Taylor Swift - 1989

people have elevated ryan tedder material before

because if you place the material at ground level, brad, you suffocate

haha

Also I feel like prolego and uberweiss's definition of FUNK is very different from mine.

lol alfred

The single is OK I guess. But one thing for sure I don't wanna be caught listening to it by my friends. Haven't said this regarding a Taylor song before :(

well "we are never" was hyper-pop but it still sounded like her

yeah WANEGBT sounded like knowing self-parody (well, initially it just sounded like self-parody i guess). "shake it off" sounds like anyfuckingone else.

also even one or two more shiny ~pop joints on red would have completely sunk it, and there were only like 3 in the first place. doesn't look like that ratio will be true of 1989 :/

w/e MarkoP you know this is better than peak MJ

the cinematography of this video is gross

"22" kinda underperformed, so i'm a little surprised/intrigued that she's doubling down on letting her young fans know she's older than them

as much as i'm down, very much stated that i'm down with the direction of this record itt, i wish nathan chapman were involved

share j0rd's misgivings about the cheap sound of the beat, max martin's got a very narrow "horn" synth preset

you know who else made a wacky video about not being able to dance? genesis

you know who made a better cheerleader cheer? The Jonas Bros.

Irritated this is bad bc i just, this week, learned to love Taylor Swift.

hey, nathan chapman could still have produced track #11 maybe!

feel like late '80s/early '90s pop had its fake synth horns more kaleidoscopically arranged at least

can only think of "every heartbeat" at the moment though

hope a song on this sounds like "every heartbeat"

With Playing Possum, Simon has largely abandoned plaintive balladeering for a blunt style that means to be aggressively sexy. Aggressive it is — and characteristically ingratiating — but not particularly sexy except on one song, "Attitude Dancing." Easily the most exciting Carly Simon cut since "You're So Vain," "Attitude Dancing" boasts nifty nonsense lyrics by Jacob Brackman and one of Richard Perry's tour de force productions: strutting horns, razorsharp string lines, perfect backup vocals by various luminaries and Jim Gordon's impeccable, essential drumming. Simon's vocal is genuinely sassy; she even lets herself growl a bit.

Simon's new, bolder stance was probably inevitable — it's certainly welcome — since her previous four albums have defined a slow but steady movement away from the "sensitive singer/songwriter" role toward that of "rock" songstress.

tell me this is on spotify soon, i can't listen to real songs yet

and ryan tedder created "hold on" by colbie caillat which is the greatest song of all time

IN TAYLOR I TRUST

i haven't even bothered to put this on my ipod :/

so it's long enough

We need a backlash

it started off with a backlash!

i'm home now so i can dance with my cats to this as taylor intended

the cats will not comment

they're extremely frightened

to be real i think taylor's sensibility is extremely visible in the vocal it's just been floated over to different production

hey

i might buy a physical copy of this, which would be crazy considering i don't do that

this is p fun, im down

brad's got a cat for you, start dancing

he better have enough for all of us. loan me one!

Holy fucking shit

This >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> We Are Never Ever I Can't Even Remember The Rest Of The Name Of That Song

"haters gonna hate" is the most odious expression of the last 40 years so I'm not feeling generous

I see where you're coming from but it is what it is

so the song impacted you then

Decided to action that post after listen-hearing the songmusic

Strangely enough the comeback single that this most reminds me of is "Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na)"

I am so excited about

On first listen it doesn't irritate me the way "We Are Never" did on first listen -- but "We Are Never" grew on me and (for better/worse) had more identifiably Taylor touches than this does. So I dunno. I do agree with this:

this is the kind of song that requires a killer middle-eight to elevate it from catchy ringtone into something truly POP and holy shit does the rap let it down

... because as I was listening ambivalently I thought, "Well, one of her killer bridges could elevate this," and then there was the opposite of a killer bridge.

have you seen the bridge?

Those gated hi hats (I think that's what they're called) gave me a nice http://i.imgur.com/iHHBUZ1.png scare
