    An album full of love at first listen bops and haunting grower songs. It is absolutely impressive how an artist ten albums into her career can create such quality body of work. Undoubtedly one of her best pop albums to date.

If you want an idea of what this album sounds like... I would say that it is a combination of 1989 and Reputation. This work really was worth the wait. Expand

    Taylor tem se superado cada vez mais a cada lançamento, e com midnights não foi diferente. Faixas como Maroon, Snow on the Beach e Labyrinth foram na minha opinião as melhores do álbum, e a escolha de Anti-Hero como single com toda certeza foi uma das melhores já feita. Uma verdadeira obra de arte !

    Midnight brings me back to the dazzling synth-pop of Taylor Swift’s old albums like '1989' and 'Reputation,' with lyrics caught between a love story and a revenge plot. However, the new vibe combine with her exellent voice and musical instrument usage makes the difference of an wonderful album.

    Although I'm quite ambivalent about the whole miss Swift's persona, especially since her foray into politics (her silence on the subject was merciful, and by no means "deafening").

There is an irony here, too - like the guest appearance of the incomparable Lana del Rey (who made her career on "that 1950sAlthough I'm quite ambivalent about the whole miss Swift's persona, especially since her foray into politics (her silence on the subject was merciful, and by no means "deafening"). Still, she's a very fine songwriter, with some memorable lyrics and decent melodies. There is an irony here, too - like the guest appearance of the incomparable Lana del Rey (who made her career on "that 1950s s***" that supposedly is expected from Swift). Overall, it's an enjoyable listening experience with the now-familiar Jack Antonoff's glossy production. A little more humility and self-reflection wouldn't go amiss though. Expand

    Midnights' release catapulted Swift into another record-breaking era that would solidify her status as a formidable singer-songwriter and producer for the nth time.

    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.
