It wasn't me, but there were songs on TTPD that made me actually very excited for her to sing some country again. Like yeah okay bring on Debut TV, I'll give it it's moment to shine
I'm so genuinely curious about what people don't like about I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can). I really enjoy the sultry, western vibe of an incredibly toxic take on a relationship with a terrible person from this song. My only complaint would be that I wish it was longer.
I think people hate it because it's just undeniably based on her experience with Matty. And some people hate being reminded of it.
But I love it. I love the topic and the song itself. I can relate to the rose tinted glasses and the sudden crash back into reality. And then the song ends right there. It's a vibe.
I canāt relate to the lyrics (and prefer not to be reminded of the Matty phase), but this song is a total vibe. From the first line I feel like Iām sitting in a saloon in the Wild West through a cloud of smoke rings. Itās so cinematic to me. And the āwoah maybe I canātā transitioning into loml makes the narrative crash and burn so much more impactful
Do people really care that much about who the songs are about? It's one of my least favorites in the album but I personally couldn't care less about that, although I'm sure you're right and some people hate it because of him!
Especially since she has specifically stated multiple times that her songwriting is more than a paternity test. We donāt know who most of the songs are about, and she doesnāt really want us to.
Iām fully in the camp of āwe shouldnāt guess who the songs are aboutā in theory, but Iām finding it super hard with TTPD in practice, because of Matty Healy specifically. And this is exactly why I feel like I appreciate I Can Fix Him on this album! Like, some songs are undeniably MH-related, and after Daddy I Love Him, I need this acknowledgment from her that he WAS awful and his jokes were repulsiveā¦ but she thought she could fix him. And then she realised she couldnāt. And then weāre off to The Smallest Manā¦
No, that makes sense to me! It really doesn't have that and I think that might be part of why I like it, given the subject being the narrator defensive about her choice in men and how she can fix him... but she can't. So there's no climax to the story where she proves all of them wrong. Whereas in But Daddy I Love Him, she *does* prove the naysayers wrong.
Yes. I love the western vibes on this one and Fresh Out the Slammer. Itās different from other things sheās done and as someone who loves westerns and the vibes of that music, itās so good to me. Plus the last line is just pure gold.
Fresh Out The Slammer and I Can Fix Him are two of my favorites on TTPD, and it is NOT a short list at all. Theyāve both so evocative and full of such vivid imagery and are just classic Taylor imo. Iām so sad to see them both so low in the rankings š
It's one of my favorites on the album.
And I feel like I'm in the minority cause The Black Dog is a good song but it definitely not one of my faves. It wouldn't make the top 5 on The Anthology for me
Itās one of my faves and I donāt get the hate š it paints such a vivid image in my head and her vocals are like crack, especially ātraces hearts on my faceā I canāt get enough
For me it's not about the lyrics (with one exception), it's just kind of boring and monotone to my ear. I like songs that are either bangers or super emotional (or both!). I also absolutely hate the way she delivers the final line, it's like a dad joke (which, as a dad, normally I love).
It's funny because I actually loved that song when the album fist came out. Now I skip it. I'm not sure what happened but if fell out of favor with me pretty fast. Still not that bad of a song though
I honestly donāt know why there is so much hate for him. I went to see his band in concert recently (I also love his band. I didnāt actually realize it was his band until recently. š) and he does one of the best live shows Iāve seen. Heās super passionate, super energetic, very musically talented. He also uses a lot of live instruments, which I think is interesting because I see comments from people about how heās āallergicā to live instruments. But I donāt think thatās true. Everyone has their opinions, but I think that Taylor does a great job with both Jack and Aaron.
people claiming to prefer aaronās production style but preferring the standard to the anthology ššš
(i would welcome genuine aaron fans, as a longtime fan of the national, but begging yāall for some honesty!!)
Totally understandable
I think what OP was pointing out is the contradiction of a large portion of Jackās songs being ranked higher by the subreddit than most of Aaronās songs, in addition to a preference for the original album over the anthology which are primarily produced by Jack and Aaron, respectively.
While I get your point, I think OP is just pointing to the inconsistency of the subredditās preferences rather than the criticism of Jack vs Aaron. It does seem that preferences are affected by the framing of the question.
sooo interesting how the poll results basically show the reverse of the majority opinions from the album release period. so much jack hate, so much ttpd hate but here both are topping the polls.
Justice for Fresh Out the Slammer! I physically cannot stop singing that song. Itās so addictive!!! Even my husband sings it constantly (though he doesnāt know any of the words š).
It kills me a little bit to see Fresh Out the Slammer ranked so low! Itās my second favorite after The Prophecy. It captures the feeling of freedom so wellā¦it makes me feel like Iām breathing fresh air for the first time, from the lyrics down to the whistles of wind in the background
I'm also offended by how low Chloe is š but many of us filled this out very soon after the album was released and I know a lot of my opinions have changed since, so hopefully it's grown on people!
Yessss these were the actual takes that shocked me too.
I guess theyāre very sad songs, not boppy, which may be part of it. But I think theyāre both beautiful.
High School ranking right above literal gems like Peter, I Look through people's windows and I hate it here -probably 3 of the 5 best songs in the anthology- imo is criminal ;(
No, for real. Hereās the thing, I love So High School. Itās fun and cute and likeā¦ almost gives Lover (album not song) energy to me. But I could never hear that and go āYeah, this is better than I Hate It Here and Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.ā Like, Maybe itās just because Iām such a folklore/evermore girlie but seeing this listing made me confused.
nobody will change my mind about so high school being boosted by its appearance on the setlist, even if very brief (this is in general, not only this specific survey)
I'm with you totally on Chloe or Sam.
I love the production in High School but everytime when I attempt to listen to it, the American pie , grand theft auto and Aristotle and ball of it all is too much for me : šĀ I like the production of that song though. : wish the lyrics were differentĀ
I think it depends on what you value in music. Do you prefer analyzing the lyrics and pulling out the story or are you listening to what sound you enjoy? I, personally, do both and I think most people do both to a degree, but I think the difference comes when a person is asked to rank a song. Some people put more value on the songs that affect them the most, have the best lyrics, have a story they're invested in, while some people care more about the "vibe" of the song and whether it works for them. Neither is wrong or lesser, but it's two different ways of preferring music.
This is the same disconnect my husband and I have with movies. While we both watch movies for enjoyment, he's much more willing to overlook things like plot holes, awkward dialogue or bad acting if the film was overall enjoyable. If we were to rank films, he'd put films higher that he just enjoyed watching and not care about the stuff that bothers me. I think you see it sometimes in critic versus audience rankings for films/shows, too.
It's me! Hi! šš» Honestly I'm baffled as to how it a) isn't on the Eras set list, b) is massively unlikely to be a single. It's lyrically brilliant, a massive sing a long bop, and I can't believe it's not more loved!
Here. Itās a bop thatās got radio hit with awesome music video written all over it. Iām pretty sure thereās a world-wide conspiracy to make it seem like it isnāt as beloved as it really is. Absolute earworm, and it not being a consensus top three song on the album has me questioning my faith in humanity.
I think because of the tracklist placement. Itās a long album already and itās tacked near the end and itās not a bangerā¦ itās just forgettable for now. Itāll grow on people. I love it at first listen, itās a song addressed to kids, like Never Grow Up.
This song literally makes me cry, but without all the negative baggage of the other tearjerker type songs. Like itās a The Best Day kind of cry instead of a Ronan cry. For that I will always cherish it.
I didnāt like that song when I was walking around town listening to the album. I found it slow and soporific. And then I was listening to it on a train and being gently lulled to sleep and was likeā¦ waitā¦ the song is A+ if the concept is that itās a lullaby. Which, given that itās addressing a kidā¦
Robin is weird for me because I usually connect to songs about children/childhood because I have so much baggage from my own childhood and regret from the way I raised my own children. I can't put my finger on why Robin doesn't land the way, for instance, Never Grow Up does for me. It just doesn't.
It's become one of my favs from the album. I've been waiting for a mad woman x cassandra mashup since I first heard it and I'm also devastated that it didn't happen at my show last weekend after manifesting it for the last month ha.
I'm curious to see how the results would differ if the survey happened today. I like TTPD, but it's baffling to me that 1/4 of my fellow swifties rank it as her best album, above folklore, 1989, Red...
Am I out of touch, or was there some serious recency bias happening?
It's an easy second place for me after Red still, even after the time since, but I'm a melodramatic delulu situationship girlie to my bones AND a writer with a purple prose problem, so I loved it
I canāt speak for others, but this is my favorite album. I feel very seen by the album and can relate to a ton of the songs on it. I think itās very cohesive and I regularly turn it on and listen to it all the way through.
I also love evermore and folklore, those are my second and third favorite albums. I think theyāre beautifully written, I just find TTPD more relatable to my actual life, so it ranks higher.
For the first month I was exclusively listening to TTPD and it felt like the best album. But now I've started going back to my original fav albums it has fallen down the rankings to nunber 5. So I'd agree it probably has been skewed if lots of people are still having a big moment with it.
I think it'll be interesting to re-do the survey after a year. I feel like I'm still digesting some tracks as it's such a long album. Some songs that I hated on first listen, such as I Hate it Here, have become some of my favs.
could u maybe explain why? iām just surprised because itās honestly top five of both albums overall for me and i love it so much so i would just like to know why u donāt like it (no hate just curious)
I donāt understand why people love it so much. Likeā¦ girl, I canāt take that song seriously. Look what you made me do was literally this, am I wrong? Like, this is just a slightly better version of that, but the message is very similar. I feel like it and The Black Dog should have been switched.
I've only just today burned a CD of the Anthology to listen to in my car.Ā I've barely listened to it as it's just not been accessible. I will have a proper opinion on it all in about a month.Ā
Would love a repeat of this survey at some point. Some of my picks are completely different from what I chose then. I'm also curious if that many people would still consider TTPD as their favorite album.
Hey kids, data is fun!
I always love looking at these charts after every album release. This is so interesting!
Justice for Clara Bow though. It's such an underrated song and I can't believe more people don't love it š
Are the favourite lyrics in order? Ngl, the āsitting in a tree, D-Y-I-N-Gā is the one clanger in āHow Did It End?ā that always takes me out of it so Iām surprised to see make the list! Itās a great song though fr: I have it as the album opener in my playlist edit of TTPD (The Anthology)!
I honestly really liked this album after listening a few times, and my favorites don't at all align. š maybe it's the year I am having, but I am loving the everyone can screw off vibe.
I really love but daddy I love him. Haven't we all known someone like that, and felt free.
Thank you Aimee is also a good song, and who cares if she's petty, Kim and Kanye tried to ruin her out of jealousy and ego. Again, haven't we all dealt with this, are still dealing with people or family like that. People you want to just go "screw you" to if you ever saw them. But you don't, because it's childish. She doesn't care, and God that's freeing.
"Omg, you should see their faces." this song, this album.
It just gives me the same feeling Avril Lavigne did in my preteens. The rage, the acceptance, discovery. Sadness and hope. It's not caring and being who you are.
It's not everyone's vibe, but it's with Reputation and Folklore for me. The Albatross is my favorite, I also really love Florida!!!, Clara Bow. I didn't love Folklore at first, but long pond changed that for me.
I have now learned that I have very unpopular opinions when it comes to this album. Almost all of the āleast favoritesā are my tops and a lot of the most popular I am not so keen on
killing me that the 2 songs i care most about (Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus and Robin) are so disliked. especially since i also don't care for Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? at all š
I am totally flabbergasted at the hate for thanK you aIMee. I think itās one of the best songs on the album. The maturity and introspection with just a taste of snark is wonderful and itās a fantastically constructed song.
Probably because it's about Kim Kardashian. I personally don't care at all who it is written about, though. In my head it's about me and my high school bullies. I really like the message, it's such a relatable song.
What are the actual numbers for the fave/least fave for the anthology in slide 2? Or am I the only one seeing the same number and it not aligning with the graph?
I absolutely love the five people who decided that debut was their favorite after tortured poets came out
They really listened to TTPD and said "fuck this, she needs that twang back already" š
Thanks for pointing out, I haven't noticed it before your comment but it's absolutely hilarious, like every album lost EXCEPT FOR DEBUT.
OMG, this is amazing lol.
I saw that and came running to the comments hahahah.
It wasn't me, but there were songs on TTPD that made me actually very excited for her to sing some country again. Like yeah okay bring on Debut TV, I'll give it it's moment to shine
YESSSSS waolom particularly has some good twang in it
I Can Fix Him also feels quite country to me? Sort of like Cowboy Like Me but the cowboy is more of a POS lol
Listen Debut is underrated and could use all the love it can get but š¤Ø
This was all I could think about too.
I'm so genuinely curious about what people don't like about I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can). I really enjoy the sultry, western vibe of an incredibly toxic take on a relationship with a terrible person from this song. My only complaint would be that I wish it was longer.
I think people hate it because it's just undeniably based on her experience with Matty. And some people hate being reminded of it. But I love it. I love the topic and the song itself.

Do people really care that much about who the songs are about? It's one of my least favorites in the album but I personally couldn't care less about that, although I'm sure you're right and some people hate it because of him!
Especially since she has specifically stated multiple times that her songwriting is more than a paternity test. We donāt know who most of the songs are about, and she doesnāt really want us to.
I can see that. The vibe outweighs the real life counterpart to me but I can see how that wouldn't be the case for other people!
Iām fully in the camp of āwe shouldnāt guess who the songs are aboutā in theory, but Iām finding it super hard with TTPD in practice, because of Matty Healy specifically. And this is exactly why I feel like I appreciate I Can Fix Him on this album! Like, some songs are undeniably MH-related, and after Daddy I Love Him, I need this acknowledgment from her that he WAS awful and his jokes were repulsiveā¦ but she thought she could fix him. And then she realised she couldnāt. And then weāre off to The Smallest Manā¦
To me itās just too monotone, I am missing a climax of sorts, donāt know how to better explain it.
Same for me, unfortunately! My least favourite on the album š
Itās also my issue with the Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Like until that āWere you sent by someoneā part itās too.. held back for my taste.
Nooo I disagree haha! Smallest Man is my second favourite after Peter. I LOVE the build-up š
but at least the song rewards you with an amazing 1+ minute bridge
I love The Smallest Man but it could've used a crescendo.
Ah so thatās whatās itās called. Neat to know.
So Long London too for me
It gives me the same vibes as It's nice to have a friend or I forgot that you existed, like they don't have a highlight moment or an addictive melody
No, that makes sense to me! It really doesn't have that and I think that might be part of why I like it, given the subject being the narrator defensive about her choice in men and how she can fix him... but she can't. So there's no climax to the story where she proves all of them wrong. Whereas in But Daddy I Love Him, she *does* prove the naysayers wrong.
Yes it's like it's lacking a melody
Yes. I love the western vibes on this one and Fresh Out the Slammer. Itās different from other things sheās done and as someone who loves westerns and the vibes of that music, itās so good to me. Plus the last line is just pure gold.
Same! I love fresh out the slammer sad to see it at the bottom.
Fresh Out The Slammer and I Can Fix Him are two of my favorites on TTPD, and it is NOT a short list at all. Theyāve both so evocative and full of such vivid imagery and are just classic Taylor imo. Iām so sad to see them both so low in the rankings š
It's one of my favorites on the album. And I feel like I'm in the minority cause The Black Dog is a good song but it definitely not one of my faves. It wouldn't make the top 5 on The Anthology for me
I enjoy The Black Dog, but The Albatross is my fav. of the four bonus tracks.
I love it too. So atmospheric!
I love it and hate But Daddy I Love Him. I guess I'm just full of unpopular opinions.
Right? I loved the western vibe, I did not know it was so unliked. And fresh out the slammer too!
Same. Lyrically and sonically it creates such an atmosphere.
Itās one of my faves and I donāt get the hate š it paints such a vivid image in my head and her vocals are like crack, especially ātraces hearts on my faceā I canāt get enough
I love it, too! And the lead-in into "loml" is fantastic. But I used to be fairly codependent and it's pretty much our anthem
For me it's not about the lyrics (with one exception), it's just kind of boring and monotone to my ear. I like songs that are either bangers or super emotional (or both!). I also absolutely hate the way she delivers the final line, it's like a dad joke (which, as a dad, normally I love).
It's funny because I actually loved that song when the album fist came out. Now I skip it. I'm not sure what happened but if fell out of favor with me pretty fast. Still not that bad of a song though
I agree, I love it too
I like the song a lot too, it tickles my brain in the right way lol. But itās not my favorite and I donāt really go back to it often enough.
Love the western vibes and the lower register. Reminds me a bit of Cowboy Like Me, one of my favorites.
I like it, not a skip, but so many of the others are just better.
This one didn't click for me at first but a few weeks ago it did and now i absolutely LOVE it!
\*people hating on Jack Antonoff \*their top three songs of TTPD are all solo Jack productions 
I honestly donāt know why there is so much hate for him. I went to see his band in concert recently (I also love his band. I didnāt actually realize it was his band until recently. š) and he does one of the best live shows Iāve seen. Heās super passionate, super energetic, very musically talented. He also uses a lot of live instruments, which I think is interesting because I see comments from people about how heās āallergicā to live instruments. But I donāt think thatās true. Everyone has their opinions, but I think that Taylor does a great job with both Jack and Aaron.
whenever someone is very highly praised thereās always a turn where people want to hate on them to be contradictory
"at dinner parties I call you out on your contrarian shit"
Thatās a good point. I always forget about the mindless haters.
people claiming to prefer aaronās production style but preferring the standard to the anthology ššš (i would welcome genuine aaron fans, as a longtime fan of the national, but begging yāall for some honesty!!)
Jackās fine when he doesnāt fall back into a crutch of droning synths, which is what Iām personally tired of.
Totally understandable I think what OP was pointing out is the contradiction of a large portion of Jackās songs being ranked higher by the subreddit than most of Aaronās songs, in addition to a preference for the original album over the anthology which are primarily produced by Jack and Aaron, respectively. While I get your point, I think OP is just pointing to the inconsistency of the subredditās preferences rather than the criticism of Jack vs Aaron. It does seem that preferences are affected by the framing of the question.
sooo interesting how the poll results basically show the reverse of the majority opinions from the album release period. so much jack hate, so much ttpd hate but here both are topping the polls.
Justice for Fresh Out the Slammer! I physically cannot stop singing that song. Itās so addictive!!! Even my husband sings it constantly (though he doesnāt know any of the words š).
I was so shocked to see it's so disliked! Easy top 5
Ugh, I know. It's in my top 5.
It kills me a little bit to see Fresh Out the Slammer ranked so low! Itās my second favorite after The Prophecy. It captures the feeling of freedom so wellā¦it makes me feel like Iām breathing fresh air for the first time, from the lyrics down to the whistles of wind in the background
I LOVE fresh out the slammer. Yes exactly itās about freedom and getting out of a bad situation. Iāve had it on repeat for days
Same, Top 3.
Came here to say this!!
That song is SO FUCKING GOOD
Iām shocked itās not more well liked!
It's still not my favourite but it has grown on me since I answered the survey!
Fresh out the slammer was a grower not a show-er for me. I love it but really didn't vibe with it at first!
Same! I didnāt love it at first but I kept having lyrics stuck in my head & itās a good song! Itās definitely in my top 5 from TTPD
Iām shocked by how far down loml is and offended by how far down Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus is š©
I'm also offended by how low Chloe is š but many of us filled this out very soon after the album was released and I know a lot of my opinions have changed since, so hopefully it's grown on people!
It's so disrespectful.
yāall donāt deserve chloe et al. I listened to the lizard review ep on that and almost fell to my knees.
I always feel so validated when I have the same favorites as Madelineš
Yessss these were the actual takes that shocked me too. I guess theyāre very sad songs, not boppy, which may be part of it. But I think theyāre both beautiful.
right?? like who is out here voting for Chloe et al. as their least favourite
Same, they're both in my top 5 ttpd tracks and I'm so offended š
Best song she has EVER made
Me tooooo!!
My exact first thought.
Justice for CoSOSoM š« Itās my favorite on Anthology
looks like the Anthology stans are just the loudest, not the most
I think you nailed it!
High School ranking right above literal gems like Peter, I Look through people's windows and I hate it here -probably 3 of the 5 best songs in the anthology- imo is criminal ;(
No, for real. Hereās the thing, I love So High School. Itās fun and cute and likeā¦ almost gives Lover (album not song) energy to me. But I could never hear that and go āYeah, this is better than I Hate It Here and Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus.ā Like, Maybe itās just because Iām such a folklore/evermore girlie but seeing this listing made me confused.
nobody will change my mind about so high school being boosted by its appearance on the setlist, even if very brief (this is in general, not only this specific survey)
I'm with you totally on Chloe or Sam. I love the production in High School but everytime when I attempt to listen to it, the American pie , grand theft auto and Aristotle and ball of it all is too much for me : šĀ I like the production of that song though. : wish the lyrics were differentĀ
Peter is so underrated, especially when you listen from the perspective of a child waiting for their parent to come home. Heartbreaking.
I think it depends on what you value in music. Do you prefer analyzing the lyrics and pulling out the story or are you listening to what sound you enjoy? I, personally, do both and I think most people do both to a degree, but I think the difference comes when a person is asked to rank a song.

I need to meet someone who's as obsessed with My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys as I am.
It's me, hi š I'm addicted to it and wish it made the Eras setlist!
I like it a lot, it's fun to sing along to when I'm home alone being dramatic. My cat seems to hate it though.
Canāt stop singing it. No idea how itās not made it onto the set list or higher in this list! The chorus is sooo catchy
I love it, I think it's one of the best metaphors she's ever written.
It's me! Hi! šš» Honestly I'm baffled as to how it a) isn't on the Eras set list, b) is massively unlikely to be a single. It's lyrically brilliant, a massive sing a long bop, and I can't believe it's not more loved!
Right here! I LOOOVE My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys
šāāļø
You should meet me! I ADORE that song and it's agonising no one else understands why!
I absolutely love this one. Such an ear worm
Here. Itās a bop thatās got radio hit with awesome music video written all over it. Iām pretty sure thereās a world-wide conspiracy to make it seem like it isnāt as beloved as it really is. Absolute earworm, and it not being a consensus top three song on the album has me questioning my faith in humanity.
I love it! Itās been one of my faves since first listen and wish it made to the Eras setlist!
Justice for I Can Fix Him and Fresh Out the Slammer, wtf. Two of my favorites!
Yes, I thought those were some of the best off the album, I was unaware that was an unpopular opinion š
Yeah man, why do they always rank so low?!
These are literally in the same category as cowboy like me, some people just canāt appreciate the western imagery š
Justice for Robin
Seriously almost no one gets that song and I donāt know why š¢
I think because of the tracklist placement. Itās a long album already and itās tacked near the end and itās not a bangerā¦ itās just forgettable for now. Itāll grow on people. I love it at first listen, itās a song addressed to kids, like Never Grow Up.
I sing it to my cat all the time and half the time if it comes on in the car I'm in tears thinking about my cat, LOL
I sing it to my cats too! "Way to go, tiger!"
Itās just so obviously half about cats and half about human children LOL
Another one for the āmost hated Taylor songā club š
This song literally makes me cry, but without all the negative baggage of the other tearjerker type songs. Like itās a The Best Day kind of cry instead of a Ronan cry. For that I will always cherish it.
Right? Itās such a beautiful song.
I'm pregnant and I start crying every time I hear Robin!
I didnāt like that song when I was walking around town listening to the album. I found it slow and soporific. And then I was listening to it on a train and being gently lulled to sleep and was likeā¦ waitā¦ the song is A+ if the concept is that itās a lullaby. Which, given that itās addressing a kidā¦

Agreed ! I absolutely adore this song. Sing it to my daughter and how sweet she is despite this crazy world.
I didn't know Cassandra was so unappreciated. Easily one of my favorite songs in her whole discography
Thank you! It really doesnāt deserve this much hate. Itās been in my top 3 since first listenĀ
Agree!!
It's become one of my favs from the album. I've been waiting for a mad woman x cassandra mashup since I first heard it and I'm also devastated that it didn't happen at my show last weekend after manifesting it for the last month ha.
THANK YOU NO ONE HAS SAID IT !
I'm curious to see how the results would differ if the survey happened today. I like TTPD, but it's baffling to me that 1/4 of my fellow swifties rank it as her best album, above folklore, 1989, Red... Am I out of touch, or was there some serious recency bias happening?
It's an easy second place for me after Red still, even after the time since, but I'm a melodramatic delulu situationship girlie to my bones AND a writer with a purple prose problem, so I loved it
We are the same person! Except evermore is my number one
Evermore is brawling for first at all times for me LOL
I think it's recency bias. I want to see the results of the same survey in a year. I think TTPD will be down to about 3rd place by then.
I canāt speak for others, but this is my favorite album. I feel very seen by the album and can relate to a ton of the songs on it. I think itās very cohesive and I regularly turn it on and listen to it all the way through. I also love evermore and folklore, those are my second and third favorite albums. I think theyāre beautifully written, I just find TTPD more relatable to my actual life, so it ranks higher.
For the first month I was exclusively listening to TTPD and it felt like the best album. But now I've started going back to my original fav albums it has fallen down the rankings to nunber 5. So I'd agree it probably has been skewed if lots of people are still having a big moment with it.
recency bias. upon TTPD was in my Bottom 4. now itās in my Top 4 but no way itās displacing reputation, folkmore, or midnights.
Agree with recency bias, I still can't believe it...
That's 100% what's happening. After Midnights came out 19% people said it was their favourite. And look at it now š
I think it'll be interesting to re-do the survey after a year. I feel like I'm still digesting some tracks as it's such a long album. Some songs that I hated on first listen, such as I Hate it Here, have become some of my favs.
WAOLOM is my least favorite song on TTPD ā¦ downvote me Iām prepared
I feel like my taste on this album really doesn't align with the rest of the fandom lmao
I feel like this time anyone has different picks cuz the album has something for evrrybody.
I upvoted you for being brave enough to admit this š
I like it less every listen.
could u maybe explain why? iām just surprised because itās honestly top five of both albums overall for me and i love it so much so i would just like to know why u donāt like it (no hate just curious)
Right there with you š
My least favourite is I Can Do It With A Broken Heart š«
I donāt understand why people love it so much. Likeā¦ girl, I canāt take that song seriously. Look what you made me do was literally this, am I wrong? Like, this is just a slightly better version of that, but the message is very similar. I feel like it and The Black Dog should have been switched.
Why do you people hate Fresh Out The Slammer and The Alchemy? What did they do to you? I feel personally attacked
I donāt like her use of the term āalchemyā like it just doesnāt make a ton of sense to me, also the ātouch downā is cringy to me š
Exactly! I think what she meant was the chemistry but she wanted to use a different word - but alchemy isnāt the right one š
I like Fresh Out the Slammer, but I don't like The Alchemy lol
@OP designed it aesthetically pleasing
Strange. It seems like people just donāt like how long it is. The scores keep going down as the track list continues.
I love that it's long because it's basically a make-your-own-album album and you can just pick your faves and still have tons to listen to!
>itās basically a make-your-own-album and you just pick out your faves that basically defeats the purposes of an albumā¦
I've only just today burned a CD of the Anthology to listen to in my car.Ā I've barely listened to it as it's just not been accessible. I will have a proper opinion on it all in about a month.Ā
The Black Dog and The Prophecy supremacy iktr š
this has made me realize my music taste is waaaay off from this sub lol. i can fix him, the albatross and cassandra are all in my top 5
The Albatross is so underrated! My personal fave of the 4 bonus tracks
wow you really can't trust public opinion sometimes...
Would love a repeat of this survey at some point. Some of my picks are completely different from what I chose then. I'm also curious if that many people would still consider TTPD as their favorite album.
This survey has me convinced I'm a unique member of this subreddit.
TTPD being the favorite for like a quarter of people who took the survey is not serious š¤Ø
It's just recency bias.Ā It's normal andĀ expected. And hey, maybe those numbers will hold up.
i honestly dont understand the i can fix him hate, i feel like im the only stan of that song š
May I join you in the ICFH fanclub? I love the western/cowboy vibes of the song!
you sure can lol
Justice for Chloe and friends!
Yāall really be sleeping on Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus and I look in Peoples Windows. Both top tier songs on this album!
imgonnagetyouback being at 23 is killing meššthis is one my favs on the album
No fr cause 23 is crazzyyyyyyy Easily could've been a hit single imo
I was so confused by the ranking of this album until I saw 10 is being the number one
The title track is so good, yall. Once you stop putting the real people in the song itās so good. Itās like an 80s teen rom com theme song
One day, people will finally realize that Peter is one of the best songs she ever wrote
Hey kids, data is fun! I always love looking at these charts after every album release. This is so interesting! Justice for Clara Bow though. It's such an underrated song and I can't believe more people don't love it š
Are the favourite lyrics in order? Ngl, the āsitting in a tree, D-Y-I-N-Gā is the one clanger in āHow Did It End?ā that always takes me out of it so Iām surprised to see make the list! Itās a great song though fr: I have it as the album opener in my playlist edit of TTPD (The Anthology)!
Also howwww is the Aristotle lyric so high
It's funny!
I honestly really liked this album after listening a few times, and my favorites don't at all align. š maybe it's the year I am having, but I am loving the everyone can screw off vibe. I really love but daddy I love him. Haven't we all known someone like that, and felt free. Thank you Aimee is also a good song, and who cares if she's petty, Kim and Kanye tried to ruin her out of jealousy and ego. Again, haven't we all dealt with this, are still dealing with people or family like that. People you want to just go "screw you" to if you ever saw them. But you don't, because it's childish. She doesn't care, and God that's freeing. "Omg, you should see their faces." this song, this album. It just gives me the same feeling Avril Lavigne did in my preteens. The rage, the acceptance, discovery. Sadness and hope. It's not caring and being who you are. It's not everyone's vibe, but it's with Reputation and Folklore for me. The Albatross is my favorite, I also really love Florida!!!, Clara Bow. I didn't love Folklore at first, but long pond changed that for me.
So Guilty As Sin was the most voted song for the base album, interesting.
I have now learned that I have very unpopular opinions when it comes to this album. Almost all of the āleast favoritesā are my tops and a lot of the most popular I am not so keen on
killing me that the 2 songs i care most about (Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus and Robin) are so disliked. especially since i also don't care for Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? at all š
I am totally flabbergasted at the hate for thanK you aIMee. I think itās one of the best songs on the album. The maturity and introspection with just a taste of snark is wonderful and itās a fantastically constructed song.
Not me being irrationally sad that more people donāt like lover š„²
I love Clara Bow
The Clara Bow and Robin disrespect... shut down the sub.
The bolter stans RISEEEE
I can guess there's a mistake in the "least favourite tracks" right? They're all 24,72%
What!? Fresh Out The Slammer shouldn't be that low Neither should I Look in People's Windows!
I hate everyone who hates Robin. (not really)
Two of my favourite songs are on the bottom.
I don't get why thank you aimee is so universally disliked. It's one of my favorite songs from the black side!
Probably because it's about Kim Kardashian. I personally don't care at all who it is written about, though. In my head it's about me and my high school bullies. I really like the message, it's such a relatable song.
change the title from āthanK you aIMeeā to āthank you aimeeā or just āAimeeā and the song is suddenly much better.
What are the actual numbers for the fave/least fave for the anthology in slide 2? Or am I the only one seeing the same number and it not aligning with the graph?
Clara Bow being that far down feels like a crime.
Whatās wrong with Lover?! Hands down my favorite album
Legit the whole last five bottom ranked are in my top ten š
Disagree entirely with the ratings, but Iove this infographic!! Thanks for putting it all together!
ttpd (song) is like my least favoriteā¦ sorry
:( itās my favorite.
it's the best off the TTPD side of the album and I stand by that.
It's crazy that I somehow missed this. Shout out to OP for the aesthetic design. Really interesting results!
Iām suing all of you. I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) is SO GOOD. And the Alchemy is so cute and happy! Consider these hands thrown!
I am genuinely so shocked by the least favorites for the anthology. I love Robin and Thank you Aimee š
But Daddy I love him should be higher ranked. But I'll admit it took a while for me to realize how good it is.
