This is INSANE. The writer who wrote the 4.0 review of The Encore admits that he previously hated TTPD because of internet discourse but now loves it.
In no world is it acceptable to have someone review an artist they admit they can't be objective on. Even at Pitchfork.
1. Everyone hates TTPD and Jack's production when it comes out
2. Taylor hence receives the feedback to make a smaller album that's heavy on pop with Max Martin washed ass and Shellback
3. You get a very poppy album TLOAS that is obviously not written like TTPD.
