Terrence Loves Me 72,853 Posted December 13, 2020 after 3 listens i just think this album isn't interesting in the slightest, it's so obviously b sides from folklore and doesn't really shine as its own entity, i mean there are 4 or 5 good songs, but the rest is boring, i miss her pop music or quirky country songs, i've never been a fan of folk music. she suits the style very well and is really good at it, but something about evermore feels like leftovers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sjatib 5,172 Posted December 13, 2020 Never been a fan of Taylor Swift (quite the opposite, truly), and Folklore wasnt exactly my cup of tea either (even if it was the first project by her that I could listen to as a whole, it came as a quite uninteresting album for me, as well). Listened yesterday to Evermore and I think it shows a growth. The songs sound richer, less basic, somehow more artistic. The structures and her voice are still so mainstream and not so inspired for my taste, but its definetly nice to see that she's developing her output towards other directions. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mintconfetti 478 Posted December 14, 2020 This is such a beautiful album. My favorite tracks are Ivy, Champagne Problems, Willow, Gold Rush, Tis the Damn Season. Tolerate It and Cowboy Like Me are so good too. Ivy is a poetic masterpiece and the bridge in Champagne Problems made me want to cry. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
necessary sacrifice 8,865 Posted December 14, 2020 Ivy makes me think of Pattie Boyd so much.... I wonder if she inspired it 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trash Magic 28,435 Posted December 14, 2020 I think both albums suffer from being bloated with a lot of superfluous tracks that are super bland Champagne Problems sounds just like Never Grow Up Dorothea is a cool kinda Bob Dylan-lite moment. It is also TOO similar to this song to be a coincidence imo "When I was younger" being exactly the same melody and wording My playlist with the best songs from each: 1. happiness 2. ivy 3. seven 4. august 5. invisible string 6. dorothea 7. no body, no crime 8. mad woman 9. my tears ricochet 10. this is me trying 11. mirrorball 12. peace these songs have me listening to Taylor a lot for the first time since Speak Now in 2011 0 Quote "It's 2011, and we should all be aware of exactly how fast technology is developing" - Lana Del Rey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Inferno Euphoria 6,494 Posted December 14, 2020 I finished listening to Evermore and while its not as good as Folklore, I still think it's a great album and I'm happy that she re-discovered her country side on this album. Marjorie, No Body No Crime, Evermore, Cowboy Like Me, Coney Island, Ivy, Champagne Problems & Gold Rush are all great. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mer 62,097 Posted December 19, 2020 Champagne Problems—Gold Rush—Tis The Damn Season is the trinity. Honestly my opinion on the songs changed soooo much from first listen to one week later. 0 Quote ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ 𓊔 I took the miracle move on drug 𓊔 ⚕️ The effects were temporary ⚕️ ⊹ (:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅[̲̅:♡:]̲̅:̲̅:̲̅:̲̅) ⊹ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inferno Euphoria 6,494 Posted December 19, 2020 According to Venice (ultrasubversive) on twitter: Spoiler Apparently she will release Folklore The Ultimate Edition: 1. Willow 2. Cardigan 3. Gold Rush 4. Exile 5. Champagne Problems 6. My Tears Ricochet 7. Tolerate It 8. Mirrorball 9. No Body, No Crime 10. This Is Me Trying 11. Evermore 12. The Lakes 13. Cowboy Like Me 14. August 15. Illicit Affairs (Bonus Track) This tracklist is so wrong for not including Seven, Betty, Mad Woman, Epiphany & Coney Island 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

domandapiano 12,112 Posted December 19, 2020 Yeah that ultimate edition is booty. Of course it has some of the better songs on it but the omission of epiphany, seven, ivy, the last great American dynasty, peace, long story short, tis the damn season, etc just why? Why isn’t the ultimate edition literally all of the tracks? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
