Yay! Thank you for this.

Yay! Thank you for this.

it's 13k lmao

I really urge all of you to reconsider coming to this thread and shitting on ppl who genuinely want to share excitement over one of their faves new album 

A 98 on  Metacritic right now....you can't be serious lol

I’m sorry but this getting anything better than a just meh review has me legitimately wondering if her team paid off critics. Because it’s not possible that anyone with working ears, let alone a music critic can listen to this and give it a 4/5, or even 5/5  honestly, if anything, makes me care less about what critics think because clearly they have a secondary agenda 

girl, wtf even is midnight rain  
 
WHY ARE THERE WHALES MAKING SOUNDS IN THE BACKGROUND??? 

Yeah either this or she does a double album so that the streams still count towards Midnights. She also wouldn’t miss out on one of her albums debuting at #1. 

.

I disagree that Meningitis is a cohesive album. There are moments of sonic whiplash where you go from the sweet & sad cottage-core of Folklore to the aggressive production of Reputation (specially in Vigilante Shit and Karma) to the bombastic nostalgia of Lover/Melodrama. The whole thing is basically an amalgamation of past sonorities and approaches that are awkwardly disjointed but glued together nonetheless. It’s not adventurous nor does it need to be BUT we’ve seen her tackling these soundscapes better before, in other projects.
 
Releasing a mid collection of different styles that doesn’t even elevate the past work she’s recreating feels like a major regression for one of the biggest music stars of our time, in a year that has been so strong for music with career best work being released by Beyoncé, Rosalía, Kendrick, etc. This might very well be her creative bankruptcy moment and she would be better off taking a bit of time off to really assert the type of artist she wants to be because this flip flopping between wanting to be known as a singer songwriter AND being this dramatic, controversial, cheeky mega popstar will eventually start working against her.
 
 
Mostly background vocals. I feel like they’re slightly more discernible during the chorus and post chorus but everywhere else is a mere whisper under Taylor’s voice.

Midnights received a total perfect score from The Independent (which gave folklore 80/100)

I listened to it and while I don't hate it, I also don't love it. Outside of a few tracks, I'm just indifferent on it, and even the songs I like, like Anti-Hero have something in them that stops me fully loving the songs (in that case, the sexy baby lyrics)
 
I'll need a few more listens with it but on first listen, it's not a favourite of mine

With all due respect, Taylor wishes this album was as lyrically mature as anything on Solar Power.

How did she go from folklore to evermore to this... The album has some cute moments I like some songs but overall it's so mediocre and kinda cringey at times. Maybe it'll grow on me idk but so far I'm not really feeling it. 

The disconnect from the visuals and the music is so funny bsdjfh. The whole album description and her looking stressed tf out on the alt cover with the whole 70s aesthetic had me thinking this was gonna be some deep introspective 70s inspired album but it's just a regular pop album in the vein of Lover  the visuals don't make sense at all

I realize I never shared my design. I had fun making this!
 
 


 

Maybe I need to quit my job at the busiest time of year and design t-shirts

If Lana actually has a verse I will stop maliciously streaming Red(Not TV)

I agree it’s not likely—but this song leaked before the whole album did. Could’ve been a different source. Just playing devils advocate bc I really want a full Lana verse. 

I don’t trust anyone who tweets a video of a monkey m*sturbating and tells the world that it makes them horny. 

The whole album leaked. I doubt Lana would have had Taylor’s entire album on her laptop. 

This song is worse than I expected lmao

the way you posted this too soon  
snow on the beach + stolen computer, hard drives, camcorders 
 
she needs a break, we need a break 

Why are ppl saying it’s a demo. How would a demo get out this close to the release? These are def rips from the cds or vinyls. Cope. 

it seems like there’s a meltdown every year, isn’t there?
