Anyway I've had the album on repeat the entire day (unsurprisingly) and I'm fully in love now :cheeseblock:

 

Some ramblings after more listens:

Karma/Snow On The Beach/Anti-Hero/Vigilante Shit are all 11/10 moments <3 <3 (with Would've Should've Could've & You're On Your Own, Kid right behind). Bejeweled has been the biggest grower, I can't stop going back to it (it feels like a more refined version of gorgeous). The Great War & Bigger Than The Whole Sky are my other faves of the extra 7 tracks. Nothing I dislike, though Glitch is the most forgettable out of all 20 for me. Midnight Rain/Labyrinth kinda work really well back-to-back and serve me Hard Feelings/Loveless teas.

After some intense listening today, I’ve rated each song. Honestly can’t remember giving this many #10s to one of Taylor’s albums. And I’m really trying not to be a crazy stan.

 

Lavender Haze = 9

Maroon = 10

Anti Hero = 10

Snow on the Beach = 9.5

You’re on your own kid = 10

Midnight Rain = 5

Question = 10

Vigilante Shit = 6

Bejeweled = 10

Labyrinth = 10

Karma = 10

Sweet Nothing = 10

Mastermind = 9

The Great War = 9.5

Bigger than the Whole Sky = 9

Paris = 8

High Infidelity = 10

Glitch = 7

Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve = 10

Dear Reader = 7

 

Looking at my ratings, clearly I’m less of a fan of the more sassy ones 😂

I liked the start and end of the album a lot. Lavendar Haze through to Snow On The Beach are <3, and I like Sweet Nothing and Mastermind too. It's the middle section that will need to grow on me atm. The 3am tracks are all decent, I can see why they weren't on the main album - some sound like classic Taylor as has been mentioned and others sound very different for her (Glitch).

 

Folklore and Evermore were going to be hard to improve on, but there's potential for growth in a lot of the songs on here, I'm quite happy with it.

First mixed rating from the New York Times (50) bringing the metascore down to 88

Urgh

Listening to this now. It’s alright, I feel like it needs a bit more oomph in some of the production. In all honestly, I think her production since 1989 has been pretty meh.

 

I do think this is definitely a vibe though. Very laying in the bath with a candle.

Folklore/Evermore and tbh even Lover were way better than this.

 

However, the highlights are strong! I really love Anti Hero and coupled with the video, it's a perfect lead single - and really should have got a full single treatment before the album. I'm positive it would've been a huge #1, which I still think is possible but it would've been nice to get its own spotlight!

 

Other than that, I really love Lavender Haze, Snow On The Beach, Karma and Would've Could've Should've.

Omg the Spotify & Amazon records :cheeseblock:

 

That means she’s done +150m on spotify!!! Which is utterly mental. Icr if it was folklore or red but one of them did 90m and I thought that was already insane 😂

I was in the minority who just couldn't really get into folklore and evermore, they were both too samey and beyond a handful of songs across both, the songs blended into one even with repeated listens. I think this is also quite samey in parts but the production grabs me much more so naturally I'm enjoying this, and I feel more inclined to go back to it sooner too.

 

I think the 20 track full thing is too long, but the 13 track standard was just right (and the 3AM tracks are probably great on their own but my attention span is waning as I'm nearing the end)

Lyric videos are out!

 

Ah crap I was about to go to bed :lol:

Opens up TaylorSwiftVevo immediately…

 

Edit: watched a couple. It’s interesting watching the play counts rise, seeing which ones are the most popular
