    Overly familiar sounding and spotty. ... “Midnights” feels like a concession to an older, safer idea of Swift, full of songs that are capable and comfortable but often insufficient. ... Some of the lyrics can be lackluster and bluntly imagistic, with little of the detail that made Swift one of the signature pop songwriters of the 21st century. ... “Midnights” by and large feels like a fuzzy Xerox of old accomplishments.

    For lack of a better word, it’s dull. The subtext of this record is rich for those firmly invested in Swift’s personal narratives but, perhaps for the first time, outright irrelevant for anyone else.

    She has done it again. Taylor Swift can do no wrong. This is why so many fade but she’s still here.

    Whole album was a cash grab, 20 versions and for what ?

She didn’t release a lead single because she knew if people heard how it was going to sound her streaming numbers would be low, nothing on the album stands apart from the rest it all sounds the same, it’s nothing we’ve heard before from her, lazy lyrics, boring melodies, monotonous voice, whole thing should have been scrapped… Full Review »
