Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'


Recommended Posts

Posted

The immediate jumpscare of going from False God to You Need To Calm Down, ughhhhh...

 

PR queen was trying to do yet another PR move and made one of the most offensive song of her career. It's so bad it hurts. "Shade never made anybody less gay" might be the only redeeming quality of the song because she was so sure to be making a point and came up with something this bad that it made it camp.

Afterglow, we salute you for doing your thing despite between in the middle of two nightmares. You should have been the album closer, the rest is not even worth continuing this album. It even works perfectly as a closer, both narratively and sonically. It's just good you know?!

Yeah no One will notice their copy has been opened. And what worker doesn't have a vinyl player on its work station at the warehouse?. Together with a fridge and a television :laugh:

You guys just can't accept the fact that a group of non-swiftie dudes are listening the album and laughing at it together before you can even see the album credit

"I promise you'll never find another like ME!"... all I can say is I hope she was talking about the song and that we're never getting something so terribly bad and cringy ever again.

I quote "damn it's 7 am" all the time when I accidentally fail to fall asleep. Personally iconic line I fear. :jonnycat:
 

"I ain't tryna mess with your self expression but I've learned a lesson that stressin' and obsessin' 'bout someone else is no fun" is fine. All those -ess sounds flow so good. 
 

Always kinda liked the production. It sounds big and expensive.

Let me do a group thing for It's Nice To Have A Friend and Daylight. Thank you for your service, but you really weren't needed and the definition of not bad, but filler, and mid. And god save us from that awful spoken outro.

The way I love/like/use 7 songs on Lover and like/use 7 songs on Rep and Need could literally tip the scales in Lover's favor, but it hasn't even been officially released or made available for streaming 

 

It's like Lover wants to fail

I don't like IFTYE so I made a Lover playlist with The Archer as the opening track and it sets the mood for the album perfectly. Then the transition to Cruel Summer makes it so much better :clack:

Lover is kinda strange, cause I really enjoyed this album when it came out and years after, but now it's #8 on my ranking. I had strong emotional connections to some songs and the album overall was giving "nostalgic summer" for years. But now when I listen to it, most of the time it feels predictable and flat, only some highlights are making it enjoyable. I never hated ANY of the songs on this album (except for It's Nice To Be A Flop).

Louis Bell should go behind bars for recording IFTYE. That song is disgusting. Let us pray that he was nowhere near the studio whenever Taylor and Post were recording Fortnight. He would have to pull an actual pop State of Grace for him to be forgiven.

This is exactly how I feel about it. I think when it was new I even said it was her 3rd best album behind Red and Speak Now ( :rip: ... ) but now it's either #9 or #10 for me in my ranking. Really weird.

 

INTHAF is one of my faves though :rip:

Nnnn on the topic of IFTYE, what a waste of a cute instrumental. Clearly it was never opener material (mistake #1), but the production kind of gives cute lil mid pop album bop that bridges the gap between two more important (and better) moments. 

Of course instead, she made it the opener and put some of her worst lyrics ever on it.

Anyway overall Lover is pretty average. There are some good songs on it, but overall it feels more like a compilation of songs than an actual album.

8. Afterglow

Bonus - All Of The Girls You Loved Before

Overall there are more songs I really like on Lover than on Reputation, but Reputation actually is an album and not just a compilation of songs. So that's why they're tied on the bottom of her discography for me. 

 

Can't wait for the redemption tomorrow. :heart:
