Taylor Swift: Reputation
- Thread starter JetBlackPanda
- Start date
The first verse and bridge to the chorus is great and prepares you for something massive, but then it's a bit like letting the air out of a balloon and the whole track just nosedives into a meandering, directionless mess. It almost sounds like a shit remix of a great song, the way her voice just hangs over a really empty and boring backing track.
Terrible, lazy ending as well - the way it just abruptly stops says a lot about the lack of structure.

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
Joanne...
Ok sis... I'll give it a listen this weekend.
I'm trusting you here.
I told my friend @ work to listen to Serpent's song to see what she thought. She "hated it at first, but it gets really catchy after the first couple of times".
Sigh!
Kanye gonna have to get up on stage again SMH

I'm sorry the be that guy, but....
Damn, Taylor must be doing something right, because this neogaf thread is super big for a pop song. She's definitely succeeds in creating controversy enough for people to care.

That song is just awful, sounds like some sort of shitty Gaga and Meghan Trainor mashup.

Even if the song is bottom-tier, its all the drama that has created one of the biggest pop moments of the year. She is definitely making a statement, even if her song is mediocre.

I don't doubt Republican will hit #1 on the charts but I doubt this will sell anywhere close to 1989 numbers.
I'll think it'll be her Views. Monster hit but panned by critics & fans alike.

There is nothing wrong with stanning one of the best pop singers.

Ok, you have a point. 2nd best then😋
lol at bunnybear thinking that anyone but them gives a single fuck about record sales
god I wish Taylor's lyrics and vocals on this track were better because I really do like the production. She's almost biting Kilo Kish on the hook and I think it works but the things she's saying are egregiously obnoxious.

I actually kinda liked it but holy shit the "the old Taylor is dead" part on the phone was pure 100% unfiltered all-natural cringe.

My daughter dissed it and I never thought that would happen. "She's all like emo or something now." 😆

I adored 1989 but I think this song is super rough. It sounds like 3 different tracks just somewhat randomly mashed together

I am not going to be able to handle hearing this on the radio 20 times a day. The verses are fine, but once it gets to the part where it repeats "look what you made me do" a billion times, I want to do physical harm to my ear drums.
I've mentioned this a couple of times on here, but it is interesting all the talk of star power not being a thing any more in Hollywood. Which I think does seem to have some truth to it. But, it is certainly alive and well in the music industry. Miley Cyrus' new song is just beyond boring, and is approaching a billion views on youtube. If that were just a random youtuber putting that out, no one on earth would give it a second listen. But, the pop industry still knows how to get people to latch on to their stars.

god damn lol. this shit is good.
Yeah. That "look what you made me do" bit is... really bad. Like it feels like she's playing her fans or something, saying "oh, too bad I just have to basically not have a chorus. You made me do this."

May I ask out of pure curiosity what aspects of the song you liked? I found myself wholly indifferent to the song and I didn't understand what she was referring to when she said "look what you made me do". Who made her do what, exactly and what was the result of what she did?
I still don't understand. Any/context help would be appreciated and being that you liked the song I assume you have the context I need.

because that's like a central theme of the late-era Swift aesthetic, c'mon man.
That's amazing!

Shit... this thread doesn't even have a real defense force for this song.
Harsh.

I think Katy Perry's swish swish song lowered my expectations for this terrible feud music. "You're about as cute as an old coupon expired"
