NEW ALBUM: Taylor Swift "midnights"
#1
[Image: 220px-Midnights_-_Taylor_Swift.png]

deezer listen:

her tenth studio album and third in the last two years...
well, i loved the sparse feel of the previous two albums ('evermore' and 'folklore') and wasnt sure what she would come out with this time round...
anyway, i put this one in alternative because the two artists i am thinking that this one sounds like would be considered alternative,
so who does this album sound like?....
Lorde crossed with Lana Del Rey IMO...
it is almost 'anti-pop', 'lowfi-pop' or 'downtempo-pop' for want of better descriptions...
music and song structure seems too repetitive for the most part so instead of thirteen separate tracks it almost feels like one long track at times...
not in the same league as the two previous albums (which are her best IMO) and most certainly no straightforward pop to be seen anywhere.
overall, i am a bit underwhelmed and slightly disappointed after one listen.

the track which features Lana Del Rey:



"BTO....Bachman,Turner,Overweight
They were big in the 70s....for five minutes,on a Saturday,after lunch..."  -  Me 2014.

pulled up the album, 13 tracks

I was confused
then found a 3 AM edition with the others included
makes no sense
whatever

okay, i have done a bit of research MH and it looks like the 13 tracks are on the 'standard' cd and black vinyl release.

the remaining tracks are scattered through four different coloured vinyl editions of the album with several remixes and demo tracks plus the 3AM edition" you mentioned.

the vinyl editions are subtitled: "blue", "mahogany", "blood moon" and "jade green" to represent the colour of the vinyl presumably.

apparently when all four are purchased the rear of the covers (when reversed in a certain order) make an image of a clockface striking midnight.

a good gimmick to sell multiple copies of a single album and afterall, every artist seems to be doing things like this over the last decade or so she isnt the first and she wont be the last to do it.
