    The album Lover can be, in its essence, one of the best albums of Taylor Swift's career, surpassing, right away, the quality of the previous one, Reputation.

    Lover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums ofLover is her best piece of work today, you can play the whole album and you won't get tired of it, Taylor release a personal, beautiful, and clear pop album, the lyrics are from a professional song writer, all the lyrics go beyond from the first listen, you need to read them to understand what she is saying, the references she uses are amazing, literally one of the best written albums of the decade.

    The production is sweet, puts you in the best mood, they work perfectly with the lyrics, it's a sweet production that is deep compared to her previous work.

    The album is long, but has 0 fillers, every song is perfect compared to the other songs, the thing that left many people wishing is the lack of heavy danceable pop songs like shake it off, yet it is perfect without them. She made a beautiful, perfect, amazing love letter to her lover.

    Lover is a huge improvement from reputation (though not nearly as good as her older albums, like Fearless and Speak Now) but unfortunately it suffers from a lot of the songs sounding very similar. There were no absolute stinkers on the album, though some of the songs did not reach musical climaxes, something that could have made these songs better, such as The Archer and I Forgot That You Existed. Many of these songs have amazing lyrics, like You Need to Calm Down, but in these songs, the actual music wasn’t my favorite. That being said, while I am usually not a fan of electronic music, Swift uses synths and drum machines very uniquely and creatively, redeeming this music for me. Some of the tracks felt a little too reliant on this technology, though I greatly enjoyed a lot of the songs on the album. At first I felt a little overwhelmed by the electronic drums in The Man, but as I listened to it more and more, I became more fine with it (I listened to songs like Old Town Road in comparison and I still hate those drums, but I’m fine with the ones in The Man). Highlights: Lover, The Man, I Think He Knows, Paper Rings, Cornelia Street, Death by a Thousand Cuts, Soon You’ll Get Better, Afterglow, and ME!.

    It is a good album that reflects the qualities of Taylor Swift as a writer. The problem with ‘Lover’ is that it is too long, so the sequence in it is lost. It’s elegant but without reaching the sublime, it is certainly not her best attempt so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A very good album for Taylor Swift, the best record of 2019. It is her most grown one yet and this is what makes it so special and unique. She also combined pop, country and love ballads into one album, which is not easy. The best songs are ‘Afterglow’, ‘Soon You’ll Get Better’ and ‘Cruel Summer’, although you might like some of the more pop ones like ‘Me!’, ‘You Need To Calm Down’ or ‘The Man’. There also are excellent love songs like ‘Lover’ and ‘Paper Rings’. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is an absolute masterpiece. I fail to understand why so many people are criticising it, they overlook some really beautiful songs like Cornelia Street, London boy, paper rings etc. Lover has songs which sound upbeat and happy as well as songs with a sad background. If you listen to the album without the image of taylor swift the media has painted you will thoroughly enjoy it. Expand

    Great album. This Taylor album has a lot of mixed emotions. The man is one of the songs as it explains how our society is. The lyrics are awesome and some songs have great instrumental. However, I don't like the pop on some songs and lyrics, "ME!" and "you need to calm down" basically have a not-so special meaning and the beat is too mainstream. Album is a roller coaster of emotions.

    Cute pop record but definitely not her best. After having three back to back amazing albums, Lover is a disappointment. It seems she’s gone backwards and hasn’t matured her sound.

    'Lover' is a perfect departure from 'Reputation' with upbeat pop themes and that 80's synth pop that Taylor is known for.

    The 7th wonder of the discography of miss Swift. The whole album is about the different kinds of love but it in a way that only the heart could feel.

    Lyrically one of her best albums yet. It shows how mature she is and it perfectly displays what it’s like to find true love, while Taylor is simultaneously taking a stand for herself and not taking **** from anyone. Truly a strong album

    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.
