Taylor Swift | reputation | November 10th, 2017

Some overall thoughts and my own track by track review

This doesn't sound like a "taylor swift" album and I'm still unsure how i feel about that. She's trying something different and experimenting in her sound which says something but part of me can't take it seriously. I think it'll grow on me though.

Ready For It - song has grown on me a lot. Think I would like it a bit more if it wasn't a Taylor Swift song. Definite bop though. 

End Game - this song's cute I guess.  Grew on me as the song went on but doesn't sound like a Taylor song

I Did Something Bad - Ok a bop but some of the lyrics are cringy. Love that post chorus. 

Don't Blame Me - digging this one and the "soul" vibe. 

Delicate - i was bopping by end tbh

Look What You Made Me Do - I feel about this song the same way I feel about Green Light. I LOVE the verses but the chorus sounds out of place next to them. Weak lead single imo.

So It Goes... - Similar feelings as End Game

Gorgeous - lyrics are kinda bad but it's kinda cute at the same time

Getaway Car - I like this song. I'm pleased she works with Jack a lot more on this album. Reminds me a bit of OOTW. One of my favorites so far. 

King of My Heart - Kind of over produced

Dancing With Our Hands Tied - Don't get the hype for this one tbh. 

Dress - boring

This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - Bop. One of my favorites

Call It What You Want - same feelings as End Game and So It Goes...

New Year's Day - Classic Taylor right here. Album highlight.

I didn't want to write my thoughts on Reputation until I had a couple of days to listen, and now that I have, I just wanna say that I'm so fucking happy with the result ny3

 

Reputation was not as INSTANT as 1989 but it grows on you HARD. Listening to this album has been an EXPERIENCE. Like, I literally can't get the album out of my head right now.  The first thing that comes to mind when I wake up in the morning are Reputation lyrics rip2  Is it better than 1989? Probably not, but it's still damn great and easily my favorite album of the year. 1989 was just TOO good of a pop album, so the follow up was gonna get criticized no matter what. 

 

What I'm loving most about Reputation are the darker lyrics, themes, and aesthetic. As a Gaga stan, I tend to enjoy "darker" and "edgier" eras. The Reputation aesthetic fits right in with my personality and I've never related to Taylor as much as I do now ny3
