Aug 22, 2022worst album by taylor very blad and boring and lyrically too pretentious it’s just not her thing
-
Aug 22, 2022Very boring, the tracks were similar and there is no changing in notes it’s just the exact same note in every track, the longevity of songs gave it much boring effect than it already is! the worst album in her discography
-

Aug 28, 2020i expected more from this, it's pretty boring sorry Taylor I love you ;-; !
-
Aug 28, 2020This was not her album. I listened to the album several times and nothing stood out. Yes, I understand the genre and purpose of the album. Again, nothing stood out. As a fan, this is disappointing.
-
Nov 20, 2021For a celebrity that over-saturates the media, she doesn't have much of interest to say lyrically.
-
Jun 1, 2021She should just stop, these songs are horrible.... the only one I liked was cardigan and it was a single
-
Aug 28, 2020Stale but clever lyrics . but gets boring after 2 weeks. Clever but she has done better
-
Nov 24, 2021Boring album made to please spoiled white gays and spoiled white girls. Just boring!
-
Jul 24, 2020Just so overrated, underwhelming, and not worth the time. I miss her pop days this is not it
-
Aug 28, 2020Pior album de sua carreira, não consegui ouvir todo pois dormi na metade, o unico lado positivo seria a ousadia..
-
Jul 25, 2020very boring. no good lyrics. old taylor much better. don’t like the features. puts me to sleep.
-
Aug 28, 2020the album is good lyrically but it didn’t go anywhere. it felt kind of empty.
-
Jul 24, 2020Generic, sounds like Lana del Rey but ver y "cliché" it is nothing new, hoy bored at the second track.
-
Jul 24, 2020It's a pretty basic album - nothing out of this world and nothing we've not heard of before. Very basic.

Jul 28, 2020Pasando la mismísima folclórica trata de ser como lana del año y lo logro, igual de aburridas y monótonas.

Jul 24, 2020When you think of Taylor this is not the kind of music you expect. But I must applaud the effort for trying to make a folk album
-
Jul 24, 2020Vey boring and slow. Not much lyrical maturity from her previous albums or vocal growth. The reviews have made this album out to be on Tracy Chapman or Joni Mitchel level and it really is not.
-
Jul 24, 2020This was so hard to listen to, I don't remember the last time I was desesperated for an album to come to an end. Extremely boring

Jul 24, 2020Suena a un disco de música indie folk/ alternativa, demasiado influenciado por los productores y apenas percibo a Taylor.
La manera en la que canta es aburrida. Siento que fue muy acelerado 0/100 -
Jul 26, 2020While in this world exixst such multylayerd comlicated beautifully sad album like Tidal this cant be better. Absolutely ordinary folk sound with predictable tunes...
-
Jul 24, 2020Such a horrible and boring album. Very dissapointed, it sounds exactly as the archer.
-
Jul 25, 2020Taylor’s worst album. Constantly riding off other for promotion. Releasing the same day as One Direction’s 10 year anniversary, reminding me of the way she put all of her music on Spotify the day Katy Perry releases Witness. For folklore, there are MANY more artists and albums that have more substance and meaning than this.

Jul 24, 2020All the songs sound the same. Nothing new. The production is also not that good.
-
Jul 25, 2020The same generic pop vocal trash but disguised with Alternative sounds and hung again from Jack Antonoff and now from Bon Iver. Simply more of the same. That album is not even a quarter of what Lana Del Rey did in Norman **** Rockwell. You can see how forced it sounds, despite all the good proposals that surround this album, the generic style of Swift's voice sends everything down the drain.
-
Jul 29, 2020The songs are so boring, the sound is so basic, she has been making the same borings songs through the years
-
Jul 24, 2020the album it’s pretty boring, idk i didn’t really liked the music, reputation and the 1989 were much better
-
Jul 24, 2020I know its still quarantine but I was hoping for a fun album that was not only close to the heart but also could also speak to the average person while also pulling them in with the beat
-
Jul 24, 2020This album combines all the worst elements of folk music and terrible mixing in vocals. This is Taylor Swift’s worst work

Jul 24, 2020Folklore no sigue una secuencia interesante. Mientras más avanzan las canciones, más deseas que termine pronto. Un álbum para poner en los velorios.
-
Jul 24, 2020Not my type of song. I want the old and pop Taylor back. I also wish had features

Jul 24, 2020Compared to her other albums, folklore doesn’t have any of that spice. While there are a few notable songs, most are just quite drowsy and simple.
-
Jul 24, 2020I could even give it a higher grade because of the production and the great work with Bon Iver in “exile”, but nothing she does can come out well for me. I'm sorry but keep trying, one day it will!
-
Jul 24, 2020All songs are incredibly similar, vocals are nothing to write home about tbh old Taylor had it down pat
-
Jul 25, 2020Good and peace.An album which is not mainstream, but music is for art. This album can help me sleep well!
-
Jul 25, 2020Didn’t enjoy it and it felt like one long song. All Taylor’s music is starting to sound the same.
-
Jul 26, 2020Not a good album for pop lovers. Definately not her best. The album has simillar productiom of all songs.
-
Jul 27, 2020Not impressive at all. Dull album every song is similar, no creativity, not good at all
-
Jul 27, 2020another boring album by taylor swift. a literal snooze fest. she’ll never top reputation, but all she cares about are Grammys
-
Jul 25, 2020This album is so boring, all 16 songs are the same, nothing special, you can listen and after 5 songs to sleep
-
Jul 24, 2020sounds boring and repetitive, all the tracks sound the same and have the same theme, but it is indeed a sad album, that’s the only thing i like about it.
-
Jul 24, 2020The fans created a huge expectation but the album experience is a shallow experience with rhythms that go nowhere, I mean the rhythms are repeated with generic and little creative beats.
-
Jul 24, 2020un album muy maduro, pero a la vez muy reciclado. un cambio del pop al alternativo, pero demasiado repetitivo y sencillo siendo de una artista de alto calibre

Aug 11, 2020despite some two or three good songs, i think Taylor is an overvalutaed artist.
-
Jul 24, 2020Unfortunately the album sounds like one whole song. The songs are sounding very similar. But the lyrics are good. It's just not an album you coukd listen to for a long time

Jul 24, 2020O conceito tá ok e também achei que a voz dela combinou com o estilo folk, mas vamos combinar que esse mijo todo é forçado demais.
-
Jul 26, 2020the album is so bored, the lyrics are good but the sound is exactly the same on every song.
-
Jul 26, 2020Simplemente aburrido que necesidad tiene de dormir a la gente con el album completo?
-
Jul 24, 2020The album shows a linear and repetitive sound from the artist. She needs to mature soundly and learn more solid and personal work.
-
Jul 24, 2020Expected a little bit more but it was ok,didnt really like all the songs,some were good tho

Jul 25, 2020All the song sound the same. I liked Taylor swifts but I feel like she’s getting more and more lost.
-
Jul 28, 2020mmm chile, not her best album, i think very overrated, monotonous, she is isn't bringing something we haven't seen before
-
Jul 25, 2020Taylor Swift tried to rescue her country's influences that had been out of date for years. In an album with so many versions, it is impossible to deny the influence on Lady Gaga's album, Joanne. In the moment of a pandemic all we don't want is to listen to this album and cry again. More of the same, boring and uninteresting.
-
Jul 26, 2020Such a boring album. No catchy hooks, no catchy or upbeat songs. Literally unlistenable.
-
Jul 26, 2020I just dont like it.All the songs sound the same.It is just a very boring album!

Jul 27, 2020Good lyrics but the sound is boring with not unique sound and not that great production it's deserve more than 0 but I was really going to it with high hopes because of the rating but it's kind overrated
-
Jul 27, 2020This is the most boring album in the history of music, all the tracks sound the same. in short, only one word can describe it correctly: sleeping pill
-
Jul 27, 2020It is blasphemous album, it is like listening and that within seconds you fall asleep.
-
Jul 27, 2020a simple album with boring tones and very little advance although it has the Titan of pop as a singer does not mean that everything you do is good as in the case of me! which was a generic and flat pop
-
Jul 28, 2020Vixe que música chata. Melhor ouvir Lana del rey.
Volta pro country, querida kkkkk -

-
Jul 27, 2020Just another boring album, no creativity, nothing impressive at all, just a waste of time
-
Jul 27, 2020This album is boring asf please she had to keep it on draft i swear this wont be successful at all
-
Jul 27, 2020Claims to be a "surprise" album when it was purposely released during the last week bundles would count towards Billboard charts positions. She might be good at creating lyrics but her deliver is terrible and all she got of out this was a boring, Lana del Rey wanna-be album.
-
Jul 27, 2020As a Taylor fan i'm so disgusted with this album. She is looking for something that already exists and she is not the best on it... we need another 1989 album.

Aug 28, 2020Boring there’s nothing much to it, maybe taylor should stop shifting genres and just stick to her pop persona. Thanks.
-
Aug 28, 2020Sorry but it’s too boring, it wasn’t an obligation to create an album just because yes, there was no need
-
Aug 28, 2020Álbum muy aburrido taylor no muestra a la artista que es en su máxima expresión.
-
Aug 28, 2020boring and local, even his fans didn't like it. but what did they expect from such a dull and boring "artist"?
-
Aug 28, 2020I dont know why but I didn't like this album, sorry taylor and swifties, maybe the next

Jun 1, 2021just white privilege.... nothing is good about this at all she doesn't deserve the hype she has with sales tbh :/ it should go to miley, katy and dua
-
Jun 1, 2021flop album, boring songs that just are straight up not listenable and lyrics that show she just searched up synonyms on google
-
Jul 24, 2020advertising 10/10
music 0/10
i like these kind of songs but this album have 16 simiar songs -
Jul 24, 2020This "alternative" sound is so incredibly tired. So uncharacteristic of Taylor too, and she does it no justice at all. Her squeaky voice really doesn't suit songs that sound like attempts on writing for Lana or Billie. Overall I'm left feeling bored and disappointed. Taylor should stick to pure pop.
-
Jul 24, 2020Boring, I think that this is her worst era. I miss the old Taylor when she was the pure pop. In this crazy time dominated by the COVID we need music that can distract and let amuse us . Maybe she chose the wrong time to release it.

UncutAug 13, 2020It'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]
-
Aug 7, 2020A 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.
-
Aug 3, 2020These 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.
