Segue Myles Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Had a sleepless night, yay for anxiety and stress. Rush- 2112 Rush- Permanent Waves Rush- Clockwork Angels Alter Bridge- The Last Hero Idlewild- 100 Broken Windows Rhapsody- Dawn Of Victory Taylor Swift- Midnights The latest Taylor Swift is interesting. It very much sounds like the follow up to 2019's Lover. A departure from Folklore/Evermore (which I think is a smart move, because you can wear a good idea out). This album felt bland first listen, but it's a real grower. Doesn't sound like she is wanting hit singles. This is a late night album, perfect for a smoke, candles and blankets. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) Taylor Swift- Midnights This is a beautiful album, it reveals more layers with every spin. It doesn't carry the outdoorsy, floral feel of the last two albums, but it certainly channels their depth via the more modern pop approaches of such records as 1989 or Lover. It lives up to its title, it's a beautiful late night record, putting me in mind of Fleetwood Mac's Mirage, Carole King's Tapestry or The Killers Imploding The Mirage as an album that just feels perfect for dark nights and a dash of introspection. I don't think it's her finest work, but it's another worthy release from a great pop singer songwriter.

bluefox4000 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Taylor Swift-Midnights. This is a tough one. it's not the disaster i feared but at the same time........on my third listen.....i wouldn't say to someone "you MUST hear midnights. it's essential Swift" it's a very VERY chill. almost o the point it gets boring. but there are gems are here for sure Lavender Haze Anti-hero Snow on The Beach Midnight Rain Question? Bejeweled But by around song 10.......i'm kinda checked out. the chill vibe winds up making a 44 minute album sound at least an hour. even funnier cause the fans were like "midnights will be a rock albums. yea.....strike out there. it's lover played at half speed. but.......it's not a bad album and i'll let you know in a week or 2 if i will like it better. it's too early. but right know.......7/10.....subject to get better or worse. but... color me mildly disappointed.

Entre_Perpetuo Posted October 21, 2022 Author Share Posted October 21, 2022 Well I haven’t listened to any albums today but I’ve been listening to Haley Williams’ Everything Is Emo podcast and I feel like posting about that. If you haven’t checked it out, it’s more of a prerecorded radio show where Haley picks out a bunch of songs she likes and talks a little about each of them and what they mean to her and emo culture. A lot of stuff I know already and even more stuff that I’m hearing for the first time (American Football really catching my attention…) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super25Smasher Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Since Wednesday: Adventures - Supersonic Home Pollyanna - Slime Polar Bear Club - Sometimes Things Just Disappear Polar Bear Club - Chasing Hamburg Polar Bear Club - Clash Battle Guilt Pride Polar Bear Club - Death Chorus Polar Bear Club - The Redder, The Better EP Taylor Swift - Midnights A few thoughts: Adventures is a side-project featuring a few members of Code Orange. Their sound is much more melodic and upbeat compared to Code Orange. Pollyanna is a great female-fronted band from New Jersey. I discovered then last December, right before I saw them open for one of my favorite bands, State Champs. Slime is their debut album, which came out in June. To me, it sounds like a mix of punk, grunge, and pop. I'm still waiting on the vinyl I pre-ordered. Polar Bear Club is an extremely underrated (IMO) band from Rochester, NY. They're more of a post-hardcore and melodic hardcore band. They have a live album recorded at Rochester Montage Music Hall. I enjoyed the new T-Swift album. I thought it was somewhat darker sonically, and I think that's a good fit for these songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Taylor Swift-Midnights (7/10) a perfectly good album but i'm not jumping up and down. 5 plays in it kinda fees like a minor back peddle after Folklore and Evermore. We've heard do this and frankly a lot better in the past. now. Tremonti-Dust (10/10) needed this. Mick 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taurus Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Finally got around to listening to this and on first listen I'm very impressed, will do an a/b/c comparison of the early 70's US vinyl, the Ryko and this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluefox4000 Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 (edited) The 1975-Being Funny In A foreign Language. Now this is fun throwback pop done exceedingly well. one of the most fun surprises of the year for me. throw some barouge pop in there for good measure. i ought to give this band more attention. i love them everytime i play them Mick Edited October 21, 2022 by bluefox4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Segue Myles Posted October 22, 2022 Share Posted October 22, 2022 Taylor Swift- Midnights Love this album more and more. A superior album to the similar Lover. Start to finish, this is a mature, quietly loud album that bursts with personality, but stays grounded, perfectly suitable for late night listening. I also think it's vocally her most accomplished record to date. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
