I love the album! :heart: Needed some time with it, but now I'm obsessed. I still can't believe we got so many new songs, she's really insane.

I love how much My Boy sounds like it could be on 1989 :jonny5:

'But Daddy I Love Him' is a career highlight. It's SO Taylor Swift. Delusional, angry, insane, unhinged, romantic.

 

She hasn't wrote an unhinged song like this since Getaway Car. 

 

MATTY HEALY WE LOVE YOU.

Hi all,

Does anyone have THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT booklet scans in HQ? I have a printer that scans but it's kinda **** quality and I want to make a digital version of the booklet so any help is appreciated.

Any edition is fine but I would prefer The Manuscript vinyl and/or The Black Dog CD one. Thank you! 🤍

The percussion and twinkling synths makes it feel so breezy and chill

I'm just gonna say that this album reminds of Speak Now, if you get it you get it. If you don't, you don't.

I wonder if there's a measurable difference in opinion between people who experienced this album all at once and people who listened to the leak early and essentially experienced two separate releases.

This is worth researching, let me know when you start compiling the data :nicole:

Wait that's what it reminded me of. I love it but now I'm wondering that MM production on would sound like :khalyan:

On the Jack subject,

 

I have been a Jack defender since day 1. I think him and Taylor are an excellent pairing and they've done so many amazing songs together. With TTPD, I feel like they've finally peaked together and that they've reached the limits of where Jack can take her sonically, which is what I always thought he could do. He brought his synths sensibilities and impeccably bridged the gap between a very conventional pop sound and a more experimental sound, especially on the second half of the standard edition. Songs like Who's Afraid, Florida or Fresh Out The Slammer are perfect representations of that.

 

But for the future, I would really like Taylor to fully cross that bridge and go into a more experimental sound, which is something I don't think Jack can do. 

I totally agree

I Look in People's Windows is the best song on the entire thing, sorry...

Y'all need to let that intentionally discourse-baiting Paste review go (imagine thinking the problem is that Taylor Swift of all people isn't trying) when the Stereogum review has many of the same criticisms except it is a) much better written and b) actually attempts to engage with Taylor as a human being instead of just as a vessel for projection and clickbait

I'm not sure who else here understands chord progressions but Aaron Dessner's chord progressions are so different and unique and that pushes Taylor to write these gorgeous melodies and lyrics that she wouldn't have been able to write with other producers, for example on The Prophecy.. Aaron truly hits different. Her best collaborator. :jonny5:

As I process this I'm just screaming about how unhinged she is on this project. She really DRAGGED us swifties and rightly so.

LOL No, Speak Now is my forever top 1 TS album but this album is not even on Fearless level of quality.
