same score as the original

 

discuss!

Well, they’re off as always, and their assessment of ****! is boringly off the mark, but it’s a cute enough score for them so I’ll stop complaining.

Same as the original 

Deserves a worse score than the original for its worse production and vocals takes so this was v generous of them 

it's not bad

Well according to them it’s the most faithful of the TVs so far 

This deserves nothing higher than a 6.5. The production ruins it

 

Blank Space & How You Get The Girl sound awful instrumentally.

This is a more accurate review than most have been giving it, but the original deserved higher. The hollow productions take so much away from it.

Giving this ******* heap of rotting garbage a higher score than Sampha's new album is literally an international disgrace

great  the sound engineers on Atrl lost

Please stop being miserable.

 

I literally played Lahai like 20 times (yet 1989 TV like....3 times) and meanwhile it got a 7.0 is a travesty, it got nothing to do with this album. 

 

Too high. Also seems like they're just rating the vault tracks not the actual re-recordings.

Taylor Swift's trickling monopoly over the industry is straight up the worst thing to have happened to modern music

Decent score  

Well, they’re off as always, and their assessment of ****! is boringly off the mark, but it’s a cute enough score for them so I’ll stop complaining. 5.7/10 would’ve been more accurate 

Better than it deserves, but at least they're somewhat honest unlike those other critics that don't even bother actualing critiquing and just give a 100 because it's by Taylor Swift and nothing more.

The OTH is scrumbling again. Stream your faves albums first than getting your feels and vibes

Vault tracks might deserve 8.0 but the rest of album is not worthy anything more than 6.0.

Once again, I’ve never put much stock into Pitchfork, but it’s fine. Love to see the OTHs running into this thread, though. 

-1 point would be fine.

A 7.7 is good idk why people think otherwise

Out of touch motherfuckers!

Where is the correlation?   

deserved 6.5-6.8 at best for its karaoke production and downgraded vocals. Clean is the only song that has gotten better somehow.

Should be higher for the best TV yet. Their score for Speak Now, the weakest one yet, was a little too high.
