I don't care what the reviews say, the Anthology is superior and isn't bloated or weighed down by lack of substance. They just lack taste. :bird:

Louder for the people in the back!!!

 

The Anthology has some of the best work of her entire career, the mixed reviews for it don't make any sense.

I was expecting it to have better scores compared to the standard for sure. Attention spans are shortening every year.

UK midweek:

 

1 Taylor Swift - THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT (19,614) [14,634 streaming, 4,261 physicals, 719 downloads]
2 Pet Shop Boys - Nonetheless (18,593) *

 

OMG she NEEDS to block them after what that band (?) member said, PLEASE :ahh: 

I'm 100% convinced it's the reason why that ass*ole started bad-mouthing her recently, he saw that she was gonna block them :toofunny3:

I think there's 2 reasons why it got mixed reviews:

 

1) The critics had to review the ENTIRE 31 songs in one go and it can be pretty overwhelming when you don't have the time to fully take the songs in. It took me a few listens myself to really GET the whole body of work and now it's one of my favorites of her entire career.

 

2) Several critics just decided to be contrarian and wanted to push back against "Swiftmania" because they don't like when a woman is at the top for too long. A lot of the negative reviews have nasty personal attacks against Taylor herself and very little about the music.

 

In any case i think most of those reviews will age very badly, people will look back years from now and wonder how the hell did it get such low reviews.

The outro to Fortnight is the BEST example of CRACK on this album.

While I do like Fresh Out The Slammer, I'm glad Guilty As Sin got the top10 spot instead, I have a feeling it wont be a single so i'm glad it at least reached the top10

I'm OBSESSED with Fortnight's outro, i think it's the best part of the song.

Im so beyond dumb I just realized Fortnight mirrors Change Of Heart by The 1975 both lyrically and sonically :deadbanana2:

 

I thought I had a revelation but then I went on YT and saw ppl already drew that conclusion 7 days ago

... I just read the lyrics to loml while listening and cried :rip: bye. Devastating song, didn't realize it after all this time nnn

I didn't really get CoSoSoM on first listen… or first few listens. Like, it was an objectively beautiful track but I was not digesting it properly. But now I think it's one of the best, the songwriting is just so amazing. And it's quite Joni-esque melodically, which speaks to me :jonnycat:

Also, not her releasing the best two ballads of her career with How Did It End? and Peter :jonny2:

 

I can't get enough of those two, they're just magnificent. I love how stripped back the anthology is with just her vocals, guitar, piano, strings.

Yeah, Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus somehow gets me in my feelings. It's beautiful.

I mean of course a review that starts with calling her an ecoterrorist is not going to age well. It's already aged like lettuce :hoetenks:

after sitting with this album for so long I found myself hoping she won't care about the critical reception focused on telling her to edit lyrics and tracks down (this album's got some of the best storytelling of her career and a 31 tracks album is BOUND to have "chops" for anyone) and cut ties with jack and aaron...

while a change of names would propel her legacy into even bigger territories, she really pushed them (or they all pushed each other) into new sonic ventures (florida, sin?, slammer) here and I ain't mad about it. If she brings someone new/more left field to the table for the next album and jack and aaron jump on board with a smaller share of tracks while still sticking to the overall cohesiveness, it's gonna be fun.

The tracks have grown on me a lot. So High School is still my favorite. 

 

Robin is underrated. Beautiful tribute to Aaron's son.

These for sure. Then i don't know. Could be anything. Depends how She wants the act to sound.  If more pop, another set seems more acoustic etc .
