Khal Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Surprised people are coming for Jack/the production considering I thought that was that was one of the only few interesting things from the songs I've listened to so far. The low points have actually been the lyrics. Idk why she decided to regress to her Reputation era schtick of being too literal.
queenoftheclouds Posted April 18 Posted April 18 The synth Pop is over used. I believe Delicate's success ruined her.
Hunter_13 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Well from what I see most of the hate is coming from Ariana and Beyonce stans so I know the album must actually be good.

Some of us haven't even heard it, I wanna hear it in Spotify and not some bit torrent BS As someone who hasn't heard anything I can tell most of the people hating on the album are people who already hated her before. Haven't really seen any real fans trashing it other than very few isolated cases i'm a fan since the album 1989. It sounds like Midnights mixed with Folklore lyrics, kinda Mastermindish (like Suburuban). There are some highlights tho like My Boy Only… where i like the melodies and it's catchy but as a biased fan who always liked the albums at first listen it just falls flat. It's my personal opinion tho but it's just not it. 1
Daddy Posted April 18 Posted April 18 There's a difference between the reactions of leaks and the official release. I feel like people listening to leaks are a) more critical and b) usually more unhinged in their opinion and how they share it. Wait for Saturday to get the full picture and especially the opinions of the entire fanbase. It can change QUICKLY. I personally like it.

qurl Posted April 18 Posted April 18 i'm just so beyond uninterested in every album from her now basically being a nonsensical personal diary and this banal easter egg hunt frenzy she drives her fans into where probably half the things people are clamoring about have really no meaning but she laughs all the way to the bank knowing it will drive discourse for weeks and months .. it's a trite way of marketing .. and she already did the best version she's ever gonna do of it with folklore/evermore 3
Dante Silva Posted April 18 Posted April 18 She's going to Jack Antonoff for inspiration she should instead be going to Max Martin for, so yes.
Bends Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I suspect that she doesn't have time to reboot and get new experiences for inspiration. To be honest, I disconnected from her after the Lover album, which I still actively listen to.
Comedor Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Definition of creativity: the use of the imagination or original ideas, especially in the production of an artistic work It's not really creative when you work with the same people, on the same sound, same theme, over and over again. She's replicating a commercial. success formula. There's little to no creativity. 4
PrettyHurts Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I think it's more that she's written/released too much music in a short amount of time and a lot of it feels the same 3

Blue Monday Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) 1 hour ago, Cruel Summer said: Not even close. She's about to release her best mainly-pop album yet tonight, and plenty of her fans will love it as they have her other records. I'd argue she's only just now hitting her stride in some ways, since this album manages to be well-written and lyrically engaging while being more transparent and honest about herself than ever. The genres and sounds will change over time - and I happen to love the current one - but her writing is the core that needs to show improvement and growth, and I think it does here. If these last two album cycles are her just now hitting her stride... Edited April 18 by Blue Monday
Letemtalk Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Haven't listened to leaks, but I'm sure I will listen to the album at some stage. I kinda thought she lost her touch with Lover Midnights, but this thread seems to be a about Tortured Poets. Hoping for something better than Midnights.
mrpartyrocker Posted April 18 Posted April 18 (edited) Yes she has! Midnights was a really good album but I feel like she was going in the right direction with Reputation, however somehow she decided to go back to her typical sound just to be aligned with the gp and swifties. that being said, the album is bad and swifties denying it are just tired and cannot be taken seriously Edited April 18 by mrpartyrocker

Bimbo Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I'm not sure I would ever use "creative" to describe Taylor Swift 1 1
OrgVisual Posted April 18 Posted April 18 When you churn out album after album like McDonald's, of course there's no time for creativity. Like making art takes time 2 1
TayDine1989 Posted April 18 Posted April 18 Yes But when she smashes records again with this album, she suddenly regains her magic *touch* Spoiler LEAVE US ALONE YOU BANDWAGON WANNABE SWIFTIES
Gladiator Posted April 18 Posted April 18 I do find myself noticing some melodies she seems to have brought back on Tortured Poets that exist on other songs, but I don't think she lost her touch. Other than the lyric about Charlie Puth and the tattooed golden retriever, I think her lyricism is still very strong. The Black Dog has what I find to be her best verse in her discography. I am a big fan of the album, but I do think it will serve her best to stop having Jack (and I am someone who generally is a simp for his productions) as her main producer. It's very clear what songs are Jacks and what songs are Aarons, and Aaron's productions are much more fresh and stronger in comparison. I think a better question would be "Has Jack Antonoff lost his creativity?" and I would say signs are pointing to yes.
