    Death by a thousand cuts is one of her best songs, and this album deserves so much better, but it still has me, yntcd, iftye, and inthaf so that’s why it gets and eight

    This album is what I consider to peak pop music. This album has changed pop forever. It’s the reason she still has it charting on the billboard 200 to this day.

    Taylor Swift never disappoints. Lover embodies pop music almost flawlessly. Love, hope, friendship, and healing are the main themes of the record, and thanks to Swift's lyrical talent the listener can feel the singer's feelings and emotions directly and effortlessly.

    It's so good but it's not cohesive enough and this albums has some of her worst songs (I Forgot That You Existed, You Need To Calm Down and ME!) this album is like a 7.6 for me, songs like Lover, Cornelia Street and Daylight remind you of what a great songwriter she is.

    Lover is a good album, but it does lack on cohesion and good production. The singles were poorly chosen and it does stain the album’s reputation. There are, although, hidden jams in it, and very personal songs like “Soon You’ll Get Better”, “The Archer”, “Lover” and some others.

    Horrible and boring album, she’s so lazy and boring on productions, absolutely NO GOOD VOCALS AT ALL. HORRIBLE SINGING AND AUTOTUNE. TRASH AND LAZY AND BORING. Maybe if she wasn’t opening her legs for 40+ men her music might’ve been better, desperate nasty woman.

    It's amazing how she is able to capture a loving atmospheric feeling in all the songs. Some are fast and very pop. There are so many amazing songs on this album. While it is not perfect (quite a tonal shift from Reputation to Lover), it's still amazing. ME! is not my favourite song, but every other song is just so good. The era itself was quite quick, but amazing!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A great pop album, but sadly, there are way too many fillers on this album. Songs like 'It's Nice To Have A Friend', 'ME!' and 'You Need To Calm Down' could've been left out as they are boring and annoying and only bring the album down. I understand that 'I Forgot That You Existed' acts as a bridge from her previous album 'reputation' to Lover, but honestly, who cares? When I started listening to that song, I thought to myself, "Is this album just gonna be filled with such boring songs?", she should've just put 'Cruel Summer' as the album opener as well as the lead single as that song would definitely get both of those jobs done perfectly. Again, not a bad album, just a lot of useless songs that bring down the album an devalue the good ones. Though, I must say songs like the title track, 'Death By A Thousand Cuts' or 'Cornelia Street' definitely make this album worthy of a listen.… Expand

    Lover has so many great songs on it, but as a whole, it’s one of my least favorite pop albums by Taylor Swift. I don’t think ME! or YNTCD are representative of her lyrical talent & err on the side of cookie cutter pop.

    This album has showcases the best and worst of Taylor. The album is a swift misdirection from it's predecessor, Reputation. Songs like Cruel Summer, Cornelia Street, London Boy, False God, and Death By A Thousand Cuts could have easily earned this album a 9 out of 10, but sadly songs like ME! and The Man anchor it in place.

    "Lover" is definitely a generation of love songs, slightly retro style and rhythmic bother sounds give people a comfortable feel. The song "The Archer" is like a tone from heaven. Although some songs are made very "ironing line", their "good melody" is unquestionable.

    Frustratingly inconsistent, rapidly swinging from genius to garbage (sometimes within the same song). Taylor's superb vocal performance is frequently let down by bad production decisions.

    Her first fully owned album, with full of bops and timeless classic.
    This album slapped every person who thinks Taylor write only about her heartbreaks.
    Daylight was the original title of it, so I guess the new upcoming album Midnights was the dark version of Lover

    From this album, Taylor stopped talking about her ex. She delicately depicts her and Joe's sweet love. What's wrong with love? Love is the most powerful force in the world. It is because of love that Taylor can no longer be dark.

    The "Lover" by Taylor Swift is a lovable album. Some lyrics are attractive and catchy. Some songs are best, and I will listen to the songs I like so many times, but some are not that best. Like "ME!" or "You Need To Calm Down." I value what she says of the song, but I don't think it does not fit in the album. But the album is still flawless and lovely.

It's clearly a fun song from the perspective of someone acting quite narcissistic. I found this idea quite fun, even if Brendan Urie was in it. It's Nice To Have A Friend is quite a nice song to be put second-to-last.

    The whole purpose of this album is to have fun. It has moment of silliness and it works well at time.

    It's a shame the instrumentals of most tracks are quite bland and blend together too much. The album felt quite directionless at times, I noticed this the most at the track "The Man". It seems to get nowhere lyrically or instrumentally. It's still catchy but the journey just isn't worth it. "False God" is a boring song with questionable production choices. It's a bit random and just isn't catchy at all.

    I found enjoyment in this album but for the most part it's just a boring, bland, pop album with some exciting moments. I felt quite indifferent about this album by the end. I didn't like it or hate it.    … Expand

    This album is a step up from reputation as her original songwriting and raw vocals comeback. She managed to make the perfect bubbly pop album for the time being with minimal skips (3 skips). There could have been better production amongst songs and I can think of 2 songs that do not belong on the album that would bring it to a 10. Great work Taylor Swift, you did it again with another pop classic.

When it hits the right notes, it demonstrates just why Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world. Nevertheless, It’s probably five bad songs away from being better than «1989». «ME!» still sounds like a musical number taken out of context, just unearned celebratory fanfare without plot or character development, so dead-eyed it’s spooky. But she’s better when she gives herself real space to think, as on «Cornelia Street», a lovely, understated tribute to memory and nostalgia with the power to make one rarefied block of Manhattan feel universal.… Expand

    If I could describe lover in one word, it would be "Safe". Lover felt so small comparatively to Reputation, or Red. Reputation was "bad girl" Taylor, Red was the drastic switch from country to pop. Lover on the other hand just felt like just another Taylor Swift album.

Lover was a reset for Taylor, an obvious departure from the dark reputation and it was refreshing to see Taylor write another happy record. She sings in the first track (which is a perfect opener by the way) about forgetting the people who did her wrong and that they mean nothing to her. It then goes into what I believe is the best song on the record, "Cruel Summer." The song pulsates and takes clear inspiration from St Vincent (who's a cowriter on this song). The bridge stands out the most of course, I mean no one thought that was Taylor the night the album dropped. The next track, "Lover" might be Taylor's most romantic track to date, only being rivaled by folklore's, "peace." The song also has a beautiful bridge and was written solo. "The Man" is a wonderful feminist anthem, and is followed by "The Archer," which is a wonderful track 5 about public pressures and being hated and then loved. The next tracks are all characterized by their sometimes emotional and love related themes. "Paper Rings" is a wonderful track, very 80s synth-pop comparable to some of the work on 1989. "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down," were notably weaker songs but they were singles and sometimes singles just aren't made to be phenomenal songs. The album closes with "Daylight" which is another highlight on this album and while "Afterglow," as well as "Daylight" are sonically similar, thematically they're polar opposites. Taylor really did phenomenal work on this album and it's aged like wine being one of the most successful albums of 2019. Happy 2 year anniversary, Lover!… Expand

    To sum it up a bulk of the album has fun and poppy production, bubbly hooks, but she also adds in mature and emotional themes. Btw cheerful Taylor is my favorite.    … Expand

    Is it her most cohesive magical album? No. But do I love every song? Yes. However I don't think they all belonged on this album.

    Lover isn't just an album, it's a cultural reset. its a lifestyle, the oxygen u breathe, ur voice when u can't speak. its a gift from a loved one, a pat in the head, a warm hug. it sees u, it listens, and it loves u back. its what u can call, a home.

    Surprisingly good. The singles were not good, basic mediocre pop music. She tried too hard to have a hit. However, the album is great. Great production, lyricism and vocals. A lot of incredible tracks like cruel summer, the archer, cornelia street, death by a thousand cut,etc. The only problem is that the album is way too long and is not cohesive at all.

    Claramente os sentimentos da Taylor estão "à flor da pele" neste álbum. Sonoridade perfeita e condução do álbum incrível. Músicas alegres, positivas e apaixonantes. A cada passo que damos ela nos apresenta uma nova sonoridade e letras intensas e impecáveis!
    Taylor nos deixou apaixonado por esse álbum!

    I am a hopeless romantic, what else can I say?
    Taylor takes us through the phases of love and not only does she takes about the good stuff, she goes into the deep, hard to confess stuff about her current relationship. As always very transparent in her music and I love that she still has a "sharp pen and a thin skin and an open heart" ;)

    This is probably one of the best albums of the 21st century. Everything is in harmony with each other, admires and fascinates. I did not want to stop listening to any track, the album does not let go until the end.

    Looking though Swift’s last record we see a gigantic difference between reputation and lover, and i think this is amazing. In lover we can see a side knowled and deeper side of Taylor: the romantic. Kinda oblivious but Lover talks about the different types of love, passing through self love, no corresponded love and most true love. Taylor made a nice job in this record.

    Taylor Swift at her rock bottom. Lover has only about 5 good songs (the best highlight being false god and title track) but the rest is 1989 rejects and classic corny, cheesy Taylor. not good.

    Despite some highlights like Afterglow and Cruel Summer, this album just feels very repetitive and almost too catchy to function.
    Top Track: Afterglow
    Worst Track: London Boy

    Lover is an album that does not get a lot of love because of the singles, mainly the lead single which sucks because there are good singles like the man, the archer, and lover. I personally even like you need to calm down. Other amazing songs on the album are afterglow, london boy, cruel summer, and many more.

    Eu pensei muito se dava 9 ou 10 para o Lover, mas um album que tem FALSE GOD, Cornelia Street, Cruel Summer e Afterglow é no mínimo um 10.
    Vamos falar a verdade, Taylor conseguiu fazer com que todos nós nos sentíssemos tão apaixonados quanto ela. O Lover tem esse poder de identificação até em quem já está descrente do amor; a real é que todo mundo já errou, já acertou, já se decepcionou,    Eu pensei muito se dava 9 ou 10 para o Lover, mas um album que tem FALSE GOD, Cornelia Street, Cruel Summer e Afterglow é no mínimo um 10.

    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.
