Apr 18, 2024Stunning. .... Tortured Poets has the intimate sound of Folklore and Evermore, but with a coating of Midnights synth-pop gloss.

Apr 22, 2024In Swift’s capable hands, even the deepest moments of despair are transmuted into songs which resonate with emotion and genuine insight.

Apr 22, 2024Ultimately, this may be Swift’s most Swiftian album: the unhappiness profound, the details generous, the lessons absorbed.

Apr 23, 2024Throughout, she marches from truly great lyricism that is on par with the very best of her contemporary idols and peers to unfiltered writing that leads to more ridicule on TikTok than engagement with the listener. Musically, the project is also split between deeply engaging material that is her best yet, while the main album at times just seems too homogenous for its own good in locked in mid-tempo and synth-pop.

Apr 25, 2024While the feelings here are melodramatic and overexpressed, sometimes to the point of ridiculousness, this also has some of Swift’s best work, and much of the best pop music ever made.

Apr 19, 2024What’s hollow about The Tortured Poets Department is that the real torture is just how unlivable these songs really are.
