Taylor tem que se esforçar mais para surpreender, parar de ficar no óbvio , se ariscar mais . E uma artista muito talentosa, mais está ficando sem ideias , tem que inovar mais . Expand

Understood is not the cliché album we used to hear referring to Taylor Swift, but she could use more effort with her productions as them last powerful songs that have made us to reach a high climax. The album could be repetitive and intuitive; she needed more production and a little more of dedication so these nostalgic songs would make feel a climax around the lyrics + sounds. Expand

    Taylor's Swift supposedly tries to bring something more experimental in her music but that's just a fantasy, she brings back the loose and little worked sounds that she has used in most of her albums, making her return to her same comfort zone a quiet album and that supposedly tries to convey something and ends up being the same material that most "Alternative" artists bring us, seriousTaylor's Swift supposedly tries to bring something more experimental in her music but that's just a fantasy, she brings back the loose and little worked sounds that she has used in most of her albums, making her return to her same comfort zone a quiet album and that supposedly tries to convey something and ends up being the same material that most "Alternative" artists bring us, serious concepts worn out and making it seem like an extra album to their previous work.
    Taylor's doesn't risk bringing heavy music that stops sounding like what she's always done.

    It is simply a great album the way in which Taylor retells us stories and in a much more mature way they talk about her evolution as a performer and songwriter, without a doubt Swift did it again, she is not satisfied only with what works to managed to expand his legacy with this great album and with a totally different genre.

    It's a sharp turn to the left for Swift and a fine reminder that she is more than just a gleaming pop phenomenon, but a remarkable songwriter too. [Oct 2020, p.36]
  2. Aug 7, 2020

    A modern-folk masterpiece which finds her moving from her previous pop bangers into stunningly simple yet sharp melodies, ‘folklore’ will be going down in Swiftie history as one of her most unexpected, and undoubtedly one of her best.
  3. 60
    These 16 tracks (17 on the deluxe version) play out quite pleasurably in their entirety, the joins between Swift, Dessner and Antonoff ultimately only of niche interest. But Swift’s powerful songs reach their climaxes with bittersweet orchestrations, rather than blows to the solar plexus or a ringing in the ears. Everything hovers; little truly lands.
