    I can’t believe I’m saying this, but...
    did you see the live video on Disney? Something about a cabin or woods or something. It’s her and Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff finally playing those songs in person together. The Justin Vernon duet is so good.

    Folklore is the best album of the year IMO.

    The Disney special for folklore was amazing. I loved the album to begin with but the new versions are even better. I agree it may be her best work and after getting sidetracked a bit her last few albums hoping she kind of settles here going forward.

    Taylor Swift isn't my gig, but I'll give it a listen. 
    T. Swift isn’t in my wheelhouse either, but this new album is stunning. Not what i would have expected. 
    I guess she is in my wheelhouse lol.

    This is what I was referring too. I don't get the sidetracked comment. She made 4 heavy pop albums in a row. And I don't think Folklore is anything like her first 3. If anything, folklore is deviation.

    All her albums were always country/pop/rock based until reputation. That was also first electronic album vs the rest which are real instrument based, well 1984 start the turn in that direct but to me reputation is the big outlier.

    I think its darker (heavier themes more bass), but other than that, I don't see it as much of a dramatic departure from 1989 or Lover or as any of her albums have been departures from the one before it. Electronic element wise, that is.

    Well someone has been busy in 2020, TS and the same cast of characters including the national are dropping another album tomorrow. 15 new tracks. It’s got a lot to live up to.

    kinda makes me think the band has no excuse not to have a new album next year.
