Current Events > So Taylor Swift's new album Lover has been out for almost a week, those of you..

(+) Yeah! (+)

who've heard it, what do you think about it?

I think its a pretty good album with several good songs on it. It starts off strong in the first half and continues to be pretty good until the end, with only two songs i would say being a little disappointing or just ok near the end.
---

I love the sound over all and I think it has a lot of very good, but not great songs.

---

@KainWind Would you say you have any favorite songs or songs you just generally like?

It's an alright album. Taylor Swift's biggest problem, musically, is the same thing it's always been, in that she's super inconsistent. There are pretty good songs on there like Cruel Summer and The Archer, then terrible songs like Me! and Forgot You Existed

trash tbh

i dont like taylor swift, personally and musically wise. however i think its impressive that shes still one of the biggest household names

i was a katy perry fan but she definitely fell of the charts after mid 10s. the new gen is ready for a different kind of music and we see it happening on charts. but swift still reigns

She's this generation's Madonna, just massively even more successful with the records she's made and broken so far in just the 12 & a half years she's been around releasing music and albums.

Right now my favorite is probably Paper Rings. I like all of them though so that could change.

My favorites are probably Afterglow and Cruel Summer. There's lots of good songs to pick from though so, but that's a good thing.

Probably her best album. Her voice is just so perfect on this album.
---

Yeah she sounds really good. Her high voice on I Think He Knows was unexpected.

---

If i had to pick just one song that's my favorite on the album, Afterglow would be my choice.

I really hope she makes it a single, maybe even the next single because it deserves to be highlighted to everyone how good of a song it is.

Probably one of her best songs ever that she's released & i don't want it to be forgotten after her next album comes out or in a few years.

Bump.

Her last song I cared about was shake it off.

Her turn towards pop was a bad move imo.

Initially it boosted her image and popularity but look at her now.

Being a country superstar was more sustainable and had less competition.

She's still popular even if her popularity has faded a little compared to a few years ago.

Ariana Grande might overtake her as the most popular female singer soon, but Taylor's still at that spot for now.

Welp, the streak of her albums debuting with over 1 million units in the first week is over.

After her last 4 albums got a little over a million sales/streams combined in the 1st week of release, Lover didn't sadly.
---

Still haven't listed to the new songs she released. Last I heard was Lover, and I didn't like it.
---

Pop Taylor is horribly inconsistent. False God, Miss Americana, Cruel Summer, The Archer, and Lover are some of her best songs.

Me, I Forgot that You Existed, The Man, and YNTCD are some of her absolute worst

The album is a 6.5/10. Pretty good, but it ain't touching Red, Speak Now, or 1989

Listen to the full album, its good. I'm sure you'll find some songs you'll like if you give it a chance.

What are the catchy uptempo jams on the album?
