Taylor talking about no body, no crime!

I love them :cheeseblock:

Really liking all of this. It's not quite at folklore levels yet for me I don't think, but that's pretty impossible – it's definitely my favourite of the year.

I like this isn't just folklore pt. ii though, which it easily could've been. Love the more varied styles and production. That closure production!

 

Having said that though, my two immediate favourites are willow and ivy, two of the most folklore songs on the album probably ha.

willow is so, so gorgeous, already shaping up to be one of my favourite Taylor songs. I just want to listen to it on repeat :heart:

yep I'm obsessed now ahaha!!

 

willow, champagne problems, gold rush, no body no crime, Coney Island, long story short, marjorie are my standouts rn!

Okay so the ones I’m finding myself playing on repeat:

Willow - obsessed

Champagne problems

Dorothea

Long story short

Marjorie

Mostly willow though :funky: :lol:

So after initially being really disappointed, now I listen again I’m finding more things that I like. Willow was absolutely the best choice for lead single, I love that and the video. No Body, No Crime!!! The Carrie Underwood fan in me is happy lol. Champagne Problems made me cry lol. Marjorie!

 

However... this album is way too long. It could definitely do with some trimming - Long Story Short, Cowboy Like Me, Closure, Evermore (Exile really didn’t need a sequel sadly!), Ivy, Coney Island, Happiness, Tolerate It, ‘Tis the Damn Season - I only really dislike the first 3 of those but they are way too similar to be on the same album. The second half really drags and some of them are just a chore to get through. It’s annoying because this really could’ve been a great 10 or 11 track project.

I wonder what the 3 chart eligible tracks will end up being?!

 

willow obviously. I think champagne problems should pretty much be locked as number 2. I feel like we have a battle for 3 between gold rush & HAIM, maybe a couple of other random ones could sneak up to, evermore is doing rly well on deadtunes & they all seem close enough together on Apple Music atm!

Hello Taylor Swift fans, I’d like your advice, which album should I listen to first, Folklore or Evermore? ^_^

Folklore!

Hello Taylor Swift fans, I’d like your advice, which album should I listen to first, Folklore or Evermore? ^_^

folklore for sure! It really sets up the mood for evermore I feel and ofc it was first released as well! (and even tho both slay, it's also the better one)

Ok that’s what I’ll do then! Thanks Sam, and you definitely deserve a nomination for best dedicated stan, I hope you win! :cheer:

after a few more listens I'm really loving this, my ranking is starting to set around this:

 

the faves:

1. Champagne Problems - I think this might remain untouchable, its so f***ing gorgeous

2. No body, no crime (ft. HAIM) - what a country bop, love love, lyrically so good

3. marjorie - this is stunning, love

4. coney island (ft. The National) - this is hitting more & more, the exile of the album for me

5. gold rush - I love the production & the chorus is top 3 on the album

6. willow - loving this so much and keep going back to it, perfect choice for lead single

7. long story short - I love that we got a bop and it slays

 

the becoming close to faves category:

8. happiness - it's the Gatsby lyrics, this probs should've been track 5

9. dorothea - I love the production & it really stands out

 

the 9/10's:

10. evermore (ft. Bon Iver) - this feels like daylight where I stan but it's not my absolute fave but works perfectly as a closer

11. tis' the damn season - dropped a bit from my first few listens, it's blending with tolerate it a bit for me

12. ivy - invisible string pt. 2, I like

 

the hopefully 9/10's soon:

13. tolerate it - it's good but really blending in with a couple of tracks rn

14. cowboy like me - again I really liked this but the last couple of listens I've not loved oops

15. closure - it's interesting, but not a massive fan

Ok that’s what I’ll do then! Thanks Sam, and you definitely deserve a nomination for best dedicated stan, I hope you win! :cheer:

Thank you :heart: :wub: I've def had so many chances to stan this year between folklore, evermore, the end of the lover era, miss Americana, folklore: the long pond sessions & so much more!! 2020 has been a perfect year to be a Swiftie :wub:

Listened to this a few times now and with each listen every song is starting to become more identifiable to me. It's another fantastic effort. I hate that she hasn't given multiple variations of this though. </3 Not sure I like the cover lmao. Ah well.

 

Now I'm at home and able to process it properly, here's my ranking:

 

epiphany

exile (feat. Bon Iver)

betty

01. no body, no crime (feat. HAIM)

02. gold rush

this is me trying

my tears ricochet

03. marjorie

04. champagne problems

05. long story short

cardigan

06. tolerate it

07. 'tis the damn season

Mirrorball

08. willow

mad woman

the last great american dynasty

09. coney island (feat. The National)

10. dorothea

11. ivy

august

invisible string

the 1

12. closure > The production is a MESS. But it kinda works!? <

the lakes

illicit affairs

13. evermore (feat. Bon Iver)

hoax

peace

14. happiness

15. cowboy like me

 

The bottom 3 of 'evermore' I could probably do without, but the experience isn't really changed by having them on the album.

Hello Taylor Swift fans, I’d like your advice, which album should I listen to first, Folklore or Evermore? ^_^

I missed this earlier, I was eating. I say folklore to listen to first as well.

I think I honestly prefer no body, no crime to anything on folklore even, it almost sounds like a karaoke country classic. To be a proper big hit though I think the vocals would have to get a bit more powerful and dramatic in the final minute/choruses (I could even imagine some big ad libs working at the end), but I get that that’s not what they were going for with this song.

I'm going to be controversial and say closure is one of my favourites! Along with no body no crime, long story short and marjorie :wub:

Willow 3, whole album top 50 on spotify!!
