    I just think Taylor could have done better is all. But I still don't think a bad album has its essence that only Taylor gives to his songs, personally it is not the best he has given us but not the worst

    Álbum de la década. Swift prueba una vez más que es capaz de reinventarse las veces que sean necesarias para explotar toda su mente y darnos arte.

    Es el albúm del año, 'Folklore' es un testimonio de las habilidades de taylor, este album es inteligente y sensible, es la muestra de que la paz no está siempre en la calma, un album brusco con sonidos angelicales, este albúm es todo lo que necesitamos en momentos tan duros.

    I had high expectations for this album. I love slower and personal songs, but this album is very repetitive. She could have explored more with the melodies, specially in the chorus. I still appreciate her for taking risks and releasing an album like this, with great lyrics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Seu pior álbum lançando até agora , nada surpreende mais , não inova. Além de suas músicas serem repetitivas e bobas . Taylor tem que se esforçar mais para surpreender, parar de ficar no óbvio , se ariscar mais . E uma artista muito talentosa, mais está ficando sem ideias , tem que inovar mais . Expand

    Incredible album. It has a completely different sound that any of Taylor Swift's previous albums, yet it's such as good as them. It's the opposite of her previous album "Lover" which just shows how talented she is. The album is filled with songs with a nostalgic sound, great lyrics and amazing production. It's, by far, her best album.

    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.
  3. 60
    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.
