I really hope this is the last album that is majority produced by Jack. 
 

That said…TTPD a combination and expansion of 1989 and Midnights, while lyrically it's the big sister of Folklore. A very well put together, cohesive, albeit raw project that will hopefully start the conversation about her being one of the greatest songwriters and composers of all time.

This is gonna break Adele's 25 record and she will keep working with Hack forever since ppl just massbuy the album before they even hear 1 second of music

well it's over. Even though I felt like I've heard every song before, I liked this more than Midnights. It's hard to predict the single because nothing really stands out in a unique way. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me could work as a lead imo.

Overall cute and very safe, just as expected 

7/10

He inspired her best album, I fear. 

We love a tortured poet.

This is exactly the sound I expected from this album....this depressed, angry, slightly muted, cynical, bitter, angsty psychedelic synth-pop/soft rock with incredible driving choruses and bridges and lots of camp and humor.

 

I'm so happy.

You swore that you loved me but where were the clues?

I died on the altar waiting for the proof

You sacrificed us to the Gods of your bluest days 

 

 mother, I'm so sorry I doubted you 

[ParisTexas]

I really need friday to come faster and see the lyrics because she came mad as hell to the studio

[Trent W]

Im waiting for the release date

 

But I'm scared by the Midnights references in this thread

 

Another Lover/Midnights/1989 type of album the the least I want from her

I'm happy with everything I swear, I can live with the CP line, but please can we switch the lead? It's annoys me!! It's so gonna flop and I don't need that.

Florida is the only good song in the entire album. It's probably due to the fact that Florence saved the song from being mid.

!!!

 

This is the worst album of hers.

 

Just because it's a heartbreak album doesn't mean the album needs to be so monotone.

 

There's a plethora of emotions one feels in heartbreak: anger, resentment, depression, spitefulness, euphoria, Deja Vu, etc.

[Oxygen]

My top three at this stage is:

Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?

Florida!!!!!

But Daddy I Love Him

[Life Savers]

I won't listen until it's out but ATRL HATED Midnights chicken, so if they think Poets is mid it means it's a masterpiece

Desperately forcing myself to like it because I know the first week numbers will be huge. Gonna keep shoving it down my throat even though it sounds like  MIDnights reject and MIDnights itself was a reject 

she's been diggin the vaults for so long that her whole studio life is about rejected productions now

she needs to burn that synth keyboard along with jack in it. start fresh queen, stop diggin

 

 

[Revolution]

So far this is not good.

[Gladiator]

I just finished the album first listen.
