im sure swift fans love the video. i just wish she would stop working with joesph khan. he's such an asshole
the drums sound like a stock 909 or 707 drum machine plug in/sample not an actual 909 or 707, it just sounds really cheesy and canned. i mean ill give you the song sounds unique compared to other pop but again i refuse to make the leap that that automatically makes it good. but so many people are talking about it because taylor swift is the biggest pop star on the planet. people were going to be talking about it no matter what she put out. thats not really a way to measure anything other than her popularity, which we already know is huge.
you must be a sound engineer or have a better in depth knowledge about this stuff than i do, cause I can't hear these type of things. (this isn't a snarky response; this is a self depricating response of my lack of sound producing). Like i can't hear that the drum machine sounds stock. I like the cheesiness of the chorus' drum machine. Hearing that "Right Said Fred" worked on this was the biggest "that makes sense" ive ever heard. And "good" and "pop"...it's a different type of good, but i guess it's all subjective. We can't all be Animal Collective all the time.
i actually am hah thats fair i totally get why people like cheesy stuff sometimes. for me it doesnt work. animal collective has a lot of great pop stuff though
As was the case with "Bad Blood", good videos don't help make a bad song good. I know "Bad Blood" ended up being a huge hit, but I still can't get behind it to this day. Same case with this song. That being said, good on her for generating this much hype. Her marketing team are a bunch of geniuses and i do still have high hopes for the rest of the album.
To be fair, Santa Clause is Coming to Town is only like the fourth best song with a lyric about watching you while you sleep.
We should add a space after the comma in the thread title. It's bothering me more than it should haha.
Just not sure what is to be accomplished for T Swizzle's reputation in releasing a song like this. She has all the songwriting ability and cute marketability to be a star on her own terms, why do her terms have include constantly whining about it all?
ouch talk about a catty comment haha. See this the type of pop song i was complaining about. Maybe down the road after hearing it over and over again i might grow to like it, but this is not a song that would make me stop the radio or make me dig deeper into who the artist is or whatever. it sounds very similar to what a lot of the radio has now. That 'caribbean drum'/xylophone sound and sax is everywhere. This song does not stand out at all to me.
