Contrary to the opinions of some critics, Pitchfork believes that Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” is a regression.

Pitchfork – a prestigious American music criticism magazine – has scored Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department a mere 6.6 and the accompanying double album 6.0 points. This made fans extremely surprised when the score for the new album was too low for the female singer.

To explain this score, Pitchfork commented that the music of the singer born in 1989 was much more meaningful and better, that she was naturally talented at telling stories, knowing how to gather her emotions to turn them into stories. songs that cannot be erased, that she can turn every emotion into art. However, it all disappeared in the 11th studio album. This magazine also affirmed the growing gap between artist Taylor Swift and “phenomenon” Taylor Swift as audience expectations are increasingly high, but the female star Why can’t you respond to that?

“Even in its stripped-down version, the album feels rambling, where Swift’s writing, while unrestrained, clearly needs an editor. The title track is a farce about seriousness . She piles up dense metaphors, throws them at the wall even when something gets stuck, picks up things that can’t stick to the wall and uses them anyway,” Pitchfork commented critically. for the new album from today’s biggest star.

Also according to this magazine, before releasing the album, the female singer made the audience believe that this was a product that showed her extremely private and unprecedented inner life. “I’ve never had an album that required as much writing as The Tortured Poets Department,” Taylor told the audience before its release.

However, Pitchfork also mentioned that the American singer has often used songs to talk about personal matters since breaking up with Joe Jonas in 2008. “What has changed is not the intimate way of writing lyrics, but the is an appetite for the minutiae of Swift’s life and how much she’s giving it to people,” Pitchfork explained of why the album is getting more attention, “Clues and Words Keys may have been scattered throughout the lyrics”.

This music magazine believes that audiences are obsessed with Taylor (she’s not at fault for this) but the problem is that the album shows that the female artist herself cannot “hear herself clearly over the cheers of the singer.” audiences”. In addition, critics believe that songs based on sensational broken love stories are not really excellent, tending to “suffocate” the listener more instead of feeling pain and ache.

‘The melodies feel like they were created to fit the music, not the other way around.’

The American magazine also expressed disappointment that the multi-Grammy award-winning star is following the same path, continuing her old music formula and not having new colors. For example, many songs sound somewhat similar, such as I can do it with a broken heart which reminds listeners of Mastermind from Midnights, or So Long, London which has a beginning similar to My Tears Ricochet from folklore.

To sum up the 11th album, Pitchfork commented: “It’s unruly, unedited and a little tortured”.
