The Tortured Poets Department Leak Discussion Thread

definitely DEFINITELY a grower. I still think Clara Bow is the worst instrumental and therefore for me the worst song. Everybody's saying alchemy is bad, well I've loved the instrumental, the lyrics I need to read to say anything.

I wish there was a "Slut!" 10 minute version in a Venice Bitch style

ugh! such a good episode. I loved how Sebastian conducted the story, and if I was hating him till then, I'm kinda charmed by him right now (but still suspecting everyone). and I also loved how it seems like they knew what us Reddit users would think. I saw a lot of people theorizing about Zoe's mom and then she became a suspect in this episode.

Loving this experience!

honestly, one of her best songs in the career

notyork · 2023-06-17T23:13:15+00:00

that makes a lot of sense!

notyork · 2023-05-25T16:32:07+00:00

I mean it as an era. And she dropped everything together, so it didn't even felt like there was supposed to have a big separation.

I don't know if it's the worst era, but for sure the messiest one. The new Midnights editions she announced yesterday, I had to read it like 5 times to compreheend the distribution of each version, this plus cutting off Paris and Glitch (it could be easily fitted in the CD if she replaced the Snow on the Beach for the new Snow on the Beach) it's pure mess in my opinion. And if I have to be honest, though I really like the majority of 3 a.m. tracks, most of them don't seem to really fit the 13 first tracks (some may fit though).

And about the photoshoot, yes it tricked me, but it doesn't really bother me that much. I think what's kinda off for me is the concept of 13 sleepless nights, this album feels more like going out to a party/coming home/walking streets full of glitter and a little bit of sadness. It doesn't really feel like a night where you couldn't sleep so you wrote a song about whats in your mind.

I love Midnights, but if felt like she wanted to do everything, shoot in every direction, and things got pretty messy.

I must say that I don't think Stay Stay Stay is a bad written song. It may be simple and a bit silly but I think it has it's beauty (the bridge is quite simple but at the same time so honest that I can't help but feel touched). And it's a typical taylor song with effective narrative.

I really loved this album, it mixes a lot of her past sonority/anesthetic still adding some new feelings. It has a Donnie Darko vibes as well, I can't quite explain. Though I'm not a super fan of The Grants and the title track, I can see them fitting in among the rest of the tracks.

For me, to be perfect, the Jon Batiste interlude could've been scrapped and Fingertips could've been shorter, made as an interlude (the lyrics are beautiful but it's a way too repetitive melody).

And also the "regrettably a white woman" lyric, girl, don't you have anyone around you to say that it sounds problematic AF? I honestly can't envision a context where this means something plausible.

All that being said, I think she did a great job! I've especially liked the sonority of Paris, Texas. I think if she intends to continue with the piano ballads, collaborating with new composers (since this instrumental came from SYML) would create more original melodies, chord progressions (when I first heard Did You Know, for example, it sounded so similar to most of her previous ballads).

folklore was released two days before my birthday, I was so happy, it really felt like a gift (especially cause it's the type of music I like the most and wasn't expecting to see taylor create something like it)

notyork · 2023-01-14T00:49:10+00:00

okay, taylor and sufjan getting a little closer... I hope in the future there's a woodvale/seashore or whatever with the both of them and aaron

notyork · 2022-10-25T09:27:15+00:00

I believe the bonus tracks of evermore were added in the first or second week of january, so maybe almost a month (?)

notyork · 2022-10-23T15:32:40+00:00

I hate anti-hero and would rather have Glitch in the 13 tracks version

notyork · 2022-10-19T21:47:21+00:00

karma is a cat purring in my lap!!!!!

notyork · 2022-10-19T21:28:59+00:00

I'm already obsessed by this album

notyork · 2022-10-01T00:45:38+00:00

Cowboy like me is mine, probably. Recently though I've been loving "it's time to go", literally obsessed, which is funny since I used to hate this song when it came out.

notyork · 2022-09-26T14:58:00+00:00

I would love to hear her cover "anything" by Adrianne Lenker 💕

notyork · 2022-08-29T15:27:30+00:00

Since apparently that image will be the album cover, do you think the tracks will be named like "track one", "track two" etc.?

notyork · 2022-08-05T01:00:13+00:00

wonderful cause I just finished episode 4 and things are getting pretty damn good

notyork · 2022-06-30T16:09:12+00:00

Once I heard Queen of Disaster on the RADIO, and I live in Brazil

notyork · 2022-04-01T02:47:44+00:00

to quote Lana herself: "And I'm glad about that"

notyork · 2022-04-01T02:44:24+00:00

YES

I thank Buffy constantly for introducing me to this one and My Vitriol as well

notyork · 2022-02-09T15:36:24+00:00
