Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department (April 19, 2024) Album • Page 91

oh man there’s some gems waiting for you

 

I'd have a hard time ranking this anything but last at this point. Maybe above Midnights, maybe above the debut, but I'd even have to think about those

 

19 out of over 150 isn't that low haha. Its one of my favourites for sure.

 

I think these 31 songs take her officially recorded discog to right around 240.

 

What is that list? Loml is your favorite Taylor song ever? Huh?

 

yep.

 

are you currently Going Through It

 

no but thankfully I can live vicariously through Taylor lol.

 

still haven't listened to this, or decided which variant to get.
Please rank these songs: The Albatross, The Manuscript, The Black Dog, The Bolter
I knew instantly I wanted this one for 1989(TV) but I don't feel that way for any of the Tortured Poets covers

not there anymore. what was the bonus track on this one?

 

The Black Dog
The Albatross
The Manuscript
The Bolter

For me. I think The Black Dog is the second best song of the whole project and it also has the best cover so I'd recommend that one.

 

assuming she's not doing a pressing of The Anthology, it might be best to go with either The Black Dog or The Manuscript. The Manuscript has the standard cover and the last track overall out of the 31. if you want The Anthology cover and the first song on the second half, go with The Black Dog.

the bonus track from the CD was But Daddy I Love Him (Acoustic)

 

just on quality, I think The Manuscript is the best, but it's not the most fun. it's a gorgeous closer, and I think a better closer than Clara Bow, which is still a great song. The Black Dog is probably the most fun. The Bolter reminds me of a more mature Taylor Swift doing a take on the music she made when she was younger. The Albatross is great too.

 

You are chaos

 

I think it’s entirely overhyped.

@bobby_runs your opinion on NR is the equivalent of having the runs. It def has GOAT status.

 

New Romantics isn’t even the best bonus track on 1989

 

Of these 4, The Black Dog is tops and it’s a precipitous drop to the other 3.

 

The Black Dog
The Manuscript
The Bolter
The Albatross

 

kinda late to this but yea I’d say there are only one or two songs on the core album that would’ve been worse choices for a single. It’s become a skip song for me.

 

I said it before, I think they're are two reasons it's the single. First, it's the opening track which guarantees the highest stream count. Second, it features Post, which guarantees high stream count. That's all

 

yeah i mean it makes sense business wise it just is not a song i see catching on much as a song

 

I don't really get the "Fortnight" hate. It's a cool vibey song that (IMO) sets the tone for the album better than anything else here; I really don't think the title track works as an opening track, as multiple people in this thread have tried with their alt tracklists...totally built to be a track 2. "Fortnight" has a sticky slow-burn hook with a memorable mission-statement-for-the-album lyric, Post sounds great, etc.

It's probably not the song I'd have chosen as the single ("I Can Do It with a Broken Heart" seems like the obvious call here, and I'm a strong believer that openers and closers shouldn't be your leadoff single) but that decision has limited bearing on my life since there wasn't a pre-release single from this album anyway.

 

You are so skilled at arriving at opinions that I simply cannot comprehend, lol. Love that for you.
