After 100 episodes and 7 album reviews, we are doing the unthinkable. We are admitting we don’t like a Taylor Swift album. Please do not dox us. In a lengthy, 2-part review, we explain song-by-song what works on The Tortured Poets Department, and what doesn’t. Spoiler: a lot doesn’t. We discuss Taylor’s super powers as a song-writer–the power bridges, catchy choruses, pristine production, lyrics that are autobiographical yet relatable–and how this album is lacking all that.
This episode covers the first half of the original album. Part two will discuss the additional songs from the “Anthology.”
