    Eh. Only good song is You Need to Calm Down. Singles for the album are terrible, especially ME!. The ‘hey kids, spelling is fun!’ is the most cringe worthy line I’ve ever heard in my life. Not even Brandon Urie could save this album.

    Very phony and imo unauthentic sound and lyrics. This album does not sound authentic and I cannot wrap my finget around what it is that gives me that impression, other than the fact that Taylor is not a particularly deep artist.

    Pop music has grown tired of the same tropes and instrumentation, but Taylor strives to rise above that. The fans, however, attack Tool, one of the greatest bands in history, and Lana Del Rey's new album NFR, which is critically acclaimed as the best album released by a female this decade. Sorry. U get a 0.

    totally cliché and voicing pseudo "gooey" musics. A children's album and instead of showing Taylor's advancement, it regressed a lot in terms of quality. 1989, for me, remains her last album, as both reputation and Lover are two SOUND POLLUTING BOMBS

    Sad about so bad. She got lost and on this album makes it clear with these basic and unoriginal productions, it's like you were listening to an old album. There is nothing new, a bum album with some dirty and unnecessary lyrics. Nothing is saved. THE WORST OF THE YEAR!

    Imperdonable lo que hizo Taylor con este álbum, excepto los singles no hay por donde coger el resto del disco. Viniendo de una era como reputation y pese a que ya era hora de que sacara algo de este estilo, se queda muy atrás del nivel pop que traía con los anteriores.

    On an album premised on leaving the past behind, these are the songs that suggest a way forward. In recent years, it’s been clear that the less Swift sets her own terms, the more challenges she’ll face. And so on “Lover,” she’s back to steering.

    Just having noticed this was her most critically-acclaimed album to date, I gave it a listen and was appalled at the rating. She is in her 30s, a grown woman, and was more mature at age 15.

    The lyrics are embarrassing and tone-deaf; she waited over a decade to make any kind of sociopolitical statement (or any statement at all, in fact, that wasn’t directly pertaining to her being victimized and purportedly wronged by the public, other famous women and her string of exes alike), and her contribution? “YOU NEED TO CAAAALM DOWN, YOU'RE BEING TOOOO LOUD.” If only
    Taylor took her own highly patronizing advice and shut her offkey mouth.

    And, unsurprisingly, the lead single, “Me!” is another juvenile egocentric embarrassment, as observed via the title alone. There’s a very good reason she stopped winning Grammys as of her two most recent records; the whining child persona is not charming, and content remains as dull as Swift herself. Her only saving grace thus far has been decent lyrics, so given she is perpetually 30 going on 13, it appears her expiration date has finally arrived.    … Expand

    This album is just a typical generic pop album. It’s actually the same as all of her old ones. Literally has not shown any growth musically and/or lyrically. In fact, I believe that the last couple albums of hers have actually been on a steady decline of quality. Her fans need to take her advice and calm down when tearing down other artists who release albums around the same time as her.

    Lover sounds like Taylor's attempt to go back to her sound that get her lots of praise years ago, but unfortunately she falls flat on her feet. Her lyrics have gone down and now sound like something a high school student would write. The production is okay, Taylor's voice is okay, she's not a vocalist. What else can she bring to the table other than songwriting?

    Ultimately, Lover is overstuffed and meandering, but serves as a positive reprieve from her past struggles in the public eye, and represents an artist at the peak of her creativity, power, and—one hopes—continued romantic bliss.
