Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department (out April 19th)

[Tisch]

I mean… these are technically lyrics

This is AI right?


.......right?

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Charlie references selling me on a Taylor Swift album for the first time in ten years.

 

[RJN]

This album is sounding very "Bejeweled" influenced, if that makes sense. but better

this is my impression so far

Of course Twitter/Reddit hate it. they hate everything at first

 

[RJN]

She was correct about Charlie Puth

 

[Pipo]

this is getting such a negative reaction.

Cool!

Jack needs to do one and LEAVE! He'd better stop gaslighting Taylor into thinking he's good and don't get me started on Aaron. Lana better take note.

OTT: Swifties better not leak LASSO in September

[KindaCool]

It's more of the same.

 

[Joseph]

 

[joanne]

im so close to listening to the leak

SOMEONE PIN ME!

 

[jivafox]

im so close to listening to the leak

SOMEONE PIN ME!

Do it

 

[Sheena]

Fortnight featuring Post Malone announced as the first single.

 

[Funky]

Could Post Malone please fuck off

Or at least stick to his white rapper country corner of the world and stay away from the gay interest artists, UGH

 

[Funky]

I have so many questions, like what has Charlie Puth got do with this and has he released any new nudes to coincide with whatever it is

Answer the second question first though

 

[Joseph]

Since Puth found that girl he’s cavorting with the semi-nudes and feet pics have all but stopped

 

[POP!]

"Guilty as Sin" is giving me "Style" vibes and I love it.

 

[Finn]

this is getting such a negative reaction.

92% and 'universal acclaim' on Meta Critic, currently.

(I expect it'll go down a bit when more reviews are added, but still)

 

[PercyPig]

It’s boring as fuck

 

[joanne]

this bitch just...

 

[Sheena]

this bitch just...

Oh you’re fucking kidding!

LOL!

Just wait for the next round of physicals

 

[Sheena]

Anyway, listened in the car on the way to the airport and on first listen it all washed over me. I’ll give it a proper listen later but so far, not that bothered.

 

[Iguana]

Three tracks in of this THIRTY-ONE TRACK ALBUM and it's just brilliant so far, I'm loving the vibe and the melodies are LUSH. Just 28 tracks to go.

 

[Iguana]

Oh, "So Long London" is so good.

 

[joanne]

So Long, London really is lovely.

i'm so happy that double-disc cover ended up being The Black Dog cover, which is my favorite.

 

[jivafox]

Definitely prefer it to Midnights on first listen. Some of it is just gorgeous.

 

[Sheena]

So all the exclusive physical bonus tracks are on this second album?

LOL! She’s taking the fucking piss. I really like her but she’s making it increasingly difficult.

 

[dUb]

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Why is she like this please?

 

[Sheena]

I saw online there was discussion about a secret RSD release. I wonder if that’s going to be this expanded version? (If it actually happens).

 

[FetchFugly]

Didn't she do this with Midnights and then never released the extra songs physically?

I'll give (some of) it a go later this morning.

 

[Sheena]

Didn't she do this with Midnights and then never released the extra songs physically?

Yeah. It wasn’t a whole fucking album’s worth, though!

 

[octophone]

Oh, of course all the physical bonus tracks are on the "second disc". Actually fuck off, I hate this. Why am I paying £15 for a plain CD with HALF THE ALBUM on it?

 

[octophone]

Remember when I said that Beyonce's streaming success was partly down to the album having 27 tracks? Oh LOOK, here comes TayTay with THIRTY ONE. I wonder why?

 

[octophone]

So all the exclusive physical bonus tracks are on this second album?

LOL! She’s taking the fucking piss. I really like her but she’s making it increasingly difficult.

Only Damon Albarn is THIS annoying.

 

[Suedehead]

I saw online there was discussion about a secret RSD release. I wonder if that’s going to be this expanded version? (If it actually happens).

That’s tomorrow isn’t it? Totally forgot about it this year..

 

[Suedehead]

The first two songs are great. I can confirm.

 

[Tisch]

I've decided I need a JOB to do before sticking this on, so I've settled on CLEANING OUT THE FRIDGE.

You did this Taylor.

 

[Suedehead]

The title track omg
I have so much cry

 

[Jark]

cherry picking thru part one but Guilty as Sin? and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived are great. Fortnight and Florida kinda washed over me.

it's quite alarming HOW committed she is now to making songs that have these super wordy melodies and live in this same soundscape she's been exploring for ages. I'm not sure it's a problem with the quality of individual songs, everything sounds good to me. but it's all blurring.

 

[Suedehead]

On Daddy I Love Him now

Sorry (NOT SORRY) to go against the grain but this is shaping up to be a masterpiece!
