Taylor swift

[jparx]

I managed to have a listen with it cranked up in the car driving home, lucky to have good quality speakers in there, and yeah I’m really in to it. Excellent record. Not at all what i expected but it’s a doozy. Up to the very high standard she’s set herself and that’s all you can ask really.

As a 42 year old Swiftie I'm loving it! I really hope she is on the lineup next year

Some cracking lyrics on this
 

“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem it’s me”

“Fucking politics and gender roles and your not sure and I don’t know”

“Lately I’ve been dressing for revenge” 

“When I meet the band they ask do you have a man? “

“I thought the plane was going down, had you turn it right around”

“Karma is my boyfriend. Karma is a god. Karma is the breeze in my hair on the weekend. Karma is a relaxing thought, but for you it’s not.”

“I wrote a poem. You say what a mind!”

“No one wanted to play with me as a little kid. So I have been scheming like a criminal ever since.”

are these good though? these are borderline cringe to me

Just finished my 3rd full listen

Starts well - but dare I say it - a bit dull?

it’s good, but not her best by any stretch

Where are the bangers, the big hooks?  

Fantastic production - same as the new 1975 one - Antonoff strikes again on that aspect.
 

Favourites - Anti-Hero, Maroon, Bejeweled

At the moment I’m giving it 6.5 / 10

It’s basically Rep / 1989 lite - but not as good as either.

interesting to see how it fares after more listens

Looks like a screenshot from my notes page

5 star rave from Alexis Petridis.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Chaotic surprise is that it's a visual album. No tour dates today I'd expect 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Anti-Hero is the banger on first listen. Last 60 seconds of it especially. We love a chaotic will reading. 

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Lana collab and Karma are the only real stinkers. 7/10 overall but I’m sure it’ll grow on me, her albums always do. 

[ls2408]

Glowing reviews in the press, 5 stars from the guardian and the independent 

[WestCountryGirl]

I'm halfway in to my first listen and I am loving it. Maroon my favourite so far I think but genuinely can't wait to listen to all of these again.

SotB a bit of a let-down, but I kind of went in knowing it would never live up to my dreams for the Taylana Collab anyway so 🤷🏻

[Hotchilidog]

Two listens in and I think it’s great. Some of these songs are going to be awesome live. For me Labyrinth is the sleeper hit, the crowd are going to take that one over. I‘ve got the goosebumps on pre-order.

Karma is one of the standouts for me!

[MK1]

Someone already find some tourdates????

[chazwwe]

The triplets on Anti-Hero are great. I can see the Reputation but more laid back. I'm only up to midnight rain but lyrically its not my favourite, but the vibes are there. 

[kalifire]

Enjoying what I've heard so far, a few tracks in. Elements of Reputation, 1989 and Lover in there.

Wouldn't say it's anywhere near AOTY but it's solid enough. I didn't want 'bangers'.

You're kidding me, right? 😄

Leonard Cohen is shitting his pants. 🤣🤣

Gotta agree that some of the lyrics are cringe. Some of the beats are great but some of the songs are very much skippable, vigilante shit is one I'm just not a fan of. Concerned about her putting 8-9 songs off the album on the tour setlist as I'll probably tune out unless the album becomes a grower. 

[jparx]

lol she’s basically just released a vault EP as well.
