  2. 8.0 |   The Line Of Best Fit

    What will captivate the carefree aficionado is their attempt to make dance music (via the unsung hero of the cowbell) and cause fans to throw distinct shapes like a rhombus in the d.i.s.c.o

Taylor Swift  The Tortured Poets Department

Thorny on arrival but ultimately insightful, TTPD is a mature, messy, and grippingly honest look into Swift’s tortured psyche Northern Transmissions
