Best songs on the album for me? Ive listened to the whole thing twice now

Fate of Ophelia, a brilliant opening

Cancelled, is without a doubt my favourite overall song i listened to this one 7 times now!

Life of a showgirl with Sabrina Carpenter is a great closer(although its taylor so we will probably have a whole new 12 songs by this time next week)


But I like Honey, Actually Romantic and Opalite too.

Its a good album!!

[Good King Glennceslas]

Listening now.

Loving Fate of Ophelia

Someone needs to stop Alex Warren and his 6/10 songs and vocals.

stop hating on the masterpiece that is Ordinary



also Alex deserves no hate whatsoever, he grew up on the streets, to the successful artist he is today

[Good King Glennceslas]

Such a great album

It’s a bland piece of shite.

[The Human Santapede]

On the album. It’s ok. Not her best. Father Figure is the best one.

Guardian Review 2 stars out of 5

Taylor Swift: The Life of a Showgirl review – dull razzle-dazzle from a star who
seems frazzled

More startling still is the distinct lack of undeniable hooks and nailed-on melodies.

The album that isn’t terrible: it’s just nowhere near as good as it should be
given Swift’s talents, and it leaves you wondering why.

I’d have to agree with this review. There’s a couple of okay songs, but nothing of major standout like some of her previous work.

[Good King Glennceslas]

I’ve listened to it in full a few times. Really good album. No skips.

[Christmas Dynasnow]

The FT gave it 2 stars as well

seems to be a bit of a theme

the Rolling Stone review is clearly bought - everyone is saying so

…..I’ve only briefly skimmed a few this morning but not listening to the full tracks…I’ll have a proper listen over the weekend when I have more time now…

Her songwriting has always been utterly infantile but at least she usually had the good sense to have it produced and arranged in a listenable way... not sure where Jack Antonoff sauntered off to, but these songs are so dull. I did briefly like the arrangement of "Cancelled!" before it was pointed out it's a ripoff of Lorde's "Yellow Flicker Beat".

Some of these lyrics are career lows for her. She is so permanently stuck in high school mentally and it's embarrassing. I mean:

When anyone called me "sweetheart"
It was passive-aggressive at the bar
And the bitch was telling me to back off
'Cause her man had looked at me wrong

But I'm not a bad bitch
And this isn't savage
But I'm never gonna let you down
I'm never gonna leave you out
So many traitors
Smooth operators
But I'm never gonna break that vow
I'm never gonna leave you now, now, now

Don't make it awkward in second period
Might piss your ex off, lately we've been good
Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should

She is the JK Rowling of the music industry. Weaponising feminism in the most immature and tedious ways.

I ended up giving the album a 3/10 but I think that's because the averages were kind after I gave the opener a 7/10 there were some 2s and even a 0 on here.

Fair play to him.

It still doesn't change that I found his Album to be a 6/10

Sadly, a lot of chart Music at the moment is playing to the lowest common denominator.

Don't get me wrong, I do try to like these types of songs (Taylor Swift ironically is someone I can tolerate more than some in this area of Music) but people like Sabrina Carpenter and Madison Beer are creating songs of torture imo.

Sabrina Carpenter is basically a sex worker … you can guarantee that her elaborate , sexually explicit videos take far longer to make than her simple catchy pop songs with stolen riffs

i haven't liked a single song that Swift has released but i'm not her target audience. I'm sure many will like the new album, and if they do, that's great. Just because i don't get anything from it, doesn't make it bad

if Sabrina Carpenter was a sex worker, then i doubt The Muppets would ask her as a special guest star in their comeback next year (which is confirmed she's set to star in)
