| Astronoid Astronoid |
| I could feel my consciousness slipping away, until finally I was hovering above my own lifeless body on a hospital stretcher. I drifted through the ceiling and towards the sky, following that brilliant, tantalizing light. At the gates of heaven stood 5 Angels riffing hard. They said, "hear our song" and transitioned into this incredible breakdown. From behind the gates I could hear Jesus pounding the drums like a maniac. Thomas greeted me at the gate and as I extended my hands to show him my palms, he said "yo, shut the fuck up this is my favorite part" and the riff from 'A New Color' descended upon us. The gates of heaven blew wide open and I could see everyone in the kingdom was just rocking out, losing themselves in the bliss of this 'dream thrash'. Then I saw God, and he smiled upon me and said, "my son, check out this sick riff" and from behind him, like a great bow, he pulled out a golden guitar and went off on an insane solo, headbanging with those beautiful white tresses. I could feel tears of joy welling up in my eyes, as I saw from afar my grandfather in the mosh pit laughing and screaming, throwing fisticuffs at everyone in sight. It was pure bliss. Then I heard a loud beeping sound and could feel my soul being sucked back down into the Earth. I reached for the skies but there was nothing to latch onto. "CLEAR" yelled the doctor, and I gasped loudly as oxygen flooded my lungs. I was sent back to tell my story -- Astronoid is the way, the truth, and the light. Go and listen to it right now; for it is good. |

Yeah nevermind the vault tracks are excellent, she's a national treasure and generational artist, my hot takes always suck, etc.
Also, it's important to remember that her goal here (as on all Taylor Versions) is to recreate new masters of the songs so she owns them, not to experiment or reimagine the originals. Of course they're going to be borderline carbon copies. |
