    ALBUM OF THE YEAR, ALBUM OF THE DECADE

    No puedo describir lo extenso que es folklore, el como mi madre de 45 disfruta de Exile, mientras mis hermanos disfrutan de Seven, y mi hermana pequeña disfruta de The 1, no puedo creer la amplitud que logro Swift con este álbum, aun cuando crees que ella ya dio lo mejor de si misma, vuelve una vez mas para regalarnos estas hermosas melodías,    ALBUM OF THE YEAR, ALBUM OF THE DECADE

    Wow. Can't believe that she make this album in 3 MONTHS!
    It's such a beautiful work. Every song takes you on different's places, because every song it's so unique.
    I think this lyrics are the most magical y beautiful that Taylor made until now.

    Pese a superar a Lover me deja mucho que desear viniendo de eras tan buenas de Taylor como reputation y 1989. Tiene unas letras increíbles pero bajo mi punto de vista se queda pobre en la producción y en los visuales. Parece que Taylor lo haya sacado a la carrera.

    folklore is by far Taylor Swift's best album, and my favorite of all time. During my first listen, I had an out-of-body experience - it was so beyond any music I've heard before that it didn't even feel real. folklore's sonically cohesive, a lyrical masterpiece, and feels like a cozy hug.

She can write not only about her failed relationships and heartbreak, but she also songs of stories made up by her genius creative mind. She's one of the best songwriters of this generation.

When I saw that the latest album "folklore" had involvements from the top table of the 2010's US indie scene in Bon Iver, Aaron Dessner and Thomas Bartlett my interest was peaked again. I wasn't disappointed and this ranks among one of the better global smash releases of the year. As a fan of The National, the Dessner tracks standout but I found the majority of the album extremely listenable with plenty of high points. Lyrically, although it's familiar ground, it's Swift at her storytelling best. In terms of melody it is beautiful simplicity. It is produced to perfection. There is a consistent feel to the whole record which makes it a better album experience than I expected. This album has more strong album tracks than obvious hit singles, both unusual and a risk for arguably the biggest pop star on the planet. I now own 2 physical Taylor Swift albums. Not something I thought would happen 7 years ago.… Expand

    She didn’t come to play! She is the most versatile artist out there,country,pop,alternative and she never fails to deliver the most amazing products. Album of the year right here.

    Si bien es un album diferente cada track no renueva el sonido se vuelve repetitivo y llega aburrir

    Chato, monótono e sem personalidade como tudo que essa vadia faz. Parecia que o álbum todo era uma música só, algo bem tipo barões da pisadinha e banda dejavu.

    this is the best album of Taylors career . She has outdone RED . I didn’t think it would be possible but she DID that

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is probably one of Taylor's most honest albums yet.... The lyrics are relatable and overall the production is well crafted and of course Alternative genre fits Taylor like a glove.… Expand

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.

    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
