I wont do ratings cos I havent decided on that yet, but here's mine
The 1
I like this cos I too thought she's just gonna talk about Joe forever so it's nice to see her exploring a story about an ex (even if it's not about her)
Cardigan
I didnt like this on the first listen cos it was too Lana. Still wondering why it was chosen as the first 'single'. But I dont think it's possible to do the bait and switch first single with this album. It's a grower, great bridge.
The last great american dynasty
I loved listening to this the first time with the reveal that she bought the house and she was now the crazy woman they talked about living there. Reminds me of the lucky one.
Exile
Dont like Bon Iver's voice personally and I wish it wasnt a duet, but I love the metaphor. And I prefer it to the last time.
My tears ricochet
I try not to think about this being about Scott cos I like it as a love story gone wrong. Really great song, I approve as track 5!
Mirrorball
My least favourite. I think the imagery of a mirrorball doesnt go with the general vibe and old fashioned America I get from this album. And I just generally dont like it. BUT I think it couldve worked so well on Lover as track 5 and the archer could've come on folklore
Seven
Starts off cute, then gets sad Great descriptions and imagery of running around in fields as a kid
August
Love this, a highlight of the album! Couldve been first single (if it was august lol)
This is me trying
This was a skipper for me but I'm getting more into it.
Illicit Affair
My current fav. Makes me think I've been in this situation when I havent! The a million little times part makes me sad.
Invisible String
Very cute. It's a lot easier to digest songs about Joe now they've been together longer. Love the joe jonas line too. He makes it on another album haha!
Mad Woman
This one is ok, a bit boring maybe
Epiphany
I too think it's about medics then and now. It's a bit wishy washy though and dont fully get the lyrics.
Betty
I like this but not as much as everyone else. I like the part with the f word the most, doesnt feel gratuitous
Peace
Like the lyrics but not the format of the song really.
Hoax
Very simple arrangement, curious if this is a Betty story or a Taylor story (or both)
