Sometimes we can get in our own way when it comes to friends, by twisting and villainizing people in our minds. But in the end friendship really is so important, and we ought to remember we're all just like each other. This album is an incredibly powerful exploration of that theme. In addition to the poignant writing, uh, yeah, every single song on this album is a banger. All of them. Excellent writing, excellent production. This is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard.

fantasic and very wbolesome and powerful

This track did not excite me and I think there are other songs that do the same trick better. Pleasant enough though

This album really speaks to me. It is the right mix of stank-face-worthy noisy stuff and melodic pop-adjacent songwriting, plus some really creative textures and lyrics that will put a big dumb smile on your face. In other words, it's fun, it's sweet, and it's crispy and crunchy. I absolutely love it

More than anything, I am perplexed that Taylor and her people chose to hide a mildly enjoyable album behind an extremely boring one. This second half is alright and gets Taylor some of her credibility back. The songwriting is more clever, and the production is fuller and less bland (thanks Aaron Dessner!). I gotta take off a point or two for that 1830s lyric alone, though. Jesus. I'll even go as far as to say she pulls off the grand theft auto line here, but I can't let that 1830s line ... read more

SCABBY THE RAT!
Rest in peace, Steve.

It’s nice to think this album would’ve been great if it had been finished. I have to evaluate it as is, though, and it doesn’t do much for me. I had hoped it would especially considering how deeply Grace affected me. Might have to give this another shot at some point

Seriously, there's other shoegaze, and there's even other great shoegaze. But this is something else. The sonic textures on this album are really so creative and special here. I feel like the sounds are burrowing into my head and scrambling my brain, but in a nice way. It boggles the mind to think of what might be going on in the signal chain. This is the kind of thing that reminds you of the endless possibilities when it comes to music and sound.
