    She has done it again! She made a pop classic. All the songs including the 7 bonus tracks are beautiful. Specially the album opener lavender haze , 2nd track maroon and vigilante **** are amazing. To describe it better I might say it is the child of 1989 and Lover along with a bit of revenge touch of reputation.

    A beautiful evolution of her pop sound, Taylor really honed her craft to create a dreamy synth/electropop album worthy of her caliber.

    A no-skips album. Her lyrics, as usual, are amazing. So far my only complaint is that I expected Lana del Rey to sing more during Snow on the Beach. However, it's a great song! Other songs that are my favourites (so far) are Vigilante **** Midnight Rain and Anti-Hero.

    This is Taylor's one of the most mature and yet cryptic album to date. The songs are in a beautiful order, it make you think about your and her past from lovely emotions to self-doubt and revenge. In summary Taylor Swift is the Music Industry

    By far her best work of art! She just proved again, that she is not only the songwriter of our generation but also the artist of our generation! Grateful to be alive at the same time as Taylor Swift! For real!

    Yet again, Miss Swift provides an outstanding piece of art. Her collaborating with Jack never fails and the production and lyricism on this album is incrediblee

    Taylor Swift just dropped her tenth studio album, Midnights. Regarded as a concept album about "13 sleepless nights", this album is such a beautifully-curated program, matches the album concept definition. Despite her going back to somewhat biographical topics because of her references to her pasts, the lyricism still feels as relatable as most people do in daily life or, we can say, theirTaylor Swift just dropped her tenth studio album, Midnights.

This body of work also shows Taylor's integrity to make a great sonically-cohesive album (just like 1989/reputation/folklore/evermore), with more mature content and more maximalist than her previous pop albums. Kudos to Taylor, Jack, and team!… Expand

    The album sound was a pleasant surprise as Taylor has chosen to yet again go in a different direction. While you can hear flashes from 1989 and reputation, the overall sound is different from what she did before. It's darker, more experimental. I very much enjoyed it. May she forever keep our interest peaked.

    a classic pop album from Swift. It takes someone extremely talented to go from making folk-acoustic music with lyrical focus to making pop earworms with insane melodies and sick beats

    Honestly, WOW. I was hoping this would be a more mature version of 1989, with a bit of the best parts of Rep./Lover/folklore/evermore & the From The Vault songs, and holy hell: Didn’t disappoint. In fact, TS exceeded expectations with the very “chaotic” drop of 7 additional, fairly lengthy, tracks with the “3am edition.” (Double Album Drop Swifties = winners atm).

    the only songs i like are maroon and question..?. it feels like the same old concept but a more boring but modern knockoff version of Evermore (which is another knockoff version of folklore). im in no way mocking her art like those critics do. just saying it's not for me. the vocal was not in her zone, it was too dull, maybe that's what she's trying to express but its not for me. but thenthe only songs i like are maroon and question..?. it feels like the same old concept but a more boring but modern knockoff version of Evermore (which is another knockoff version of folklore). im in no way mocking her art like those critics do. just saying it's not for me. the vocal was not in her zone, it was too dull, maybe that's what she's trying to express but its not for me. but then there's a million others that love this record and i totally understand them.

    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.
