Taylor Swift - Folklore
After just one listen through, I'm tempted to indulge in over-the-top praise. The strength and depth of the songwriting is amazing, the singing superb, and I couldn't pick out a single weak, or even mediocre, track. Be warned, this isn't Pop Girl Taylor (no dance tracks or club songs), but it's not a return to Country Taylor either. This is Matured Taylor, her matchless talents as a songwriter reaching even greater heights. Almost all the songs are about love-gone-wrong or might-have-been (after a few tracks, I began to think the album was made to break your heart. I was right.) I think I'll just give in and call it a Masterpiece.
