Taylor Swift - folklore (July 24, 2020) Album • Page 13

All of her albums tend to run a liiiiiiiittle long imo

 

Also surprised that the single Lover didn't go platinum.

 

I would pay an extra like $5-$10
for an option where the vinyl is packaged with all of the prints

 

Yes. Was thinking the same thing. A big lyric booklet that featured each shot. Who knows, maybe we’re getting that and don’t know it yet.

 

I had planned to only buy one copy of the vinyl, but one copy with shipping came out to ~$38 after tax and two copies came out to just over $53 sooooo I went with two. In the Woods and In the Weeds for me.

Regarding personal rankings:

1. RED
2. 1989
3. Lover
4. Speak Now
5. Reputation
6. Fearless
7. Self Titled

Red and 1989 are far and away at the top for me. Lover is a distant 3rd. I’d flip SN and Rep depending on my mood.

I didn’t get heavy into Taylor until Speak Now dropped, so the first two have never quite connected with me the way the others have.

 

I think she challenged herself to do exactly that writing this album. Maybe she felt a little friend jealousy seeing Ed Sheeran have a "first dance" song.

 

1. Red
2. Lover
3. 1989
4. Speak Now
5. Fearless
6. Taylor Swift
7. reputation

 

Instead of ranking albums we should adjust all her albums to 13 song tracklists.

 

what do you think I'm doing at work right now (but wasn't planning to share with the thread, haha)

format: 1-13 + 3 target bonus tracks

 

song came out just a couple months after our wedding, but it would have been ours for sure if it was already out.

 

I'm listening to 3 of her records today for the first time. I know you are all eagerly waiting my list later.

side note "The Last Time" is so fucking good

 

Hey everyone we get the T Swift indie/folk record (I mean I’m assuming, v v educated guess) we’ve been wanting in exactly 10 hours.

 

Also.. Taylor covering "Conversation 16" would fucking own

 

for me, this is really easy to do with Red, rep and Lover. The other albums are basically already 13 tracks anyway

 

Fans think it's either her brother Austin or boyfriend Joe Alwyn.

 

Red
Speak Now
1989
Lover
Fearless
Self-Titled
Reputation

But the top four are all-timers for me, so it's a matter of just putting them after Red and ahead of Lover.

 

Imagine if she toured this in mid-sized theaters with stripped back production and some deep cuts thrown in...

basically fan fiction but I’d pay so much for that

 

If we are ranking full albums, front to back, Red gets pulled down further for me by a lot of songs I don't like. The highs are some of the highest, but the lows are terrible.

I'd be in for $150

 

I do think 1989 is probably "better" than Speak Now (which has a few things that haven't aged real well), but Speak Now means a lot more to me personally.

 

Getting harder to imagine Lover Fest happening at all with a new album, continued negative outlook regarding COVID, and her back-catalog re-recording coming down the pipeline.

1) 1989
2) Red
3) rep
4) lover
5) fearless
6) speak now
7) s/t

I love rep. Despite the technical misses, there is a real emotional rawness to some of those songs that did not carry over all the way to Lover.

 

1989
Red
Fearless
Speak Now
Reputation
Lover
Self Titled

I could flip reputation and lover back and forth though.
