This album has grown on me a lot, and most of what I think now doesn't reflect in this initial listen
I was initially underwhelmed and overwhelmed too. Now I think this is some of her best work, especially the Anthology stuff, even if it's not as cohesive an experience as most of her other albums.
@@nukacolatruck TOTALLY AGREE!
Please do the Antalogy too, that part is so fucking good😭😭😭
i actually loved it. it felt like she just had a lot of shit she had to get off her chest, and i really appreciate feeling like we are getting a more raw (read:unhinged) look into her life. I also just love a chill album, so im more inclined to like it lol you might like the extra tracks more! appreciate your take ♡♡
I like your take hahaha the unhinged part, so true, I also appreciate her just releasing whatever, whenever and how ever many she wants, she feed her fans incredibly 😂 I do love chill but I suppose more indie and earthy sounds, I’m tired of Jack tbh. But yeah a few have said I should enjoy the second half more. Thanks for the love regardless of us differing 🤍
@bennshouts I do agree that she should branch out and experiment with producers/sound. The rest of the extra tracks are more in line with folklore/evermore to me. And for sure, everyone likes what they like! Lol
This is perhaps the most chaotic release day ever! Every track has their own unique charm, especially if you or someone you know has gone through similar experiences mentioned in these songs 🎵🫶✨
Fresh out The Slammer and guilty as sin? Are my favorites. So pretty. Thanks for feeding us content so quickly!!!
omg ur so fastttt love ur vids
❤️❤️❤️
@@bennshouts I just listened to the whole album myself and I echo your sentiments! It kind of feels very...one note? I think she's a great writer, but because she's a great writer, I wish there was more "oomph" to the music.
I absolutely loved his album but it was such a devastating experience listening to it. I had to take breaks between some of the saddest ones to fully process it without just bawling
It def has A LOT of lyrics to take in at once! I’m glad you loved it tho!! You must be going through it, cause to connect with it means you’re hurting 😭😭
Love your reactionnnnssss❤also I know you hate deluxes but the Anthology in my opinion is more like a part 2 like she divided it to have the extra surprise at 2am for the fans but they are meant to be together(?). STILL, please no pressure if you don't feel like it, it's ok. And always at your time, never rush yourself with any reaction. we will be blessed whatever it is and whenever it is
Your videos always make me smile, hope you are doing good and taking care of yourself❤✨
Also yeah, Dead Poets Society is the movie you were thinking about and I kept saying the title of the album wrong hahahah
edit: I'm finishing the video and idk do if you feel like it the Anthology but I don't remember it being so different production-wise so I can't guarantee you would like it honestly. Maybe there has to be certain mood(? but do what you feel❤
Honestly I agree w u on everything. Not sure I’ll return to it soon either but it was okay as an album.
It’s amazing how much music u listen to to me! If you are ever running out I think you’d enjoy Ellie Goulding’s discography :)
I cannot comprehend how much I listen to sometimes haha! And yesss she’s been on my list for SO long omg
Oh awesome!! I think your fave will be Halcyon, her second album, or Brightest Blue, her fourth one :)
Thanks sm for considering it!
I would say this album was for her not for us if that makes sense. The songs do really connect to each other lyrically if you actually analyze and link lyrics.
I definitely agree the production is a bit lacking but I think that was part of the point of it. It’s a collection of poems written in the stages of grief of a relationship.
The one song that stuck with me is that "Florida ... DUH DUH DUH DUH"
Please we need a reaction to I’m doing it again baby by girl in red it’s a short 28 minute project yet managed to be one of my favorite projects of the year so far
Hey, do you think you could react to Night Time, My Time by Sky Ferreira? It’s a really really great album and I think you would LOVE it! She was one of the 2013 tumblr queens😂
Handy lifehack for y’all: this album sounds *great* stoned ✌️
So… are we getting a reaction to Cowboy Carter?
as a huge fan of all her previous albums, im very disappointed in the standard version of this one :( a lot of the anthology tracks are much, much better but still as a whole this album is soo crazily odd coming from her… what happened ??
I really enjoyed my first listen and the solemness in a lot of tracks. It feels emotionally captivating so I don't mind the similar topics of songs. I do agree about the production tho, I feel like it could've definitely been elevated in some places and I actually have a problem with the sameness of production with some tracks from her albums as well.
i don’t listen to taylor just saw the thumbnail and had to pop in and say the hair is GIVINGGGGGG !! sidenote… were you planning on listening to cowboy carter? i’m so curious to know what you’d think :o
Hehe thank you!! 🥹
I’m not a fan of B, so wasn’t gonna 🫣
I think it could make you a fan lol
@@bennshoutseven if you don’t like the production, the writing on cowboy carter is particularly beautiful- it’s up to you ofc but i think a lot of us would love to watch :’)
Cowboy Carter is one of her greatest albums! The lyrics, the production and overall theme of the album is incredible! It should be a sin to not listen to CC 🐴🤠
Are you gonna do the anthology? it’s literally Evermore’s sister
I wasn’t planning on it :/
Better than this half?
@@bennshouts i definitely think it’s better as a folklore and evermore stan that half is mostly produced by Aaron
Folklore is one of my faves by her! Maybe I’ll get to it
@@bennshoutsdon’t waste your time on it. Folklore is much much better and even Evermore is supreme. The Anthology is inspired from that era, which is unnecessary to be made into another album - it fell flat and ‘samey’ with the touch of this Poets Dept.
Where’s the COWBOY CARTER reaction?
The Anthology literally eats this entire half up for brekky, trust.
Why does she do this 😩
I wasnt gonna bother haha, but maybe I need too?
@@bennshouts honestly she’s kinda evil 💀 you should totally check it out though!
imo the first songs off each part of the double album are the best then it falls off, the writing and melodies are nice, the production is just so bland and unexciting that you get bored abit
@@bennshouts yes, please give the anthology a listen! Would love see your reaction :)
The second half of the (second) album is way more with tasteful and authentic in my opinion, the production refrains from using the same synths etc. And uses more instruments / acoustic. Strongly reccomend that side of The album 😁
I want to request that you do a reaction to The Last Dinner Party.
I just did actually
It’s on patreon x
my favs might be ttpd, so long london and loml (dont know what that says about me lmaoo)
Hahaha
Need a faye Webster reaction to her new album and her self titled album from 2017 both are fantastic and relatively short considering the length of albums in this era
PLEASE ur thumbnails always tell me everything I need to know 😭😭
HAHA I try my best
Florence really amping up the quality immediately
100000%
Who is in control of the pretty little liars account 😭
@@stevendrk7377 me
I couldn't agree with you any more on you the top hits. Midnights still reigns supreme! :-)
❤❤Love it.... but in this reaction video l didn't get much of you reacting to the songs because you cut the video short this should've taken 1 hour or so but yours only took 30 minutes 😢😢
It felt like you were in a rush or something or you were bored, to a point were you cutted out the parts l wanted to see your reaction to in some lyrics in the songs
I cut out any part where I was literally just sitting there listening, which at times were minutes on end which explains the short lengths, I really just didn't connect with most of the production which just ruined the entire album for me, while some incredibly written songs, the production was so boring/bland/same/uninspiring I just sat there 🥲 Sorry
Do the antology its amazing
FLORIDA!!!
The best by faaaar!
Please react to Lights discography. Especially Pep and Skin & Earth. Pls pls.
I'm worried she goes on tour for this project. Some ideas for name of the tour would be the Eon Tour... loooong and monotone.
Hahahaha Eon Tour!
I can't stomach anymore of her tbh.
I think it falls flat I have to be honest! You can tell she was stretching her concepts out (31 songs is crazy!)
It’s like this album still needed work, but they released it anyways…
I wish I liked the album more, it’s almost to chill for my taste I also feel like all the songs kinda sound the same. She is great though and a stellar song writer
This!!!
Yeah it needed some variety and some bangers ...
I loved the album but I really hope Taylor stops working with Jack Antonoff, his way of producing is getting repetitive
Istg If I hear jack’s bejewelled sparkling sound ONE more time in a Taylor song. I am suing him.
😂😂😂
It’s time to sack Jack.
I sadly also don't like most of it, But daddy i love him tho!! fire!🔥 Guilty as sin is also nice
Its growing on me haha, I knew it would though!
Cowboy Carter is needed
I'm actually really confused about these "sounds the same" comments because I don't think it does at all? I think she's done things on this album she's never done before, and every song sounds different to me. What is there, though, is multiple sonic references to her own music I think *intentionally* due to the lyrical content, like she's doing sonic call backs. As well as lyrical call backs but maybe they only feel intentional and clever if you're a big enough fan? It reminds me a lot of Halsey and her call backs/lyrical consistencies actually. Perhaps the "sameness" comes from her voice/writing style, or maybe a bit of self-fulfilling prophecy with haters going into it to hate and then others being influenced by their opinions. Also I guess the expectation for every single thing to be next-level out of this world that people place on her is just... super unrealistic? Music can be good without being groundbreaking (despite her doing different stuff lol).
Anyways sorry for the essay, this just might actually be my 2nd favourite album of hers (all 31 tacks) right after folklore. It's such an interesting mix of world-building/story telling while being, i think, the most personal album she's ever written. I understand if this music isn't everyone's vibe but that doesn't make it bad.
I’m not a big fan of this album to be honest I feel like the writing is kinda hard to understand for a casual listener lol
Idk fortnight is so good to me it’s giving goth but Taylor
Taylor needs to stay from Jack and Aaron for now. Also, the way Taylor sings, brings nothing new to the table. It sounds the same as her previous records. Her attack with the lyrics is the same. Artistically flat for me. She’s trying hard and this doesn’t work. It’s all over the place.
Yeah I’m wondering if the all over the place is meant? Cause its all just random poems? Maybe? Haha. But yes, I want something NEW
@@bennshoutsit's not coming together sonically. Yes, so random and no end in sight I feel like. There's no highs and lows. Forgettable.
The critics disagree with that, for a reason!
To you.
@@mstrmren not pitchfork tho
I actually hate this album so much :( I listened to the leaks twice and STILL cannot remember the way any of the songs sound. It's just gruel
😭😭😭
This is the best description of TTPD that I’ve read. It’s an astonishing feat (failure?) to make 31 songs and have them all sound the same.
okay but you actually look so much like Travis Kelce hahhahahahhaha
💀💀💀💀
I feel like, at this point, some of us would be more inclined to like an actual just book of poetry by her rather than a Jack album 😬
Cannot deny the writing, but I do sometimes tire of his sameness… and I say this as a huge Swiftie who still likes the majority of the album! Just some of it is glittery synthy repetition.
Totally agree!
@@bennshouts The Anthology tho… bless Aaron Dessner. To the rescue!! Such a great example of how to do chill music that is still interesting! Production doesn’t have to be big or booming to be FULL.
I liked it, i mean, i guess im also getting older so i dont need bubblegum pop/2:30 length songs to accommodate today's younger attention spans? Idk lol
Nothing felt super long for me on the album really just bland?
I guess I’m the only one I didn’t liked these albums at all😅
Haha not here
React Pabllo Vittar batidão tropical vol. 2 😢 pleaseeeee
SUCH a boring album!! Don’t even think I could bring myself to listen to it again. They all sound the same
It hurts to agree :(
@@bennshouts one of the reasons I love watching your reaction videos is because you give your true thoughts and opinions, even if they aren’t the most positive. So while I’m sorry that you didn’t like I’m, I’m also glad someone else agrees with me 😂
HAHA! Well I’m glad it helped you 😂😂
I agree. Unfortunately, out of the 31 songs, I only really LIKED 4 or 5 of them. I listened to this album 3 times trough and only remember like 5 songs it all is just one big blur.
React to ATARI by DANNA!!!!! The music video is so good !!!!!!!!
She’s Mexico’s POP QUEEN 👸
Pop girlies need a restraining order from jack i swear
Hahahaahah
JUSTICE FOR "FRESH OUT THE SLAMMER" & YOU 🫵🏻 IN JAIL!!!
HAHAHAHAHA! Fair! I love the album now hehe
@@bennshouts I didn't like it so much on my first listen either, it's a grower
@@bennshouts the end of FOTS, from "wearing imaginary wings" onwards = chills (my husband, aka Jack Antonoff knows how to give me chills 🫦)
I skimmed the album on Spotify and it's sound is just as plain as a piece of sliced bread left outiside it's bag. Flavorless. Boring. Repetitive. I'm talking mainly sonically. But I've read that the themes from Midnights are repeating here. Guess is her flop era? She has the right to fail as well, which is good for the soul...
I dont think she can fail ha, this will become one of her biggest selling I think - purely because of her already incredible status! I agree though, its not her best work and very very samey
It's just the same bluddy thematic concepts every album.....this is starting to wear thin on me, especially as the actual music has been stagnating, with the same Antanoff production.....i'd like to see her play with other ideas and concepts, both musically and intellectually.
God yes!
So so bland Great if you want a good night sleep
She used religious references to refer to her fan base IMO.
This album is such a disappointment, it needed to be narrowed down to 10 or 12 songs. Jack's production lacks of innovation, like he's running on circles. Loved your honesty and I agree with you.
❤️❤️❤️
One of the most boring, bland and forgettable albums she’s ever made. All the songs sound exactly the damn same and the writing can only make up for so much. Really disappointed, and the fact this is gonna end up overshadowing a ton of actual good albums that are coming out around this time is beyond frustrating…
Agreed!
One of the worst albuns by her
Booooo
I actually love it, but it gets better with additional listens. It is heart breaking. It is not ground breaking- it is relatable ! People who take the time to really listen experience feelings and emotions with it. That can be very cathartic.
It's such a masterpieceeeeeee and deserves the AOTY it'll likely get nominated for! The lyricism is beyond compare, no pop artist can even get close to that. It's literally modern day poetry, which has been missing sooooo much in Beyonces and Arianas albums this year (as demonstrated by their sales and chart performances....) It doesn't sound cheap, cheesy and isn't over-doing it, exactly the reason i've hated Eternal Sunshine an Cowboy Carter. Taylor has done it again.
Tell me you’ve never read a poem in your life without telling me…
@@mandoz353 go cry about it louder, maybe Taylor will read this and provide you with free napkins she'll buy using the 330 million streams from yesterday.
This album has more cringe lyrics than reputation lmao
Cmon the album is mid as fuck
I loved it😊
Dude, you are the one who is awkward and pretentious here!!!!!!!! Worst reaction so far!!!!!
