    Taylor, Serban, Laura and Jack Antonoff, are practically a dream team. Theyve won two Album of the years in a 3 year span

    Taylor being a strong lyricist i have seen hundreds of people talk about the words used in her songs, but seeing a sound enigneer talking about the little things and technicalities is so nice.

    I love to hear professional artists / engineers to talk about music. Very interesting. Just FYI. There are 20 tracks. The full album has 7 more tracks on the 3am edition. As far as sound and production is concerned, I really love track 20 Dear Reader, Glitch is interesting production, Wouldve Couldve Shouldve is arguably one of her best songs she's written. Basically, these 7 tracks are worth listening to in order to complete the story.

      @@oriyanbarnes it’s underrated. It’s because it’s slow imo. The bridge is fire & the production is one of my faves on the album

    Thank you so much for acknowledging that You're One Your Own Kid *does* have a climax (and a few of those at that)!💜
    Bc some people say it never gets big and like ??? I never got that
    In addition to that, there is a big lyrical climax to that song, and Taylor's songs are all about lyricism

    Loved the reaction and analysis 💜💜💜

    I think that subtle noise that's going on top from side to side that creates movement you're talking about on the track Midnight Rain is like a very nice depiction of thoughts that we usually have during midnights, when everything's quiet but we're still wide awake swimming in our own thoughts

  • @alohasargent
    @alohasargent Год назад +13

    Great video! Agree with others that I'd be interested in hearing your reaction to the 3AM edition. Also maybe her Folklore album? It's totally different, so could be a good comparison.

    I love how you explain all of the things I’ve heard and noticed, but never noticed music in layered sense(depth and width actually made sense to me!). Thank you! 💕
    I also immediate understood what you meant by the doing going from grandma giving you a cookie and grandma giving a hug. Today would have been my gram’s 90th bday 🎉 13:19

    Interesting hearing what a mix engineer thinks of this and hears. I was never a Taylor fan, but got into this album after hearing Anti-Hero and as someone whose been interested in music production for a long time I noticed how good the sound was. I think this would be one of my go to albums for detailed listening, A/Bing and and trying to reverse engineer the tricks of the masters. If someone made a reality show of this album being made and explained each piece of gear, why it was used, what each knob did, what made them turn the knobs they did and what they hoped to achieve with each turn...I'd watch.

    The contrast between verses and choruses comes down to songwriring imo. Its VERY intentional on Taylor's part

    Gone Now by Bleachers (Jack Antonoff's band, Taylors producer) has some cool elements to it I think you'll might enjoy :)

    This this! 100x this! My daughter is a swiftie and was playing music in my car one night and we put this album on, and I fell hard for it. Largely for the production and sound.
    The comment about bass frequencies in the 20-40 Hz range is spot on! I love the dark pop/trip hop/synth and white noise style production here, and has pulled me into the swiftieverse as a casual observer but big fan of this album!
    My only dig is that at high volume (I have a ridiculous car stereo) her vocals start to lose some relative output. Probably because she sings more softly, which is actually part of the charm.
    Great review. I saw one other review from a RUclipsr who is a composer that was also really great. Talking about her choice of space and silence and contrast.
    Very cool stuff!

    I’ve been asking reactors with good stuff: what headphones are you using? I want new headphones, but I want something to hear the nuances. I want to keep it under $200, something I can Bluetooth or plug into iPhone/iPad. Any recommendations?

    Isn't it a little disrespectful to react to a Taylor Swift album with only 14 minutes?
