yep I'm gonna listen to this again now and try and sleep so I'll see y'all later for more reactions & about a billion updates!!

 

I am so shattered!! night <3 <3

(cue me being back in 20 mins x)

On first listen I’m a bit disappointed honestly... it’s beautiful lyrically but the melodies are a bit weak and the songs... seem longer than they actually are. She just set the bar so high with folklore that it was impossible to live up to

also is gold rush the only sole Jack produced song?! :o

Just finished watching the willow video. I love the song and the video.

If wikipedia is accurate, yes.

This def hasn't hit me as instantly as 'folklore' did. Not that I particularly dislike or hate any of it, I just need more listens to differentiate my faves and least faves as well as to become more familiar with the tracks.

 

'gold rush', 'tolerate it', 'no body, no crime', 'long story short' & 'marjorie' are my initial faves. None of which are anywhere near my faves from 'folklore' tho!

 

Nice, but I'm gonna need to get used to this some more.

i guess i'll have to finally listen to folklore in full since this is out

 

the bon iver collab is the first and only thing I've listened to so far and it's fab 😭

I think I'm going to need more time to unpack this whole record properly but on first listen 'gold rush' is my firm favourite :wub:

Oh my god. Closure is amazing. Why is it so low here! :lol:

 

Gold rush in fantastic and Willow is a great first single choice.

 

Holy moly the album is amazing :heart:

Willow, Champagne Problems, Morjorie, Gold Rush & Cloure are my faves.

i really like how this album is much less pop than 'folklore'... deffo really leaning into that adult contemporary sound.

 

just not sure why all these artists love the term 'champagne problems'???

Oh my god. Closure is amazing. Why is it so low here! :lol:

Something had to be last, I like all of them!

This isn’t as instant for me as folklore but it’s still SO GOOD.

Taylor has really upped the bar and cemented herself as an ARTIST. 2020 has been a great year for her music

 

Highlights:

willow

champagne problems

gold rush

tolerate it

no body, no shame

long story short

Another beautiful, high quality album.

 

Love no body, no crime, great melody, could almost be an early 00s country crossover single.

 

A lot of songs are very subtle, and bound to be growers, but I love willow, champagne problems and gold rush on first listen. Also really liking closure, quite a switch up in production on that one.

Another very good album. Taylor will be cracking my top 5 music artists ever soon if she keeps this up.

Just starting my first listen.... Willow seems lovely, perfect for Winter

Champagne Problems is nice enough but I didn't find it overly memorable on first listen... Gold Rush is lovely though, the production especially... the highlight so far
