I would like to formally announce that some individual songs from this are CLICKING. Namely marjorie and 'tis the damn season. Thank you for hearing me.
Same. This is definitely "folklore"'s awkward older sister. Bits of songs keep running through my head out of nowhere and it takes me a moment to realise where they're from. This'll be the fan favourite in years to come while "folklore" will continue to rake in the plaudits as the reinvention that gave her longevity.
Agreed. "it's time to go" is kind of just there for now. I do like how it gets a bit twangy near the end but a bit beige overall

I think All Too Well is still her peak honestly, in terms of songwriting (not just lyrically but melodically too). I don't know, I feel it's comparing apples and oranges. But that is such an incredibly mature song from a 22 year old artist. I'm really hoping for a re-recorded version of it with her latter day vocals in 2021.

There is no way I'm choosing between "this is me trying" and "coney island". Actually the best track on each record.
It sounds like the missing track from The National's best album. Whatever you happen to think The National's best album is.
It must be the streams. Its what Katy Perry is doing as well, and probably others. Finally, a month later, evermore has grown on me. I still prefer Folklore but I've been getting much more into evermore. Gold Rush is my favorite
babe where have you been? she did several of them for folklore and now some for evermore. loads of artists are it, the labels must think it drives streams up.
Popped this on last night."gold rush" clicked properly for the first time. I still have to listen to "coney island" and "cowboy like me" more than once before I can move on.
i love how dramatic the titles are the "dropped your hand while dancing" chapter i cant wait for the "darling, what you did was just as dark" chapter
I was ridin' in a getaway car I was crying in a getaway car I was DYING in a getaway car said GOODBYE IN! A GETAWAY... car that is all.
Ugh I think I'm going through another TayTay phase. I might rewatch the Reputation Tour - it's still on Netflix after all. Sync watch idea?
it's really quite ridiculous that her back cat is so great that songs like Getaway Car and Cruel Summer never even got a release.
