Taylor Swift - Midnights (October 21, 2022) Album • Page 47

Great War is, well, great

 

Theses new tracks… different vibe from the rest of the album

 

Of course I had to be at work when these tracks dropped

 

I love the drums on this. Got a real lofi bedroom pop vibe in a lot of places. Wouldn’t have been convinced she could pull this off until now. Midnight Rain and Question are both soooo good

 

Bigger Than The Whole Sky is giving Phoebe

I never know if i should listen to an album like this with Dolby atmos on or off

 

This rules

 

“Glitch” is sick, Sounwave did his thing.

 

“Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” sounds like it’s from the evermore sessions. Probably would have been (could have been? should have been?) in my top half of that record too.

 

Alright let’s see which bonus tracks I’ll be mad aren’t on the vinyl

 

currently the deluxe/3am version is digital only

 

Many of these additional tracks sound like leftover folklore/evermore tracks, which I'm cool with

 

I trust Taylor’s Dolby mixes but I don’t trust Jack’s so…

 

Anti-Hero is a classic Swift song and I hope I hear it everywhere all the time. That and Snow are probably my two favorites right now. I like the whole album but my early impression is that I love the first half and an less sure about the second (although Bejeweled and Mastermind rule). Good stuff and this and The 1975 have me geeking out about Jack for the billionth time in like four years.

 

Man, I can't imagine the insane royalties Jack will be getting for all these huge albums he's worked on these last several years, especially these TS albums.

 

just woke up to the news of 7 more songs. will listen soon. in the meantime, someone on Reddit pointed out that the label apparently made the digital booklets for both versions free to download (although only the standard one has lyrics for some reason). Midnights by Taylor Swift

 

yea I mean which songs I love so much haha

 

Ha so the 3am tease was actually something big, that’s wild. I do love that the album is succinct at 13 and these are considered extras. I love a concise, flowing full album with a vibe.

it’s also wild that this is the way to get the most out of streaming numbers, instead of dropping a rerelease in a year like bands used to do.

 

about a quarter of the way through, hella dope
