Speak Now, Red and 1989 are excellent albums but..

This is f****** awful from start to finish- terrible lyrics, auto tune hell, track after track of near identical hip hoppy electronica. By the time I got to Dress i ended up shouting "no no no" repeatedly to the cd player in the car as I went for the skip button

There is one stand out moment- i don't remember the name, it's got the choir on it

Other tolerable moments are Gorgeous, Getaway Car and Can you deal with it

By far the worst album she's done, it's as unpleasant to listen to as the Katy Perry album and anything Madonna has released in the last decade. 

PREACH SIS

I might just add this to the OP as it represents exactly what I think

Surprisingly enough, the album is not only not growing on me, but falling aparte, so I'm hating it more and more every time I listen to it

Delicate is my favorite 

[Mees 269]

I will give it a 6/10

After the first listen it’s kind of hard to put my feelings into words. 

I’ve loved Taylor pretty much since the beginning and what’s impressed me each cycle is how she’s never made the same album twice, but still remained true to who she was as a songwriter. However this is not the case for this album....

To me, everyone involved seems off their game (save for Jack Antonoff who is having a banner year). Both Max Martin and Taylor seem lost trying to chase current (or sometimes dated) trends that don’t fit or add an interesting contrast to the work they’ve done before. And  Taylor’s lyricism has lost all the beautiful specificity that defined her previous albums, leaving much to be desired. 

There were nice moments on the album, but nothing that can hold a candle to pre-reputation Swift. I knew the old Taylor was dead, I just didn’t think she’d be forgotten 

I agree. I never really liked her, but even I can admit that albums like Speak Now had some really great story lyricism in there. I haven't listened to this album (liked none of the songs so far), but it doesn't sound like it's for me and it's a shame.

If it was gagas voice we'd be saying differently. On 3rd listen its 8/10 might be 9/10 on 4th.

I wish gaga made this!

[Sorcerer 12,487]

4/10

Don't Blame Me, Delicate, Getaway Car, and Call It What You Want somehow elevate a pettily written, auto-tuned, and generic hip hoppy album about justifying her villain ways and being obsessed with a guy.

I Did Something Bad - 10/10

I give the album a 8.5/10 overall. All tracks connected. Just listen to the album in full once in right order

you'll feel it.

Thanks

6/10 

most of the songs are Repetitive 

the good songs on the album are:

Don’t Blame Me 

New Year’s Day 

....Ready For It 

Call it What You Want

Everything  else was just generic a boring. 

I felt like Taylor was experimenting with her sound.....and......it turn out bad burn the GP loves it.

Im enjoying it.  I really like End Game besides Ron Weasley being on the track.

[Princess Stache 2,066]

BEST SONGS: End Game, I Did Something Bad, Gorgeous, Don't Blame Me, Getaway Car

WORST SONGS: King of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Dress

 

I think it's a good pop album with an interesting sound.  It's EDM but not too basic like the stuff on the radio. (ARTPOP's impact).  Certainly better than Witness.
