omg. i cannot do that. i was so excited. totally worth the wait
Taylor Swift - Reputation (November 10, 2017)
On first listen:
Ready For It
Look What You Made Me Do
So It Goes
Gorgeous
Dress
I think the rest of the album blends together and nothing is very distinguishing imo. End Game and I Did Something Bad are awful.
I thought This Is Why was a fun little dig at KimYe. But I was under the impression this album was going to hit harder sonically and have a lot more anger, confidence and overall a new personality. A lot of it sounds like 1989 B-Sides remixed by Jack Antonoff. Sheās never really been my cup of tea apart from a few songs, so I listened to this hoping it would be something drastically different, especially after Look.
The album never reaches the dizzying heights of 1989, but it never reaches the lows present on that album. Also, thereās this strange undercurrent of dubstep sprinkled throughout the entirety and Iām fairly certain that we left that back in 2011. It doesnāt particularly hinder anything, but itās such a weird callback to hear in 2017.
The album is a complete 180 from the darker aggressive vibe she was going with on Look What You Made Me Do. Bit disappointed.
Not as exciting as 1989 with the first listenā¦ But itās growing on me!
Current Favs: Delicate, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Call It What You Want
My thots:
Great production, beautiful productionā¦
And thatās about it.
Itās her vocal ability and lyrics that just donāt fit with this production like at all.
Ready for It, End Game, and This is Why We Canāt Have Nice Things are such jokes of songs
I liked Dancing With Our Hands Tied
& Look What You Made Me Do is a fun campy song tbh!
Itās a nice album but not her best, imo.
āThis Is Why We Canāt Have Nice Thingsā and āDelicateā are my favorites so far!
Listened to it yesterday. Not sure how I feel about the rest of the tracks besides the ones pre-released before it. The album as a whole was just OK to me. Iāll have to listen to it more
