Wait, Taylor was streaming live for the launch? Where can I see this?Love this album. First time I attended a video launch on youtube. It was a lot of sharing joy with the Swifties.
Sorry to be the contrarian, but this album is boring as hell. It's just not interesting at all...it's like the stereotype of what I'd expect to be playing in a Starbucks; competent, professional, but completely uninteresting.

that was for cardigan. it was on youtube. I feel I might have said something wrong. lolWait, Taylor was streaming live for the launch? Where can I see this?
Yyup, that's what I meant.I think the video was simply "Premiered" so people watched it together in real-time and could live comment.
I disagree. The music is beautifully crafted, some of the best composed music released this year. The overall tempo is very slow, but it was never meant to be a typical Taylor pop album. I also think the lyric content is really striking and hits hard with the reflective themes. Far away from a stereotypical throwaway coffee shop package. You have to give Taylor a little more credit than that, she's a very good song writer.
The pronunciation of "mouth" is different in those two phrases, and she's clearly saying 'mouTH'.My partner pointed something out on "mad woman" that I can't unhear. The line "Or does she mouth, 'Fuck you forever'?" sounds like "Or does she mouth-fuck you forever?" and obviously would completely change the meaning. It's clearly not what is intended, but now it sounds like this to me every time.

Huh? I pronounce those the same way. But, the official lyrics say it's the former. No mouth-fucking!

I agree though, the song takes on a newer, funner meaning the other way.
You're right, the tempo is slow, and I think that's what's killing me. I just wish it would change it up, like, at all.
For the record, I love slow and depressing music, but this is it just not working for me. I can't help but compare it to Fiona Apple's new album, which was amazing in its diverse musicality.
Of course, I bought it. Heh. Got the CD version.Don't miss this special opportunity to collect the limited edition items which also contain the original voice memo Taylor Swift sent Aaron Dessner upon receiving his instrumental tracks for what would ultimately become the song, "cardigan". Here, Taylor described her writing process, as well as sang a cappella over the original track. The songwriting memo includes alternate lyrics.
The official store posted a CD and vinyl (7" and 12" ) single of cardigan, with voice memos.
Of course, I bought it. Heh. Got the CD version.
Oh, nice! I'd order one if I had more money. Trying to keep some saved up for the new consoles.Me too lol. Got this so I could meet the $50 + free shipping so I ordered it with the replica of the cardigan. Should be coming around the time it gets cold here in socal so itll be good timing.
aw not for Europe. the shipping from the US is just too much for me.The official store posted a CD and vinyl (7" and 12" ) single of cardigan, with voice memos.

the last great american dynasty is one of the best things she has ever done

It's a nice album but I really miss the standout tracks, it all blends together a bit.
Cruel Summer and Death by a Thousand Cuts are so great to listen to. Lover was an amazing album.
I'll give it a couple more listens and see if anything starts to grab me though.
Yeah, Me is dogshit, but that's one song.
The title track Lover is my fav song from that album and Archer was great tooIt's a nice album but I really miss the standout tracks, it all blends together a bit.

god the second half of Cardigan where she breaks out of the normal chorus and it becomes this emotional run-on of "I knew..." leading up to that "cause I knew EVERYTHING when I was young!" is just so fucking good.
Cardigan didn't stand out too much on the first listen but now it's one of my favorites.
