Careful, the Aaron stans are gonna be mad at you for this blasphemy You're 100% right though, Jack did some amazing production work on this album but of course some people won't ever give him credit as always. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of his production drag the songs down instead of elevating them. What kind of production standards do we have here? Cowboy Carter is what I would call amazing productions, ones that elevate the music and take you on a wild journey from start to finish - bold, expansive, rich, innovative, artistic. TTPD productions are a stagnant sludge of safe and reused sounds that take you nowhere. She needs to fire them both asap. They are stifling her at the most creative and pivotal point in her career. This album could have been so much more with a more fitting sound. 4 1 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And PLEASE Beyonce doesn't even write anything, i'm not gonna give her any credit for anything. "Innovative" Jack haters are truly something i swear Edited May 10 by Enrique523 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YR. Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Some great things about the new Eras: - I completely love WAOLOM now. I didn't like it until the performance and live arrangement sold me on it. great song and very camp - I love that So High School is on the setlist so much. Can TikTok be useful for once and make this an undeniable smash that she can't ignore? I have never wanted a single from her so bad like this - But Daddy I Love Him just keeps getting better and better - She left out the dreadful My Boy out of the setlist THANK GOD The awful: - Guilty as sin not being performed when it's so clearly a standout track. Girl can't choose a single for her dear life 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffy Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 Am I the only one mishearing these lyrics in the bridge of WAOLOM? I keep hearing "You wouldn't last an hour in me" but it's actually "you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selena_lavigne Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) If we are talking about the standard edition of the album AND ONLY THAT VERSION, TS11 gets a 3.5/5 from me. AND A VERY GENEROUS 3.5/5. These scores are extremely generous. Edited May 11 by selena_lavigne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selena_lavigne Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 (edited) Like, i love this album, technically. I like this album better when i'm not playing it than when i'm actually listening to it. But for some reason i can barely sit through it nowadays. She starts it out with Fortnight and it starts off right where we left off with Hits Different. A great start. It takes a slight pivot with Track 2 but i can tolerate the shift in direction. But when we get to Track 3 i can't help but acknowledge this is not the album it could have been. She could have told a really cool story here, like the one she told in Midnights but a different story. But instead it all kinda gets muddled and incoherent at times. I enjoy many of the themes. I just feel they aren't tied together in a way where i can say THAT is an incredible album you should listen to. It's not that. But i have learned to enjoy it for what it is.

Anything slightly interesting was produced by him, except a couple of tracks where you can see Aaron was inspired a little bit. honestly the biggest problem is the flow of the tracklist itself. the first four songs are kinda the samey lo-fi midtempo synthpop that it becomes so immediately jarring to a casual listener. even i was fully bought into the "this is just 1989 vault/Midnights all over again" narrative. but then we get so many more interesting songs production-wise afterwards like Florida!!!, FOTS, WAOLOM? afterwards. I believe moving some songs around and switching some for a couple interesting The Anthology tracks (The Black Dog, So High School, How Did It End?, I Look in People's Windows) would easily solve a lot of listening problems from the get go.

MAYBE but i'm really loyal to the tracklisting. I always believe the tracklistings are done intentionally, so if the album at times doesn't flow well, i would instantly judge the quality of the album as a whole. I personally enjoy the tracklisting. I understand it. I get it. I am judging the album as a whole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
