The Tortured Poets Department
I keep calling it the Dead Poet's Society. I need to watch that again.
This is the first time I've listened to a Taylor Swift album, in its entirety, at the time of its release. I made a conscious choice to listen to this before the hype takes over and I shove it off for 20 years, which I tend to do.
I take full responsibility for helping send this to #1.
I wonder how well this will age, from a production standpoint? The 80's weren't kind to many musicians. Will time be kind to the 2020's synth pop? I doubt it.
My daughter is on vacation. Down the line when she thinks of California will this album come to mind in the way Nothing Compares 2 U does for me?
It's catchy. As long as I listen to it without people judging me for listening to it, it's really really good. She's not a kid anymore and this is far removed from teenybopper pop.
She can really write. Shockingly well.
It's endearing how she opens her heart and invite you in. No wonder why she's so popular, especially with women.
Time to switch back to my regularly scheduled tortured music before someone walks in and blows my cover.
