    Taylor Swift's new album "Midnights" exists so that the word "cryptic" has a definition. With sounds that seem to walk between Reputation, Lover and Folklore, but with an original, innovative and experimental touch in Taylor; and the lyrical quality that is never lacking. This is, without a doubt, one of her best albums, and I could bet on this one for the title of "Album of the Year".Taylor Swift's new album "Midnights" exists so that the word "cryptic" has a definition.

    This album is fantastic. It has all the best production aspects of 1989, reputation, and Lover, as well as the lyricism of folklore and evermore. Would've, Could've, Should've and Lavender Haze are the standouts right now, but all the tracks are great. It's also her 10th album after over 16 years in the industry and the fact that it's this good is insane.

    Taylor once again proves that she's her only competition. She doesn't have to prove anything at this point, she's just creating art for the sake of it. The bonus 7 tracks are simply a cherry on top. Her willingness to share the whole creating process with us is one of a kind. She comes back to pop after her venture through other genres and constructs a new standard for music all on her own. Again.

    Great album This seems like a mix of 1989, Reputation and Lover. I like the concept, and the lyrics are top tier (not as good as Folklore ones but still amazing). I was VERY excited for SOTB for the Lana collab, but she appeared 15s and not as main vocals; the song was boring and nothing was shown up.
    Highlights: Lavender Haze, Maroon, Mastermind
    Worst: Snow on the Beach

    I really enjoyed Red, Folklore, and Evermore and going into this optimistically, I was extremely disappointed. A lot of the lyrics and tones of voice were corny and overly sophisticated for no reason. Pretty boring album, the only reason I’m not putting a zero is because Labyrinth was good and Lavender Haze was tolerable.

    Taylor Swift's worst offering yet.

    There are only two songs I have any recollection of after listening (Anti-Hero & Karma) and the rest are either unmemorable or sound the same (or both). The lyrics sound like she put her discography, some words she thought sounded nice, profanity, and some pop culture references into EI and this is what popped out. It's cringy and incoherent and she uses    Taylor Swift's worst offering yet.

It's cringy and incoherent and she uses too many vocal effects. It sounds like she both hates herself and is obsessed with herself and revenge and desperately wants you to think she is a badass. There are many cringy lyrics such as "Karma is a cat purring in my lap" and "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill." One would hope these were cheeky songs, except she sounds like she is trying to be sensual. I'm not a Taylor-hater by nature either. I was a fan for the majority of her career but this is all the worst elements of her music put together and amplified. Listening to this album truly felt like she was trying to see if she could put out terrible music and still dominate the charts and have critical acclaim due to her name-powet. It is a cringy and disappointing offering.    … Expand

The melodies go absolutely nowhere, vocal melodies are so boring and the production is plain, there’s no vocal range, Taylor stays in the same register the entire time, lyrics are not so great either, throwing in a few big words doesnt necessarily make a song good, feels like her tackiest juvenile lyrics yet. It doesnt sound like a taylor swift album. Snow On The Beach is decent and anti hero is a grower but thats it. Not one good hook or amazing bridge something she is very well known for. The songs just sort drag on, like you are waiting for something to happen and it just doesnt. She used Lana as a selling point and she barley sung on the song apart from one line. Its like jack told her 'hey go read some monotone poetry' and write lyrics like that and I’ll do some boring synth work over the rest. It’s basically sounds like a bad jack antonoff album to me, not a Taylor swift one. I think she needs to stop working with him, hes boring and doesn’t challenge her and most of his stuff all sounds the same. I don’t know how swift can go from writing songs like Dear John on her own at 19 to whatever this mess is, like I expected hard hitting lyrics the way she describe this album but to me it sounds like something a semi decent 19yr old pop singer today would write. If any other artist released this I wouldn’t have listened to it, and if any other artist released this I doubt they’d be getting the same hype. It feels like nothing but favouritism to me at this point, anything she does gets praised no matter if its good or bad, anyone who dares gives her constructive criticism is deemed a hater and that’s the problem critics are afraid of getting blacklisted or attacked by her or her fans and when you have an entire fandom that are yes people there is zero room for growth. Overall an underwhelming album that isn’t that enjoyable to listen to and something that is forgettable, I’ve listened to it over and over the past day and not one lyric or melody has stuck or played in my head, something that always happens with a swift album and this is coming from a swiftie since 2007.… Expand

    Instrumentally there is nothing to discuss other than a basic drum machine, vocally there isn't many hooks or melodies to really draw you in. It's a very lyrically focused album, but unless you're already a Taylor Swift fan there isn't much to keep you around to really listen to those lyrics.

    Let's get straight: it's not her best album.
    There's bops in the album like Lavender Haze, Vigilante **** or Karma, but going between bopbs and ballads doesn't match and doesn't work for long time. We need to understand that this is not an invented story, this is Taylor's life so the fairytale lyrics from Folklore and Everemore can be separated from this album. It still feels geniuine and    Let's get straight: it's not her best album.

It still feels geniuine and different from her other works, this is Taylor most risky job 'till now and we're here for that.    … Expand

    This album is essential. Just using her own previous albums as an example - it combines the incredible lyricism of Speak Now/Folklore, the pop feels and beats of 1989/Lover, and the edge we all love from Reputation. It's truly the most complete work and its overall amazing.

    O álbum tem uma temática interessante, além de trazerem momentos do pop da era dourada, como em 1989 logo acredito que esse álbum pode ser sim considerado um o vencedor do Grammy Album of Year.

    it’s not a good album. the sound of it is weak, it feels more of a re-recording other than new record and music. the genre is pop but it doesn’t feel like it meant to be pop, more of a trashy and disparaging intention of all of the producers on this record. the lyrics are not good in any way. personally, I didn’t understand why Taylor was trying to say, she used of those “fancy” words thatit’s not a good album. the sound of it is weak, it feels more of a re-recording other than new record and music. the genre is pop but it doesn’t feel like it meant to be pop, more of a trashy and disparaging intention of all of the producers on this record. the lyrics are not good in any way. personally, I didn’t understand why Taylor was trying to say, she used of those “fancy” words that have no meaning when putting them together. if that’s supposed to be a concept album, that’s not the way you do it. for example, “folklore” is a beautiful concept album that tells different stories, imaginary stories, that you can feel connected to. sonically folklore is better, it’s feels fresh, exciting, sometimes sad but it’s entertaining and a replay worthy album.

    “midnights” has nothing to do with all that.    … Expand

    I really love the aesthetic of this album considering it's her 10th album and I am very exited for the era of this visual album. It's like a mixture of 1989, reputation, Lover, folklore and evermore. I really loved the sound it's catchy and not too bland. I think this might be her best album era if you are a long time fan since the beginning.

    Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff and the other Collaborators put everything they’ve learned so far into this great album. Jack’s amazing production and Taylor’s beautiful songwriting and vocals seem to be a combination of all of their previous works. This album reminds me of the best parts of Red, Reputation, Lover and Melodrama.

    this is literally the worst album of the decade. the lyrics are terrible, and in many songs they are just not connected and do not make any sense. she just tries to seem smart, but even using a dictionary does not help her much. the self-repeating with the music from the old albums is terrible. did you seriously repeat tunes from old albums? go finish your career. i am already not talkingthis is literally the worst album of the decade. the lyrics are terrible, and in many songs they are just not connected and do not make any sense. she just tries to seem smart, but even using a dictionary does not help her much. the self-repeating with the music from the old albums is terrible. did you seriously repeat tunes from old albums? go finish your career. i am already not talking about the fact that she does not change her sound.

    Uninspired tracks with sloppy writing. Only few of the songs actually sticks, the rest feels like fillers with the same cottage core production that only her hardcore supporters pretend to like. 2/10

    This album is so good the way she used her passed sleepless nights to make this masterpiece of a an album. Lavender Haze is a great starter for an album You’re on your own kid is such a beautiful song it got me to tear up. The bridge in Mastermind made relate to much because I didn’t have any friends in school.

    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.

    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.
