Blank Space, and...? 1989 shines for many things (melodies, production, cohesiveness, visuals), but lyricism is not one of them. It's not bad my any means, don't get me wrong, but not that strong (compared to her discography of course).

That would be a lot of compiling, showing the individual results of 100+ users for 260 songs. A bit tedious. But for anyone who left comments, I'll reveal what score each commenter gave alongside their comment. For example, if I gave The Man a 2 and left a comment on it, I'll show: The Man: @Dear Reader 10 - Best song in her discography. @Forever Winter: 2 - Horrible song. If compiling all individual scores proves to be tedious... instead, at the end of the rate, I can share the Google Sheet for everyone to see what each user gave each song Should I be messy like that? If I remember correctly, miss @1989 revealed who gave 0s and 1s as haters of the song, 11s and 10s as fans. For example: @Forever Winter is a fan of ME! (11) @Dear Reader is a hater of ME! (0) 4

I don't think having each score of each member for each song during the rate would be a good idea, either for you or for us. That said, I remember during the previous rate that the 0s, 1s, 10s and 11s were revealed, and I wonder how tedious it would be to replicate that? Just to know who to praise and who to put in the ignore list drag. 2

It's not bad my any means, don't get me wrong, but not that strong (compared to her discography of course). I was only talking about the Vault, sis. All 5 of those songs have such fantastic pop lyrics, at least to me. Of course they don't stack up against Folklore and Evermore in the lyricism department, but they're perfect for pop songs, and all 5 are better than some songs that made the original album (everyone is looking at you, Bad Blood). 2

If I can't do that, at the very least, I'm definitely gonna reveal the 11s, 10s, 1s, and 0s like @1989 did last rate. 4 1

Miles. Posted August 29 Posted August 29 The real problem with 1989's vault is that 1989 is a perfect pop album, so we were all looking forward to 6+ more perfect pop songs, and instead we got........ 5 MIDnights rejects Those tracks may as well be labeled [Taylor's Version] [From Midnights' Vault] And by that time we were all sick of the Midnights sound. Now, if she'd given us 5 more Maroons, I wouldn't be complaining... 2

I want the rate to be as fun as possible so any suggestions are welcome To be messy, I was thinking of teasing some song reveals with some user comments. I'll use one of @1989's comments as an example: Quote For the next song, one of our participants commented... "Boring. Not to mention, she's done this theme better before." 4
