well... ive finished the listen and its.. an interesting album. 

 

I think that trying to prioritize this idea of "poetry" or "good lyricism" has resulted in the sacrifice of the songs actually... sounding good? i very much get love + fear by marina vibes...

 

HOWEVER. this is not the case for the whole album! Standouts are Florida, Guilty as Sin?, Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?, Clara Bow, and The Black Dog.

 

The rest of the songs, though, are **** im sorry 😭

Okay, I finally finished this and some thoughts:

  • As I said before, Jack needs to go. Dessner did a good job.
  • It's a pretty okay album. Some highlights, but ultimately even weaker than Midnights or Lover.
  • The album starts off weak, gets better from track 7 onwards.
  • Shocking lack of single material. I mean, I'm sure the GP will latch onto something (she's Taylor Swift after all), but there are no Anti-Heros or Cruel Summers here.
  • I Can Do It With a Broken Heart... I get (and appreciate) was she was going for, but Jack was NOT the producer for this.
  • There's a solid 40-minute album somewhere in here. I get that Taylor Swift™© is built on delivering as much music as possible (and I recognize her hard work), but curation has been needed on her studio albums for some time now.

Highlights: title track, Fresh Out the Slammer, Florida!!!, Who's Afraid, Loml and Clara Bow

Score: 6.0

She's never doing another Folkmore, is she? :'(

On ATRL you read opinions of people who are not her target and don't like her music

It is quite boring but nicely done and very similar in sound to previous one (and very average songwriting, miles away from folklore). I really like the opening track. But she needs a new partner producer to go with different sound and refresh her style a bit. Lots of songs have the same tone as some Lorde songs.

Guilty As Sin best song here I think.

 

Overall tho-- another subpar effort from ms swift, second in a row. Strike three and she's out!

So what I'm seeing is the usual suspects/OTHs rushing to listen to the leak and say it's bad, but the swifties are enjoying it. That's all I need to know. They can keep seething and suffering :suburban:

a few songs  sound like something that would be on Midnights, but the album as a whole is definitely a new vibe for her I'm sorry I can't take anyone who says otherwise seriously
