Um álbum sem muita força do que essa artista tem, as suas primeiras 6 músicas são muito 'arrastadas', não tem nenhum ponto alto, a faixa 7 "Miss Americana & The Heartbrak Prince" dá uma esperança de continuar a ouvir o álbum e ser constantemente bom e fluir como seu 4º e 5º álbuns de estúdio, porém a faixa subsequente decai novamente, na minha avaliação, achei que "afterglow" e "you need to calm down" são faixas contagiantes e que chamam a atenção do ouvinte, o restante é bastante morno, infelizmente ela vem decaindo do 1989 para cá!… Expand

    It sounds like Taylor is still in middle school. Very childish. Also, sound like she ripped off Hilary Duff. Hilary needs to sue her for copyright infringement. I wish her music reflected her age now. On her next album, I need more maturity, less 7 grader.

    Absolute rubbish album this is. This album is just an apology for how bad reputation was but feels unoriginal and lazy. This album has themes of romance, social issues and dreams that reminds me of Madonnas album in 1986 True Blue. Taylor’s vocals are overly processed with autotune and reverb. Her songwriting is overly formulaic and isn’t as poignant as her 2012 album Red and theAbsolute rubbish album this is.

    such a let down. Going from an era which was all about becoming a bad girl and changing and letting go of the old Taylor, and then she goes and makes the most bubble gum pop, pink and girly era she has ever had which takes all sincerity and realness out of Reputation and showing it was completely orchestrated and not honest or sincere at all.

    This is even worse than Reputation, which is honestly quite an achievement. There really are no songs that I liked. Some are decent, but most of this album is just garbage, and the fact that it's 18 tracks just makes it even more exhausting.

    Musically, there's nothing even slightly adventurous or creative here. Everything is just by-the-numbers pop music. The songs also lack cohesion.

    Lyrically, this is Taylor Swift at her worst. Everything is so literal and straightforward, and there's so much repetition. So many of these songs sound like she cranked out the lyrics in like 10 minutes. Not to mention, some of the songs are straight up campy and childish. Me!, You Need to Calm Down, and Paper Rings are perfect examples of this.

    Overall, this failed to meet my already low expectations. It's inoffensive, cookie-cutter pop music, and it honestly sucks. Worst album I've listened to in a long time.    … Expand

    Lover was a disappointment. First coming out with terrible singles (ME! was one of the worst top 2s of this year), and then disappointing in the album.

There were two and a half songs I liked on this album: Afterglow, and Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince. Cruel Summer and a fewLover was a disappointment.

    An abysmal Album experience. Her songwriting has been on a downslide since Red, Lover was an overly long slog and many songs felt the same. I have little desire to return to any of the tracks.
    Both the production and lyrics were lacking but it's at least better than reputation, so she has that going for her.

    It’s an album that screams out for an editor, but when it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world.

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.

    Lover is a fabulous record, full of super-fun standout pop hits that make your heart burst. It oozes with Swift’s much more palatable upbeat sass. She’s in love and also thinking about different kinds of love.
