    A great combination of Swift's past, present and future, bringing sounds already nostalgic while including brand-new sounds for Swift. Lyrically and visually this is one if Taylor's best eras, and fans will remember it forever.

    It's a return to a familiar sound for Taylor, but less about commercial, in your face pop and more about lyrical intimacy. It's a masterpiece in the imagery that it evokes. It's a slower burn that hooks you in more with each listen.

    Midnights marks Taylor Swift’s grand return to electronic pop. The shift to this sound back from alternative is done masterfully. Highlights of the album are definitely Labyrinth and Lavender Haze. The quirkiness in the choruses of songs like Bejeweled and Anti-Hero is a bit much. Overall, a strong pop album.

As a swiftie myself, the excruciating wait was beyond worth it, proving that after all these years, Taylor is still a Mastermind, Bejeweled with diamond mines of inspiration, and story writing skills who resemble the ones of the greatest authors of all time. She's arguably a modern-day counterpart to Shakespeare. I do understand that this complex album is not everyone 's cup of tea, with initial reactions resembling the ones during the release of reputation. Similarly, this marks another striking comeback into "Pop", even though one may argue it differs from her previous albums of the genre, such as 1989, reputation and Lover. Surely, her voice and songwriting skills have matured since with the unexpected release of Folklore and Evermore, but the old Taylor is not dead, and will continue to surprise us with her genius mind for ever and evermore...

    It's OK. There's no denying her talent and I certainly wouldn't call this album a miss, but it's relatively boring compared to Lover or Reputation. "Lavender Haze" and "Karma" are the best tracks here IMO. Mad respect to her though as an artist. She's great.

But after how incredibly perfect Folklore and Evermore were, I think I just expected... more, from Midnights.

    The songs on Midnights don't feel as emotional or as lyrically-impressive as the songs on Folklore and Evermore were, and yet the songs on Midnights also don't feel as catchy or powerful as the songs from Taylor's albums before Folklore were. I'm sure that relistening to the album in the next few months will make me appreciate it more, but right now, it doesn't really feel like an upgrade over her past albums. And that's not necessarily a bad thing; after all, the standard of Midnights is still high. I just personally hoped for something stronger from her 10th studio album.

    It allows Swift to do what she has always wanted: make an album for its own sake that is received primarily as a work of art instead of a commercial entity or tabloid fodder.

    It is very good. ... There are no major missteps within the album, although not everything works as well as the album’s brightest spots.

    While her 10th album doesn’t make instant classic status like 1989, and Evermore and Folklore remain her masterpieces, it is still an understated, beguiling look into the mind of one of the biggest pop stars of our age.
