| Topic | Rank the Tracks Week 62: Taylor Swift's Folklore (+ Hotel California results) |
| CasanovaZelos 05/14/22 12:31:39 PM #32: | I think part of why this and Evermore vibe with me more than most of the earlier Taylor Swift albums is the presence of Aaron Dessner as a producer. There are several songs here which sound like a perfect midpoint between Swift and The National - and as someone who prefers the latter, this works great. I do agree this feels longer than it should, and the front half feels notably stronger. Nevertheless, it casts Swift in a more mature light. Additionally, its somber mood helps solidify its place as one of the leading COVID response albums - not that it directly acknowledges the pandemic, but its sparse atmosphere feels like a direct reflection of those first few months in lockdown. And even if it could stand to lose a few tracks, the top half for me here are all great.
