There are many ways to review a Taylor Swift album.

Some are proper.

Some are bad.

Today I will do a very, super in-depth review of the tortured poops deployment.

Review:

This album is very forgettable and fairly tame, mid fun. Indeed, I checked out a few tracks and they all couldn’t hold my attention for longer than a minute. This is because a lot of the tracks are ultra boring. Not gonna lie, there’s some good, shiny diamond beats, but we’ve been there, and ***ed that in the ass multiple times already. When folklore came out I figured it was a turning point in T Swizzle’s career and I was correct, she crashed into a tree. Shizz got boring real fast.

This album is good though! Yeah, in the same way that we enjoy vanilla ice cream. It is exactly the same as before. The same pop you love is here, though these vocals can’t light a candle compared to her previous pop albums. Where’s the passion? Where’s those belted out high notes she used to be known for? Nowhere, cause she doesn’t have to bother when she can literally ***, and people will buy it and call it modern art.

The one very different thing about this album is found on T Swizzle’s Twitter statement, where it is described as:

“An anthology of new works that reflect events, opinions and sentiments from a fleeting and fatalistic moment in time - one that was both sensational and sorrowful in equal measure. This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it.”

In other words, T Swizzle is finally deciding to grow up and not bitch about every boyfriend she’s dumped. Thank god, new lyrics!

Conclusion: pretty dece album with some nice, pleasant bops but it’s no Madonna or Britney Spears. =[

There's better writing in this review than the entirety of the lyrics of this album

Taylor Swift's social media explanation of the album which pizza pasted in this review is more cringe than the vast majority of metal Bandcamp blurbs I've seen, which is saying something

this album was a pretty bad disappointment. i think this was the first album of taylor’s i was struggling to finish. i wasn’t a huge fan of midnights (although it did give us great songs in snow on the beach, you’re on your own kid, the great war, and maroon), which seems like it dances circles around TTPD, but i can’t think of one song i would choose to listen to again, except maybe my boy only breaks his favorite toys.



there isn’t a lot going on here sonically, and a lot of the songs are very similar. there is some great lyrics throughout, and there’s also some really weird ones as well.

i truly hope she drops this sound for her next album.
