Taylor releases surprise double album "The Anthology"

What does everyone think of it? My favourite tracks (going down the list) are:
Track list, opinion
- TTPD
- Guilty as Sin?
- The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
- Clara Bow
- Cassandra
- The Bolter
Disclaimer: I am Deaf and can't understand the lyrics without reading/memorising them. I also lack the ability to hear most of the high-end without cranking my hearing aids up to a painful level.
Musically, its a bit mid compared to the other albums, especially Midnights (my favourite), likely due to the hearing issue. I do think it will grow on me over time the way that 1989 did. I added The Bolter while typing this, for example xD
Lyrically, I love all of the ones I've cared enough to look up. 💖
Remember, this is an opinion! 🙈
From Rolling Stone:
With the addition of the bonus songs, The Tortured Poets Department now clocks in at 31 tracks (that’s 13 backwards)
well, of course.
Looking forward to getting a chance to listen to this.
Funny thing about being in Europe, is that the album was released at 6 am. So when I woke up I could listen to the first album for a few minutes before she released the double album, and I spent most of the day listening to it, so by the time the US woke up to listen to it, I had already gone through most of it. I love this album. I haven't found a song I dislike yet. My advice is to listen to it as it is, not in shuffle mode. Some songs altogether make the mood of the album greater.
My wife stayed up to listen to the first release, then came to bed before the second set released. It's bow 5am and I'm debating whether or not to wake her up...

I'm really liking the anthology part of the album. The first part I'm mostly not in love with, but it will probably grow on me!
