Is there anything like WCS, Electric Touch, or Foolish One???? :ryan3:

Check out the song Timeless :ryan3:

i'm almost done listening to the album and so far i would rank this in the middle of her discography 

 

a lot of the songs start to sound the same by the end 

 

the person who said this album is as if Midnights and Folklore (with weaker lyrics) had a child got it right

Well yes! 
 

Beats are a very important element in song creation. And it seems to be a very very common complaint, without a good beat the melody suffers.

 

and if you just have lyrics, that's just spoken poetry (and not even good poetry this go around)

 

Let's try harder to rebuttal next time!

:coffee2:

 

There's some great beats and melodies in here, though. Guilty as Sin has a classic Michelle Branch-esque driving chorus and sexy vibe. Down Bad is an angry little bop. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart dabbles a tiny bit in hyperpop. 

 

It's not all just lyrics, there's just a lot going on here.

Fortnight is T3 on the album x :ryan3:

 

And idk where y'all are getting WCS from:ryan3:

Posted (edited)

I just listened to the whole album and... It's definitely better than Midnights and it's not Midnights 2.0. If you were expecting a completely different genre from Taylor like rock or pop anthems like 1989, you'd be disappointed, but if you didn't have any expectations like I did, you get a great concept album that has a slight experimental sound to it. It's beautifully written, it reminds me of Lana (and she's one of my favorite singers), and it seems this album was made for us alt-pop fans :clap3: I like the use of live instruments on most of the songs and their build-up, to me this album is what Midnights was supposed to be... Taylor you will always be famous!

The main criticism I have is that Fortnight really sets you up for disappointment. Making it track 1 is already tasteless, but the making it the lead single is beyond crazy. :deadbanana2:

I like Fortnight, but Taylor really is not the best sometimes at tracklist order. :jonny3:

Yeah and I also think he's made some amazing music with Taylor but this is truly just him being on autopilot, on par with Solar Power

The way I have chosen to believe But Daddy I Love Him is about a he/him lesbian rather than Ratty. All the other lyrics fit the narrative of conservative religious homophobes. 

 

Now who is ready for THAT discourse!?

The chorus flow is giving Style with a slower tempo, and wordier lines.

 

Style though >

Well, MAX MARTIN is Pop Genius. He knows where and how to edit Taylor for pop perfections. @Jaspurr @Goaty will agree.

No I'm sorry loml is a White Horse tier ballad :jonny5:

 

It's so Fearless-coded :jonny5:

 

The lyrics are tight, the melody is Fearless, the instrumentation :jonny5:

That is very interesting since we seem to have the same opinion on TS songs. Like I like some of Melodrama, but it doesn't touch Pure Heroine and I do not like NFR or Ocean Blvd (outside of like 4-5 tracks from each), but I do really like Chemtrails and Blue Bannisters.

IMO:

 

1. Hints of WCS.

 

No Electric Touch (too early Taylor-style to be replicated). Foolish One positively none.


It's mostly a sexy love album. The photos are catfishing again.

 

The album is very wordy.

 

No WCS sister? No song as good as Foolish God? Not a break-up rock album?

ALBUM CANCELLED.

10K DEBUT SALES (IF SHE'S LUCKY).

NO BILLBOARD HOT 100 TOP 10 DOMINATION.

BUBBLING UNDER CHARTS.

CRITICALLY PANNED.

BELOW 50 ON METACRITIC.
