Apparently it leaked, because it wouldn't be a XCX drop without a leak.

Hello thread, I'm a 31-year-old dude somehow just now discovering that pop music is, in fact, good, and thanks to this thread I spent the drive to work listening to Emotion and trying to contain the :tviv: long enough to make it to work (and listen to it all day here, too).

Anyway just wanted to say thanks, now to go listen to other awesome albums from years ago that I missed

I'm not sure exactly how this metaphor works but Emotion is simultaneously a gateway drug and also exactly like mainlining heroin because once you do it a couple times and like it you will never stop.

Now you have to get the bonus tracks and Emotion B-Sides if you haven't already. We'll have you ranking Taylor Swift albums within a year.

Not if I can help it. Stick with Carly. She's empirically better. CRJ keeps getting better while Taylor keeps spinning out and mudslinging, and in the process getting meaner, lamer, and more petty and desperate to take the spotlight. Like, she doesn't even sound like she's having fun anymore.

If Reputation was more like the last two tracks and Getaway Car it would actually be pretty good

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."

T-swift's output has always been really uneven, imo. Even within one album, she's really inconsistent. The abomination of this. sick. beat. was somehow on the same album as Style, after all.

In general she's worse the more she unironically leans into the catty rich white girl schtick, and she's been doing that more and more over time, so...:shrug:

Not a big fan of Taylor Swift but Style is a genuinely good song because it shows a mature and vulnerable side to her songwriting that I wish she continued to develop instead of this TMZ poo poo.

Yeah, Style is a really good song. The first time I heard it a couple years ago I couldn't believe it was Taylor Swift. But I don't really dig anything else she's done, especially not the singles from Reputation.

I'm a sucker for a well-used synth, I guess.

There’s about 5 fantastic songs on the album.

if Reputation is so terrible why do I keep listening to Don't Blame Me and Delicate back to back on repeat? huh?

(there are some really embarrassing songs on that album though i agree)

No, of course, the big pop stars make most of their money from concert tours. But I was replying to the post about her selling 2 million albums in its first week.

Yeah, I was just going by the singles from Reputation. I actually don't hate "Ready for It," if I listen to it without "Look What You Made Me Do" in my mind, and I really like "Delicate," "Dress," and "Don't Blame Me."

Really I just want another "Style." I've never been a Taylor Swift fan but I legit love that song.

Edit: Okay I listened to "Don't Blame Me" again and this song is really, really good

Don’t Blame Me is like Taylor’s version of one of the more gospely Gaga songs and I like it a lot

Honestly it’s a good album, grew on me a lot. Look What You Made Me Do is by far the worst track. Getaway Car, Call It What You Want, Delicate, New Year’s Day, and Dancing With Our Hands Tied are all cool songs too. And even some of the more goffik princess ones like I Did Something Bad are growing on me.
