    感覺單調，停下來覺得都是一樣的歌曲，比起這張專輯，覺得lover這張專輯較有變化。不過背景音樂倒是跟泰勒絲的聲音融合的蠻不錯，特定在這邊留言加油，加油。

    A mi gusto nada interesante. Quizá por que ya me he acostumbrado a escucharla en otros ritmos. No termina de hacer match ninguna canción.

    While folklore marks a much needed departure from Taylor Swift's outdated soft pop sound, she seems to fall short in the alternative genre, with more than half of the tracks off this album being snoozefests.

Understood is not the cliché album we used to hear referring to Taylor Swift, but she could use more effort with her productions as them last powerful songs that have made us to reach a high climax.

    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.
