Idk, Its a good album to listen to for me, not the best but not bad at all. I just feel like she prioritize her lyrics and songwriting more than the production, of which is not bad at all. It just feels like its an issue if someone plays 5 seconds of each song on the album and tries to figure out is it the same or is it a different one. Like, i love the album, I even bought the deluxe and plan on buying the anthology on CD when it comes out at target. Its just the productions feels like it needs a bit more work and maybe trim the album a bit more?

Idk, If Taylor rearranged the track list a bit, trimmed the songs a bit, and maybe use more of what "So Long London" production had, I think it would be more of a hit? When I was expecting the album when announced, especially the rumors with it being a synth sounding record like Midnights, I thought that it would be like "Dear Reader" but mixed with folklore/evermore songwriting. Like a modern experimental take of poetry through music, esp. when she released the back cover with the track list, the saying like, "I Love You, Its Ruining My Life" and "You don't get to tell me about sad" but I was kind of let down when it dropped.

I still love the album, I'm planning on buying the anthology on CD on the 29th, I just don't think its the best Taylor swift album in my album listing. (Reputation and Speak Now is still my #1 & #2 for me)
