    • About this album: A double album that features a blend of minimalist synth-pop, folk-pop, and chamber pop. The album delves into themes of self-doubt, grief, anger, and the complexities of human connection. Swift also explores the impact of fame on her own mental and emotional health. I'm sure I will be criticized by the Swift haters for including this album on the list at all and conversely criticized by the Swifties for not ranking this album higher. I'm neither a groupie nor a hater. "Midnights" didn't make the list at all last year, even though I did really like "Antihero" (sue me). But "Folklore" and "Evermore" ranked really high on my list for their release year and personally that's more of what I would like to see (hear?) from her - less of Taylor Swift the mega celebrity and more of Taylor Swift the "indie singer-songwriter." Less Madonna, more Joni.
    • Metacritic Score: 76 (Generally favorable reviews).
    • Grammy Nominations: Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album.
    • Song To Sample: "Fortnight," a haunting and atmospheric track featuring Post Malone.
    • Trivia Bonus: The album has sixteen songs and one bonus track, but there are four variations of the album available on vinyl, each with a different bonus track. The title is a play on the 1989 film "Dead Poets Society."
  • It Was Written by Nas Views by Drake Certified Lover Boy by Drake Chromatica by Lady Gaga

    I was at the Studienreise when this dropped, i listened to it on the ferry from St Malo to Jersey and i almost threw up there lol. I think it wasnt too well thought and that a third opinion wouldve been better, a lot of these songs feel a bit hm.. idk. Everything after evermore has felt weak. My favorites are "Guilty as sin?", "fresh out the slammer", "imgonnagetyouback", "the bolter", "Peter" and "i look in peoples windows"
