    I love how Taylor Swift step out from her comfort zone and experimented other genres. She delivered catchy and sure-to-be-hit pop songs and at the same time beautiful classic country tracks. But for me, although Red is another excellent album from Taylor Swift, Speak Now remains her best album.

    This album combines her best side of the country, with a touch of dub-step and pop, it makes this record so beautiful from the artwork, to the lyrics, HER BEST ALBUM!, I didn't like Taylor Swift, until I heard this, the vocals, the essence, the sound, the lyrics, makes this Album PERFECT!

    I was never really into Taylor Swift, but I decided to give the lady a chance with this album. In all honesty, it's my second favorite album of the year. There's no denying that Taylor has the music industry by the balls. In all honesty, she did a fantastic job with this record!

    'RED' sounds more like a commercial appeal than as a sincere act of Swift, but who says something can not be good business and at the same time?

    Taylor Swift's best album to date! This album has more Genres than her usual Country music. Starting with Begin Again, which was one of the best songs of the album. Then "We are never getting back together" another awesome song. My favorite is "Red" song, even though critics say Taylor Swift is not good for pop rock, I found that song to be incredible!

    Um álbum super bom que faz um mix perfeito entre o Country e o Pop, acho que a Taylor Swift saiu da sua zona de conforto e fez músicas mais agressivas como I Knew You Were Trouble e 22.
    Sem contar nas letras que são melhores do que dos dois CDs anteriores, para mim o destaque vai para suas parceria The Last Time (Feat. Gary Lightbody) e Everything Has Changed (feat. Ed Sheeran).

Red may be the smartest album made ​​by a girl of 20-22 years old, Lyrics by Swift are emotional you can feel what she wrote, Red starts with State of Grace a song which make the direction of the album as well as feelings of Swift, after is Red a song who she realize that she misses her ex boyfriend she can't move on cause he still burning red in her mind and heart, and then treacherous and i knew you were trouble just a s treacherous, i knew you were trouble is about a relationship with trouble guys, treacherous is the begin ikywt is the end, all too well is the center of album if you understand this song may you can understand the whole album. 22 song about her friends, because c'mon she's a beautiful girl she deserves have fun. i almost do, she still misses her ex but she starts realize that she needs move on so she decides that WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER. but just as all the girls by 20-23 years old she still daydreaming about real love, the last time a song with intense vocals just embedded in the thematic of the song Vocals by Gary LightBody fell as a sleeve in this song, holy ground are the nicest song in this album, sad beautiful tragic are so sad but so intense it's just the start of begin the lucky one is when sh realize that she's became very famous but she still felts like a ordinary people then is everything has changed, starlight and begin again so we can see the new taylor swift more adult, sexy but still with a beautiful heart that delights many people.

    Fantástico. É possível perceber claramente o amadurecimento dela em relação aos álbuns anteriores, e isso é incrível. As pessoas que não gostam do álbum provavelmente sequer o ouviram com sentiram as letras das músicas. São divertidas, emocionantes, agradáveis. São felizes, livres, confusas e solitárias. Sinta a música sem nenhum preceito, é isso que este álbum nos traz.

His latest album "Red" has meant the passage that was lacking for the last time imminent internationalization. With Red, Swift won for the second time debut on the charts a week of sales above a million copies and became the first female musical act to do so, also had his first # 1 single on the Billboard charts with nominated last year Record of the Year for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and a global hit as was "I Knew You Were Trouble".
    Red is the most sold for this year's Grammys with just over six million copies (which sells all of the other four nominees for album of the year together) and generally had a good reception from the critics album, which they name their album more mature and adventurous so far. In fact, this album Taylor first dares to expose without any camouflage pop genre, and it was really well as he promoted the album despite being competing this year in the country categories, but in that case it would work in music pop more honest and intelligent than we have seen at least the last five or six years.
    Anyway Network has its downs, and it is in those moments where he experimented with a more commercial and mainstream sound, songs such as "22" or the same ... We Are Never noticed a decline and it feels the album could have been a masterpiece if Swift had decided to work with what she speaks perfect, soft melodies, epic sounds and powerful lyrics. Of those things are full Red rises undoubtedly outweigh all its shortcomings on issues such as Treacherous, Sad Tragic Beautiful, Begin Again (nominated for best country song), Holy Ground and definitely if you can call it a masterpiece "All Too Well ". That song is regardless of what the nominees for song of the year, the best that existed in the period of eligibility (I was affected by not being released as a single) and the best thing ever written Taylor Swift.

    É um álbum onde Taylor colocou todas suas emoções, um álbum extremamente pessoal. As baladas românticas, como é o caso de Treacherous e I Almost Do, tratam de relacionamentos passados em que Taylor se tornava uma prisioneira de si mesma, já em músicas experimentais como ''All Too Well'' e ''I Knew You Were Trouble'', Taylor se mostra fugindo dessa prisão.

    Por que Taylor não faturou o Grammy de Álbum do Ano?

    Se tratarmos do álbum como um todo, teremos uma obra de arte: letras muito bem compostas, produção impecável e divulgação massiva, tem tudo para ser o melhor álbum da carreira da Taylor, com uma exceção: não possui um gênero definido. O álbum é uma linha entre o Country e o Pop, é a transição do Speak Now(2010) para o 1989(2014), então podemos considerar como um álbum experimental. Se o álbum de primeira não ganhou em categorias pequenas do Grammy, como ''Best Country Album'', porque ganharia o Grammy de ''Álbum do Ano''?

    Quando estamos falando de sonoridade de um álbum, falamos da sua identidade. A identidade do Red ficou perdida, e não se tornou nem um álbum conceitual, nem um álbum genérico, mas o meio disso, por isso não faturou Grammy de Álbum do Ano.

    Mas, com certeza, se tornou um marco na carreira de Swift: letras excelentes, boa produção, as faixas ficaram bem colocadas na tracklist, e Taylor pode viajar entre vários estilos musicais durante o álbum. Desde o pop eletrônico de I Knew You Were Trouble até o pseudo-jazz de ''The Last Time(feat. Gary Ligthbody)''    … Expand

    Red is Taylor's best album yet. The singer-songwriter manages to blend her signature country twang to a multitude of other genres, like U2's arena rock, or Ed Sheeran's acoustic folk. Her lyricism is also top-notch, and the songs are incredibly catchy. However there are a few filler tracks like I Almost Do, or The Last Time, that should have not made it into the final cut.

Criado como um disco de experimentações, a própria cantora o descreve como uma “colcha de retalhos” na qual ela pôde trabalhar com colaboradores diferentes dos quais costumava, como Max Martin e Shellback. Segundo Taylor, compor a faixa-título foi primordial ao projeto, pois a fez descartar tudo o que tinha feito até então e recomeçar as gravações do zero. Ela diz que resolveu dar este nome ao álbum porque “quando você se apaixona, tudo acontece tão rápido e fica fora de controle e há um monte de sentimentos que se misturam, como paixão, alegria, ciúmes, frustração, falta de comunicação e várias outras emoções que, em sua mente, são todas da cor vermelha”. O carro-chefe do álbum, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, e o terceiro single, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, tornaram-se grandes sucessos da música pop e foram também as primeiras faixas de Taylor a figurarem o topo da Hot 100, maior parada musical do mundo. “Red” foi o segundo disco de Taylor a ser indicado à Álbum do Ano na premiação mais importante da indústria musical, o GRAMMY.… Expand

With RED, 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

    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.

    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.
