I enjoyed this album quite a bit. I suppose I have never been much of a technical music person so I can leave any objective merit to people more informed than myself, but personally I like the happy vibe most songs give off and glad she is in a good place after years of being a tortured poet.

Father figure is almost as good as blank space for me tbh

I do think this is likely to be overhated and there are probably some reasons for that. The first is she is very popular and a lot of people are going to hate her because they think she's overloved and they're going to loudly whine about it to balance things out. It also doesn't help that republicans and misogynists have sort of been salivating for her popularity to fall off since 2016. So I think some of the complaints you see online have less to do with "technical music people" and more to do with loud people that were never going to like her music no matter what it was.

BUT...that being said...I also do think this is probably her weakest album since like the super early days so I think there are complaints that are more objectively (subjectively?) valid.

BUT I also don't want to be someone telling people not to have fun so if you like the album I think that's cool. I will say the response from my IRL friends has been much more positive that the places I hang out online so I could be in the minority on this any way. I'll try giving it another listen in a week or so.
