With this score, "folklore" is just enough to become a "A+ student" on the Pitchfork scale, congratulations to Taylor Swift!
It's been 3 days since Taylor Swift's "folklore" came out, this "beat up" album has received rave reviews from critics with impressive scores. The average score that Metacritic users gave to the "folklore" scored 95/100 from the scores of 8 experts and at one time reached 100/100. The prestigious Rolling Stone magazine rated Taylor Swift's latest album at 4.5 / 5 stars and praised: "This is the best album of Taylor Swift ever", "the debut album of a Taylor Swift completely new "," seventeen songs can't come across any song ".
The Daily Telegraph, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald all gave absolute "folklore" scores while The Independent, NME and The Times also gave 4/5 generous stars. However, the audience is still wondering whether the most demanding critic in the music industry - Pitchfork - will score "folklore". And today, we all have the answer: a well-rounded 8.0, a score that is well above Pitchfork's standards to date.
At the beginning of the review, author Jillian Mapes - a senior editor of Pitchfork - said that "folklore" is a record that evokes the atmosphere that makes people wear sweaters, an album filled with love affair, cinematic and imaginative details. The review also emphasized that this is Taylor Swift's most "indie" album, with a cinematic feel and evoking the atmosphere of a soundtrack album.
The review also emphasized that the "most adorable" song throughout the entire "folklore" album was the "invisible string" and praised the poetic-rich lyrics, reminiscent of classic literary works. The article also emphasizes that this album is the ability to "tell stories" through music of Taylor Swift is promoted most strongly. Lastly, Mapes did not forget to emphasize that this is a very suitable album for the summer of 2020 - summer is not like any previous summers due to the Covid-19 situation.
With a score of 8.0 "awarded" by Pitchfork, "folklore" still ranks behind Taylor Swift's three albums "Red", "Fearless" and "Speak Now" but still higher than "Taylor Swift", "Reputation", " 1989 "and" Lover ". This score is quite similar to the general trend of music critics when it comes to judging this album. This score is higher than some albums released this year such as "Chromatica" by Lady Gaga (7.3), "Future Nostalgia" by Dua Lipa (8.0), "After Hours" by The Weeknd (7.9).
Pitchfork scores scored for 8 albums of Taylor Swift:
- Taylor Swift - 6.7
- Fearless - 8.2
- Speak Now - 8.1
- Red - 9.0
- 1989 - 7.7
- Reputation - 6.5
- Lover - 7.1
- folklore - 8.0
However, when this score appeared, it created two different opinion streams. A part said that this score is quite high compared to the standard of Pitchfork but Taylor Swift still deserves a higher score. Another department said that the score of 8.0 was high enough and completely accurate for "folklore".
Pitchfork has long been regarded by the world-class as one of the world's most rigorous, impartial and trusted music critics. One of the most sought-after articles from all over the world is the album comments and the scores are dropped straight, without mercy, whether emerging, rising, A ++ or even Kpop stars, all under a fair perspective, pure in music and almost unaffected by private life or reputation.
