I didn’t mind this at all. Thematically it was very nice. I really liked Castle In Hollywood, even just conceptually it was a very interesting song. I don’t think it’s her best, I think for mostly intangible reasons. I didn’t feel as gripped and I wasn’t quite as affected by the lyrics.

It's unfair to make a review in comparison, but as it stands I feel this entry is weaker than its predecessor. This is a strong album throughout, but a few tracks (such as Snow White) struck me as being quite strangely lyrically. Its jazzy instrumentals remain very fun, Lover Girl being a particular highlight, but I do miss the bossanova sound of Bewitched. Making a career of writing love songs is undoubtedly a tall order - it seemingly ruined Taylor Swift's life - but the ones that stood out to me were those clearly drawn from personal experience. Maybe it's time to move onto new pastures Laufey?
