Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Recommended Posts

The only thing that's left is the manuscript
One last souvenir from my trip to your shores
Now and then I reread the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore

That's so weird cause they're kind of the best verses she's ever written. :suburban:

Today I fathomed that the last chorus of So Long, London is a TRIPLE chorus, a first for Her. 

 

[Chorus][1]
So long, London
You'll find someone

 

[Chorus][2]

For so long, London
Stitches undone
Two graves, one gun
I'll find someone

 

[Chorus][3]

So long, London
Had a good run 
A moment of warm sun 
But I'm not the one 
So long, London 
Stitches undone 
Two graves, one gun 
You'll find someone

So many 13/10 songs. I cannot pick top 3. But these are the highlight for me. What an album

 

The devastating piano ballad: loml, The Black Dog, Cossomo, How did it end?.
The dramatic: But daddy i love him, Who afraid of little old me?
The bops: Down bad, Guilty as Sin, Florida
The loneliness trinity: The prophecy, I hate it here, I look in people's window

An album consisting of the first 20 tracks would've been her magnum opus.

This album is probably the biggest grower album I've heard

 

Still would've loved a few more slightly uptempo songs

fresh out the slammer is approaching her best song ever i fear… a career highlight with such infectious melodies. and that guitar is literally so sexy and i love the entire structure of the song ugh i don't understand why it's not talked about more. one day.

I feel like Slammer and Daddy have the most catchiest choruses

Down Bad is so typical vibe when you're in a situantionship. Angry, dissapointed and of course at the gym because he ghosted you

the title track is maybe the song grew up more for me..not it's the best but it really grew up

 

maybe cause it's the song in which the songwriting is the more classic by her but at the same time we never had if you think about it a song with this songwriting style and this sounds makes it like an 80s singer songwriter classic (with even the "blended" and not clear cut ending). Yeah the general sound has been used in the past but not in this very specific way, so if you think about it she's different girl after all!

I think the absolute best thing about this album is how much she's emoting on so many of the songs. Her voice in some of them is heart wrenching.

I luv taylor but i needed some uptempos on this album... why didnt she released this in the fall though. Now i have to look for bops from other singers for my summer playlist. TTPD is a good album but it aint her best work at all. Definitely not a magnum opus a great addition sure but nothing groundbreaking. Been there done that tbh. Fearless,1989,Folklore,Rep and Midnights remain the standard.

Nobody will give Taylor credit for how good her vocals are because she can't do crazy notes :rip:

I don't read critics reviews, but I'm glad they do. Stans seem to act like Taylor's singing is awful when she's easily capable of sounding the same live as the studio track and on the actual studio tracks her emotion, delivery and cadence are kind of unmatched.

recently i don't remember what big magazine put her on the greatest voices list.

When evermore came a music critics here on the biggest newspaper wrote in his review "an album incredibly sang"

some week ago i saw her phil collins cover on youtube and Phil collins himself wrote "such a beautiful voice, she nailed this"

 

i guess people grew up listening to bob dylan don't care about whistle notes.
