    this album is her 2nd best (only behind Folklore), its lyrics and productions are really good, the lack of cohesive is the only bad thing but it's still an amazing work

    Start using new sounds makes this album even better. This is a country album and alson has some dubstep influence and classic pop sound, with deep lyrics and an amazing production.

    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.

    After his country show album, it's a shame he has few productions and sounds with its origin. I expected an even better album, sound is not bad but it becomes totally average with this mix. Working with versatility is not easy, it's a challenge and it didn't work out to Taylor's point, I still felt emotions and grit in their compositions, but in production and even better soundAfter his country show album, it's a shame he has few productions and sounds with its origin.

    This album is a musical perfection. Swift managed to shift from country to pop flawlessly, focusing mostly on pop songs included on the record, but having most of the album country-pop oriented.

    This might be the best existing Taylor Swift album. Extremely catchy songs combine with exquisite narrative framing of her transitioning into adulthood. The strength of these powerful songs is further revealed when Taylor plays them in the stripped-down acoustic format.

    I am still a little bit mad that a country pop masterpiece like Red did not win Album of the Year or Best Country Album in the Grammys 2014. Taylor Swift is one of the greatest songwriters of our generation. The whole album is not consist of country sound but also pop rock, dubstep, country pop... And it is a very fun, emotional, beautiful album with beautiful lyrics.

    This album is one of Taylor's best album lyrics wise because every songs tells a story that makes us feel like we're in there too. Some songs that cross over to pop also very great and catchy. Not gonna lie this album is one of the emotional and saddest album of Taylor.

    One of the most vulnerable pieces of music of the decade, I still don't get how it could be snubbed at the Grammys.

    If only Stay Stay Stay had been discarded for Better Man this would be Taylor's best album forever and ever, but since she didn't this stays as a great album that could be topped if she puts her mind to it (may have already done so with Floklore, Idk I need to give it a few more listens but both are GOOD)

    Red is that holy Bible of Taylor Swift which makes us feel the kinda emotions of every nature. This album may not be well understood by critics but the listeners are able to very much connect and understand the album very well. Love you Tay❤.

    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.

    I like the feisty ones, as I generally do. But "Begin Again" and especially "Stay Stay Stay" stay happy and hit just as hard.

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