The board's server will undergo upgrade maintenance tonight, Nov 5, 2014, beginning approximately around 10 PM ET. Prepare for some possible down time during this process.
Honestly, I don't see this album hanging around too long... it's her Chemtrails over the Country Club

I don't really know much about Taylor, but I was listening to their latest songs and they reminded me of the Haim sound. Taylor was inspired by the sisters?
I've only listened to the record once (and I haven't listened to 3am yet). I think I really love this album. But somehow I also agree that it's staying power is capped, oddly.
If I'm totally honest, I found myself more pulled in and focused on my first listen of this than I did on the previous two. I think Taylor's big strength is lyrics/storytelling. And I never find myself to compelled to put on Folklore or Evermore. I just never want to listen to them. But I think a big part of that is that I haven't ever listened to them with headphones. I've never moved round my listening. I haven't spent much time with the lyrics.
This new one I did listen to on headphones, while walking around (which, much like Moon Shaped Pool, is the best way to listen to this) and I really keyed into the words. Which might be why my first impression of this is so much stronger than the previous two -- and I like the previous two a lot, to be clear.

Late to the party and not a dedicated fan or anything, but overall this is my favorite album by her. It's like Diet Carly Rae Jepson? Production is fun, and I like how the overall vibe is mellow and not in my face. Will spin this at least a few more times.
