So it seems to me that things like tortured poets department and midnight have been more mellow than her previous albums such as 1989 and reputation. Personally, I don’t like them as well. They are still good. There’s no question about that, but I prefer the more upbeat style she used in reputation, especially.
Edit: Pretty sure my favorite song from Tortured Poets Department is probably “Down Bad”.
Same actually, I downloaded the anthology specifically because it had more tracks than the other one did. I paid a little bit more money for it, but I figured if I’m going to buy the album anyway, I might as well get everything I possibly can. Although my guess is that I’m missing exclusives that were on each version of the album or whatever, because she does that, which is kind of irritating.
