Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Recommended Posts

Posted

Lets not drag the lyrics now, it's the thing that lifts Hack's tired synths up, while it tries so hard to drag them down:ryan3:

They're AP Lit yes, but they're not try hard & unswiftian, like The Lakes.

Girl where the **** were the melodies for the first half of  the record

Also to anyone who is worrying about the Charlie Puth line: everyone here melting down about it is taking it out of context of

them saying it after getting high together :rip: It's a joke line. Whether it lands well or not is another thing, but it is not comparable to spelling is fun.

wait, are you switching sis?! i've seen it all... i'm really excited to see what you think, especially of the 2nd half! :jonny:

I gotta work early tomorrow but just wanted to give it a quick listen and I'm at So Long, London and I really like it sonically! Those small build-ups are very nice! 

 

Gonna continue listening tomorrow before work and report back, babe :hug:

A Stevie Nicks reference in Clara Bow? That true?

 

Must be a flop song.  No one is talking about it.

Are there any songs like Maroon? :jonny2: not listening till tomorrow night

Maroon is my favorite song (and coney island) and I would say this entire album is full of close cousins to them. :cm:

I was really prepared to fully dive into Taylor standom if Fortnight sounded remotely like the AI version. :gaycat6:


It could have been song of the summer.

I'm getting Florence Welch vibes from some tracks.

People making Midnights comparisons when, if anything, there are more similarities to the 1989 vault, but even THEN it's clearly very distinct :gaycat6:

I LOVE the 1989 vault!  This is going to be GOOD for me!

 

whoohoo

Truly. We spent so much dragging Toe, but he's gone after Track 5 :deadbanana4:

Down Bad is WAY better than I was anticipating it to be. I really like the melody and the bridge.

I really like what I'm hearing sonically. No time to get into lyrics yet but nothing too distracting so far.

I've already shared my thoughts where I wanted to share them. There's a difference between analyzing the music Taylor has presented to us and just claiming this is "Midnights all over again,” completely ignoring the extremely discernible differences between the two. It's a knee jerk reaction to the music that lacks credibility, nuance, or a proper analysis. No superiority involved, you don't have to like the album, but it shouldn't be because within 3 tracks you've pegged it to be the same as another album that you are already biased against.

Sure, but there is no denying that there is a large subset of people who immediately pan every new release and complain about Jack Antonoff, only to switch when the first week numbers come out. It's been the same song and dance since Lover (maybe minus Folklore, since that's when she first brought Aaron into the mix). 
 

And not surprisingly enough, none of these people were part of the original thread. 

 

both of these are very valid points and im not denying that bias is obviously present no matter who's talking about the album, I just hate this idea of only some people being able to review taylor's music and anyone who gives the seemingly "wrong" opinion must not know what they're doing, when those aren't mutually exclusive concepts
