I read that review before and I must say this is the most consistent album Taylor has ever put out. The more I listen, the more I feel there are actually some stand outs.

 

I now get why fortnight was chosen as the chosen as the lead.

 

Also, does anyone really enjoy 'Ths Prophecy'? That's absolutely my favourite at the moment.

I haven't had my wow moment with the prophecy yet but for sure it will come!

 

I can also understand why fortnight was chosen. Also, how poetic 14 songs made the top 14 in the US lol

I had my wow moment with The Black Dog today after not thinking much of it at first!

 

I loved the album on first listen but even more now as it is definitely a grower :heart: Every day I feel I have a new favourite

Week on and Fortnight has clicked and is one of my favourites. Still only spending time with the first half and can solidly say its my favourite Taylor album and my favourite album this year. The more you listen the more personality each song has and is easier to see how different they all are.

I completely agree. They are all so different which I really wouldn't have thought on first listen!

I wasn't sure on this album originally but it's grown SO much! Hard to pick my favorites as they keep changing but my most played 2 weeks in are:

 

1. The Black Dog - my favorite on first listen and to this day!!

2. Down Bad - really catchy!

3. How Did It End? - love the line about calling up their cousin

4. My Boy On Breaks His Favorite Toys - a recent favorite

5. So Long, London - hearthbreaking :cry:

6. I Look In Peoples Windows - I really enjoy the lyrics here

7. Florida!!! - one of my favorites origionally but has faded unfortunately, interesting but topic doesn't really click with me

8. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived - the BRIDGE :heart:

9. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me - takes you on a journey!

10. Chloe or Sam or Sophie or Marcus - listened to this a lot after How Did It End, really nice lyrics

 

Will update down the line! Excited to see others! :)

Another limited edition album.

If it was the 2nd half of the album with that bonus track, I'd absolutely get it. But unfortunately, I'm more than happy with my Deluxe CD's I have already.

 

EDIT: Although serious question... I wonder if we get the 2nd half of the album physically at any point? Like during the ERAs tour? Like how she did for 'Midnights'?

*drops everything to order* I just read about the new variant!

I really hope we get the 2nd part on CD soon - that I would be on board with !

Curious as to see how this has gone over time with you guys. The first half is do much stronger to me and I know most preferred the second half at the start, is that still an opinion held?

The first half is definitely my favourite too! But the 2nd half is a bit more Folklore/Evermore and the latter is bottom 3 Taylor for me (but I do enjoy listening to folklore - but it’s not a go to and I find both albums to be very overrated by people

 

The Black Dog, imgonnagetyouback, So High School, thanK you aIMee, Peter, The Bolter and Robin are my faves and the ones I go back to the most from the second half. But I’m really loving majority of the first half. I can take or leave ‘Down Bad’, ‘Guilty as Sin’, ‘Fresh Out the Slammer’ and ‘I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)’. But everything else gets multiple plays from me on the regular. I am particularly infatuated with ‘Fortnight’ atm.

I like both halves, the first half more.

I do love both halves , my absolute faves are on the first half ICDIWABH and WAOLOM though ,

There's a new digital drop of three albums + a first draft phone memo track on each one. I will be skipping those, although I would like to hear the drafts. If those were physical copies, I wouldn't be skipping!

There was another merch drop just a while ago.

I haven't seen it in the UK, I looked on amazon music.

It’s on her web store only

^ I looked on her shop first but isn't there.
