Evermore (Limited Edition) (incl. Calendar + Postcard) (incl. Bonus Material)

Simple: Not a strong as Folklore (which is extraordinarily strong) from beginning to end, but a great companion.

Detail: Folklore is an iconic album. It is a 5 star masterpiece much like Revolver, Kid A, London Calling, Thriller, Joshua Tree, Pet Sounds, and Born to Run etc. Those albums all capture the nature of the time they were written. Folklore captures a contemplative, lonely, introspective mood of the covid19 era. Because of the very nature of Evermore's release time, it can only be secondary to Folklore in that Folklore already existed. Evermore is a songwriter album much like Folklore. It gets 5 stars from me but I wouldn't call it a 5 star classic masterpiece. Evermore has phenomenal stand out tracks (champagne problems, gold rush, tis the damn season, happiness, Coney Island, Marjorie) like Folklore but comes with a few stand alone songs that seem out of place (no body, no crime, long story short).

I wouldn't say Taylor Swift is even in my top 20 favorite artists list. As I age, I am starting to feel what is my personal preference might be separate from who I respect. Taylor Swift's songwriting has always been strong but I think her last 3 album efforts are starting to bring her into my mind when I think of other aged greats like Bruce, Bob, Joni, and Elton/Bernie. Those greats are all at or near the finish line of their career. Taylor Swift isn't even up the hill yet.

Take a listen to "tolerate it" then listen to Joni's "Case of You". Is it really so different? I worry many 21st centuryers don't appreciate what is there while it is here.

This Evermore Collection by Taylor Swift is perfect to listen to if you have also previously enjoyed her folklore music collection. However Evermore is also a good music collection to listen to even if you are new to listening to Taylor Swift’s music because of the elements of indie dance, indie rock, chillout music, and folk rock mixed in. I am fortunate to have had the chance to purchase each of her music collections since Speak Now still I have yet to determine which of the songs I enjoy the most on her collection. However for music listeners who are new to Taylor Swift’s music and still on the fence about purchasing Evermore I would recommend listening to the following songs from her Folklore album to help determine if you might enjoy Evermore because these songs have some of the similar energies that bridge evermore in a creative way: cardigan, exile (feat. Bon Iver), tears ricochet, august.

I will admit that I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift. Just seems that all her albums seem to match up with my life. (well, from Red and on anyway). Folklore and Evermore are amazing. I feel like she got a hold of my diary from the past 5 years and wrote these songs. It took Evermore a little bit to grow on me but it certainly did. Especially Champagne Problems, Ivy and Evermore. I loved No Body, No Crime but that didn't come from my diary. It's TIme To Go hit me hard too. I can't listen to Marjorie though...Reminds me of losing my dad and I bawl my pretty little eyes out every single time. I would highly suggest this album along with Folklore.

There are a lot of really beautiful and poignant songs on this album. I like it more than Folklore, as a whole. I'm digging this more introspective songwriting from Taylor lately. She really does have substance. I hope she builds on this and doesn't revert to the poppy, superficial music she made in the past. Some of it is fun, but I like this more grown-up, subdued Taylor.

evermore just builds upon what folklore had created; it's full of the folk vibe of the previous album but now that she knew her audience loved the new sound, she was able to play in the whole sandbox this time. Her lyricism is as strong, if not stronger than ever. Each track is outstanding, building upon each other to craft these individual tales of con artists, college sweethearts, and missing friends into a large cohesive storybook.

I love it. plays Taylor very well.

Love this CD and the price point was very fair for an imported CD. Thank you!

I don't know if Evermore and Folklore would have hit this hard in a different year without a pandemic. But when you're forced to spend a huge amount of time by yourself, these albums are exactly what you want to fall into. Comforting, cathartic, sad, quiet, introspective. Evermore is definitely a continuation of Folklore and not by any means the "b-sides." It doesn’t have as many standout tracks though. “Tolerate It” is my current favorite, but I also absolutely LOVE that she finally did a collab with the Haim sisters.

If you loved Folklore, you'll love Evermore too.

These bonus songs are literally my favourite version of the song + if you think the CD is fake, It is a real version of the evermore Cd

テイラースウィフトは聴くべきアーティスト。

As a Taylor Swift collector I like the Japanese deluxe/ special editions CDs. Some have 7" packaging, some have extras like guitar picks, some have DVD of music videos etc. Evermore came with additional tracks from the Vault, a calendar and photo prints. Excellent.
