no one needs to "realize" your opinion...I've been a fan since she was opening for Rascal Flatts and have been to every single tour--this album hits absolutely everything I would want personally and I didn't love Midnights

Thats also your opinion, i meant yall complaining people dont like this album is dumb, their opinions are also valid lol

Help me. Which country song does the chorus melody of The Black Dog sound like? I'm going crazy over here.

Florida!!! NEEDS a video with both Taylor and Florence in it. Maybe Killing Eve inspired? :eli:

For those who have heard the album, was Ms SweetenerTea's tea right all along? :suburban:

Im sorry but this album has no passion at all. Its just lifeless filled with an ai version of "siri take some elements of folklore and nidnights  and make an album" also she sounds the same on every track

I can't hear the climaxes of BDILH, WAOLOM, GAS, etc. and not hear passion. But to each their own.

No doubt this album will win over critics way more than Midnights. I can see the album winning AOTY to be honest if Eilish is less than a masterpiece and there is no competition.

At the end of the day we all know how Taylor's songs(lyrics) are nit picked by the pretentious stans/antis to drag her. Critics to an albums are fine but some of these stans has preconceived notions about any Taylor's albums/songs so they'll trash it anyway(lets says most out of pure jealousy).Unlike their favs(who they claimed to be groundbreaking or whatever), Taylor's albums will be consumed by generations to come,and her success & legacy will remain intact, and somehow that's everything!

I think accidentally they were right about some things but it's not so hard when they literally said "Florence has a verse, sings on it" etc.

I like her vocals that ways when she goes very high like she sounds very whiny. I dig Florida Florence really improves the song...

Isn't Beyoncé basically a shoe in for AOTY at this point?

I've only listened once fully through - because I want to wait until tomorrow (and I learned my lesson from the 3AM tracks which really elevated Midnights for me). 

 

Firstly, if one of the insiders said at the beginning of this week something like "Midnights 3AM and Folklore had a baby" I know for a fact people would have been very excited. This is the disadvantage of not releasing any songs before an album - the sound will never be what everyone has theorised in their heads and will feel like a disappointment. 

 

Secondly, I do agree the first couple of songs are a slog to get through. I think Taylor and her team are not the best at arranging a tracklist, because if those first couple of songs were scattered throughout the tracklist, it wouldn't feel as samey as Midnights. In saying that from track 6 on wards really feels like what I hoped this album would be, some great lyrics, interesting production and pushing the Taylor 2020's sound forward. 

 

Yes, the lyrics in the title track are clunky and cringey - but so was "sexy baby" from Anti-Hero. She always has a cringey clunky set of lyrics, which makes me wonder are they thrown in for people to hate listen....

 

The Black Dog is one of the best songs on here, and has me excited for the other 3 bonus tracks -  I presume this will all be Dessner? 

 

TL:DR - It's a really good/ potentially great album that delivers on all fronts. The music would have never matched the hype. The tracklisting needs work, and maybe one or two tracks cut. I can see it getting great reviews, smashing streaming records, and all the haters switching x 

Such a well written review.

Guilty as Sin gives us a vocal peak from Lord in terms of emoting unseen since the days of Speak Now, I fear..

idk how to feel about the chicken yet

and what will be the lead single?

Posted

This is just an album to get that break up off her chest. I doubt she's gonna promote it past the 6 months of this year. I hope there is a sister album with more upbeat songs though.
