ALSO I cannot believe I read some Mic-hog Chapman praise in here, have we lost all SENSE of ourselves? 

That's what I call him too :gaycat7: imagine asking for Mr karaoke when we've gotten gems like 1989, folklore evermore ttpd (and rep for the fellow rep lovers) 

 

has he produced that other girl him and Scott were working with a hit yet? :pancake:

I really do agree but I wonder how much of my opinion is nostalgia. :deadbanana2:

Of course the "ttpd is a trash FLop" people disliked a freaking Chapman drag :zzz: the weird attachment to people she's dropped just to have something to complain about is too much

Y'all being fooled by her speech that she only gave cause Max was in the room.

She's never leaving Jack/Aaron at this point, doubters need to start accepting it.

It's okay to like both Nathan and Godtonoff... I do have a problem with people constantly berating others for displaying even an ounce of negativity though...

Wbk. Jack has produced almost 4x as many songs for Taylor as Max has and shown much more versatility. And especially these Nathan posts are so unserious. He did a cute job when Taylor was just strumming a guitar or playing some piano but he can't do much more than that. If anything she might want to try out some new producers but going back to Nathan and Max would be such a regression

Is there any other singer that retained the same main producer for more than 5 projects? We've had Jack around since 2014's 1989, but he wasn't the main producer. Still, though. 6 albums is a lot of his presence. I wonder what the precedent for this is

I'm still not sure why Jack is the one being bashed on this album when Aaron is the one who produced multiple songs that are almost identical to things on folklore and evermore. :deadbanana2:

I love Nathan Chapman. He has grown a lot as a producer too and he and Taylor made magic as well as she is doing with dessner. I miss him .rowe sabotaged all the country records unintentionally i guess. She should have tested her rerecordings first with several country producers first. I have no choice but to listen to some of big machine master recordings cuz my favorite taylor songs were butchered to the point of being unlistenable. Also the amateurish copy and paste and vocal editing on speak now my god... prob the worst rerecording yet. Hopefully one day the old ones will come back and be hers again.

Its not dessner's and antonoff's finest work. When dessner said the album was good instead of great in an interview now i know what he meant. TTPD is not top tier work.

What all of the (really great) think pieces being posted in here are underscoring for me is that, in spite of (or maybe because of) all its flaws, this album is more interesting to unpack than a Taylor album has been since... maybe pre-1989? If ever?

 

It's convoluted and actively hostile in a way that those who are reading it uncharitably are assuming is an accidental byproduct of being bad but everyone who's spent even a little time thinking critically about Taylor Swift (and I've spent far too much) can see clear as day is mostly very intentional in a way that - not to use the same word again - is just plain interesting. 

If I had to answer right now, I'd probably rank it no higher than #6 or maybe #5 on an all-time Taylor album ranking, but I'm also spending more time thinking about it than I have pretty much any of those other albums. There's so much to chew on and interrogate if you're willing to look past your misgivings about who produced what or what music you'd rather her be making instead. In many ways, this album is her unequivocal f you to that entire conversation in the first place.

A month of this album and I still really hate it :\ I was expecting so much more from her and I LOVE Taylor (1989 my fave album of all time and I love Fearless, Red, Rep, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, and Midnights), but this album was *really* not for me. It feels like she was focused on writing *lyrics* and seeing how many viral tiktok sounds she can get as opposed to making *music*.
