Review Taylor Swift's Lover [7]

[weed 73,785]

after time I don't think ME! is as bad as I originally hated it, it's a cute kidsy bop. I think the album is so good so far, not a revolutionary album but it's a solid cohesive piece of work

Faves atm: I Forgot That You Existed, The Man, Paper Rings, Cornelia Street, Lover, Miss Americana

[JohnnyVersace 8,994]

Standouts: Cruel Summer, Lover, The Man, Miss Americana, Cornelia St., False God (that sax  ), Daylight

It's shocking how bad the two lead singles are in comparison to the other tracks. A choice, for sure. 

[Bio 23,538]

It isn't bad, it's just full of fillers. A non-event.

I've aggregated the reviews and came up with this.

CONSENSUS: The album is uneventful but still fun and easy to listen to. It pales when compared to her previous albums but still serves bops we've come to expect from Taylor and famed producers Jack Antonoff and Joel Little.

Wasn't blown away at all but I don't hate it either. Liked a couple but it's just not my cup of tea. Lover is the best song.

[MonSwiftAnton 3,746]

Best:  Soon You'll Get Better (Maybe it's because my father passed away a couple of years ago at his second fight with cancer, but I broke down when I heard this) ,  False God, I Forgot You Existed,  Lover

Better:  The Man, Cornelia Street, You  Need To Calm Down, Afterglow, Cruel Summer

Good: The Archer , I Think He Knows, It's Nice To Have A Friend, Miss Americana & The Heartbreak Prince, ME!, Daylight

Meh:  Death By A Thousand Cuts, London Boy, Paper Rings

Overall I think that Jack Antonoff produced way to many songs on this album, and you can really hear it. Some songs show some growth while some are just the happy songs that didn't fit in the dark era of Reputation. The highlights of the album are the songs that is not reminding me of that album (even though I loved it). In the future I would love a singer/songwriter album from her, because she's shown time and time again during her career how amazing her storytelling can be.

I really liked The Man and Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince.

The rest were Okay, Probably wouldn't listen to them again though. I'd give it a 6/10 as a whole.

[Pop Music 20,540]

Best: Lover, The Man, Miss Americana, Cornelia Street (My fav), Daylight, YNTCD

 

Great: Cruel Summer, Paper rings, London Boy, Soon You'll Get Better, Afterglow

 

Good: I Forgot That You Existed, The Archer, I Think He Knows, It's nice to have a friend

 

Meh: Death By A Thousand Cuts, False God, ME!

 

overall a solid 9/10

I really love this album so much. I love rep and 1989 but the lyrics on those albums are not as deep as in the previous albums, I think in this one she was able to reclaim that so beautifully.  The lyrics are so specific to her like on Cornelia Street, the Archer, Miss Americana...I don't even think I know exactly what every song is about but you now they have some deep elaborate meaning Taylor thought about. I'm very happy with this, my only downside is that she chose me as the lead when it's one of my least favourite Tay songs, like whyyyyyyy. It grew on me a little bit but seeing all the others choices is sad. Love it!
