Okay, time to get serious. (This is for the Swifties only.)

Top 5 tracks:
1. Peter
2. Guilty as Sin?
3. The Bolter
4. Down Bad
5. How Did it End?

Honorable mentions go to The Black Dog, Fortnight (which has GROWN on me), Clara Bow, and So Long London. And to the bridge of imgonnagetyouback and to the bridge ONLY.

Here are my controversial yet brave opinions:

I like I Look in People’s Windows. Florida!, I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can), and thanK you aIMee are all skips for me. I know I’m going to get crucified by the Florence fans and she’s great, I just am always more excited to listen to a different song and I end up skipping it.

If I have to choose a camp to fall into, it’s the Dessner production camp over the Antonoff one, HOWEVER, if you need a vaguely 80s synth sound (a la the title track), Antonoff is your dude. Though I’m still hurting from the fact that he couldn’t match Max Martin’s production of Style and now it sounds weird.

In conclusion is this my new favorite ever TS album? No. But I do think she popped off specifically in the bridge department and she was already queen of bridges so what does that make her? Empress? Goddess? I’m still an Evermore girly, but also the asylum theme IS relatable and I can’t knock it. I, too, feel gaslight and crazy. Thankfully, not by Matty Healy. Ew. Just by, like, society.
