If it's Tim Bierman, it'd make sense.

Yeah what’s surprising is that tay tay announced it first


It was announced first, yes, but I think Pearl Jam had April 19th circled and finalized as the release date far before Swift's announcement.

This is really boring. I mean, if you loved the most recent Arctic Monkeys record, you’re going to love this. Word salad, recycled beats and melodies, no great hooks. This is her first misstep. Bummer.


i loved their last 2...so

Yeah, I haven't listened to this new Swift record yet at all, but the last two Arctic Monkeys records were lit!

I can't get #TaylorJamDay to go viral?

I listened to the first four tracks. I like it well enough. Yes there are some recycled, or maybe familiar is the more gracious word, melodic ideas. Certainly, the lyrics aren't breaking any established TS mold. But I find it charming and engaging, so far. Some clever phrases and fun references.

We'll see what the other 47 tracks do to me....

But I'm also not a big fan, really. I didn't even start listening to her stuff until Lover and I didn't start diving deep until Midnights. Hell, I didn't hear 89 or Red in full until a few months ago. So...

After a first listen, i totally understand why this album might be a step down. Feels way too mid tempo, songs seem way too similar sometimes. I admit im not really craving for it, as these days is all PJ all the time, but still i dont remember nothing really grabbing me musically.

I guess the single, Florida!!! and Loml are my favorites and i still need to check out those other songs, that might be very interesting too because its Aaron Dessner producing them.

Ill come back to these songs later in the week to see whats happening then, but so far im not feeling it that much.

Taylor needs to call Finneas and make a very danceable album.

TTPD was not a surprise.
TTPD: Anthology was a second album that was a surprise.
