S.F. Sorrow

It's EXACTLY my kind of thing. But it wasn't mind blowing. May as well just listen to The Beatles. They sound very similar but of course The Beatles are better.

Taylor Swift

2/5

I hate those swifties who look to her lyrics as gospel. She's not a good lyricist, her lyrics are elementary. But what did I expect? Nothing. It's over-produced and over-hyped tripe. If you want good lyrics google Gareth Paisey. It's primary school disco music and if I'm honest I can vibe to it, there is a reason she is so popular. I've always despised over-produced music, when each beat is made by a computer, I know that she can actually play instruments which is why I prefer her later stuff. But the fact that all her songs are autobiographical, that they are all her just complaining about her terrible life, it makes my ears bleed. It feels like she has no opinions, she's so inoffensive it's offensive. Yet, Shake It Off is a great pop song and is the only reason this is two stars. And I have to say she is a good singer, though I don't like her voice and never have, I can appreciate that.

High Violet

The National

I usually love The National, Boxer is such a great album but this album feels repetitive and boring compared to it.
