    Probably the album with her best lyrics. Also, the melodies and the vocals are insanely amazing. Overall, for me, it's the album of the year.

    One of the best in her entire catalogue. Chill sound, amazing songwriting and pure vocals makes folklore the best 2020 music album so far.

    Folklore is an amazing body of work and something brand new that we never expected Taylor to try. It's one of the most cohesive albums I've ever heard from her, sonically and thematically.

Mas ainda assim, se assemelha com suas raízes e nos traz uma nova perspectiva sobre sua arte! Muitos irão se desagradar, caso estejam apegados às músicas pop e batidas fortes vistas em seus 4 últimos álbuns. Claramente, é um álbum para ser escutado sem expectativas de permanência do que a cantora nos mostrou no passado. Para mim, esse é o lado melhor de Taylor: a inconsistência e mudança! Dessa vez com músicas mais maduras e profundas, que sem sombra de dúvidas me fizeram amar essa obra mais do que qualquer outro álbum anterior dela!… Expand

    Acá Taylor Swift se arriesga a experimentar con géneros no antes vistos y menos comerciales que sus anteriores trabajos, una puesta arriesgada teniendo en cuenta su gran impacto comercialmente.
    No sólo nos demuestra su increíble talento como compositora sino también como poeta, acá pone un hilo de distintas situaciones que te envuelven en otro mundo en el cuál logras identificarte como si vivieras una serie dividida en 16 capítulos sobre tu vida,
    No consta de una producción muy privilegiada y/o detallada y aunque para fanáticos esto les parezca muy lejos de como la conocieron al estilo "1989", "reputation" e incluso "Lover" es un avance más en composición misma que en producción y realmente al escuchar bien el álbum te das cuenta que no requiere de una sobre producción para destacar entre sus anteriores trabajos.
    No sólo vemos un riesgo para Swift sino también un punto de madurez de si misma, las situaciones por las cuales ella ha estado a lo largo de su carrera profesional o vida personal en donde haya altibajos o buenos momentos, siempre sale a flote y lo hace gracias a la música y nunca decepciona, siempre destaca como tal con cada nuevo álbum y así no sólo se refleja entre sus fans o no fans sino de igual modo en la critica.
    Es un trabajo sorprendente por el tiempo tan escaso en el cuál tardo en realizar este álbum y por eso se destaca en sus últimos respectivamente, acá ella no va sólo para realizar música para bailar sino para hacernos sentir como lo es amar, llorar, disfrutar y emocionarnos por los pequeños pero gran detalles de distintas situaciones que tenemos a lo largo de nuestra vida o que hemos vivido como tal.    … Expand

    Folklore is one of the best written album by Taylor so far. The description of what's happening to each song, the melodies, the rhythms everything about it is just so good. This album goes back to her Country albums where it was written like she's telling a story.

    This is a hauntingly beautiful album. Taylor's lyricism and storytelling are unmatched. Folklore is breathtaking in its simplicity, yet captivating in its specificity. Taylor is truly a master of her craft.

    Beautifully written and the production is timeless. Perfect album to listen to while hiking or sitting on your porch while sipping on red wine.

    Folklore is amazing, it's a totally different thing from what Taylor did before and it was a surprise, but a good surprise

    Taylor Swift appears to effortlessly tackle yet another genre, dominating the charts in a matter of days. The soft ethereal vibe and unpolished nature of the album reflects the state which it was written in through the quarantine. HISTORY IN THE MAKING.

    Sinceramente lo mejor para despegarse del mundo y sumergirse en el propio yo de cada persona. En aquellos problemas que han hecho un cambio en tu vida y la perspectiva que ahora tienes para confrontarlos. Es pasado, presente y futuro que se debe afrontar cara a cara con la propia alma. Es paz, enojo y felicidad con tu ser. Es simplemente tu puro FOLKLORE

    this album is certainly one of the best albums ever written by Taylor, once again she proves to be a brilliant composer with songs with a melancholic tone, but very well written.

    Taylor presents your best version to the world: mature, introspective and profound. In her eighth album she takes a chance and gets it right with everything in the lyrical composition of Folklore. Tracks like epiphany, mad woman and exile take us for a deep dive into melodies and words. A job worthy of all the praise.

    The artistry in the record is beyond everything we've listened from Swift since she crossed over from country to pop music some years ago. Here she goes back to her roots by creating music the best way she knows how to: by herself, with minimal instrumentals and pure inspiration.

    The album has a few good tracks. Not her strongest overall. Cardigan is a weak single. Exile and The 1 are very good songs.

    Amazing body of work. However I wouldn't listen to this album while exercising or trying to pump you up. This album is more for music that you could put at the end of the day while your relaxing. But again, amazing body of work

    The whole album tells a lot of stories in each track that signifies the teenage love triangle that reflects the reality nowadays. Taylor still proves that she can make an art, a whole lot different from her past masters! THE VERSATILITY!!

    Folklore may be Taylor’s best album to date. Taylor really flexed her writing skills lyrically on this album and the connection drawn between songs is incredible.

    Ethereal, visceral, painful, beautiful. This is poetry, and Taylor Swift storytelling at its best but also like we've never seen before.

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.

    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
