I thought it was heavily influenced by the sound and feel of Folklore and Evermore: dreamy, ethereal sound throughout. Yes, it has a couple of more modern sounding songs, and there are electronic embellishments, but it is nothing like the abomination of Reputation. Only two songs stood out for me, and neither is particularly catchy (something also shared with Folklore and Evermore). Overall, I think it's a meh-plus album. I will say that listening to Swift swear is like hearing a Frenchman rap. I LOVE REPUTATION I have had my ups and downs with Midnights, but at the moment I am really liking it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Taylor Swift- Midnights I gave this a lengthy break (by my standards). I'm glad I did, I came back to it last night and found it to be a beautiful, beautiful album. Definitely rewards time. There is so much here I connect with. Songs I overlooked upon released really stand out now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The swearing........in listening back to her more recent output. in IS gradually becoming a writing crutch for her. and she needs to pull back from it. like....it's increasing in her music......it really is. Just my opinion and it's not her.....and i think she desperatly wants it to be. but..........no lol it's like miss frizzle on the magic schoolbus making a ganster rap album.

Mick See it doesn't bother me. I feel it is all down to the listeners perception of an artist though. Not everything will work for everyone. This album is certainly only enjoyable in my opinion in a certain mindset. For me, that's anxiety. So if you see me enjoying this I'm probably battling lol, because it soothes me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Savatage- Dead Winter Dead A truly beautiful metal album. I love everything about it. In my opinion Savatage never stepped a foot wrong, but records like this are just stupendously great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even love that song. It was meant to be a statement, and it works for me. That album is one of my top five albums of the 2010s. It could even be my fave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
custom55 Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Washed and waxed two cars Raked leaves Three hour round trip into the mountains to a brewery to score some fine brews Back home and time to enjoy the beer and cook dinner Not a huge Dead fan but I appreciate their music. This album was on during the drive. Winterland 1978 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
