byzantium Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Men deserve more trauma so they stop joyfully expressing opinions like this. 2 1
truthteller Posted July 18 Posted July 18 i can get a more accurate ranking just by using a random ranking generator
NextBish90 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Of course the Swifties are triggered again for nothing. For a person stating his opinion. At least there's no any death threads to him for now. 8
Paddy Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Not when Lover exists... sorry but as much as I love her Lover is unlistenable except 3 songs.
NEX Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Has to be the worst ranking I've ever seen. I don't even know where to begin. It's not worth the mental energy. It's like saying Ray of Light is Madonna's worst album and then putting Madame X at #1. 2 7
OrgVisual Posted July 18 Posted July 18 9. 'folklore' 8. 'Lover' 7. '1989' 6. 'Taylor Swift' 5. 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT' this entire ranking 1
JasonGosling Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Just listened to the whole podcast. I think his companion on the show might have better taste and judgement on the music (though he rated 1989 so low). 1
Mocha Posted July 18 Posted July 18 idk about worst but it's definitely the most boring and least replay value
Ayanaa Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Wrong. Its self titled and after that TTPD. Evermore is her third or fourth best album 1
John Slayne Posted July 18 Posted July 18 everbore is definitely a weak album, but the list is a mess. all of those turds above folklore? be serious.
Kimi Posted July 18 Posted July 18 those are the critics yall worship religiously? who's scores are like biblical revelations? hilarious actually.
kellysclarkson Posted July 18 Posted July 18 Any ranking will be slightly controversial but this one specifically is absolutely mad, folklore that low, TTPD that high and debut somehow in the middle? 1
Kill Me Posted July 18 Posted July 18 (edited) 57 minutes ago, Kimi said: those are the critics yall worship religiously? who's scores are like biblical revelations? hilarious actually. It is the same critic who proudly claimed he struggles to listen to albums since they are obsolete and TikTok soundbites and TTH playlists are all you need to find music. The original video is behind a paywall but here is him discussing it. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/01/arts/music/best-albums-tiktok.html Gilbert asks: Yeah, I heard you say something similar on a recent episode of Popcast where you talked about how you "struggled this year to listen to albums" and wondered about the "utility of the album." Do you think that's a function of quarantine, or is it just an extension of the playlist-ification of music? Honestly, almost every new song I discovered this year I discovered through some Spotify playlist. (No free ads.) Jon answers: As awful as it sounds, an album is simply a data dump now. That doesn't mean that some artists won't continue to aim to be auteurs of the form — say, Taylor Swift or Adele — but the minute albums hit streaming services, they are sliced and diced and the songs are relegated to playlist slots, and everything after that is a crap shoot. The truth is that albums worked as a medium only because everyone was a captive. When you look back at your favorite older albums now, I'm sure you see the weak spots that you'd happily have programmed out if you had the technology then. Now you do. I wouldn't be surprised if the next generation of pop stars finds ways to never release an "album" again — they'll just drip music out, one automated-brain-chip-download at a time.

Solgayleo Posted July 18 Posted July 18 lol I knew this would be Caramanica before even opening the thread. Huge fan of Popcast and his dislike of Evermore comes up quite often lol. His takes are always interesting, even if I don't always agree with them 1
Raphy23 Posted July 18 Posted July 18 I can't agree when the worst 2 are top 2. Plus Evermore is Red's little sister which is my fave album. 1
