Kimi Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Anthology is weaker lmao. Pretentious Switfies hearing mostly stripped back production and thinking it's ultimately better and artsy is so funny, when in fact it sounds like a bunch of lifeless pop songs 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay07 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) For the people scoffing at "paid reviews" does anyone have any idea the kind of traffic and ad revenue Taylor retweeting a website can bring? I certainly didn't see Beyonce retweeting good reviews. Edited April 22 by Jay07 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, the fact she retweeted them only makes it more clear that they must have a deal where they give Taylor a positive review, and in return she reshares the review driving traffic to their website, and bam, everyone's happy! 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if there isn't a deal between them, I imagine a lot of publications would do a good review just for the fanbase support like how Billboard would always overly praise bad kpop albums because it got them a lot of money from engagement 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meev Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 5 hours ago, NEUTRON said: you do realize the same reviewer gave RED TV an 8.5 and BEST NEW MUSIC right? And you do realize that Red TV and TTPD are completely different sounding albums right? This reviewer likes the sound of Red TV, and the sound of TTPD doesn't appeal to her because she is not the target audience of the album. Her musical taste is probably the same as yours.

Or you praise it and you will be brought upfront or you don't like it and you get nothing. All those people got lots of exposure and money know thanks to taylor retweeting etc. she is manipulating the industry and its literally disgusting. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSXP Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I'm quite certain that P4K has a team that listens and give their score then someone writes out the review. So, the score isn't indicative of one person's opinion. Personally, I think TTPD + Anthology isn't bad, but It's not great. I think an editor was needed. I also think maybe Taylor needs to ask herself "what am I trying to say?" or "what's the purpose of this album?". Midnights wasn't particularly great either but I do think I left with something. The concept was very clear. I also think it executed it well as a pop album. I cant say the same here. You really start to look around wondering what am I doing here.
