    Taylor Swift is one of the Greatest songwriters of Our generation. I have listened to the whole album and this album actually has a more Country Rock feel to it rather than her usual Country Pop sound. This is the most mature album of her career and its worth every penny. I have to give Taylor credit for this album, she has grown and mastered the art of being a true artist.

    Taylor Swift has shown with this album that she is a musical force that is here to stay. Her ability to capture her state of mind at a particular moment, match it with an insanely catchy melody and then allow listeners a glimpse of it while not being overly navel-gazing or overly introspective is unmatched.

    There is no doubt that Red is a masterpiece, however it will be necessary for you to have a long history of love to fully understand this album. And it is that although the central theme is the love tragedies sometimes it is important to adapt all that for a public in general however it is not completely annoying and you will surely enjoy it in one way or another.

    What can I say about Red that hasn’t already been said? All in all, this is one absolutely fantastic album, and this clearly shows how talented Taylor Swift is as a musician. This is a near perfect album, with half of its songs earning a “Favorites” symbol, and 4 others getting a perfect score. The only song I wasn’t too thrilled about was The Last Time, but I didn’t think it was a bad song, it just wasn’t quite as good as the others. Swift is a very talented musician, combining top-notch lyrics with very catchy tunes. This is one of my all time favorite albums, and thus far it has received the highest score so far of any I have reviewed. Highlights: State of Grace, Red, I Knew You Were Trouble, All Too Well, 22, I Almost Do, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Stay Stay Stay, Holy Ground, The Lucky One, Everything Has Changed, and Starlight.    … Expand

    Swift once again does it. Lyrics, emotion, vulnerability but this time she changes the sound a bit and so starts her transition into a pop supreme. With Red she uncovers a spectrum of emotions, from songs like 22 to others like All Too Well and The Moment I Knew.

First hitting my eardrums during my freshman year of high school, this album is one I hold close to my heart, along with all of the memories of me during my very long awkward stage.

I found out a lot about who I was during the few years until Taylor’s next project would drop, and RED was my steadfast companion on that journey. (I remember listening to it during PE’s hellish 2-mile runs, Taylor’s poppiest-country-album to-date cheering me on all the way until the color of my face matched the title of this album.)
    Taylor’s songwriting on this album continues to impress, with tracks like State of Grace, All Too Well, I Almost Do, The Last Time, Holy Ground, and The Lucky One being my major standouts, in this regard.
    I’ve seen fans state that RED is a fall-time album, and I think that I would agree. There’s a coziness about this album that makes you want to curl up in front of a fireplace with a blanket, a cup of tea, and some knitting needles as Taylor serenades you with some of her most well-written songs to-date.    … Expand

    a messily beautiful album. an album you will always go back to when you're sad. beautiful lyrics, very sad, tracking is as messy as how you're feeling when you want to listen to this album.

    Taylor Swift is one of the Greatest songwriters of Our generation. I have listened to the whole album and this album actually has a more Country Rock feel to it rather than her usual Country Pop sound. This is the most mature album of her career and its worth every penny. I have to give Taylor credit for this album, she has grown and mastered the art of being a true artist.

Taylor has a mix of Country, Pop, and Rock songs but that doesn't mean she's left her County roots. Songs like "Stay Stay Stay," "I Almost Do," and "Begin Again" remind us why Taylor is wining in the Country World right now… Expand

    'Red' (2012), de Taylor Swift, é o 4º disco de estúdio da cantora e marca uma transição do country para, de fato, se consagrar como uma pop-star. 'Red' fala sobre amores, perdas, é vivo e delicado. Com certeza é o álbum mais profundo e coeso da discografia de Swift. Um Country-Rock, com algumas batidas pop em canções como "22" e "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". No geral, é um'Red' (2012), de Taylor Swift, é o 4º disco de estúdio da cantora e marca uma transição do country para, de fato, se consagrar como uma pop-star. 'Red' fala sobre amores, perdas, é vivo e delicado. Com certeza é o álbum mais profundo e coeso da discografia de Swift. Um Country-Rock, com algumas batidas pop em canções como "22" e "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". No geral, é um álbum intenso e cheio de paixões.
    "State of Grace", abre o álbum de uma forma tão apaixonante, intensa e verdadeira, que você sente a música correndo em suas veias. "Love is a ruthless game. Unless you play it good and right." (ela canta em 'State of Grace', abrindo alas para o que virá dizer o álbum). 'Treacherous' é uma canção que começa de um jeito suave, e que revela uma ponte estrondosa. Talvez seja uma das músicas mais grandiosas do álbum.
    'Holy Ground' e 'The Last TIme' possuem uma pegada mais lenta, e que revelam a capacidade de escrita de Taylor Swift. Este álbum, de maneira geral, conta várias histórias que se conectam. Mostra o quão ótima compositora Swift é. 'Begin Again' talvez seja a música com mais cara de country no álbum, possui uma pegada suave e apaixonante.
    Mas nenhuma dessas canções conseguem contar histórias de uma forma tão perfeita e coesa quanto 'All Too Well', e 'The Moment I Knew'. Ambas essas canções, falam sobre o mesmo relacionamento. A capacidade que Swift tem de fazer recortes e preservar memórias é impressionante. "I walked through the door with you, the air was cold (...) Left my scarf there at your sister's house. And you still got it in you drawer, even now." Esse trecho de 'All Too Well' mostra a memória tão detalhada que Swift possui, e, principalmente, a coragem que ela possui de contar detalhes do relacionamento. "But you keep my old scarf from that very first week. 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me. You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well." Esses versos mostram como que, por mais que os relacionamentos acabem, existem laços que são muito difíceis de serem quebrados ou esquecidos. E 'Red' faz questão de relembrar cada momento de um relacionamento, fazendo com que os ouvintes se identifiquem com as canções, e consigo visualizar exatamente o que Taylor está tentando contar.    … Expand

    Es un álbum genial, unos de los mejores álbumes de Taylor Swift, tanto sus canciones, sus letras, la producción, el pop/country sobresale en canciones como 22, unas de las más alegres, canciones muy country's como All too Well o I Almost Do te cuenta una historia de comienzo a final con el escuchar de sus labios y el sonido de la guitarra.

While this is Swift's most lyrically mature album, some of the production is lacking and a lot of tracks seem to have pacing issues, but when you find yourself waiting for the next big hit she gives it to you before you decide to take a break from her. Although I enjoyed the stories we are told on this album and I love Swift dabbling in pop, I'm still seeing the same issues she's had on every album beforehand, so I still want to see growth.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. E mais uma vez Taylor Swift surpreende, desta vez expandindo barreiras, neste você consegue sentir com firmeza que o albúm quer te passar, a representação do amor vermelho ardente que existe nas composições, Taylor realmente se superou, as faixas All To Well e Begin Again são muito bem feitas e com certeza se tornam umas das maiores canções de sua carreira. Além disso a produção do albúm foi muito bem trabalhada, como se pode ver nas faixas State of Grace e Starlight, e suas notas em We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together e I Knew You Were Trouble estão de parabéns, essas duas músicas se tornaram hits bem memoráveis e que ficam na memória de todos como chiclete, fazendo assim o albúm inteira ficar marcado de trabalho duro e coerência, mais uma vez parabéns a Taylor Swift e sua equipe pelo grande albúm.

    «Red» is her most interesting full-length to date, but it probably won't be when all is said and done in her career. And it is done with that moment when she released «folklore» and «evermore». But nevertheless it is the perfect quintessence of found and lost love.

    Hearing Taylor Swift sing makes you remember these things, how you can wax poetic one day about the efficacy of love to change lives permanently for the better, and the next rail about how love leads only to pain and heartache.

    More varied in its offerings, but also more disjointed than her previous work, Red sounds like a transitional album for Swift.
