I sort of laughed at it last night but I think I’m actually going to buy the clean version of the CD, I’m not at all interested in some of the cursing on a couple of the songs. I wish the vinyl had a clean version. I think I’m going to wait a bit to order anything, nothing I want is limited and I might be better off waiting to see if target releases a cd and vinyl again.
I still don't know how I feel about
Taylor swearing in her latest songs from her latest two albums. I guess
'Folklore' prepared me for
'Evermore', but I don't get a good impression or feeling when I first hear her new songs and there are swears in it like
"f*ck" because she never used to swear like that in her songs. I do wonder why they don't have the vinyl records in the clean version. Maybe they will eventually with just the regular edition
'Folklore' brown color vinyl record, and the same with the
'Evermore' green vinyl record (the only one so far). But I wonder how they'd differentiate it. They only put a sticker on the vinyl records that says
"Explicit" I think, like the CDs. And after thinking about it, I think they did need to make a clean version with the
"In The Trees" cover as it's the only CD to be sold in stores (the other seven were online exclusives), so by that logic there should be a
"clean" vinyl record to be sold in stores. I'm just glad there aren't clean versions of every edition out of the eight versions of
'Folklore'. It would be even more to collect, holy crap.
Like I said in my previous post(s) I'm happy and relieved to see this
'Evermore' merch collection is not as limited as they make it out to be. It's all pre-orders so I think it will be there for a while like the
'Folklore' main collection was. They at first had unlimited stock for it to take the pre-orders that they would get right away, then they limited the stock and it kept going down, but it was restocked or replenished again recently. So if you want something from the collection it will hopefully be there for a while. I've been worried about random
24 or
48 hour releases because during the
'Folklore' era they were all random and we didn't know when there would be a new one. Maybe they realize (and I hope they do) that it's just before
Christmas and people will have spent most of their money for the season on gifts already, and not as many people are going to buy
Taylor merch now. Maybe they would do limited edition releases into the new year. I just hope if there's things I really want that I have the money for it while it's available.
I would like to see
'Target' have exclusive releases for
'Evermore' too. It's odd there wasn't an exclusive CD already. It took two weeks after
'Folklore' was surprised released for the physical CD and the
'Target' exclusive physical CD to be released in stores. But this time for
'Evermore' the physical CD was released just one week after its surprise release. Stores must've been informed a little ahead of time this time for this release. I wonder if the fact that
'Evermore' hasn't had any exclusive CD or vinyl record versions yet is the reason why
'Evermore' doesn't have a
'Target' exclusive CD. Because there's no alternate covers for a
'Target' exclusive to pull a cover from yet like they did with the
"Meet Me Behind The Mall" cover. I do hope they have a
'Evermore' vinyl record too though. I guess they don't want to make people wait like the online store did and have a pre-order for four months, as they only just took pre-orders and released the
'Target' exclusive red vinyl record for
'Folklore' about three or four weeks before it was to be released. So by that logic, there would maybe be an
'Evermore' vinyl record ready for pre-order by
March of next year and be released in
April. What color would they do I wonder?
