Taylor Swift - Lover (August 23, 2019) Album • Page 13

I still don't like "King of My Heart." That one has always felt like an undercooked b-side to me.

 

I really tried to get into this new single, but the more I try to listen to it, the more of a chore it feels like. Not my jam.

 

And yet the bridge towards the end is one of the best parts of the album. Weird song.

 

Late to the party but top 3 on Rep is “I Did Something Bad” (#1 really one of the best songs I’ve ever heard), “This Is Why We Can’t”, and “Don’t Blame Me”.

“New Years Day” and “Delicate” would round out my top 5 I think.

 

The prechorus for sure

 

I think king of my heart is the only song in reputation I just have to skip. I don't mind the others but that one is just unpleasant to my ears

 

Don't Blame Me, LWYMMD, I Did Something Bad, Dancing With Our Hands Tied are all pretty bad. My top would be:
New Year's Day
Dress
So It Goes
End Game

I think I'm just now realizing how much less I like Reputation than 1989. New Year's Day rules tho

 

i like reputation a little better than 1989, there's no record-scratching "boy do i hate this" moment that quite rivals the appearance of "bad blood" in a track sequence

on recent revisit, however, i figured out that "clean" is definitely a masterpiece

 

I love Bad Blood now she's truly a wizard

 

I reorder all her albums because her sequencing always sucks and I think it helps some of the weaker songs tbh.

 

OK this is actually the greatest video ever, that is so cute

 

another epiphany, but less recent, more like one i have continually every day for the rest of my life: absolutely ridiculous and wrong that "new romantics" is a bonus track

 

I made a very important meme

 

New Romantics being a bonus track is probably the best example I have of being really confused and shocked that a certain song was a bonus track, like wat I just don't get it

The only song I don't really enjoy on Reputation is King of My Heart and even then I don't hate it. Delicate, Getaway Car and either New Year's Day or ...Ready For It? would be my top 3 from that album

 

So It Goes is the reputation song I dislike the most, and I think Taylor agrees since it's the only song from the entire album she didn't perform on the tour

 

i was v indifferent to "so it goes" on release but it was one of my favorite songs on the record the last time i listened to it. think it just needed time

 

She alternated it with DWOHT some nights

 

oh shit, no way. Well, new theory, she didn't play it because she knew I was there!

 

Still preparing my lawsuit for the eye contact she made with me during Getaway Car

 

"Ready for It" is a song where I really like the chorus and kind of hate the verses.

 

Ready For It is a song literally written for me. I think @Fucking Dustin told me that once

 

her delivery in Ready For It is so weird, but it's a bop

 

Ready For It into I Did Something Bad was a scandalously great way to kick off the tour

 

“Dress” is easily the best song on reputation by about 1,000 country miles. It’s an all timer even if it’s turned into a deep cut. It’s got the best hook, best production, it’s a Taylor Swift song full stop. It’s just an all around stunner, and a pleasant reminder of what she’s capable of.

Followed by Delicate and New Years Day.

There’s a few faceless tracks (Don’t Blame Me, I Did Something Bad). Some messy head scratchers (Ready For It?, Endgame). But a lot of mid tier TS songs. Overall it’s a misstep but I don’t hate it?

“Dress” and “Delicate” will be on every single Taylor Swift playlist I make forever. So that’s a win. They are both in my personal top 10.
