Red Mosquito

Honestly, I don't see this album hanging around too long... it's her Chemtrails over the Country Club

I feel 5 or 6 songs will be played on a regular basis

also, the new video she did looks great. I mean she looks great. And Dita Von Teese.

I don't really know much about Taylor, but I was listening to their latest songs and they reminded me of the Haim sound. Taylor was inspired by the sisters?

Lavender Haze / Maroon is such a fucking great and sexy way to open an album

I agree (but I hope I'm wrong).

I super disagree (Chemtrails is awesome).

I've only listened to the record once (and I haven't listened to 3am yet). I think I really love this album. But somehow I also agree that it's staying power is capped, oddly.

If I'm totally honest, I found myself more pulled in and focused on my first listen of this than I did on the previous two. I think Taylor's big strength is lyrics/storytelling. And I never find myself to compelled to put on Folklore or Evermore. I just never want to listen to them. But I think a big part of that is that I haven't ever listened to them with headphones. I've never moved round my listening. I haven't spent much time with the lyrics.

This new one I did listen to on headphones, while walking around (which, much like Moon Shaped Pool, is the best way to listen to this) and I really keyed into the words. Which might be why my first impression of this is so much stronger than the previous two -- and I like the previous two a lot, to be clear.
