I can't believe a Chris Carrabba co-write/feature hasn't happened yet.

I just really miss when her albums had energy to them tbh. It’s like she found this muted approach in folklore and evermore (which are great!) but now it just kind of runs through everything she’s done since in a way that makes me feel tired and bored

Bleacher's s/t is their best album and I'm shocked that I'm saying that - grown to really love that record. Certainly going to keep spinning it through the summer too

"You needed me, but you needed drugs more"? Has Taylor been listening to the Jimmy Eat World classic "Drugs or Me"?

The new bleachers album is really really good and I’m not a big bleachers fan.

What excites me most is Swifties having to research the 1830s and racism.

First album is 12/4 Antonoff to Dessner, second album is 4/12. Pretty big split each way.

I think the general "issue" I have with this amount of music is that, especially when working with familiar collaborators, you can really hear the songwriting formulas, exercises, habits, etc. that she finds useful coming up over and over again. That's true of any artist who is writing as much as she has over the past many years and the songs are still good. This is also not a real complaint in any way haha.

That flow in the singing in Fortnight when Post comes on is bliss. It just sounds right

Early impressions: Better than my first listen of Midnights but very one note. Missing a new level, which means the over exposure becomes a factor and it just feels … ok? And a little lacking. the Starting Line reference rules If you told me this was a bunch of bsides or (fake) versions of the vault tracks I’d believe you. this roll out has bugged me and felt exploitative if I was a consultant for a career (lol no one cares what I think at this level) .. I’d recommend a break, a reset, and work on the songs until they don’t feel like lesser versions of what you’ve don’t before

There needs to be a clean break, IMO. All new collaborators, a new songwriting approach, a temporary moratorium on synths. I both like this album and feel like it's spinning its wheels in a lot of ways.

I think folklore is the gold standard in her catalog for that. Everything in its right place, IMO.

[ATTACH] [ATTACH] Everything I took home with me after ten days in Tokyo. Also got to see quite a few film locations, and a few screen-used suits from the Millennium series. Just an incredible trip as a fan.

It's basically a crowd that you will find in a Dashboard Confessional show
