bluechemtrails 26,512 Posted October 21, 2022 currently has one of the lowest user ratings on albumoftheyear.org from her albums, even behind Lover https://www.albumoftheyear.org/artist/323-taylor-swift/ I trust that more than bought reviews in major magazines. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yayoop 4,596 Posted October 21, 2022 I love it tbh, I’m here for the production, the bizarre structures, some kitsch lyrics but my damn TSwizzle does it for me. Just had an album listen through with my friend and I’m here for it. All of Midnights and half of the 3am songs, and the HitsDifferently bonus track is a bop. she does it again 5 Quote " /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeminiLanaFan 48,878 Posted October 21, 2022 Love or hate Taylor (and everything in between), but you got to give it to her that she gave a lot to her fans with this release (and in general). 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lanasbottom 23,694 Posted October 21, 2022 Cute album, i expected folklore 3.0 but 20 songs ? when half of them sound the same? lord production’s okay but sounds inexpensive and kinda cheap ish at times. Most of the lyrics are… corny and not far from the Hey kids spelling is fun abyss. It’s your typical Taylor record, it’s fine, cliché pop, not enveloppe pushing nor something you never heard of her. The paid for critic reviews and 95 metacritic score is definitely sending tho i’ll give her that 6/10 BUT i’ll give credit where it’s due, taking the best parts of Beyoncé’s promo (lol) tactics, refining them and doing them better than her? She has the mind of a (evil) mastermind!!! Serving album + act II + a visual album + confirmed upcoming tour all in one week when Blue Ivy’s client hasn’t even given a tenth of that since her album came out months ago? bravo Taylor bravo 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Furor Poeticus 16,247 Posted October 21, 2022 I’m about to listen to it so please tell me if it has many highlights, if there’s a lot of fillers and if it was worth the wait at all. 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s all personal opinion bebe just listen and see how you feel about it But so I’m not annoying and actually respond to you i will say i think there’s a good bunch of bops and the 3am tracks are predominantly fillers, some tunes are unexpected 3 Quote " /> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"i want to like it so bad but i can't"... yeah i'd rather read paid reviews 9 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
#vapeinfluencer 4,747 Posted October 21, 2022 tbh midnights is actually so good and i can see taylor exploring new sounds and im here for it, i dont understand all of the hate thats coming by with this premiere 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furor Poeticus 16,247 Posted October 21, 2022 SOTB is actually really nice but yeah, Lana’s presence limited only to backing vocals is very disappointing. Like for real, the only time I’ve heard her clearly was half a second in the line: Are we falling like snow at the beach? In the final chorus 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Veinsineon 76,245 Posted October 21, 2022 I can’t believe I tried listening to 20 new Taylor swift songs and only liked like 6 of them 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xlanax 1,425 Posted October 21, 2022 Please radiate Jack Antonoff from the music industry. It all sounds like Reputation/Lover trying to be Melodrama but that sound is old af . 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rachel97 1,525 Posted October 21, 2022 Just listened to the 3am edition, and while I still have some of the same problems as on my first listen (mainly some of the clunky lyrics), some of the songs have grown on me more (Anti-Hero, Karma and Mastermind). I definitely prefer the bonus tracks (especially Would've, Could've, Should've) over half of the main album though but even Solar Power grew on me eventually so I'm sure this album will too 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
