I think you two need to actually watch the movie and learn how the decisions were made. The only way to make money is to sell the single. By having stars in as many genre’s as possible, you increase the number of buyers who will buy the album. This isn’t rocket science.

Sadly, U2 are creatively finished as a group and their best years are way behind them. Their best albums were their 1980s catalogue. The Joshua Tree is a good album but not great. In 1987 which was a very competitive year for music with better released albums then the Johsua Tree such as Bruce Springsteen's Tunnel of Love, Def Leppard Hysteria, Michael Jackson's BAD, Prince Sign of The Times, John Mellencamp Lonesome Jubilee, INXS Kick, Midnight Oil Diesel & Dust, Fleetwood Mac Tango in the Night, George Michael's Faith, Guns & Roses Appetite for Destruction, Whitney Houston Whitney, Dirty Dancing soundtrack. Furthermore, U2 were not the biggest band or music act in the world in 1987. Pink Floyd and Michael Jackson world tours from 1987 to 1989 outgrossed U2's Joshua Tree tour. Also, the 3 biggest selling music album acts in the 1980s were Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and Phil Collins solo and together when he was singing with Genesis.

Almost the entire arena sings along. Every word. And it’s 3 people on stage with her. Finneas, and her drummer Andrew Marshall is always there.

The victimhood narrative is strong throughout the album. Totally nailed it. There’s no self awareness or sense of agency The manufactured feeling of what will teen girls relate to is unbearable. “I Hate It Here” really brought it to attention that she could get herself out of any situation. But her fans can’t and so she writes “herself” in their situation

I was looking for an opnion out of the "swiftie" bubble to help me have a critical analysis of the album, this video helped me a lot. I like Taylor's song a lot, so I acknowledge that it is harder for me to be imparcial when I am leaning towards linking the music that she puts out. I agree and disagree with things you said, within the things I agree on is that I expected it was going to be much more poetical than it is. Other thing is that, yes the genre of the album changes throughout the tracklist, but I felt like all of them were a straight line, I missed some more "ups and downs" (if that makes any sense...). I am not a native english speaker, so lyrics are a little bit more difficult for me to undertand, and I thought that I was just missing something because of some language difference, but some of the lyrics are just poor or doesn't make much sense. So, what I concluded so far is: I'll still listen to many of the songs, because I like how they sound. But I don't think this album deserves album of the year, for example. So, thank you for delivering a video that has a real analytical point of view in it, because when I was looking for some, I watched Ben Shapiro's and it was just gringe af, it had no subject at all (wich I think it is ironic). Hope I expressed my brasilian insights with an understandable english youtube comment. 😅

I tend to not engage in much discourse online about Taylor or many mainstream topics but I believe this might be worth engaging with. I consider myself a Taylor Swift fan. I was lucky enough to attend her concert in Mexico and had the time of my life. I have screamed and cried to her songs and analyzed the heck out of everything. However, I was thoroughly disappointed with this album and pretty much agree on much of what you share here. I fear many swifties connected with Taylor from the beginning because they, just like Taylor, have experienced some trauma and feel like they have found a safe space with other ppl where they can let down their guard and be vulnerable. Emotions don't listen to reason and for us to process trauma we need emotions. However, I do believe we have reached a point where those same people lack the perspective to understand the big machine that is also behind every move Taylor makes. More than an amazing artist she is also an incredible business woman. I personally struggle to connect to an album were a billionaire is talking about how alone she is and how awful it was that she went through a breakup while there is poverty and war happening in the real world. Like I said, I'm still a Taylor fan, particularly of her early work but I refuse to spend a cent in her store or encourage the brainwashing of swifties who will only be put in more risk of harm in the long run if they do not develop their own opinions or critical thinking skills. I worry about our inability to listen and respect others opinions as well as our ability to understand that more than one thing can be true at the same time. She can be sharing her real feelings while also manipulating the heck out of our wallets. She can be relatably insane and emotional while also remaining one of the most powerful people in this planet who is phisically safe and comfortable in a way many of us never will be. Anyways, I believe your video is important in bringing light to these topics and opossing a dangerous tidal wave. I'm always happy to hear people share their point of view when done respectably and patiently.
@Dan-iu8ls3 ай бұрын
I just want to add but your comment about war and poverty is stupid. Firstly I am a fan but I don’t usually comment. But Taylor’s music is all about relationships. She wrote all the music over 2 years from her experiences in what sounds like one of her worst breakups. She is not going to be writing about anything else because people like her for her relatable and personal music. Whether or not you want to listen to it, you should’ve expected the music will be about her life, as it always has been. She still has a job and fans that are always wanting more music. And the amount of money she makes has nothing to do with whether or not she still has emotions or negative experiences that she feels comfortable with sharing. So idk what you expected or wanted from her, but it feels like she is losing either way - if she doesn’t release music fans are annoyed and begging for more - if she does release music she’s not valid as she is a billionaire and shouldn’t have problems with loneliness and sadness about a break up.

@@Dan-iu8ls I'm sorry but being a billionaire you don't get to be exempt from the conversation about poverty or war. I'm not saying she's the only one at fault here or that she should be held responsible for it all but I am saying "personally" her words sound more hollow to me knowing that on a phisical level she has access to all the resources in the world while the rest of us don't and some of us don't even have access to food or healthcare. She can write about her experiences all she wants and that's for each person to decide whether they'd like to listen but that's different from the over consumption that she's promoting unesessarily. Thanks for sharing though, I definitely agree with parts of what you're saying. That's how I usually justify me being a huge fan.

Let's just take this in turn as a running diatribe equal to yours (you're right, mostly I insult you throughout. You deserve it. But you can skip to my last point if you actually want to understand what this album is about and why women connect with it so much): -Oh god, men who are so upset a woman made songs about men. I am absolutely sure your wives love you so much and feel very emotionally seen. And if you aren't married, I'm not surprised. Yes, if a woman wants to get married and a man love bombs her and teases her with putting a ring on that finger, absolutely you get excited. Or are you incels? -Midnights was a much worse album. All of her fans call it MID-nights. It didn't have any of her specificity or storytelling. There was no timeline to follow about what was happening. It was just music to listen to. -'Kim was 'defending' her possibly crazy husband'. He's an *antisemitic lunatic*. And no, in the extended phone call she says 'can you send me the song because I'd really like to go through it'. Which is a white-girl "no". -THE REST OF THE ALBUM IS LOOKING IN. Down Bad is her throwing a tantrum. Which she says in the song. She recognizes it's a tantrum. -No she's not just throwing 'fancy' words into songs. Her words are very purposeful and often coded so fans hear something different. Sanctimonious and soliloquies are in fact used correctly. Would you rather her say "My fans wrote me a petition to stop dating Matty Healy and I find that stupid"? You're so right. That sounds much better. I mean I'm glad the two guys in the basement know more about music than a billionaire singer with 11 successful albums. Those who can't do teach I suppose. -'This is all business?' Well, yes. That is how people succeed. I do hope you learn about business so you can retire one day. Hopefully tomorrow. But I'm guessing you're broke wannabe musicians who failed to launch anything in life. -We feel it's the best thing in the world because she is a diaristic artist. She writes about what women feel but says it much better than we can. All I'm able to do is tell you you're both two guys jabbering on about having small equipment. < See, I really wish I could say it in a more interesting way. She'd know how to rhyme small equipment with something. -This is not about playing in a concert. How do you not see that a four year long, 144 show tour is her last major stadium tour? -Ha! Dave Matthews and The Beach Boys. Of course you pick people with d*cks to praise. Oh and Bob Dylan. I see your criteria for 'good'. -No, we all have our skip songs. This one has four skips for me. Three ehs. Out of 31 songs. -No, you're fighting a war against success. Because you never cracked that code and you're salty. -The art is in the story. We know exactly who she's talking about. Yes, it's the same thing. -You don't understand what Guilty as Sin is about? It's about her thinking about another man while in a relationship with her current... much like your wives do in bed with you to get through it. -I don't disagree that But Daddy I love Him isn't great. That's one of my skips. -Don't worry, I watched the Ben Shapiro schtick. He's upset that she said a curse word or 50 and wears clothes that show her figure and writes about relationships. You guys have a lot in common. You'd like him. You guys seem a lot alike. -So Long, London is possibly the saddest thing I've ever heard. Fresh Out the Slammer kills. To be 34 and put years of your life into something. All of your best years to be married and have children? And then the man doesn't commit. Men do not have the same clock ticking. You can be Robert DiNiro churning 'em out at 80. We can't. Yes, to possibly be denied that chance to be a mom because someone won't get their sh*t together is enraging. To have someone else come along--someone you dated before and it just didn't quite work at the time--and tell you all the things that you want your partner of six years to say... to put a ring on that finger. To talk about children with you. And then seemingly ghost you or try to cheat (no one is sure precisely what he did but some interpret the 'you tried to buy pills' from friends of friends of mine as he tried to cheat with someone and she found out through the grape vine). That's absolutely the worst. She doesn't have much time left if she wants a family. Which she repeatedly states she does throughout TTPD.
@markhansen74863 ай бұрын
Sounds the same?! Literally describe that to me when the album shifts genres throughout? You start with synth pop, move to dark western influenced pop, and ends with ballad style folk. She has Melodie’s and stylizations on songs she hasn’t even used before. Where as midnights had no substance it! Like I actually can’t take people seriously who say this because you can actually demonstrate how that isn’t true.

They are only listening to the tempo. Most of the songs are mid-tempo or ballads. It doesn't matter that they all sound very different. Most people can't retain that information until they become familiar with the songs, and most of these reviews are made after one listen.
@thatskums2 ай бұрын
Even if it is sonically different, that doesn't make it sonically interesting. All the songs on TTPD remind me of different songs on other Taylor Swift albums but they sound worse. There is no variation in the way she sings anything. Her choruses sound just like her verses and that mixed with a boring sonic soundscape makes for really boring songs.

Would you rather her say "My fans wrote me a petition to stop dating Matty Healy and I find that stupid"? You're so right. That sounds much better. I mean I'm glad the two guys in the basement know more about music than a billionaire singer with 11 successful albums. Those who can't do teach I suppose. -'This is all business?' Well, yes. That is how people succeed. I do hope you learn about business so you can retire one day. Hopefully tomorrow. But I'm guessing you're broke wannabe musicians who failed to launch anything in life. -We feel it's the best thing in the world because she is a diaristic artist. She writes about what women feel but says it much better than we can. All I'm able to do is tell you you're both two guys jabbering on about having small equipment. < See, I really wish I could say it in a more interesting way. She'd know how to rhyme small equipment with something. -This is not about playing in a concert. How do you not see that a four year long, 144 show tour is her last major stadium tour? -Ha! Dave Matthews and The Beach Boys. Of course you pick people with d*cks to praise. Oh and Bob Dylan. I see your criteria for 'good'. -No, we all have our skip songs. This one has four skips for me. Three ehs. Out of 31 songs. -No, you're fighting a war against success. Because you never cracked that code and you're salty. -The art is in the story. We know exactly who she's talking about. Yes, it's the same thing. -You don't understand what Guilty as Sin is about? It's about her thinking about another man while in a relationship with her current... much like your wives do in bed with you to get through it. -I don't disagree that But Daddy I love Him isn't great. That's one of my skips. -Don't worry, I watched the Ben Shapiro schtick. He's upset that she said a curse word or 50 and wears clothes that show her figure and writes about relationships. You guys have a lot in common. You'd like him. You guys seem a lot alike. -So Long, London is possibly the saddest thing I've ever heard. Fresh Out the Slammer kills. To be 34 and put years of your life into something. All of your best years to be married and have children? And then the man doesn't commit. Men do not have the same clock ticking. You can be Robert DiNiro churning 'em out at 80. We can't. Yes, to possibly be denied that chance to be a mom because someone won't get their sh*t together is enraging. To have someone else come along--someone you dated before and it just didn't quite work at the time--and tell you all the things that you want your partner of six years to say... to put a ring on that finger. To talk about children with you. And then seemingly ghost you or try to cheat (no one is sure precisely what he did but some interpret the 'you tried to buy pills' from friends of friends of mine as he tried to cheat with someone and she found out through the grape vine). That's absolutely the worst. She doesn't have much time left if she wants a family. Which she repeatedly states she does throughout TTPD.
Sounds the same?! Literally describe that to me when the album shifts genres throughout? You start with synth pop, move to dark western influenced pop, and ends with ballad style folk. She has Melodie’s and stylizations on songs she hasn’t even used before. Where as midnights had no substance it! Like I actually can’t take people seriously who say this because you can actually demonstrate how that isn’t true.
They are only listening to the tempo. Most of the songs are mid-tempo or ballads. It doesn't matter that they all sound very different. Most people can't retain that information until they become familiar with the songs, and most of these reviews are made after one listen.
Even if it is sonically different, that doesn't make it sonically interesting. All the songs on TTPD remind me of different songs on other Taylor Swift albums but they sound worse. There is no variation in the way she sings anything. Her choruses sound just like her verses and that mixed with a boring sonic soundscape makes for really boring songs.
I’ll pass. Lots of other Beach Boys songs I like better.
27:09 If I'm not mistaken, Bob Dylan sang "The House of the Rising Sun" on his first debut album, but he sang in the perspective of a woman. Later, The Animals covered the song but now changed in the perspective of a man.
Yes

Impossible to get of you’re American.
People always asked will there ever be another band like The Beatles. And I say yes. The Smiths. Manchesters answer to The Beatles. The Smiths were my The Beatles.
Yes they are. No question
Just get on with the show, wtf.
It sounds like you've skim-read wikipedia and stuck a microphone on for an hour. Jeezuz...can you say: "Nickleback effect" one more time?
It is terrific but I can't forget Freddie Mercury and Queen at Live Aid.
I saw your U2 play in 1981 in a provincial city in the U.K small venue, and then saw them play and fill a stadium in 1993……. Some of your comments are right on the money, live the whole experience is entertaining and it’s that momentum which has boosted their popularity. I agree there is a lot of dross, and for the past 20 or so years it’s been dire. Having said that I still listen to them periodically, probably because they remind me of when I was younger man and life was good!
Bruce, and Bob and Cindy Tina, and the rest were brilliant. I can't believe the criticism . It showed WE. All of we at the moment. It was brilliant. Guys!!!
? This video is crap bro
They were paid $500 for the show, I heard Michael Strieve say. But after Woodstock everyone knew who they were.
I’m glad this wasn’t a huge seller. Knowing that but still loving it makes it a special close friend. Especially given the nature of the music and lyrics. Busy doin’ nothing sums it all up. Godspeed…
Bono positioned himself as a.n advocate for human rights . But now he's a supporter of Israel's actions in gaza .such stinking hypocrisy !! Of course he was on Epsteins island. So need I say more.
