Taylor Swift - Lover (August 23, 2019) Album • Page 112

Other than Haim, I guess.

Report back!

 

“Dibs” is so adorable it hurts. She’s a hometown hero around here.

 

Also just one of the catchiest things ever.

 

I will second the love for her debut.

She got a bit lost on the second album for me. Too faceless, too pop-generic.

 

I like her second album a lot. The first record is more "fun," which allows her to show off her personality a lot, but the second one plays with breakup album tropes in a way that I find really satisfying. It's maybe a tad overproduced, and could benefit from leaning a little more into country instrumentation than it does, but I just think the songs are really strong.

 

This album fucking rules. I agree it could’ve benefited from some editing (seriously how is Me not a bonus track?) but I’m surprised critics seem so cool on it

 

I need to return to it. It initially came off a bit like wallpaper to me, so I didn't give it as many listens as I probably should. Might grow on me.

 

She’s working on something now, single coming soon apparently. Maybe you can revisit the last one when the new one comes out.

 

I've decided that Afterglow is my favourite song on the album... at least for the time being.

 

Finally had a chance to listen to the album. It was difficult because I was in a car with Taylor h8rs ruining my moment! Thought it'd be all magical listening to it on the way to the beach but I couldn't pay attn. Lover was my fave standout track but it's hard to say because I couldn't pay attn as much as I wanted. I was waiting for Soon You'll Get Better to destroy me since my BIL has battled cancer, but it did not. Which I actually appreciate lol. I think it was vague enough to not get me, unlike Ronan which is soul destroying for me.

Def don't have an opinion formulated yet until I can listen in peace with headphones

 

I have to skip HYGB every time. Not vague enough.

 

Second this. Vague enough?! No way

 

What is HYGB

 

my dad told me this morning that he doesn't like taylor anymore because she is ignorant about politics and the equality act. i said that i love him, and i love taylor, but we aren't going to talk about it. then i turned the volume back up in the car so he couldn't talk over it.

 

SYGB sorry. Soon you’ll get better.

 

SYGB is an automatic skip, everything else is good if not great on this album. It just feels out of place and not special at all.

 

SYGB is a highlight to me.

 

Once I changed the order of the tracklist, I appreciated SYGB a lot more.

 

SYGB is a top 3 song on this album in any sequencing

 

SYGB is one of her career-best songs.

 

Without question.

 

I don’t like SYGB at all

 

I wanted to like it given the subject matter, but she already did it 10x better with ‘Ronan’

 

I think it's hard for me to judge SYGB objectively based on the subject matter but it's pretty

 

It’s the most unguarded and honest we have ever (and will ever?) see Taylor. It’s immensely intimate and special.
