The Archer could easily be an 11 as well, this whole album is just incredible. Reputation was great, this is insanely good, I probably actually love it as much as 1989!

'Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince' an easy highlight out of the album tracks on first listen, was not surprised at all to see that was a Joel Little production (and the same with 'The Man') as those two songs have definite 'Pure Heroine' vibes to them. I found 'The Man' lowkey a little annoying on first listen the other week though oops but it has grown on me. (And Joel Little's other contributions to this album are... not as good x). 'False God' also making a v good first impression on me and 'Cruel Summer' working its way up my affections. I really liked the instrumentals of 'Death By A Thousand Cuts' and 'It's Nice To Have A Friend', the latter is way too short though! Ended just as I was getting really into it. Issa pretty decent album overall, it's no '1989' but a good number of highlights to take away ('Lover' is really becoming one of my all time fave songs from her, it tugs at my heartstrings in the same way as Ed Sheeran's best schmaltzy love songs which I have a weakness for xx)

Shook that I share both my favourite single and my favourite album track with Joseph of all people.

Such a good album! Oop at the lead single being my least fave! 6 is a more generous score than I would have given it a few weeks ago.

I didn't really know where to throw my 11, but in the end I decided to give it to the song I feel is the most underrated: False God

Tried not to be too loony about the album! Lover/Cruel Summer/The Man are such a strong trio You Need To Calm Down has really grown on me since the album release after being a bit eh about it at first. London Boy is also another that the lyrics make it stand out, but the song is not intended to be taken too seriously so the lyrics match the dreamy fun sound.

I think the album wouldn't be much different without Afterglow, Death by a Thousand Cuts or False God. Although I need to listen to the latter and Soon You'll Get Better a bit more.

The one song I'm just not seeing feeling of is The Archer. It completely drifts by until the final third and then we have the Humpty Dumpty line which is much worse than any of the other lyrics on the album she's being criticised for. I get what it's trying to do but it's just never left much impression on me!

London Boy and You Need To Calm Down are my skips and without those it’s a strong strong album!

Amongst my favourites of the year and possibly her best after 1989. It’s a more natural follow up and a more natural album from her tbh. Reputation felt like she was trying to prove a point at times where as she feels and looks more natural and comfortable in this era.
