So added up and divided by 31, I give the album as a whole 7.5/10. A very good album with some really nice beautiful slow pieces. Takes a bit of getting used to because it is so slow, which is a big contrast to Midnights, but after a few listens you realise that there's a lot of quality here. I'd put it just above Evermore in my ranking of Taylor Swift albums, that is somewhere around 4th or 5th best.

Robin - Beautiful. A little too slow, maybe? I can't help but think the first line is 'long may you rain urine' though. The 'way to go, tiger' line makes me think of her as MJ talking to Peter Parker but that's just me. 7/10
The Manuscript - The album boiled down into one track. Haunting and beautiful but also terribly sad. 8/10

Cassandra - Another Taylor with piano song. As I mentioned previously, I like pretty much all of these. Her voice just works with light piano accompaniment. The lyrics for this one are also really clever. 8/10
Peter - Another Taylor with piano song. Beautiful. Its between this and Chloe or Sam ... for the best piano ballad on the album for me. 9/10
The Bolter - Catchy chorus. I also love sweary Taylor. Not quite up to the pervious 5 tracks though. 6/10

I look in people's windows - A really nice acoustic song. I like the repeated words in the verse and the death by a thousand cuts style rundown at the start of the chorus. 7/10
The Prophecy - Another lovely acoustic song. I love the fingerpicked run that repeats through the verse. I also love the high note on please ... knees ... prophecy. The way the song develops and then returns to the chorus is also really nice. 9/10

Ich habe jetzt die 31 Songs vom neuen Taylor Swift Album durch und kann schon verstehen, dass so viele Menschen von ihr Fan sind, aber das Soundbild und der Gesang waren dann doch eher sehr langweilig. :(

So high school - another track thats so upbeat it seems like it doesn't really belong in what is otherwise a pretty slow, sad album. Very 90s indie in a good way. 9/10
I hate it here- Back to the sad, acoustic songs but this one i don't like as much. It's good, i just find it a bit overwritten. 6/10
ThanK you aIMee - I really like the story this song tells. Even outside who its about, i just think that anyone who has been bullied gets it. 8/10
#TaylorSwift #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment

The Albatross - Another song which reminds me a bit of evermore. I like the finger-picked guitar (?) in the background. 7/10
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus- Another Taylor on piano beautiful ballad. Very pretty. I love the line 'you needed me, but you needed drugs more' 9/10
How did it end?- The last of a series of slow, beautiful tracks. Quite lovely, though maybe not quite as good as the track just before it. 8/10
#TaylorSwift #TheTorturedPoetsDepartment

Clara Bow - I like the foregrounded bass sound. Reminds me of evermore, which is no bad thing. 7/10
The Black Dog - A song with a great build that runs almost to the end. Catchy but not in a singalong way. 7/10
imgonnagetyouback - another taylor by numbers track. (not necessarily bad by the way. Average Taylor is still good everyone else) good production rescues an otherwise fairly ordinary song. 6/10
