fa77ot Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 (edited) no, reputa should be 10.0 MIDnights and pppptttttddd or whatever it is 0.0 Edited April 22 by fa77ot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackoutZone Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 We shouldn't count the retrospective reviews, we know it's not the same. Otherwise it's pretty good of a ranking, just move reputa at the very bottom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raphy23 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 "There's the one that borrows its premise from Olivia Rodrigo". (they are referring to Get Him Back!). But which TTPD song are they referring to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gelato Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Reputation too low, Red and MIDnights too high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayDuaStan Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Two of her worst albums at the top while two of her best on the bottom. That says everything i need to know about PF's credibility Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illuminati Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The Anthology being her lowest is kinda a surprise. I agree with their ranking more than yours though, Fearless is not her best album Pitchfork reviews always seem like a game of dice, it's unimaginable to me how they chose not to review 1989 initially (instead reviewing a cover album???) or 30, some of the biggest albums in recent memory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Achilles. Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The thing with them (and most other critics) is that their initial scores tend to be biased by however they feel about Taylor as a celebrity at the time, while retrospective reviews and scores are detached from that and thus more purely evaluate the music on its own merit. Hence three rerecordings being her highest rated albums here. They do have the correct top 5, if in the wrong order. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoMarcoCMM Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Folklore should be higher than Red and Speak Now, IMO. Lover should be lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Pitchfork hardly gets -any- artists right. Let alone the most polarizing mainstream artist of this past decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
