Any Taylor Swift - Folklore fans here? Normally I would expect flaming for this but since this album was basically written by Aaron Dessner of the National, it's worth giving a listen.

We got a whole Taylor Swift thread for you, buddy.

There's a swath of RM that digs it (myself included). Then you've got other too-cool-for-school-ers who want to hurl pejoratives and insult fans. Thankfully, they're the minority. Then you've got a healthy group of intelligent posters who really don't like the album and can offer valid criticism. Basically, we're like an embodiment of the whole internet but less terrible on balance. :)

I'm glad not everyone in this place has lost their mind this summer.
Maybe that's my problem - I might give this another try in the Summer - see if that changes my perception of this

But not about perfect enough, obviously, to be a top album of this year because her last album is so much more perfect that it negates this one.

You didn't say that. I was projecting because I'm insecure and hypersensitive about my opinions.

It was also a bit of a dig at verb. Because he did imply that FTBC can't be album of the year because it isn't as good as IW. But mostly, the insecure thing.

I haven't made a top 10 list yet, but I am sure Fetch the Boltcutters is in there. It's a great album

It has a big lead on my top ten. Margo Price and My Morning Jacket are up there but a ways behi d.
Think I’m going to try being kind to everyone a chance.
