I'll add Back to December to that list if we're doing picks from her best album, Speak Now. Her newer, stronger voice will probably smash The Story Of Us and Haunted, too. My understanding is that it really is a re-record rather than any significant re-tool, but I'm interested to see how the self-titled comes out. Her voice and style changed so much just from there to Fearless, I do wonder whether she'll try to re-capture the country thing (and do a better job at it) or go with something a little closer to her later work.

Britney dropped a new single on her birthday, an outtake from Glory, and it's really good. I hope her legal poo poo is progressing and this awful arrangement can end so she can start recording and performing again (if that's what she wants to do  if I was her I might just want to be done with it altogether)Anyway Swimming In The Stars is nice

I've started listening to Folklore a bunch and man the songwriting is top tier on this album. August has moments where it sounds straight off of a Girls album, Mirrorball is so shoegaze, stuff like The 1 and Last Great American Dynasty are more mature and interesting versions of the songs that Taylor's made her entire career, and Seven and My Tears Ricochet are both excellent bummer songs. Even the minor songs are still leagues better than most people could do on a good dayDeformed Church posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=poaP-o8klRM this song is also really good, I was disappointed that it didn't sound more like Joan of Arc at first but it sounds like a modern cover of a 50s song that a rock band would play at the prom, in the best way.

I'm somehow more blindsided by a second surprise album drop than I was for the first. folklore is my favourite Taylor Swift album and my AOTY so it's going to need to be perfect to usurp the throne.

Yeah like I said I went through Folklore a bunch more over the last few weeks and I was just marveling at it and how much everyone lived it and how much AotY recognition it’s getting and how everyone seems to have a different favorite song And now she’s just got another one? It’s insane. I almost feel like it can’t be as good but when Emotion Side B came out as the follow up to the best album in the world it was mostly bangers too. Maybe this will just be more greatness.

The Lakes is my #1 swift song ever since I heard it. The whole album is magnificent, and my aoty as well, but The Lakes takes it to a whole other level for me. A level so high it dwarfs everything else. Tomorrow is gonna be good day I am sure.

Evermore isn't bad, it's just not hitting me nearly as hard as folklore did after the first listen. That National collab was neat though. I know Aaron was all over folklore but it was cool hearing Matt and Taylor duet like she did with Bon Iver on exile (and again here on the title track). Really, this just makes me want to listen to folklore again.

Gonna have to give it more time; I remember listening to folklore that first night and not really getting epiphany or peace (the former is one of my favorite songs from the album now). Standouts for me right now are 'champagne problems', 'no body, no crime', 'coney island', and the title track.

It's real fuckin' good, ya'll. I dunno if it quite matches folklore, but it's close and a perfect double-album companion. It actually reminds me a of a KT Tunstall album, which is probably the highest praise I can give it since Drastic Fantastic is one of my Top 10 of all time. Something like "Dorothea" would compliment KT's "Paper Aeroplane" really well. Axel Serenity fucked around with this message at 09:52 on Dec 11, 2020 |

Ordered the vinyl, based on my last order I should get it in time for the end of the spring semester. I love that Taylor’s fully owning her storytelling powers now. She’s written songs about herself all the way through her career and she’s never gonna stop pulling from her life but now she weaves her life in with these people of her creation and I think she could do this every six months for forever and never get dull lyrically (I dunno if I could take 100 more albums with this sonic aesthetic but I haven’t grown tired of it yet so keep going!) Also having a song called Tis The drat Season is some good poo poo this year. I heard her cover of Last Christmas in the grocery store today and all I could think was how much better she sounds now. edit: when she’s done working with Dessner and co I want a pair of albums where TS works with James Murphy please. Preferably when she gets old enough to start complaining about how uncool she is when compared to the current cool kids (so like, 3-4 years) Edit 2: I know it’s very fun that she gets to say the gently caress word now but when I heard this line: Champaigne Problems posted:"She would've made such a lovely bride all I could think of was I Write Sins Not Tragedies (sung by Brandon Urie, who duetted with TS on a song that I’m fairly sure came out a decade ago at least. Maybe 15 years?) Edit3: after years of writing songs about boys I bet it’s a huge relief that she can write songs with a boy, and since they’re happy they can write the most heartbreaking poo poo! (Exile and Champagne Problems) Edit4: alright last thought tonight I swear: wtf is up with the single choices for both of these albums. Cardigan is good but a little too chill even for radio in 2020 and god August was sitting right there to exist on the charts for all of August (also Betty unless she doesn’t want to let on to parents that she curses now like a cool older cousin) but Willow might be one of the few forgettable tracks on this one and Gold Rush is literally right next to it!

Here is the opinion of a random guy on the internet you don't even know listening to Evermore for the first time. Using posted here earlier in the thread to listen to the random order uploaded on youtube. 1. Willow: Sounds good but not as good as the best of Folklore. 2. Champagne problems: This is more like it here we go. 3. Gold Rush: At first it was ok. After the end part I was "I'm in this song and I 4. ‘Tis the drat season: gently caress. This gave me back memories. Goddamn. 5. Tolerate it: gently caress. this is the best one yet. Really laying the table with the fancy poo poo. ngl repeated this one a bit before going on. 6. No body, no crime: kind of a emotional whiplash after the last 2 but it really jams. Good song. Think this one is gonna get even better over time and without album order. 7. Happiness: And we're back on the previous trainride. This one feels double. Remorseful and accepting. Quite human in its' approach of duality in emotions I think. 8. Dorothea: Not a single bad word about it. Love it. 9. Coney Island: They both sound great. Alone and together. "Sorry for not winning you an arcade ring....over and over." 10. Ivy: Saying Evermore is a sister/brother/related album to Folklore is NOT an exaggeration. More of this please. This is really really good. 11. Cowboy like me: The leather seats and background fits perfect as a setting. This is a kind of song I like to listen to with a 'this many' glass of whiskey in one hand and doing some weird airpiano/conductor stuff with the other. Good song. 12. long story short: This is just a derail. Pull up Album. 13. Marjorie: It really feels like a perfect companion piece to Epihany which was part about her grandfather. Cementing the intertwining of the two albums. Respect your elders 10/10. *insert small wikipedia/internet search on Marjorie Finlay* Yeah knowing more and seeing the video, this one is the best. I miss my old folks  14. Closure: This sounds like I got 2 tabs in Chrome playing audio at the same time. That's the best way for me to describe it. 15: Evermore: Back to Folklore quality, this last part of the album was a rollercoaster of sensations/taste. It feels like a good titular song to present the album. And end it as well. I can't find good (or any) upload for the 2 bonus songs. Marjorie and Tolerate it are the best. I like Folklore more. But Evermore is truly a companion piece and really lives up to it. Long Story short and Closure are two bad songs which drag the whole album down though. e; The Lakes remains #1 Qwezz fucked around with this message at 23:46 on Dec 11, 2020 |

I’m not ready to say that it’s 100% the better album but Evermore definitely came out at a time more appropriate to my mood and the season, which means I’m listening to it a lot more right away. It’s a very December album Edit: I made a comment/joke about how Taylor should work with James Murphy next while she’s on a 2010 indie producer/artist kick but honestly there’s no song Marjorie reminds me more of than Someone Great. I’d love to see Taylor make a couple Dance/Punk/Synths albums with some DFA people. Also I keep waffling about the most devastating song on the album. On first listen Tolerate Me stood out, and then I listened to Tis The drat Season a few times and thought it was that, but I think the gold medal goes to Champagne Problems, which I can picture in my head clear as day every time I listen to it and every time it gets to the final verse i can just feel my heart giving out DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 00:17 on Dec 13, 2020 |

Someone on the Taylor Swift reddit pointed out that the piano line for Dorothea has been used in a National song before I truly cannot wait for the mashup of these two songs. Edit: speaking of “reusing” tracks, I can’t believe that today is the first I’m hearing that Say So jacked a Skylar Spence beat but now that I’ve heard it I can’t I hear it https://youtu.be/LWxygIl7nTU No wonder I like that song so much, it takes a rapper I like and puts it over a song I love DC Murderverse fucked around with this message at 00:06 on Dec 16, 2020 |

A level so high it dwarfs everything else. Tomorrow is gonna be good day I am sure. so I hadn't listened to The Lakes initially because I fell off of Folklore for a while after it came out but after Evermore dropped I've just been listening to the both together and finally got to really listen to The Lakes for the first time and so I have to ask, how much of that song is tongue in cheek? It's very melodramatic and funny but I can't quite place exactly how much she's being serious.

"My very own" Transscript from Long Pond Studio Sessions on Disney+quote:Taylor: I think The Lakes sort of sounds like a testament of what I wanted to escape from and where I saw myself escaping. We've gone to the Lake District in England a couple years ago. TLDR; It's serious and sincere.

Bonus tracks for Evermore came out a week ago and while It’s Time to Go is fine (the last verse is one of the most direct references to Taylor’s current musical fight but the rest is just eh), I think I’ve listened to Right Where You Left Me like 20 or 30 times since I first heard it. It sounds like Current Taylor trying to write a song that could have slotted into Speak Now but with a more mature voice and I am here for it entirely.
