    This album is spectacular. A combination of reputation, lover, and 1989. Hints of Lorde’s “Melodrama” throughout. The production and craftsmanship of each song was perfected by the one and only Jack Antanoff. Lavender Haze, Anti-Hero, you’re on you’re own kid, bejeweled, and karma were fantastic.

    Impeccable lyrics, infectious beats, and the cleverest wordplay. Somehow a service to fans and the general public alike. It’s her most personal record but also her most universal. An incredible listen all the way through.

    Tant attendu, cet album ne m’a pas déçue. En phase de devenir mon album préféré de Taylor que j’adore. Les chansons offrent différents moods, sont toutes différentes et pleins d’émotions. Big up à Karma et Anti Hero que j’adorent de tout mon cœur. Certaines dont je n’attendais rien m’ont définitivement surprise (dans le bon sens) et les “3 a.m. bonus tracks” sont toutes aussi entraînantesTant attendu, cet album ne m’a pas déçue.

A simply perfect album, it starts well from beginning to end, the only possible mistake of the album is that we don't have Lana Dele Rey with lines on the track "Snow On The Beach". Taylor surprises on the track "Vigilant **** with a production never done before. Wonderful compositions, perfect production, simply one of the best albums I've ever heard.… 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.

    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.

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 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

    Taylor has released better albums in the past. This one doesn’t hit the way it should. Just wish this album had what the others did.

    Midnights is the perfect melancholy follow up to Taylor's 2014 album 1989. The maturing lyrics pull the album away from the repetative bubblegum pop becoming more popular in main stream music.

Once again Ms. Swift has proven herself to be a master story teller as she weaves not only words but worlds together. I would highly suggest pouring yourself a drink lying on the floor and allowing every emotion to wash over you as you navigate your way through what is clearly someone else's diary. Midnights has left me completely fulfilled and quite simply hungry for more.… Expand

    Claramente Taylor Swift compro sitios de criticas para que sus reviews sean perfectas a pesar de que MIDNIGHTS es un album aburrido y pretencioso que solo alaban las peluqueras de sus fans que se sienten especiales por escucharla, pero siendo realistas, es un album malo.
    Hay pocas canciones buenas, pero son tan olvidables que no las mencionare.

    Not different from her past records. Bad lyrics and also recycled production.

    More proof that Taylor can't make a listenable album. Even in pop, Taylor is one of the worst mainstream artists we have seen.

    Albúm muito muito bom, Taylor consegue trazer uma lirica bem melhor do que se via no ultimo projeto, não chega a ser melhor que o folklore mas ainda assim é um dos melhores albuns do ano

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

    Terrible disaster, when will paylor swift stop her money offensive? She's lost her aura, it's bloated and boring **** but somehow it's really suitable for midnight hypnosis，Swifts need to understand that idol strength and music level are irrelevant......

    The lyrics feel highly juvenile that sexy baby line is so cringe. Have listened four times already and it’s just straight up bad, she needs to take a long break away and rethink things.

    I wish I could’ve given it a 10. Hey, I wish I could’ve given it a one. But it is undeniably true that Taylor Swift’s lack of ambition with this album, lack of innovation, problems with lyricism… it is almost insulting to the fans.

    This album was very boring. Her voice is bland, and the overall vocals put me to sleep. The only slightly good song is mastermind, but other than that, it sucked. I don’t know why anyone would listen to this album.

    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.
