Taylor Swift - folklore (July 24, 2020) Album • Page 62

yup....kind of felt like an "oh shit, taylor is worth covering now, we need to hop on the next one"

 

That reminds me, I wonder if zionthelion would like this

 

the don giovanni guy is a huge asshole about this stuff, great record label still

 

This is too galaxy brain buckaroo

there’s pretty much 0 percent chance of this and doesn’t matter anyway since his album didn’t drop

 

oh i saw this shit this morning. big yawn.

 

This is the dumbest complaint yet.

 

Never thought Jonah Matranga was going to lead the vanguard of indie trends. Gonna go play “Yr Letter” a bunch of times.

 

knowing what goes into a release like this: no way. even with the inherent scramble of the industry, there's too much that goes into an album release like this for it to be randomly pushed up because she heard someone else might be dropping.

 

Right, but there are plenty of bands who have everything for a rollout ready and are choosing to sit on it instead of releasing it during COVID.

Anyway - I'm dropping the subject now, I was just curious if I was the only one who had an inkling of an idea it might be a possibility.

 

lol fuck, I didn't even see this one. Reallll dumb takes about this album.

 

Seems like a bad take that some indie publication that only writes about male artists and disowns bands that sign with major labels would have published in about 2008.

 

For the sake of my sanity has anyone figured out which song Aaron plays Mellotron on? I fuckin’ love Mellotron and I haven’t picked up on it yet and it’s making me twitch.

 

Stereogum championed Red a bunch

 

lol oh my bad - I'd choose this album easily

 

Needed to post something from the chorus account, never check the replies, did by accident, now am laughing.

 

my mom gave me her review of this album but I guess she only listened to the first minute of not even every song???

 

Man what the fuck is going on today

 

Yeah, I think Red retroactively got more praise, but it did start the more indie places caring about her.

 

Thieves to the west, clowns to the east. She called it.

 

Curious what her review was?

 

a music publication covering (potentially) the biggest album of the year in depth is a Very Bad Thing apparently.

 

i disagree with the "crafted to appeal to indie fans" argument but i understand where their impulse comes from to push back and empathize with the challenge of promoting independant music to a listener base when the oxygen is gone from the room. taylor's going to make close to as much money this week than literally all indie musicians did in the last 3 bandcamp fridays.

 

I wish Dolores could have heard “August”

 

sure but the disparity problems in the music industry dont start or end with taylor swift and taking it out specifically on her and this album is ridiculously unfair
