    As a fan, I'm not sure if I really liked it. There are EXCELLENT songs (Midnight rain, Maroon, Lavender Haze, Karma, You're on your own, kid), however some of these tracks sound quite the same. Still enjoyed 90% of the album, just disappointed with this one-note production mixed with enhancing lyrics.

    Best album of the year. Taylor's comeback to pop music was AMAZING and she knew what she was doing with "Midnights". She is the moment.

    Garbage is a kind word to describe MIDnights, but respect to tasteless teenage girls for breaking every single record known to mankind.

    Mature, Raw, Honest, Mysterious. Smart storytelling and interesting lyrics wrapped in great beats and atmospheric sound

    Midnights is, without a doubt, one of the best albums Taylor has even written. How she tells her story and still makes the listener relate to it in a way that only she can do is impeccable. Every song is lyrically appealing and profound. She's opening herself in a way she has never done before and it's beautiful.

    Imagine being on your 13th studio album, releasing 20 new tracks and breaking the world to listen to that. That’s a f***ing legacy!

    este es sin duda uno de los mejores trabajos de swift, las letras y los instrumentos son geniale, obviamente no es mejor que folklore, pero si que sabe complacer a sus fans con buena música

    Surprising, deep, interesting and wonderful.

    The first time I listened to the immediate, explicit, release and hoped for a clean version. Now I only listen to the clean 3 a.m. album. While I enjoy every song on the clean album, I do have favorites. Yet my favorites are subjective so I hope people will listen to the entire album multiple times, as I did, and love it. The lyrics are    Surprising, deep, interesting and wonderful.

    O álbum está fraquinho, nenhuma música que "rebente" com tudo! Melodias muito parecidas...
    É bom para por de fundo no dia a dia.
    A Taylor está muito genérica!!!

    Buenos sonidos, buenas historias y líricas, Taylor Swift siempre se destaca por esa habilidad que tiene para crear historias y plasmarlas en un álbum, tal vez pudo haber dado más si pero no sé queda corto y no decepcionó.

    more like MIDnights amirite? pretty boring & played it very safe. the whole album seems like discography filler. 1989, you’ll be missed.

    Although a combination of her previous pop albums Taylor does it again making something great. It is a concept album reflecting on sleepless nights scattered throughout her life so it makes sense to have a combination of her other albums sounds.

    A very personal, vulnerable album with funky, dark, pop sounds. Amazing body of work and unlike anything I've heard

    Eu amei o jeito que a Taylor conseguiu fazer uma mistura de todos os seus álbuns e mesmo assim fazer um trabalho linear e coeso, o álbum não é cansativo e nem arrastado, quando você menos espera você já está na primeira faixa de novo, as letras são incríveis e te fazem sentir o que ela quis dizer, mesmo após as faixas da "3am version" o álbum se manteve único e memorável, confesso que tiveEu amei o jeito que a Taylor conseguiu fazer uma mistura de todos os seus álbuns e mesmo assim fazer um trabalho linear e coeso, o álbum não é cansativo e nem arrastado, quando você menos espera você já está na primeira faixa de novo, as letras são incríveis e te fazem sentir o que ela quis dizer, mesmo após as faixas da "3am version" o álbum se manteve único e memorável, confesso que tive medo de não gostar, já que pensei que o álbum poderia ir para um caminho muito alternativo, e acabar ficando ruim e vazio, mas a Taylor conseguiu inovar de um jeito que não ficasse tão forçado, um álbum perfeito para a fase atual da sua carreira.… Expand

    The best album by Blondie! The sweety pop on melody's make me feel so good. Taylor is the best compositor by her generation and it have to be appreciate

    I’ve been her fan since 2009, but this is not her best work. Unlike many others, I can’t name more than two songs that I enjoyed listening to in this album. It just sounds dull and boring overall.

    my favorite album by her, definitely has a 1989 vibe which in my opinion was her best album before midnights


    favorite track: you’re on your own kid


    least favorite: vigilante ****

    The album is such a new refreshing sound , with same poetic lyrics that truly touches the heart every track has a unique and different voice, her gelly pen lyrics used to be cringe a little however in this album she just handled it beautifully and on point . and most importantly she’s finally making hits again we missed that .
    Lived up to my expectations

    An excellent and consistent pop record that proves swift’s versatility and ability to go trough many musical landscapes without losing her essence.

    The music industry has striked again. I absolutely love this album. Couldn’t thank Taylor more for creating it. My top three are maroon, vigilante **** & you’re on your own, kid but there are absolutely no skips on the album!!!

    I was very dissappointed. This coming after Folklore and Evermore was shocking.
    Bad production and cringy lyrics to the point you struggle to even finish listening to the album.

    Si soy franco, no es un mal álbum, pero creo que está lejos de superar al menos a su top 3 de su discografía, las pistas suelen tener una melodía y letra repetitiva vista anteriormente en sus otras obras al punto en donde puede llegar a aburrir.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is absolutely beautiful. Snow on the Beach with Lana del Rey making back vocals make a feeling so unique at all ( and for thosedon'tknow, Lana make other back vocals, since 2018 as fas I know). Sweet Nothing it is almost a hug in my feelings. Anti-Hero make me feel represented in an tragicomic way but super well-designed. Great album, worth every song!… Expand

    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.
