Thor Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This deserves to be in the 50s cuz it's such an offensively terrible album but of course in the era of poptism, it's gonna end up in the 80s. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean Rolling Stone has been on Taylor's payroll for so long: - folklore: 4.5/5 - evermore: 4.5/5 - Red TV: 5/5 - Midnights: 5/5 - 1989 TV: 5/5 - TTPD: 5/5 It's hardly professional anymore, and of course several of these reviews were from Rob Sheffield 20 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M.R. Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Quote It seems that Taylor Swift has found her aesthetic comfort zone. This is a problem. Musically, Swift has fallen into a holding pattern of soft-thrumming synthpop and even softer quasi-folk. The sounds and patterns — the gentle keyboard twinkles, the tick-tock drum machines, the shivery chords, the murmuring multi-tracked backup vocals — are all played out. In the past, Taylor Swift albums have presented some new idea, some sonic progression or wrinkle. At least for now, that's over. Swift remains in the Midnights zone, and what we get is what we get. I like Taylor Swift bonus tracks, but I've gotten a lot of them over the past few years, and she has just dropped another 31 of them — a same-sounding chunk that lasts for more than two hours and almost never cranks the energy-level up. It's excessive. Nice write-up from Stereogum. Doesn't count for MC. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benyonce Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Taylor is one of the greatest lyricists of all time but the criticism of certain lyrics is totally fair. They stand out like a sore thumb because they are surrounded by well written verses, which makes them even more jarring. For me, this album sits above Midnights, Reputation and Lover but well behind her best works like Folklore/Evermore, Fearless, Speak Now and 1989.
