Well this week is officially the 1,250th post on this blog that goes back to time of early social media that made making connections easier, finding out about websites with fairly specific focusing when it came to what they were about
Today such sites seem endangered - will there be an endangered sites listing like we have with buildings? - but music was a focus of one and music is an interest of mine going right back to childhood.
This week (technically Friday) saw the release of the 12th Taylor Swift album from here 2006 debut that almost dates this blog really where country music is a given although she's embraced synth pop, hip hop beats, folk and more indie territory with here last release Tortured Poets Society.
It's a bit early to give definitive thoughts as it usually takes several plays before things really settle with me but overall I'd give it a solid 4/5, a little less deep lyrically than the last but having more infectious pop sensibilities and melody, nearer 1989 than subsequent albums.
The main inspiration seems to be a reflection on her life, specifically her career in music that shows in both titles and subject matter.
The opener, The Fate of Ophelia is a personal favourite.
