's latest era would bring? Or even what it would sound like? Would it build off the moodiness of “Midnights” or the folk of “evermore”? The country or the '80s pop of her latest re-records? Or its two predecessors in black-and-white covers: the revenge-pop of “Reputation” and the literary Americana of “folklore”?

The fictitious “Fresh Out The Slammer” begins with a really pretty psych guitar tone that disappears beneath wind-blown production; the new wave-adjacent “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” brings back “Barbie”: “I felt more when we played pretend than with all the Kens / 'Cause he took me out of my box.”

And yet, “The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived” may be her most biting song to date: “You didn't measure up in any measure of a man,” she sings atop propulsive piano. “I'll forget you, but I won't ever forgive,” she describes her target, likely the same “tattooed golden retriever,” a jejune description, mentioned in the title track.
