Definitely get the vibe that she’s been influenced by the likes of Lorde and Billie for this one. A few songs sound like they could’ve come straight from Pure Heroine to my ears with the minimal production, and the warbling electronics that pop up quite a bit sound like a lot of Billie’s stuff. 

Couple of listens in now and I think it’s great. It’s probably not gonna go down as one of her finer moments or a genius reinvention, but it’s a solid 8/10 I think. 

Karma was rumoured to be the single, right? ‘Cause it definitely sounds like it.

I agree it’s a strange booking. And I’ve never claimed to be 100% right about anything. i am simply passing on info that I have heard (from that same source that was right last year) that I believe to

If you’ve ever wondered why people get so wound up by you, this is the answer.  The OP was simply asking a genuine question: is this a good source.  Rather than simply say you feel it is, you deci

The art direction and artwork for this is so off base with the actual album, which as a fan is quite disappointing. She's never had a great eye for visuals or worldbuilding compared to a lot of artists but there's a really weird disconnect between what I was expecting (which the Stevie Nicks/rock rumours would have tracked with) and what's delivered here.

There's a few really good tunes but as a body of work it's far from a career best, and some of it runs a bit samey. Either way it's a good excuse for her to tour, so whatever.

Anti-Hero is the lead single.

Anti-Hero is a great track and clearly inspired by another song I’ve heard? Sort of Passion Pit sounding track…

One of the standouts for sure. Definite indietronica vibes to a few songs.

Gave it more of a listen after the first few tracks, really Melodrama inspired later on which I do actually enjoy. Prefer Lorde's voice to Taylor's though (maybe a controversial opinion lol)

Yeah seen a few reddit people say this and I think I agree. She laid out a particular vibe with all of the promo stuff that the album doesn’t really deliver on so I kind of get why some people are taken aback or disappointed by what they’re hearing.

I feel like a total wiener trying to defend this album and criticising the ‘vibes’ but I’ve fallen down the Swifty rabbit hole with this one.

I really like it tbh. I think Rep fans should feel seen.

I loved Rep but I found some of the lyrics and direction a bit cringe. So an album influenced by Rep with more mature lyrics is great.

Rep is a fine album but I think the jarring nature of the Ready for it, LWYMMD and End Game put a lot of people off and they never got past it. The tour was sensational and Taylor played most of it to delighted people in the stadia.

Agreed - they are 3 of the weaker tracks that I rarely listen to - lots of better stuff on that album.  Although they did sound fantastic live, particularly Ready for it which went off big time!

Not heard the album yet as am waiting until tomorrow but based on the tweet she put out a little while ago, I'm not so sure that the surprise is a tour announcement...

 

 

She's gonna run for PM, that was the surprise announcement.

      Live gigs - Who you've seen were they good, bad etc.

      By Gnomicide · Posted

      Proper special gig tonight. They won't mean much to most people, but The Dogs D'Amour were one of the most significant bands of my youth.   Tyla, yer main man of said band, was playing in Birkenhead tonight. Not many there, but it was going fine. Then he decided he didn't like the smoke and the flashing lights so suggested moving the gig to the beer garden. Off we all went, and it was magical. Like having your favourite musician play in your garden. I absolutely loved it.   Before:     After:
