I wish Hubbard’s first time in a boat was the Titanic
I care only about him in the context of the podcast. And a teeny tiny bit as the brother of a Tour player. Everything else… screw it.
Besides, @SergioTracker, he probably would have totally been the Billy Zane character.
This.
I managed a fair few plays on a long drive to work, and it grew even on 2nd listen. The toes start to tap and you recognise bits.
Just got to be the weirdo who listens to it on repeat for a while!
‘Wood’ also has some lines in it I didn’t hear clearly until the 3rd time
Redwood tree, it ain’t hard to see
His love was the key that opened my thighs
Oooh-errr
My only observation is this is now two straight albums where the best song is the title track
To me it’s always been a fine line with cringey/corny on one side and clever on the other. I always winced at the “this sick beat” verse, for example.
Maybe the best example is Sabrina’s “my give a fucks are on vacation” still cracks me up but I read an article some dweeb wrote basically calling that line the death of pop music.
To steal one of dj pie’s pet phrases, Taylor being a huge dork is baked in. Sometimes she sounds like a teenager trying to be edgy when they aren’t. It’s part of the charm.
Ruin the Friendship also has a riff that’s making me think of another song but I can’t put two and two together and it’s bugging me
Seeing everyone compare Taylor’s last two albums while my girl hasn’t even released one in that span;
And here I thought you were commenting about Taylor’s sexual innuendos.
Ooh, disagree there. Last album for sure, and probably this one too.
Likewise.
This, to me, is a nice way to say it’s not great. Great albums do become greater as you listen more, but great albums do not need multiple listens for one to know they’re great. Pearl Jam’s Ten, great from the first note and it’s obvious.
This album, meh. And some really atrocious lyrics. I do not need songs telling me Travis Kelce is well hung.
The title of that song is, “Wood.”
You don’t need to be an English major to spot a dick reference…
It’s like the Pixies mixed with Olivia Rodrigo lyrics/melody…
So now Taylor is stealing from Olivia? 
What if everyone thinks its about Travis, but actually it’s secretly Jackson Mahomes?
Look, I’m just saying that was 100% the vibe I got when I listened to that song…
Is anything truly original anymore 
LOL
She definitely had to dumb it down so that Travis would understand
