    Boring, always the same, no growth, bland and disappointing. Since reputation she started going downhill and she’s really not stopping. Hit rock bottom. Trash.

    Man she is my favorite artist but this album is SO BORING. I tried several times to listen to some of the songs and they were so boring I couldn't even get through them. every other album of hers has been great, this is a huge letdown. The only songs I like are The 1 and Peace.

    It's really bad - sounds like offbrand indie. Almost the entire album is so forgettable, there's not a single identifiable feature that makes "good".
    Only good songs are: exile (solely because the harmony is great), the 1 (has a few good lines) and august (there's a certain feel to it).
    Cardigan sounds like someone used a neural net on a set of folk albums

    I've been a huge fan of Taylor Swift since 2006, 2007 and I gotta say, the artistic, musical journey she's been on as an artist has been nothing but amazing. Her discography includes such a wide variety of genres, sounds, emotions, styles and she pulls off almost every one of the new directions she's tried.

    Longevity, a highly successful one at that, for artists is the most important but difficult thing and only the greatest of artists keep going strong, keep innovating, keep developing and keep creating new artistic works even after more than a decade in the limelight.

    Some of the greatest, current artists I consider in this category, for me, are Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West and, of course, Taylor Swift.

    I strongly recommend the new album "folklore" to all who love music and anyone who loves to be moved by and touched by music.

    An absolute gem, it is.    … Expand

    such a great record.
    not a single skip.
    more personal, more genuine than ever, even though a lot of songs aren't even about her own life.

    this is taylor swift proving once again why she deserves all the love she receives, and the superstar status she earned.

    Folklore is a near perfect record using stripped down, Lofi instrumentation to make T Swift seem more relatable and down to earth as she tackles isolation and past regrets in a very 2020 way.

    A trip through the soft air of a summer you never lived. A movie you watched ten years ago that's about making a film. Imagine tales of lost clothes, friends in the sea raging and ghosts, cheating on the love of your life and being cheated on.

    Taylor Swift's most mature, cohesive album in her decade and a half career. In an era of singles, Folklore is an album that demands to be listened to as such. Listen to it completely in one sitting. You won't be disappointed.

The other part of the songs are belly button staring, stuttering and boring, for example illicit affairs. Too bad Tailor wasn't advised well on selecting songs.

    The musical accompanimentation is hugely underwhelming. I dont care if this album was produced in Lockdown, with limited resources. It just sounds very bourgeois, uninspired and flat. Tailor should have worked with a producer like Daniel Lanois, somebody who is able to create a monumental musical body.    … Expand

    the siner's 8th album reveals a new facet of the songwriter side of Taylor swift, as well as gently blending with the calm and minimalikst sound that accompanies.

    Um álbum que veio como um refresco para 2020, intimista, com excelentes composições, um visual lindo e o clipe de "Cardigan" mostrou mais do que Taylor Swift está preparando para essa nova era. Amei o que ela nos entregou, com muito carinho e uma conversa com os fãs.

    Taylor falha em tentar fazer um álbum bom! E pela primeira vez lança um álbum sem grandes musicas! Apenas Canções que pedem ser cantadas por qualquer um!

    Nada novedoso de la Taylor. Totalmente monótono y aburrido. Ni una canción esta para quedarse no ser hit. Bai.

    Excelente trabajo, la manera de contar historias en cada una de las canciones es asombroso.

    A masterpiece. Each song take you to another world with a beautiful voice and a simple but very effective production. This is exactly what we needed in a time like this. A perfect album, the best surprise of the year. Each song just demonstrate why Swift is the best songwriter of the last year's.

    Very monotone album. It also shows the lack of vocal training. Sometimes you can’t even tell when one song ends and the next starts because most of them sound the same.

    Folklore nos trae de vuelta a una Taylor Swift más comprometida con sus letras, donde se muestra una sensibilidad y honestidad hacía sus sentimientos. Sin embargo, la producción del álbum puede llevar a ser monótona.

    Taylor es una artista muy pero muy sobrevalorada y con este álbum se confirma, a mi punto de vista es su peor álbum. Lo único lindo son sus letras pero el sonido, las melodías y su voz se me hizo monótono.

    Me parece un album aburrido. Me gusta el género alternativo pero creo que este album no destaca en absoluto la voz de taylor y los instrumentales me parecen lentos y sin personalidad.

    It is boring and all the song seems the same, nothing innovator. This is a desperate effort to do something this quarantine

    Taylor Swift has always been honest heartfelt artist writing stories and singing songs about life and all it's joys and heartbreaks Folklore is no different with it's collection of songs that shown she has grown as a artist

    Es un álbum donde Taylor vuelve a demostrar su madurez musical luego de Lover pero esta vez logra crear una atmósfera diferente a través de la creación de personajes y como se hilan entre las canciones. Se siente como un álbum arriesgado pero a la vez se siente como una hegemonía de sus proyectos anteriores, es increíblemente asombrosa la manera en la que conecta cada punto de su persona.Es un álbum donde Taylor vuelve a demostrar su madurez musical luego de Lover pero esta vez logra crear una atmósfera diferente a través de la creación de personajes y como se hilan entre las canciones.

    This album was so unexpected but it's worth it. This is a stark contrast to 2019's Lover, which was good but can come over as saccharine. This album is very mature and shows the strength of Taylor's songwriting skills. It has shown artistic growth and evolution. Without doubt Album of the Year. Best songs are exile, illicit affairs and mad woman.

    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.
