TheIndividual posted:Every song, barring the last one, has the same awful pseudo-trap production with the clicky hi-hat rolls and everything. It sounds awful, and could have come from anyone. She has no personality of her own on this thing, and her idiosyncrasies were what made her earlier albums good.

Sorry but Dress is really good. I think the whole album is solid, a few more listens and I’ll decide how good it is.

This release is confusing me. I get that she'd rather push sales than streams and I'm happy to help her there, but they also seem to be pushing it on loving CD format? The only place I can find it for digital download is iTunes, and since I don't own an apple device I'd be stuck spending my money on and then extricating it from the worst piece of desktop software in the world. Outside of that, amazon have the CD but unlike most things they don't also give the mp3 version, I assume because that would mix it in with their streaming service. If I did buy that, I'd also have to wait for shipping, and I don't actually know anywhere around here that does CDs except discounted racks of Now Thats What I Call Summer Hits 2014 and Guns N Roses Greatest Hits, and even after getting my hands on the CD I've got the thorny issue of having decided I probably didn't need a CD player because it's loving 2017. Is my situation way more specific than I think? Is there a distribution channel I'm missing? Is this just a weirdly limited release?

DC Murderverse posted:while we're on Taylor Watch, here's a Rolling Stone article where some dude who really likes Taylor ranks 115 of her songs. It was written a few weeks ago, so the only Reputation songs it has are the first two singles, but the list itself is... alright. His top ten is: Stoked to see someone put Clean in their top 10. I love that track. I haven't listened to Reputation yet, haven't liked any of the singles and having to put more effort in than opening Spotify to hear it is... nah.

My guess is she made a deal w/Apple because it's streaming restricted for the first week. Expect if available on spotify/google/other platforms next week.

I listened to the songs that are available on Spotify and couldn’t get past the first chorus on any of them. Garbage quality. Any new, decent music from the last month or so that people are excited about?

the best paragraph I've read about Reputation, courtesy of The Ringerquote:There are a few Reputation songs, like “Dress,” that are genuinely sensual. And then there are a few songs that remind me of that Lonely Island video in which someone flies a plane to spell out in big letters in the sky, “I JUST HAD SEX.” edit: also a reminder that you should go back and listen to all of the Lonely Island albums again because it's been too long probably. those are classics of funny music that are also just good music.

I think "taylor swift still secretly a virgin" is a much funnier T-Swizz conspiracy theory than "taylor swift secretly a nazi"

Okay, apparently people like it. I thought it sounded very petulant and whiny and the line about her boyfriend gives off a creepy adulterous vibe that is really weird in a song that's basically "holy gently caress you're hot".

I like Call It What You Want off the new album a lot, it reminds me a lot of the “catchiness” and melodies in 1989 with some different production. Haven’t been too thrilled with the other songs I have heard so far.

IDK why we're doing backflips to make Taylor Swift interesting by queering some of her songs, seems easier to just like, support actual LGBT musicians. And CRJ obviously.

"Tay is Gay" is a popular conspiracy theory that sits right between "Taylor Swift is A Virgin" and "Taylor Swift is A White Supremacist".
