Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Something about her delivery on Who's Afraid of Little Old Mayo is a little well...mayo? idk why. LOVE the song overall but sometimes I can pick up a very mayonnaise quality to the song and it momentarily turns me off. I think it's the vocal mixing or something. Anyone else? oprah.gif

Do you guys think Robin (the actual kid) will grow up with some psychological scarring due to the swifties collective panning of the song? oprah.gif

He will, yes. But then he also has the masterpiece The Prophecy to listen to, which will give him hope again.

The production is also very flat and monotone

It misses an ounce of female rage if you ask me

It's because it's kinda overwrought and corny and Taylor doesn't have the vocals to really deliver it effectively/convincingly, OR because the lyrics border or cringe at times.

 

No one kill me. I really like the song and I love her but :gayalipacat5:

I don't relate but I see what you're getting at. In any way, everything would be solved if she bothered releasing the most important variant of all: TTPD with WAOLOM live at The Eras Tour.

that's true tbh BUT I kinda like that aspect of it! It makes me feel like i'm attending a play about witches or mad women or something in the off broadway...like Rebecca or something so that aspect I kinda enjoy but then you pair it up with the unfinished vocal production and it feels a bit like a demo but idk. Sometimes I love that quality about it tbh. I'm conflicted

Knowing that's how she felt when she wrote the song and then she found her prince Mr. Football? That tiger boy will feel HOPE.

The fact 4 songs away is either But Daddy I Love Him or The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived and that both songs would be worthy of the title... your mind.

The only bad thing I have to say about it is that everytime the song finishes, I'm mad there's not an additional 2 minutes. So transporting.
