Stunning.
It’s so indescribable. The feeling, the visions, the memories, the visuals that this album gives me. This album is so beyond words.
Y’all don’t like this??? Damn.
If you’re reading this and you can’t decide if you like this album or not, you do. Don’t give into the hype that it’s anything but catchy and full of fun, memorable Electropop—because it honestly is. People will trash Taylor for making something “cringy” and “self-indulgent” but for 1, her songwriting still slaps, and all ‘reputation’ is is vibes, emotion, anger, and bops. And 2, ... read more
+10 for having Cruel Summer
+10 for having Lover
+10 for having The Man (bop I’m sorry)
+1000 for having The Archer
+10 for having Paper Rings
+10 for having Afterglow
+10 for having Daylight
This is such a fun, light, and colorful project. There isn’t a track on here that feels like filler or feels brushed over. As always, Taylor is super cohesive with the sounds she produces that make it into her album, making this album sound like if everything happy in her life was transmutated ... read more
edit 1: 98-->90: rating /10
edit 2: 90-->96... yes I wanted to have a rating /10 but I HAVE to put HER above all these other bitches
it's so fucking good. the storyline, *chefs kiss* fucking cinematic. the vocals the production JUST EVERYTHING GAHSHH
soooo I went to Olivia's concert and, I LIKE THIS ALBUM.
while it seems really adolescent (as its supposed to) and I get why she would think all her songs are bad (as said in 'brutal'), this is still a really catchy and fun album that deserved to go #1 and be the #1 top selling album of 2021. It's catchiness is overpowering and going to the SOUR tour opened up my eyes to how moving, emotional, fun, and gripping *for lack of better words* this album is! Happier is so good, Brutal is too, as is ... read more
New review is coming soon!
———old review———
You must let the clamp do what the clamp does best.
Wow. So BC,NR is back, with another solid fuckin album. DAMN YOU ISAAC WOOD! Just kidding. I haven’t really put ENOUGH thought into reviewing this amazing piece of work, but what I do know is that both FTFT and AFUT are both incredibly solid albums that deserve the hype.
In Ants From Up There, UK post-punk outfit Black Country, New Road settles down ... read more
this is actually...really good
CRASH!, Charli XCX's 5th album, is no HIFN, nor is it a Charli. But it is a good album
.
During the criticism of the rollout of XCX5, Charli announced that she wanted a mainstream album as her last record for Asylum / Warner. That is completely understandable and she DID commit to a Britney-2007-type-betrayed-by-the-industry persona that was a show for us watching her and fit her first mainstream *on her own terms* era really well. I, for one, liked Good Ones a ... read more
It’s amazing and grand and everything people say it is but it’s also long and I can’t wait through all of it.
This is such a beautiful masterpiece.
Standout tracks: imagine (8.0), needy (8.0), NASA (8.0), fake smile (8.0), ghostin’ (10), in my head (8.0), 7 rings (9.0), thank u, next (10), break up with your girlfriend I’m bored (8.0)
Worst track: make up (5.0)
PARADISE.
Standout tracks: What it is (8.0), FOMO (8.0), foreign things (8.0), competition (9.0), event horizon (10)
A good debut. Not in any way “bad”. But, it isn’t as good as wwafawdwg.
Wowie!
This is so appealing. Promises has really beautiful components and it’s a great neoclassical album with an edge. surprisingly, I wasn’t bored while listening to this; which is nice because this is a classical album without vocals / lyrics. A good fraction of this album is the “dun-dun-dun-dun-dun” harp(?) riff(?) over a white-noise-esque sound, but it’s never like “omg when will this be over.” I honestly feel bad rating this because this LP is ... read more
