Anveeroy 56,781 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Welcome to the Megarate on Taylor Swift's most personal transforming eight studio album 'FOLKLORE'. A mere 11 months passed between the release of Lover and its surprise follow-up, but it feels like a lifetime. Written and recorded remotely during the first few months of the global pandemic, folklore finds the 30-year-old singer-songwriter teaming up with The National’s Aaron Dessner and longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff for a set of ruminative and relatively lo-fi bedroom pop that’s worlds away from its predecessor. When Swift opens “the 1”—a sly hybrid of plaintive piano and her naturally bouncy delivery—with “I’m doing good, I’m on some new ****,” you’d be forgiven for thinking it was another update from quarantine, or a comment on her broadening sensibilities. But Swift’s channeled her considerable energies into writing songs here that double as short stories and character studies, from Proustian flashbacks (“cardigan,” which bears shades of Lana Del Rey) to outcast widows (“the last great american dynasty”) and doomed relationships (“exile,” a heavy-hearted duet with Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon) and more. It’s a work of great texture and imagination. “Your braids like a pattern/Love you to the moon and to Saturn,” she sings on “seven,” the tale of two friends plotting an escape. “Passed down like folk songs, the love lasts so long.” For a songwriter who has mined such rich detail from a life lived largely in public, it only make sense that she’d eventually find inspiration in isolation. Rules: 1) You have to rate (1-10) each and every track of the album. 2) You can also rate your most favorite track 11. Just one TRACK. 3) You can give ONE ZERO to any of the tracks.

joesuda 798 Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 I'm definitely in, but I will probably take time with my rates to listen to this album multiple times and to see which tracks grow in which direction. Knew you'd make fun of me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
