DLT 7,592 Posted October 21, 2022 Iβm having my 1st listen and it isnβt as bad as I anticipated. While the Lana feature was disappointing when it came to Lana the album itself is a pleasant surprise. Iβm low key enjoying it. I agree the aesthetic doesnβt necessarily match but itβs a nice little pop refresher. I really donβt dislike any song so far. Β Iβve made it through Vigilante as of now.Β 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bluechemtrails 26,512 Posted October 21, 2022 Does Lana have any other unknown singing parts besides SOTB? Because I hear her voice in many songs. The album is completely different from what I expected. I thought it would be more tranquil, slower songs like SOTB. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoftwareUpgrade 19,348 Posted October 21, 2022 My first impressions of the standard album: Β One word:Β snooze Β Swifts album was anythingΒ butΒ a swift listen π₯Β ba dum tsh. I am writing this tired and before I go to bed, so excuse my lengthy musings below (this may be uncomprehensible when I awake): Β Too much money and success to give the public something like thisΒ . Oddly enough, the track I enjoyed the most was the one my friend liked the least: You're on your own, Kid. Β I am probably not the target audience for this record. Verse chorus verse, over and over with a straightforward vocal delivery. Jack should've pushed her to give us some more energy.Β Β Repetitive lyrics. Its like taking the veil off of a pop song and seeing that it's simplistic and underserving of the hype, the production couldn't mask it.Β Β It's as if Swift had a chance to build (the literal) bridges up, but she wouldn't follow through with theΒ needed emotion. Was this rushed? Where was Max Martin. The themes of some of these songs remind me of Lover or Reputation. Are they writers demos that should've been sent to a competent pop producer?Β Β Swifts' tracks come off as unrelatable due to me/the listener needing to know which boyfriend/lover/romp she is referring to.Β Those songs are definitely for her Swifties who can piece together the puzzle. Spoiler Or is it that these events in the tracks are fictional π€? Β Tracks I could give another chance/listen to: Labyrinth, Midnight Rain, and Anti-Hero. (Let's throw in Lavender Haze since I forgot about it, but I know that I wasn't offended). Β (Also, Lana's backing vocals were the best surprise of the record, the only time I smiled while listening, and I enjoyed the layered vocals of SOTB and the usage of them on the other tracks) Β Good thing this was titled "Midnights", as it truly is MID and will lead to a new day, where I can pretend I didn't hear it πͺΒ 1 Quote I'm Poppy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DLT 7,592 Posted October 21, 2022 No shade butΒ WCS already so overrated. Β The Great War, Bigger Than The Whole Sky, and Dear Reader top 3 for 3am tracks.Β Β I really like the standard edition though. Itβs a lot better than I expected. Iβd say it lost a little oomph after Vigilante but still a solid release. Β Β Iβll need more time to pick faves but initial standouts Lavender, Maroon, Anti, and Midnight.Β Β All the tracks are cute in their own way though.

111 36,612 Posted October 21, 2022 reputa and lover were definitely too much to turn casual listeners into stans, the bulk of those albums were made for people who were already into her very much so, folklore and evermore definitely fixed her brand and standing with the GP gaining her a lot of respect but again they were too much to chew on for people who enjoyed some songs from her but thought she was trying too hard and doing too much, they were really heavy and narrative based albums... ofc all of these mentioned albums gained fans but MIDNIGHTS finds the perfect ground for being easily digestible for everyone while also making sure it's not a cringey fan servicey mess to turn off people who's checking it out, she has found the perfect balance for that! making it so appealing to everyone from the casual listening gaise and girlies to the GP and even the critics who can't help but to ACCLAIM this masterpiece and of course the swiffers. it's a record that could be listened across generations, across genders and sexual orientations, across casual listeners and pretentious music snobs... 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 48,876 Posted October 21, 2022 IβM SO FUCKING GLAD I DIDNT LISTEN TO LEAKS! In hq / Dolby Atmos, itβs honestly surprisingly wow. The synths are what dreams and nightmares made of.Β I Β am not even through my first listen and really enjoy it (of all of her pop albums, 1989 is the one I love the best, so I guess itβs not that surprisingly I love Midnights). didnβt think it would be pure pop based on the covers and the theme, but the theme comes through beautifully.Β Β 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 48,876 Posted October 21, 2022 I Love that we do get songs where Taylor reflects on herself, where she is the one to blameβ¦ We already (finally?) got glimpses of that on folklore and mostly on evermore, and Iβm glad she continues with that POV.Β 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
