Sugden Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 i dont think this one counts but they went innn on her damn That said, is this the album that finally grants us societal permission to say that Swift is not a great lyricist? She can be, sometimes, but greatness isn't a part-time job, and the thinning thinness of her words can make big emotions feel hollow. Plus, the objects of affection that populate these midtempo reminiscences all sound like real creeps. "At dinner, you take my ring off my middle finger and put it on the one people put wedding rings on," sings the most celebrated songwriter of her generation on her album's title track, "and that's the closest I've come to my heart exploding." Oh man. In "The Manuscript," she sings in the third person, describing a flame who once "said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was, soon they'd be pushing strollers." During "I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)," she gloms onto some imaginary bad boy, describing how "his hand, so calloused from his pistol, softly traces hearts on my face" — which must be pretty close to what you get when you ask ChatGPT to compose a Lana Del Rey hook. Attempting to further signal her maturity, Swift deploys profanity with awkward relentlessness across too many of these songs, sounding like a child test-driving her illicit new vocabulary in hopes of convincing the greater populace that she is, in fact, 34 years old. https://www.washingtonpost.com/entertainment/music/2024/04/20/taylor-swift-review-tortured-poets-department/ 1 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ks_dollar Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 1 hour ago, Chris said: Again why do people want Taylor to "try something new"? because the 31 songs sound way too similar, duh? the album sound the same as the 1989 vault tracks and half of midnights. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayDine1989 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 After 4 AOTYs and 11 sucessful studio albums, I don't think she has anything to prove in terms of creating quality music As long as the fans enjoy the music then it's a win "But snoozefest! 31 tracks! Boring!" Don't listen Go listen to your fave's upbeat album jesus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best post. Such a serene, mature album. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
