I feel like she had a better ear for melodies at 18 which is crazy. Everything is just a run on sentence now... she's not even singing half the time. i kind of get it. for me it's the unnecessary words she chooses. Like "the bolter" sounds like Jack auto generated 50 random words and gave her a challenge to write a song using all of the words. 1 4

Bartender Posted April 26 Posted April 26 The songs are growing on me but it still doesn't work as an album for me Like it doesn't even fit the "Tortured Poets" concept I wish she went for something different I would've appreciated it better 1 1

TeamThiem Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Swift's 11th LP will earn 864 million streams in its first week, surpassing the previous record-holder, Drake's Scorpion (746m), by more than 100m. Holy ISH!
Mandalore Posted April 26 Posted April 26 So High School would be the perfect early fall single. Think back to school vibes / start of the NFL season hehe 1

I feel like she had a better ear for melodies at 18 which is crazy. Everything is just a run on sentence now... she's not even singing half the time. I been saying that too. Like they are not bad, but they are not top tier Taylor Swift level melodies. My Boy - average melodies with lots of oh-ohs and full of metaphors. Katy Perried lyrics tbh. Katy was always a queen of not being able to put a sentence together without using a metaphor. Down Bad - very vibey song, but the melodies are also very mid. And the same problem with non stop metaphors. So Long - also pretty mid melodies. The Archer level Track 5 Slammer - same. Pretty tiring melody. Not bad, but not top tier at all. Clara is also pretty meh Side B is miles ahead in the melodic department. And don't get me started on the production. Side B is bright and clear and complements all the songs and her voice shines on top of them. Side A is muddy and muted and her voice drowns in it. She certainly hasn't lost her melodic sense because there are many strong vocal melodies on this album, even on Side A. But still, there are far too many missteps and boring moments. Midnights > TTPD:main. I know a lot of people would hate to hear this right now while the album is still new and shiny, but we'll see your album rankings in a year or two from now 3 1 2
dynastee Posted April 26 Posted April 26 imgonnagetyouback is giving sleeper hit, like something that could get 4M streams for months if she promoted 9
Tusk Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Let's see the complaints: -not actually a tortured poets album -no melodies -where are the bops and pop songs Counterpoint: -these are poems set to music. -not written to serve pop music structure because yet again, these are poems 3

'Cause She's still owning the top 10.... yeah, that's how you know all these random songs by nonamer artists and Khias that are blowing up are rn are not legit. At least when flowers blew up, it was at the top of every platforms, so how is it that they're top 2-5 on one platform but out of the top 10, lower than 9 album tracks on others?

Hitchhiker Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Clara Bow is underrated the way she pronounces Remarkable and Dazzling itches my brain pretty well

And this introduction of autoplay is such a terrible news for the whole TTPD era on Spotify tbh. All these khia songs wouldn't be doing 1/2-1/3 of their current streams without autoplay or discovery mode or whatever it's called, and yet they're nearing the streams of the new single just dropped by the biggest artist of all time on Spotify? Gtfo of here. And taylor should start writing checks to Spotify but instead she let fortnight be dropped to #3 on tth instead, so Edited April 26 by Kitboga 2

I know a lot of people would hate to hear this right now while the album is still new and shiny, but we'll see your album rankings in a year or two from now I don't know at this moment i Remember people here already were calling It MIDnights. People like this album exactly for what you think are the weaker points cause sounds something different. I can understand you don't like It but fans apprecciate this thing, while midnights for most people was just a reductive and too minimal version of her typical style. Edited April 26 by vale9001

It feels like no one's talking about it but it's easily top 3 catchiest on the album. It's been on repeat for me. I wish it would but I just can't see it ending up being a hit 2
