In part two of their analysis of "The Tortured Poets Department," Bianca and Julian wax poetic about one of the most talked about aspects of the album - Taylor Swift as a poet. Is she a poet or just a phenomenal lyricist? What's the fine line between "poetry" and "lyrics"? This episode also dives into:
- Reviews of the album
- Taylor's high profile ventures into other art forms
- The best way to listen to music
- What makes a song effective (the "Full Package" argument)
- Taylor's best and most questionable lyrics
- Trimming (or waxing) this collection into a 13-song album
- The purpose of double albums
