It was brought up that the wording is vague. I think any reader with a basic understanding of the English language can parse out for themselves the meaning of this, which to me basically means that because the music is more textured than the otherwise usually tune-focused Swift has done, it is consequently less distinct. On the other hand, it could also be interpreted as more textured music led to less focused (or more confused) lyrics. But I think the former reading is more likely. Either way, to argue that this is vague and yet such summaries as "the sound could have been better" or the production was "redundant" (neither getting into any more specifics, ... it's silly. And the other sources, with all due respect, are either not as notable or not as engagingly written, or summarized, in that paragraph. And the writing should be engaging.

:Hi. I figure you are attempting to include Xgau because you are a fan of his work. The Critical Reception section has enough reviews and anymore reviews, be it Xgau or anybody else, are not required. Midnights is a year-old album and Xgau's review is also as old. The other reviews were added here first when the article was being created, with which the article passed [[WP:GA]]. The Critical Reception section is fine in its current size, so [[WP:AINT|do not fix what's not broken]]. Please quit the [[WP:POINT|point-making]] edits. "There are two huuuge paragraphs of praise, about 6 to 8 looong sentences each" is factually false. The first para is praise, the second para focuses on specific comments about the album and the third the mixed comments. Considering the album has a metascore of 85%, the prose is obliged to be 85% positive and 15% mixed and that's exactly how it is right now. The critical reception section, in its current state, is commensurate with the metascore.
