Popular Post Sugden Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 Between producer Jack Antonoff's atrocious backing instrumental and the Y2K-era, teen dramedy echo chamber of a vocal harmony provided by out-of-place guest performer Post Malone, "Fortnight" chokes on the vomit of its own opaqueness. "I took the miracle move-on drug, the effects were temporary," Swift muses, and it sounds like satire. This is your songwriter of the century? Open the schools. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bethenny Frankel Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 A 90 is very generous for this album after a few listens. I'd put it somewhere between 70-80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tortured Poets Departmentis the mark of an artist now interested in seeing how much their empire can atone for the sins of mediocrity.

Machete Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I think this will stabilize in the mid 70s. A PAN for 20s MPG standards (critics give everything a near 90 now). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThousandMiles Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This album would be so much more impactful if it was 10-12 songs, not 2 full length albums.. listening to it in full feels like a chore 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue Rose Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 1 hour ago, modern thing said: I think Pitchfork might do separate reviews for both parts - and let me predict the main album will get 6.8 They always post their big reviews on Monday at 12:01am. But they've been extremely boring so I suspect they'll give her a 7.0 (not good, not bad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
