    Greatly disappointing. You'll only love this album if you are a Taylor swift stan, what gets 100 from critics isn't the music in this album but the person who made the music and the online craze surrounding her. If this album was released by another artists, both scores would've been different. The music is mid, you're too busy finding connecting between the songs and Swifts life to see it.

    There are few catchy tunes but does not really add value to the TS discography. So sad this is the most popular album. Evermore was better in every way. Even Lover (album) was better. Cruel Summer and Lover (song) blows all the songs from Midnights out of the water. A truly disappointing album.

    If her Lover album is 4/10, this is 1/10. Midnights has no real music, no production , no melody and no good lyrics. It has nothing good. Same old stories since her beginning, kitchen , pocket etc etc.Same old melody since Lover. Nearly all songs are the same and you can't remember which is which.The only song memorable and notbad song is Would've Should've Could've thing. ıf this albumIf her Lover album is 4/10, this is 1/10.

    Same old Taylor swift, nothing new. Her lack of growth is very apparent on this album and when she tried to do something “different” on a song like vigilante **** she completely fell flat on her face. I’m just wondering how she could have such weak songwriting on her 10th album. Let’s hope for some more inspiring work from ms swift in this future.

    With a lot of autotune, her entire album sounds the same and boring. Since she can never keep a man for more than two business days, every song she sings is a breakup song.

    Terrible and BORING as usual, no good vocals and overall one of the worst albums of all time. Massive downgrade, she’s been in her flop era and hasn’t had a single good album. Overall boring, terrible production, horrible autotune, lazy lyricism, and pure TRASH. She shouldn’t have dated min0rs and built like a tayble, horrible nasty woman.

    Very, very generic and lacks life, like most of Taylor Swift’s music and albums, unfortunately. Don’t have a clue how it charted like it did, except for the fact that most of the public prefer flat, mainstream music and aren’t open to changing/expanding their view of artists out there.

    Lack of development throughout the album. Only liked the opening track "Lavender Haze" which is ironic because Zoe Kravtiz co-wrote it showing Taylor needs to actually work with black women more for good quality songs!

    Taylor just proved how basic she is. If you listen to her discography, you’ll never know which album the song is from because everything sounds exactly the same, never changes. And the fact that she insists on bringing up one hundred different versions of the same song is really annoying.

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

    Nothing new, same sound, mid lyrics. She needs to stop making music for a few years to understand which direction to go since 2019 she has released mediocre material and impulsively dropped albums does not help the artist's creativity even if it satisfies your fan base which in this particular case is mainly a white demography.

    I really enjoyed Red, Folklore, and Evermore and going into this optimistically, I was extremely disappointed. A lot of the lyrics and tones of voice were corny and overly sophisticated for no reason. Pretty boring album, the only reason I’m not putting a zero is because Labyrinth was good and Lavender Haze was tolerable.

    Her worst work so far, so bored, basic, poor vocals. We need Taylor 1989’s back.

    Taylor Swift's worst offering yet.

    There are only two songs I have any recollection of after listening (Anti-Hero & Karma) and the rest are either unmemorable or sound the same (or both). The lyrics sound like she put her discography, some words she thought sounded nice, profanity, and some pop culture references into EI and this is what popped out. It's cringy and incoherent and she uses    Taylor Swift's worst offering yet.

The lyrics sound like she put her discography, some words she thought sounded nice, profanity, and some pop culture references into EI and this is what popped out. It's cringy and incoherent and she uses too many vocal effects. It sounds like she both hates herself and is obsessed with herself and revenge and desperately wants you to think she is a badass. There are many cringy lyrics such as "Karma is a cat purring in my lap" and "Sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby and I'm a monster on the hill." One would hope these were cheeky songs, except she sounds like she is trying to be sensual. I'm not a Taylor-hater by nature either. I was a fan for the majority of her career but this is all the worst elements of her music put together and amplified. Listening to this album truly felt like she was trying to see if she could put out terrible music and still dominate the charts and have critical acclaim due to her name-powet. It is a cringy and disappointing offering.    … Expand

    I wanna be just honest, I couldn't listen to any of these songs I listened to every song but couldn't even let the song finish, I skipped them all, my ear bleeds now, what is this mess? Everything is a mess and boring af , it's literally the worst albums of the year I'm so disappointed , it's more like a piece of sheeesh, more than being a piece of work

    What happened to lyricism?
    All songs sound the same and boring.

    Un poco decepcionante, ya que se esperaba más de este álbum pero resultó ser lo mismo.

    I feel like I am missing something with everyone praising this album and it getting good reviews. To me it’s just not that good, her worst and weakest album to date. The melodies go absolutely nowhere, vocal melodies are so boring and the production is plain, there’s no vocal range, Taylor stays in the same register the entire time, lyrics are not so great either, throwing in a few bigI feel like I am missing something with everyone praising this album and it getting good reviews. To me it’s just not that good, her worst and weakest album to date. The melodies go absolutely nowhere, vocal melodies are so boring and the production is plain, there’s no vocal range, Taylor stays in the same register the entire time, lyrics are not so great either, throwing in a few big words doesnt necessarily make a song good, feels like her tackiest juvenile lyrics yet. It doesnt sound like a taylor swift album. Snow On The Beach is decent and anti hero is a grower but thats it. Not one good hook or amazing bridge something she is very well known for. The songs just sort drag on, like you are waiting for something to happen and it just doesnt. She used Lana as a selling point and she barley sung on the song apart from one line. Its like jack told her 'hey go read some monotone poetry' and write lyrics like that and I’ll do some boring synth work over the rest. It’s basically sounds like a bad jack antonoff album to me, not a Taylor swift one. I think she needs to stop working with him, hes boring and doesn’t challenge her and most of his stuff all sounds the same. I don’t know how swift can go from writing songs like Dear John on her own at 19 to whatever this mess is, like I expected hard hitting lyrics the way she describe this album but to me it sounds like something a semi decent 19yr old pop singer today would write. If any other artist released this I wouldn’t have listened to it, and if any other artist released this I doubt they’d be getting the same hype. It feels like nothing but favouritism to me at this point, anything she does gets praised no matter if its good or bad, anyone who dares gives her constructive criticism is deemed a hater and that’s the problem critics are afraid of getting blacklisted or attacked by her or her fans and when you have an entire fandom that are yes people there is zero room for growth. Overall an underwhelming album that isn’t that enjoyable to listen to and something that is forgettable, I’ve listened to it over and over the past day and not one lyric or melody has stuck or played in my head, something that always happens with a swift album and this is coming from a swiftie since 2007.… Expand

    Gostei... nota 1 pelo esforço dela, talvez nao tanto esforço já que é um album reciclado e na zona de conforto dela, ja que a taylor nao consegue se reinventar, musicas iguais, conceito batido e pouca originalidade.

    Demasiado repetitivo. Sigue manteniendo los mismos sonidos de sus antiguas entregas.

    Instrumentally there is nothing to discuss other than a basic drum machine, vocally there isn't many hooks or melodies to really draw you in. It's a very lyrically focused album, but unless you're already a Taylor Swift fan there isn't much to keep you around to really listen to those lyrics.

    It allows Swift to do what she has always wanted: make an album for its own sake that is received primarily as a work of art instead of a commercial entity or tabloid fodder.

    It is very good. ... There are no major missteps within the album, although not everything works as well as the album’s brightest spots.

    While her 10th album doesn’t make instant classic status like 1989, and Evermore and Folklore remain her masterpieces, it is still an understated, beguiling look into the mind of one of the biggest pop stars of our age.
