Popular Post Diesel is Desire Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 - The endless strings of metaphors and similes on this record just fall flat. "The writing quality on these tracks really makes it difficult to feel for Taylor in the midst of all of this heartbreak." - Taylor hasn't taken the time conceptually or sonically to formulate a new sound, a new direction, a new evolution to coincide with this latest album cycle which she usually does with her new albums. "As a result, the material on this record on the broader pop landscape sounds derivative, sounds redundant, sounds uninspired." "I think she's closing those creative gaps by copying her contemporaries' homework. Ariana already wrote the angry at my audience for dragging me over my boyfriend anthem-of-the-year with yes, and? The song imgonnagetyouback - Olivia Rodrigo literally already did this same wordplay concept on get him back! with her latest record. There's already Florida!!! and Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? where Taylor cannot help herself from ripping off Lana Del Rey again and again and again not only lyrically, but vocally and melodically." - She needs to stop working with Jack Antonoff. "To put it bluntly, she needs to stop working with him or take a break because their creative partnership on this record is not yielding the results it used to. We're now getting multiple instrumentals that feel like Midnights but worse." "Jack forcing some awful 80s pastiche onto Taylor's songs that make them sound dated upon impact." "Jack's work with Taylor is just not what it used to be." Positive takeaways: loml is the best song on the album. 40 16 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vale9001 Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 (edited) The olivia rodrigo comparison. I have read everything . This album have been made way more than guts. Olivia Rodrigo doesn't have any kind of personal sound. There is literally nothing sounds like that if not "piano ballads". Of course true for Lana. She is really inspired by her but makes pop songs from it. Edited April 23 by vale9001 2 4 10 38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kristie Kuwa Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 Lorde deserves a mention as well, so many of these new Taylor songs (midnights and this new one) could be placed on Pure Heroine/Melodrama (sonically, not quality-wise obvi) 31 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Burn Posted April 23 Popular Post Share Posted April 23 He's right. The nerve of her to drag Lana up on that Grammys stage when she knew full well the album she was announcing was a cheap ripoff of a Lana album. 36 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kern Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 she needs to stop releasing so much music. There is only this amount of inspiration and work you can put into your music when you're doing a tour, re-recordings and hundreds of other stuff at the same time. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hephaestus Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 I'm sorry but I cannot take him seriously after than Olivia and Ariana comparison. Now if he mentioned Lana and Lorde only, that would've been a different conversation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoisonedIvy Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 He's a raging misogynist who couldn't make an album if he tried, and his opinions are wrong more often than not. This is the man that gave Ultraviolence a "4" but I'm supposed to believe he respects Lana and wants to defend her artistry? Yea sure ok 10 4 2 1 52 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea sure ok The fact he has praised taylor several times but he's only misogynist when he badly reviews her y'all need to look up what misogyny really means and realize y'all fave weaponized that to shelter herself from criticism 20 80 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
