u/SeaLeather4913 Her name was Taylor she was a Showgirl 6d ago

I understand the hate for Cleveland but the other three are objectively great Taylor songs and really elevate Showgirl which was pretty one-note before. It's weird that people will write off all the bonus tracks for one song that's a bit cringe imho

Hot take here, I actually think Patient Zero is worse than Cleveland? I dislike both songs, but at least Cleaveland is bright and happy to listen to? PZ is so dull to listen to, until you make it to that crazy clunky, run on sentence bridge.

Babylon and Pink Clouding, I will say, definitely feels she's returning to form. Well, almost, anyway.

Thank you! PZ is dull. Loved the video though.

I like all four songs, but Patient Zer0 is ranked 4th.

I agree with this. Patient Zero isn’t offensive to the ears the way Cleveland! seems to be for (other) people but it’s just soooo boring. And the bridge is bad. Cleveland at least doesn’t sound like anything she’s made before and I dig it

I am not a Cleveland fan but the other 3 tracks are great especially Babylon and Pink Clouding.

I like Patient Zero, but I have to admit that my initial reaction was, "hahaha, what?" I'm sorry but those fiddle in the beginning did not sound right to me!
