Fama Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 10 minutes ago, Arrows said: I really think the title track is responsible for at least 10 negative points on Metacritic. It's by far the most Jack-sounding song on the album, it's the title track which automatically makes emblematic of the album, it's track 2 and sets the tone early on, following a pretty similar-sounding track 1. It also contains the Charlie Puth lyric, the off-putting Matty references and is just a pretty weak track, which the poor streaming updates reflect. It's okay, but my least favorite on the album, which imo would've been better off without it. It doesn't help that we know she wrote lyrics like You smokеd, then ate seven bars of chocolate We declared Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist I scratch your head, you fall asleep Like a tattooed golden retriever about this guy: Spoiler It's so I'm happy for the people who have no idea about who she wrote these lyrics. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vale9001 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Lille said: It's one of few tracks I think is completely inconsequential (lyrically and musically) to the album. Nothing is gained by keeping it in. She Always puts a track like this on an album cause She knows there is that 2008 fan follows her for a song like this. As She Always put that kinda of kid bop song herw is that One about the tour cause She knows every album has a fan base of Kids- pop fans and at least One Song doesn't alienate completely her from that. She's a the master of the confection of a and album for this reason too. Edited April 23 by vale9001 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've grown to like it, but it's so convoluted even for a fan that I can understand why a casual listener would be put off and disregard the rest of the album.

It's much better than that, but I hear it That bridge (especially the wo-oh-oh part) is also taken straight out of Fame Monster era Gaga So good oh my god, this is the first time i see someone post this, but the bridge is SOOO early gaga 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Down Bad is one of the worst songs she's put out on a standard edition of an album maybe ever for me I just cannot find anything I like about that song. I think the alien themes she uses are interesting but the chorus of the song feels so disjointed from the rest. There's an interesting concept in there but it did not land at all for me.

Arrows Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 My Mom is as GP'ed as they come (her favorite songs are Shallow and Shape Of You) and she LOVED this album. She was blown away and it was really just so cute: "this has to be the best thing she's EVER done!". She ended up lying in my sofa, eyes closed, taking in every song. And she's never really been that into Taylor before, so I was really surprised. She even said the word "genius" when WAOLOM ended, and brought up Bob Dylan as an artist Taylor reminded her of Thanks for all the magical moments your music brings, Taylor 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor fanboy Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 13 hours ago, Walk_Away21 said: Oh sweetie let me get on my soap box. TLDR version @Taylor fanboy: Both Down Bad meanings are used simultaneously. She's Down Bad sad about it ending, BUT still Down Bad for that experience and wants it back. Emily Dickinson is shaking. The alien theme is GIVING the whole song. Beam me up, sparkling dust, experiments on me, chosen one, cosmic love, etc are the obvious ones. "Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up" aka she wants her UFO back. "Just to leave me here naked and alone? In a field in my same old town that somehow seems so hollow now" is giving Signs crop circles. "They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you" alien conspiracy theorists "hostile takeovers" is a common alien theme where they abduct you and mind control you "Encounters" Close Encounters of the Third Kind She echos "waving at the ship" at the end aka waving goodbye to the UFO and accepting it She ******* ate this extraterrestrial concept down. Chats and Reacts you are bones. Oh honey you should write a book. Rob Sheffield is shaking. Her ET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
