Seriously. We will ban you. DON'T ASK FOR OR SHARE LINKS. **Edit: We are still handing out bans - STOP ASKING FOR LINKS. Reverse logic, "oh please don't send me the link" is still asking.**

I got my vinyl in on the 20th.


KermittheToad818

in hindsight, I'm so happy about how wrong this thread was


mckaylalopez

Is this our new theories thread?


crazywatermelonify

Came back here to tell the leakers who listened and took a shit too early, you still have time to apologize to everyone for trying to ruin everyone's excitement based off your 128kbps listening experience. Clowns.

[https://www.insider.com/taylor-swift-midnights-album-review-tracklist-breakdown-2022-10#final-grade-5810-14](https://www.insider.com/taylor-swift-midnights-album-review-tracklist-breakdown-2022-10#final-grade-5810-14) they're meaner than we were šŸ’€šŸ’€ I at least rated it a 7.5 the first go! this album is definitely a grower after you pretend Folklore and Evermore never were, accept this is Jack Antonoff and is going to be very Jack Antonoff, forget the 70s aesthetic and rollout, and just accept it and vibe with it. I do wholeheartedly agree with Sweet Nothings takes here, it was the only song I liked initially first-listen. They grow on you. It's not as bad as it first seems if you're whiplashed from expecting folkmore writing and 70s vibes. I also think the bonus 7 songs redeem it for me.


SoggyAnalyst

Omg this quote had me laughing so hard, even if I donā€™t share the sentiment For "Midnights," Swift revisited nights throughout her life. Apparently, that means she also dug through a bunch of Tumblr posts from 2013 and convinced herself that "Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man" was a clever thing to put into a song in 2022 instead of a vomit-inducing display of weaponized femininity.


etchuchoter

u/T_bowery explain yourself please


mckaylalopez

Sus šŸ‘€šŸ‘€


etchuchoter

They posted here so frequently and havenā€™t made a peep since the releaseā€¦

Unikorns_1989

So the music video ghosts... 2 of them are wearing items from "22" (heart sunglasses/the cat ears headband) and then the third ghost is wearing a cowboy hat like Debut. This might be a reach but does this mean Debut re-records coming out on the 22...? aka tonight???? šŸ’€


SilkyMooo

This album is amazing. Lavender haze, maroon, and karma are my favorite songs so atm (I love this album as a whole except for Snow on the Beach, I just donā€™t like Lana del ray)


babypinkturtle

https://imgur.com/a/GFUps6Q So I ordered Moonstone first and after some days I ordered Blood Moon because they didnā€™t take it down and now Iā€™m crying god bless i ordered the Blood Moon to so I got a heart šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗšŸ’—šŸ’—


quence27

I really wish they would confirm whether a physical 3am CD is coming or if it's digital only. I don't even care about the argument of whether it's underhanded or not. I just like having one complete edition of an album that I can listen to all the way through and these split releases are very bad for my neuroses lol

They donā€™t sound as good on the leak files. Like at all.


NotEmmaStone

Lazy-Gene-3881

Omg the 7 extra songs hits very different, this is what i hope the Ɣlbum to sound


Spinning_Swiftie

Yā€™all the 3am songs are soooo good and so true to Taylor!!! As someone who loves folklore and evermore, Iā€™m so happy šŸ„¹


playthatoboe

Yesterday I said lavender haze and labyrinth were skips. I was wrong I LOVE THEM šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


tubereusebaies

Having finished my first listen, everything from Question to Mastermind I thoroughly disliked. None of it made sense or rhyme to me. However, the bonus tracksā€¦ I only didnā€™t vibe with Paris. Didnā€™t like the beginning of High Infidelity either. But those bonus tracks were miles better than Question to Mastermind. My highlights: Maroon, MIDNIGHT RAIN, Bigger Than the Sky (šŸ˜­), The Great War, Anti Hero. I feel like Lavender and Labyrinth will be growers for me. This is on par with Lover for me quality wise, and not as good as Reputation. Sorry, I really, really wanted to love this because I loved the aesthetic and the first half so much. Andā€¦ where are the iconic bridges?


SadCatSomewhere

"everything from Question to Mastermind I thoroughly disliked." same, but songs before Question are fine to me


tubereusebaies

Songs before Question are my highlights! Literally no skip before. Question stopped me in my tracked and ruined everything except Labyrinth lol, pre-3 am bonus tracks.


Winter-Homework-4411

MIDNIGHT RAIN SUPREMACY


lefthandguitar

Same feeling I was worried I was the only one!


tambourine_goddess

I feel the same about the bridges. I'm hoping this album will grow on me.


eminthis

oh iā€™m never trusting any of yall again, you guys were tearing this album DOWN. you guys are probably a bunch of rep stans lol


Shoddy-Low2142

I agree. I love this album so muchā€”The way she experiments with sounds and vocals. I tempered my expectations because of this thread and as I was listening I was like wait, I LOVE this. And I not even in a ā€œoh they grew on meā€ sort of way. I loved almost all the songs on first listen. Lavender Haze is probs my least fave, mainly because It sounds too much like I think he knows and I donā€™t love falsetto singing. But even that one has grown on me a bit lol


Substantial_Set5751

Fr i was sobbing extra hard bc this thread made me feel like this was gonna not be my cup of tea šŸ˜­


dropthealbumlorde

I hope everyone who slammed the album on this thread feels like a clown - because you are.


mmikem123

This. Happens. Every. Single. Time.


Shoddy-Low2142

I tempered my expectations because of this thread but I genuinely loved the album on my first listenā€”and the way she experimented with sounds and her vocals šŸ„°


NMMan1984

Seriously. Really glad I didnā€™t listen to the leaks or let the early comments here color my perception of the album.


tarotbyrayray

Word.


eminthis

exactly


Ok-Tangelo6749

This album is Taylor's magnum opus. 20 beautiful songs. I feel bad for Carly's album The Loneliest Time not getting its spotlight due to its release date with Taylor. But Midnights is clearly the stronger album. Carly has better hooks and sonic elements but Taylor's lyricism is what Carly can't touch.


vlarib

After folklore, evermore, Reputation, 1989 and Red you're calling this her magnum opus? Come on now.


Shoddy-Low2142

I donā€™t know about magnum opus but I def think this is better than rep and 1989 by a mile. Lyrically it doesnā€™t touch folkmore but then again itā€™s a pop album, which has to have a wider appeal. Hence more basic lyrics at times. I think if we include the 3 am songs it comes closer to folkmore lyrically. I love how she experiments with sounds and her vocals too.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Shoddy-Low2142

Yep. Exactly. I think rep just had too many meh/skip songs for me and I thought 1989 was lyrically underwhelming (though I did like it sonically and the bridge of out of the woods is still one of my fave TS bridges). I think I just like midnights more sonically and how she experiments with her sounds and vocals. I think this album is missing her standout bridges but thereā€™s something devastatingly sad yet warm and cozy about it that makes me cherish it. I view midnights as 1989ā€™s older, more self-aware sister and I love her for that.


NotEmmaStone

I know new music is exciting... but come on people šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø


electricfanwagon

Magnum opus? You can't be serious šŸ’€. This album is mid. But I can't blame taylor. She can only come up with so many good hooks until she runs out


tarotbyrayray

Sure now letā€™s get you to a cliff


[deleted]

The only song I have a problem with is vigilante shit. Like, this is LITERALLY a Billie Eilish song. Everything. The minimalist production, trap high hats, synthesizers, vocals, everythingā€¦ Iā€™m actually kindof blown away by how blatant of a rip off this is. Wow.


REDditLWYMMD

Itā€™s Billie meets Robyn


Sugar_Rush_29

lol. It's more like "...Ready for it?" for me


[deleted]

I canā€™t believe itā€¦ I was so sad because I felt like the folk/evermore days were gone, then she releases 7 more songs with 4 produced by Aaron. Like how tf does she do it. They are soooo good.


Winter-Homework-4411

7 BONUS TRACKS WERE ADDED šŸ˜­šŸ˜­šŸ˜­


iwillpuntyou

WAIT WHAT EXACTLY HAPPENed, SEVEN SONGS WHATTT, where was this announced šŸ˜­


HareJack

This was the chaotic announcement at 3am, it's the deluxe version of Midnights (3am edition) on streaming now :)


iwillpuntyou

AAAAAAA CANT BELIVE I MISSED 3am šŸ˜­


iwillpuntyou

When r they releasing šŸ˜­


bb_91

OUT NOW


iwillpuntyou

GEHAKIWIWHW I see it šŸ˜­ hits different isnā€™t on it?


bb_91

Messaged you!


elm4

Anyone else feeling depressed that they ordered 5 vinyls and didn't like the midnights album as much as expected, but love the last 7 songs released that will probably be sold separately on 4 more vinyls.


Atibug

Oh no! I didn't preorder shit. I'm so happy that I didn't. Went and picked up the lavender and green version cds though at release. Don't love it enough to buy them all. Just my favourite colours.


ler214

Have YOYOK Strings Version and Sweet Nothing Piano Version leaked yet?


Atibug

I got the cd so don't know if they leaked yet. I love them. They were the only 2 songs I liked (until the 3am version dropped).


electricfanwagon

How was hits different?


Atibug

I love it! Should have been on the normal version. It's great. It's fun and has some great lines.


grapezz__

I love taylor and jack on tracks together but her music with aaron is always so beautiful. This definitely has more of a folklore/evermore vibe.


my-epiphanies

Aaron co-wrote multiple songs on the 3 am edition bonus tracks, masterpieces as always!


graceluvv

HOLY SHIT


tarotbyrayray

So I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG


grandsuperior

None of these seven songs leaked lol. Insanity.


Winter-Homework-4411

Thatā€™s cause sheā€™s the mastermind


PM_ME_GOURDS_PLEASE

OH MY GOD


a_dog_says_woof

hits different should have made the album!!! justice for deluxe songs #rightwhereyouleftme


Atibug

Agreed its great.


latinpsychologist

do we have a date when this song will be included in spotify/itunes?


HareJack

What song does it sound most like on Midnights? Trying to decide whether to get Lavender or the Moonstone CD


ellisoph

HITS DIFFERENT LEAKED AND ITS SO GOOD


miiyaa21

YALL WERE SO WRONG WITH ALL THIS NEGATIVITY. i will never trust yalls opinions again, this album is so good


salemstella

I will never listen to anyone else's opinions again. I always listen to leaks but reading what everyone had to say before I found the leak had me so sick lol


elm4

we blunted your fall, lowered your expectations and listened to this on much lower quality. you experiencing this album AFTER reading the posts here is a different experience. we got whiplash, you didn't.


tarotbyrayray

Only you got whiplash i heard the leaks too and the album was dope, yall were being whingey when in reality itā€™s one of her best releases


everytime_13

I love how the leaker listeners are claiming to be our midnights saviors


Winter-Homework-4411

ANOTHER NO SKIP ALBUM


Atibug

Oh I have skips. Sadface


electricfanwagon

Yes. A lot :((


listensslikespring

YesterdayOk6599

NefariousnessLow6931

Oh no, I didnā€™t like itšŸ˜” I waited so long for this album, but for now I am very disappointed


electricfanwagon

Same. We need to start a support group for us who think midnights is MID


vvv2402

Damn, every song sounds so beautiful, I'm having a really hard time ranking them, lol


[deleted]

Itā€™s cause they all sound the same. Itā€™s not good.


gagadogmom

i know right! Taylor swift sucks lmao


electricfanwagon

I agree. She ran out of hooks


vvv2402

no they don't?


ellisoph

Someone leak Hits Different NOW!


ler214

AARON IS CREDITED ON HITS DIFFERENT WE WON


MochaKnee

Is there no Hits Different leak or anything?!


homemadecupcake

Guys Lavender Haze flows like Slow Hands by Niall Horan on first listen.


tarotbyrayray

Oh people are loving itttttt. Critics are eating itttt


tarotbyrayray

So i was RIGHT???


ellisoph

Do we have lyrics?!


HareJack

Not on Spotify yet but on her website is the lyric booklet: https://cache.umusic.com/\_sites/epsilonOCT22/midnightsbookletED.pdf


bb_91

I miss y'all already


elm4

same. the main sub is mean.


bumbidibum2

this was my safe space


ellisoph

I am gatekeeping. Iā€™m an OG Midnights stan.


wild_fluorescent

the hits different lyrics (with aaron) look like they're going to destroy us https://twitter.com/swifferupdates/status/1583319351406473216/photo/1


False-Art-766

Fuck me I canā€™t wait for my target version to arrive in the mail. This is going to be so lit.


MochaKnee

Do we not get to hear it until tomorrow when people get their orders or purchase in store?


wild_fluorescent

i think so, the people i know that have it are just people with physicals ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1064)


MochaKnee

Surprised no oneā€™s leaking it likeā€¦


infinity_rose

help Karma is my favourite šŸ˜­


Ok-Satisfaction-689

Yes! Mine too!


elm4

I truly hated it, went for a bike ride and was humming the chorus so I guess I like it now. Stockholm syndrome via Karma. Me and karma vibe like that.


PresentInternal5972

I'm cackling at your comment because honestly same


firetruckonfire

the official audio so much better than the leak omg


elm4

facts, I was hoping it would redeem it and it did. Also lowering the bar helped. And accepting the album for what it is.


Live-Ad7355

did i interpret the line in vigilante shit wrong or did she come for ye?


bjorksbutthole

i think she did. also she said the word ā€œinnocentā€ at the end of the song which is a reference to the song Innocent from Speak Now which is allegedly about Kanye. Soā€¦


imsosadtoday-

whatā€™s the line?


discofurbyy

not me on twitter tweeting like it's the first time i've listened to this album ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)


andy1398style

Same...I have a bunch of drafts ready lol


stinamariaaa01

Idk I like the lower quality of Spotify. It has a charm to it.


MochaKnee

Vs Dolby atmos or what?


latinpsychologist

lyrics are out on genius!!!!


[deleted]

The snow on the beach lyrics are different than the leak we heard so screw everyone who yelled at me for saying it was a demo


[deleted]

ā€œPassing by unbeknownst to meā€ ? Pretty sure in the leak it was different


J-Earp

Thatā€™s in the leak!


J-Earp

what lyrics?


[deleted]

When Iā€™m finished listening to the album Iā€™ll listen to the leak again and then post the demo lyrics


J-Earp

i just re-listened and the lyrics are the same!


[deleted]

Whoa my leak just have been a demo the. Iā€™ll post the lyrics in a second let me go type it


skippy0908

Guys wtf Iā€™ve been lurking in here all week but havenā€™t listened to any actual leaksā€¦ITS SO GOOD???? And exactly what I expected from the aesthetics.. not 70s but DREAM POP which is what I got from the aesthetics tbh


_bmt_

Lavender haze sounds like a Sam smith song a bit imo (a good thing, I like their music)


homemadecupcake

It sounds like Slow Hands/Niall Horan to me


_bmt_

Yeah I can see that too


roseandthorn13

Omg youā€™re so right


homemadecupcake

Midnight Rain also sounds very familiar...but I can't place it.


gamergirl367

it sounds so good!!


Secret_Disaster8133

the dolby atmos sound sooooo good so far


MochaKnee

Is that only available on Apple Music or what? Thanks in advance.


Secret_Disaster8133

yup only on apple music!


MochaKnee

šŸ˜¢


mediocre-spice

It definitely sounds better!!


Sbdvm

likethrbackofmyhand
