I somehow managed to get the record store day note which may be common in Australia but literally no record stores got them except for one in Brisbane that I know of. I feel so very special it will be framed

[Terrence Loves Me 72,692]

This is a great album. Down Bad and Guilty as Sin are my favourites so far. I absolutely love that western sound in guilty, and down bad is just so melancholy and gentle.

 

There's a lot of highlights for me, i'm still on my second listen but might drop a ranking later today if i have the time. <3

[palemoonbaby 15,103]

damn, this album is hitting so much

when i woke up i had in my head playing all songs from standard editions.

bitch, sorry i doubted in you and thought that TTPD is boring and uninspiring. you are the mastermind.

I loved the music video for Fortnight! Absolutely beautiful, Taylor's and Post Malone's chemistry was crazy good! I also loved the cameos of the Dead Poets Society actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles! 🩶

'The Tortured Poets Department' Is So Lana Del Rey-Coded That It's Frustrating

[Genesee 6,335]

i really dislike the title track but it's been stuck in my head all morning 

[Terrence Loves Me 72,692]

Okay here's my ranking/review after a few listens + some extra thoughts

 

Top Tier

1. Down Bad 9/10  (I love this track so much, it's a perfect melancholy mid tempo pop song. Kinda reminds me of an unreleased Charli song, definitely my type of sound)

2. Guilty as Sin? 9/10 (This one had me gagged! I love the western style and melody, it reminds me of something from her RED era. The taylor i know and love<3)

3. The Tortured Poets Department 8/10 (Instant classic for me, i love the synths and the backing vocals. It sounds so elegant and mature. Beautiful)

4. But Daddy, I Love Him 8/10 (A classic Taylor track, i love that it's 5 minutes as well. It has a great outro and is just overall a great song)

5. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? 7/10 (Her screaming the line was a great touch, i enjoyed this one!)

6. Fresh Out The Slammer 7/10 (That subtle guitar in the background is haunting, i love the melody because it's very Lana. This was an interesting fresh new sound for Taylor)

Mid Tier

7. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart 7/10 (I love this song, it's fun, goofy and cheesy)

8. Fortnight 7/10 (Probably the most Midnight-esque track on the album, it starts off slow but picks up toward the end. It's not a great intro but a nice song overall)

9. So Long, London 7/10 (I need more time with this one but i think i'll grow to love it, its pretty and has a lot of potential)

10. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 7/10 (Starts off boring but gets better towards the end, i liked the lyrics on this one)

11. The Alchemy 7/10 (Good song but kinda sounds like a lesser version of Guilty as Sin)

Bottom Tier

12. My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys 7/10 (A bit basic, but still enjoyable)

13. loml 6/10 (I need more time with this one, but it didn't stand out to me. I do like the piano though)

14. Clara Bow 6/10 (probably the most "mehh" song on the album, it's alright i guess)

15. Florida!!! 5/10 (I just don't like this song at all)

16. I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) 5/10 (boring)

I think TTPD is so unique and beyond anything anyone could make. Sadly even Lana, jack obviously has favourites.
