    Bangers after bangers— a stellar feat for Taylor Swift, for someone whose name was painted next with bright lights, showed so much versatility and ingenuity in her 10th album. Maintaining such momentum in this epoch is one for the books and, indisputably, Taylor and Midnights are one of the main topics.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I would describe this as a perfect combination of 1989, reputation, and Lover (with some folklore and evermore on the side, like 'Snow on the Beach' or 'The Great War').

    While I believe the lead single Anti-Hero to be the most qualified to be the lead single (a vast improvement compared to Lover's ME! featuring Panic! at the Disco), the standout track of the great 13 has to be Vigilante **** leaning heavily to the album's reputation influence, giving it this mysterious, dark vibe that is quite different from the other tracks. My favorite has to be Maroon.

    Best Taylor album yet!
    I never thought that there could be something better than 1989, but Taylor really surprised us with this whole new concept. The lyrics, the melodies, her voice, everything is different from what we were used to.
    This album is an instant classic.

    Midnights somehow captures the melodic beats of 1989 and the lyrical genius of folklore and evermore in an album that is in many ways more personal and honest than any work that precedes it. I have to say that this is my favourite album from her, and I'm excited to see wherever she goes to next year.

She memorize her name as one of the most important and significant composers of this century. The profound lyrics combine with Jack Antonoff's production leads the listener to a double inner trip. It's a drowning on Swift' insecurities, happinesses, paranoias, dreamings and everything that happens during a insomnia. The album embraces what's more delicate in human feelings, it's easy to identify with the narratives that's being telled. It's a trip in Swift's mind while we drove into ours. The stories has beautiful and minimal sounds, differents if compared with the other albums. We can found elements of her lifetime as an artist, but all them are matching with maturement and the public listener that grew up with her. It's an album that'll easily connect generations and various types of personalities. Jack Antonoff leading the production has a especial match with Taylor, he has a greatest talent, a power of make big songs with few elements, the atmosfere of the album is reflexive, minimalist, some kind of dream pop and ludic as nights full of stories happening while we lay down our heads at our pillows. This album is one the most beautiful I've heard, I'm completely happy for Taylor's advance. Expand

There’s really no competition, and this album is like a big, sarcastic middle finger to her haters.

    surpassingly good. she is basically telling us to trust the process and to trust her, because when the album leaked and people started giving their opinions about it i was a bit scared, i didn’t know what to expect, not even a bit, but thank god, it’s a masterpiece. sonically, lyrically and vocally. she delivered. it’ll be probably her best pop album to me.

Her capability to take hard moments, hard truths and deep fears and turn them around into great songs with a united concept and cohesive sounds (that are ALWAYS new and experimental in a way that is exciting) and as always amazing lyricism truly makes her the deadliest force in music of the decade. Midnight's synth feel and deeply appealing and thematic visuals make this one of her best albums, and the best album to have come out since her last. Because Taylor Swift is her own competition, nobody else can reach her level. Expand

    Wild, beautiful, and dreamy pop. Poplor at her best for sure!

    There's a randomness to the lyrics that only people who dream vividly can pinpoint but Taylor takes that randomness and ties it back to a feeling, very evident in anti-hero. Made even better with the additional 7 songs on the 3am version.

    A no-skip album! I love the concept of the album! Taylor is such a great songwriter as always. I love the sounds of this album!! Definitely a MASTERPIECE!! SHE'S REALLY A MASTERMIND!! Taylor swift always evolving with her music and I love it. So far my fave song is Lavander haze, Anti-hero, labyrinth, karma, midnights rain and sweet nothing!

    A great pop album from the one of the greatest artist ever. The album is very experimental and darker than reputation.

    Was very worried about listening to it as the responses to the leaks were very negative, but this could possibly be my favourite Taylor swift album, never really been a fan of taylor swift albums on the first listen they usually grow on me but this was amazing if reputation was more raw and honest

    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.
