JohnMatrix Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 After one listen I think it's pretty good. Definitely a further departure from her previous records which I don't think is a bad thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 (edited) Agreed. Musically it’s light years away from what she has done. Lyrically, it’s on par with everything else she’s done. Edited November 9, 2017 by timsimmons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the bottom of the ad, it says: Reserve Your Exclusive Color Vinyl Variant Coming Soon! No idea what that may mean...do you have to go in-person to FYE to order/reserve or will it be online? I tweeted at FYE asking...but of course no response. Snaggle Von Swift and nardes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought these videos were satire until I looked at the related videos and saw a billion other insufferable reaction videos like this. Someone wake me up.

drewberinger Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 It’s unfornutate that she kicked off this album cycle with arguably her worst song of all time because overall I think this album is better than 1989 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tape Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I'm about 2/3 of the way through the album and it's a lot better than I expected. granted, I expected it to be really bad. there's some good stuff from a musical/instrumental perspective. "bangers" if you will. a lot of the lyrics feel to me like a step back from the progression in the last couple of albums in the sense that they feel less mature. that part seems a little disappointing to me. I mean, I dunno. I guess her primary market is still teenage girls so maybe I shouldn't expect more, but other young/teen artists have had their music shift and grow as they grew up and I was hoping Taylor would as well, and she just doesn't seem to be doing it. I'll say this though, I thought "Look What You Made Me Do" was absolute garbage when the single got released, and listening to it today it seemed ok. tl;dr more listens will be needed for sure but it's not nearly as bad as I expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted November 15, 2017 Author Share Posted November 15, 2017 I've given it a few repeated listens but I'm not warming up to it. At least not as quickly as 1989. It feels like a forced effort to be indie pop but not really getting it. And the overuse of effects & auto-tune in some spots just grinds my gears. zacooper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each listen gets better... there’s so much going on in the music (mainly the Jack songs) and the lyrics are really starting to “process” with me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnMatrix Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 I like it more than 1989. The only song I really don't like so far is the one with Future and Ed Sheeran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timsimmons Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) It’s definitely not as immediate or easily accessible as 1989. But it’s a pretty great pop album. Edited November 15, 2017 by timsimmons nardes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted November 17, 2017 Share Posted November 17, 2017 I got an email from Barnes And Noble and it says reputation is coming out December 8th, but its a 2xLP Picture Disc, for $45. Fuck that, hopefully that's an exclusive and not the standard. https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/reputation-taylor-swift/31706232?ean=0843930033157&sourceId=L000025879&st=EML&2sid=171117_FF_MUS_VINYL_NEWSLETTER&sid=MUS&hConversionEventId=AQEAAZQF2gAmdjQwMDAwMDE1Zi1jYTk2LWE5MmItYTU2OC02ZWY0YmJlNWJlNjjaACQ3MTIyYjNmMS1hMDllLTRhNzMtMDAwMC0wMjFlZjNhMGJjY2PaACQxYTQ4ODlkNy0xZjk2LTRmM2YtODdmOS1lZDM0NzVjNWY0ZjlVadrJxLS-ro9WT_1ADUlm3TZ7aI9Iv6qhVv1G9uHlGg I don't know why the link is so long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
