"Those two things are not alike.  
1) is a radical shift in what popular music sounded like.  
2) is more or less just a continuation of the same"

Nice summary.

@tylermunns  a review of the new Swift album that echoes your observations about Antonoff. I agree with the review and so far as this new album is completely forgettable. 

@simao He got in on that one too, eh?
Good for him.

Just gave the Taylor Swift album a first listen while doing some photo work at my desk; I quite liked it; reminded me of Lana Del Rey, actually, and I like Lana. Good tunes, good lyrics, often quite dark. 👍

Many of the negative comments remind me of the comments made about Joni, Dylan, and even Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue! Stop being old cranky MEN and open your mind….

Is she writing music like Mozart? No. Does she sing like Stills? No. But then neither does Dylan, Clapton, Blackmore nor Alicia Keys, to name just a few.
