But her choruses tend to rest on a songwriter’s laziest fall-back: the repetitive, arena-mongering chant. Like the music, Swift hasn’t looked ahead in her lyrics either. [...] The teenage dreaminess of it all reeks of protecting market share. It suggests Swift didn’t dare try to grow, lest she leave her core fans - very young girls - behind. That strategy will thrill her record company and her financial advisor. But it leaves her looking stunted and scared. She ends up as a just a teen-pop machine - and as someone who has yet to figure out how to act her age.
Do you know what "delusions of grandeur" means, henny?
Anyway, Metascores are an incredibly faulty method of ascertaining even what the critical community thinks of an album, let alone determining what albums are actually good.
We'll have to agree to disagree.
Btw, did you like anything from PRISM?
Songs smash with little to no promo and with ****** or nonexistent videos all the time. Birthday is clearly Katy her second magnum opus but even a video on par with Thriller and all the promo in the world would not have saved it. The GP was just not here for it. It was too feminist and sex-positive for 2014 audiences to really understand its true beauty.
