X8vinylScratchX 3,602 Posted April 19 16 minutes ago, Dominikx4 said: calling a 31 track album with not-short songs a cash grab is such a weird take... in today's age and time where tiktok and reels has shortened our attention span to 2 seconds, a 2 hour album with an average track time of 4 minutes is certainly not the way to go This is a good point, but it ultimately depends on the quality of the tracks. Having a long ass album with lots of tracks will increase stream time, and therefore profits. It’s what Drake did with Scorpio, and that album is a steaming pile of horse shit. I’d be hesitant to call this album a cash grab tho. It seems many people enjoy the many tracks. If the 31 tracks were shitty half baked snoozers then it would look like a cash grab 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

violettiaras 3,419 Posted April 19 Sorry I’m sure it’s been discussed already here but I keep seeing people say it’s Lana coded, she copied Lana, etc. The songs I heard don’t remind me of any Lana work at all. Honestly I’m hearing that from mainly from non Lana stans (the same groups who said the title seems like Lana even though it really doesn’t), so I lowkey doubt it, but…. Do you guys think any songs are reminiscent of Lana songs? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reflecting 872 Posted April 19 7 hours ago, Speed Driving Coconuts said: I think she needs something that will thoroughly disturb her comfortability in the industry. Some of her best works came from a sort of challenge (Red to 1989 being her first attempts to do a strong country to pop crossover era, Reputation being a product of her downfall + her Katy Perry feud, and Folklore/Evermore being a product of the pandemic). Whenever she's comfortable, she starts producing mediocrity such as this one. The marketing is great and I'm sure her visuals will be top notch...but the album itself sucks. Her lyricism here is some of the weakest yet (with the Charlie Puth line being her absolute career worst) and the entire album just sounds so one-note, but in a bad way. The latter issue is a Jack Antonoff issue, but Taylor still gets a bit of blame from me for that since she has some sort of control what she produces with that man. I'm hoping she considers a genre-shift for the next album. She's getting way too comfortable and I think a challenge will only do her good. couldn't agree more. to quote a tweet i saw: if the critics had been honest about midnights we wouldnt be in this situation rn. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I personally think that many songs are a bit of a filler to be honest but I do love 16 tracks out of the 31 she released. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They said they want to hear Lana do a cover of that song. I haven't listened to her new album yet, so I have no opinion. That said, TayTay probably does take inspiration from Lana on some level. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you guys think any songs are reminiscent of Lana songs? I don’t think the songs themselves are reminiscent of Lana songs at all. I think it’s extremely obvious that in certain places she’s borrowing stylistically from Lana but it really doesn’t end up having the same effect that same device would have in a Lana song. They’re just completely different personalities and their writing styles are too distinct for it to work that way imo. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mssainttropez 14,187 Posted April 19 For everyone calling this album a cash grab, just a reminder that Taylor has 100+ 1989 vault tracks alone and if she wanted to release them all simply for money she would. I truly believe she’s only putting our work that she thinks is good and important. 5 Quote ⊹˚⋆ 𝒃𝒂𝒃𝒚𝒅𝒐𝒍𝒍 𝒅𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 ‧₊° Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
