OreoÀDeux Pronounshe/him Popster for Sale 44,886 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) people on the internet always want to argue in extremes That taylor record didn't earn anything above 75 on mc, nor is it awfull. It is pretty obvious that critics are afraid of Tay's massive fanbase (and I don't blame them), since even her own earlier better albums didn't get the critical recognition that MIDnights did. (I say this as someone that enjoyed the album, but also sees it as one of the weaker records of her discography) It's also interesting that this creates a sort of loop between a popstars commercial success and critical acclaim: they take it out on popstars that have smaller fanbases (sam smith, katy etc.) and it really creates this loop where (extended) commercial success begets critical acclaim.

It's one of the worst albums I've ever heard. There's no way an album with such cringe-inducing lyrics can get acclaimed without massive checks.

lookwhatyoumademedo Popster This Way 962 Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) I still can't get over the fact that PATD recorded an entire song based on one of my favorite books of all time. It's genius. The album deserved 9.0 only because of this masterpiece. Edited July 3, 2023 by lookwhatyoumademedo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
