REVIEW: Taylor Swift "Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology" // New Music (VIDEO)


Hello, friends, and welcome back to the channel. In this week's video, I am doing something I have never done at The Dark Stuff...I'm reviewing a Taylor Swift album!

I pride myself on being open minded about music, and my "taste" is not so easily defined. Sure, you could generally say I lean toward "indie" music, but I grew up on hair metal! Taylor Swift is probably the most successful musical artist of the 21st century. She's something of a cultural phenomenon. That is how I have always viewed her -- as part of pop culture. But I've never really given an extended, serious listen to any of her albums. Until now...

No spoilers, of course, other than to say that the album was not what I was expecting. If, for some reason, I accidentally call the album 'Tortured Poets Society' it's because of the movie, 'Dead Poets Society.' In my brain, I keep merging the two titles.
