    Taylor Swift has delivered excellence with midnights. This album is a masterpiece In a way which is so unique and stunning! it is an independent entity which has certified bops. Not everyone can pull off amazing albums back to back 15 years into their career and 9 albums later.

    Same vocal energy during the whole album, too monotonous. Good production though, with some interesting bases. Lyrics are good in general as usual with Taylor. However I don’t think we find something new, I hope it gets better with the visual concepts.

    Forgettable melodies, childish lyrics, and boring production choices. These three themes are present in the entirety of 'Midnights' (including the 3am edition).

    Some tracks sound unfinished, and most sound boring. While others may have interesting motifs ('Midnight Rain'), they don't go anywhere sonically, ultimately resulting in an unsatisfied listen.

    The 3 am edition, although some better than the 13 original tracks (and this isn't really saying much!), are monotonous compared to the rest of her discography.

    Her worst album to date. There are no highs and only lows. Please, go back to the punchy and reflective pop of 1989.    … Expand

    Loving this. Another masterpiece from this prolific and incredible artist. This emotions run through each song so beautifully. Taylor Swift is so masterful in creating an atmosphere so true to the emotion she is portraying. I just love this, like all of her albums. What a treat.

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...… Expand

    Taylor Swift has yet again proved herself to be an album artist. Never before has she released an album as sonically cohesive as this one.

    The Album ‚Midnights‘ follows a great concept and shows Swift’s pop perfection in creating songs. The songs are stuck in your head even after listening to them once.

    Pop perfection. AOTY material. A skipless album by Taylor, possibly her magnum opus, contending with folklore

    Suite à la sortie de son nouvel album intitulé Midnights, Taylor Swift démontre une fois de plus qu'elle sait s'initier en haut du classement après une incursion dans un univers de la musique pop différente avec un lyrisme complet et un rythme déchaîné.

    I mean this is like the perfect culmination of pop Taylor with the lyricism of folklore Taylor.

    The culmination of Swift’s musical escapades from ‘reputation’ to ‘evermore’. Witty lyricism, incredible production, gorgeous aesthetic. An ‘instant classic’ as Rolling Stone termed it.

    Love you but this is not your best album. I love your hits like blank space, love story, shake it off, you belong with me, look what you made me do or You need to calm down.

    Pop perfection. It might not be everyone's cup of tea but the production is amazing, lyricism is not too sophisticated like in her 2 previous albums. Beautiful.

    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.
