    Swift proves once again that she likes to experiment with new sounds and genres and that she does it beautifully. A really intriguing album, different sounds, provocative lyrics such as really sweet ones, Swift takes us into another world, her world, the Midnights world. And it is great.

    Midnights sounds very different from her previous album. A kind of album that you can listen to literally at midnight. The vibe is just chill. Her best album to date.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. So good! So different from all of her past albums. Taylor is just beating her own records. There’s really no competition, and this album is like a big, sarcastic middle finger to her haters. She’s owning up to whatever their saying if it makes them happy, so if karma is a **** and this is the karma they want for her, then she’s embracing it. Joke’s on the haters. Expand

    Midnights somehow captures the melodic beats of 1989 and the lyrical genius of folklore and evermore in an album that is in many ways more personal and honest than any work that precedes it. I have to say that this is my favourite album from her, and I'm excited to see wherever she goes to next year.

    This album is really a masterpiece. The pop production is so expensive and awesome. The bass lines EATT. And don’t get me talking about the lyrics, Taylor Swift has infused the best lyrics in this pop album. This is all we could’ve hoped for and I loved every minute of the album.

I love the production, lover and 1989 are the main inspiration, but there are elements from folklore, evermore and reputation (Vigilante S*it is the bad bi*ch from reputation, Lavender Haze reminds me of ITHK, ecc..). Anti-Hero, You're on Your Own, Kid and Karma are my faves. i rate 9 cause i don't like two tracks: Labyrinth and Bejeweled, but the others just bops Expand

    Sonoridade é uma mistura de 1989 com reputation, as letras mostram a profundidade da compositora que a Taylor se mostrou e se consagrou com os álbuns gêmeos, Folklore e Evermore, porém com um gosto de algo novo. Letras profundas em uma sonoridade envolvente beirando ao dançante.

    Upon first listen I wouldn't say that I'm immediately *captivated*, but I enjoy it a lot. Standouts for me are maroon, vigilante **** bejeweled, karma, and mastermind. I think that I like the second half of the album more than the first and that's weird for me because I'm usually a first half guy. I imagine this album will grow on me, just like folklore did.

    Taylor Swift proved that she is really the mastermind by making an album with the production touch of her past pop albums, lyrically genius like her alternative albums, and the fairytale feels of her country eras. She proved that our melancholy and what-ifs at 3 am can be beautiful and advantageous. This is her best pop album to date, referencing each of our inner problems and past selves.

    It allows Swift to do what she has always wanted: make an album for its own sake that is received primarily as a work of art instead of a commercial entity or tabloid fodder.

    It is very good. ... There are no major missteps within the album, although not everything works as well as the album’s brightest spots.

    While her 10th album doesn’t make instant classic status like 1989, and Evermore and Folklore remain her masterpieces, it is still an understated, beguiling look into the mind of one of the biggest pop stars of our age.
