    Without doubt Swift's most confident and varied album to date, Speak Now manages to just beat the also pretty amazing Fearless in terms of song quality.

Swift's vocals and writing are top-notch this time round, and not one song is a throwaway. The choruses are typical Swift fare, which is no doubt a good thing and the line-up doesn't suffer from the mild repetition her last outing did, which is impressive considering the hefty 22 song line-up in the Special Edition. Swift must also be commended for her song-writing ability, which is out in full force this time. All of this means that while Speak Now is on par with Fearless song-wise, the variety pushes it past the 9/10 of the previous album, and into 10/10 territory.… Expand

    Great album. It shows a lot of lyrical growth and her vocals have improved to. The songs are all really good and meaningful. The best songs are beck to december, better than revenge and mean. The only reason this is getting bad reviews is because saddos (like the ones she sings about in mean) are jelous and write bad reviews because they don't have jobs or lives. Best album of 2010 by far

    Notice that not one of those zero reviews make mention of one song on the album. I call **** **** This is a great pop record with some of the catchiest tracks I've heard this year; at the same time, "Dear John" and "Haunted" show talent beyond the basic stage she's at now.

    Speak Now has a kiss and tell approach but heck, the songwriting is just good. I expected a downfall after a damn strong record named Fearless but she just topped that. The last three songs are great and I expect "Dear John" to appear in some best of year;s list.
    Wow. Giving a grade of Zero is really unjust. I thought that this is her best album so far.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First of all, everyone who rated this album 0, I'm betting you didn't listen to more than 2 or 3 songs off of it, if that at all. Don't judge just based on past albums, or whether you think she has talent or not. Honestly. Now on to the review part...

    I think this is Taylor's best album yet. Me, being a huge Taylor fan, had high expectations for this album. And I was ecstatic that those expectations were met. I love how she is so down-to-earth and real, and not going and sleeping with every guy out there. Listening to her songs is like reading her diary, and fans, such as myself, like that. She has clearly matured in both her writing and her vocals. Not that I didn't enjoy all the prince charming fairytale endings-- because believe me, I did-- but I really like the way her writing has changed. She's still sticking to some love songs, because Taylor wouldn't be Taylor if her songs weren't about love. But her love songs are maturing as well. She shows a weaker, more vulnerable side of herself, like in "Back To December" and "Last Kiss". She's also clearly getting a lot deeper in her songs. One of my personal favorite songs, "Never Grow Up", is such a sweet, down-to-earth, and real song. It's completely relatable to anyone who wishes they were a little kid again. In "Innocent", the song written for Kanye West and the VMA incident in 2009, she is forgiving him, despite what he did to her. And in "Back To December", she is asking for forgiveness and saying sorry herself. It takes a person with a great character to admit that they're wrong and that they hurt you, and say "I'm sorry." Especially for a celebrity. She's showing that even celebrities aren't perfect. They're still humans, and they screw up. Taylor is an amazing girl in so many ways-- she's beautiful, both inside and out, she has an amazing personality, as well as great musical and vocal talent. She's young, and she still has the rest of her life in front of her. My only "complaint" is that Dear John is a bit long. It's still a fantastic song, but it's a bit long. But I do like it. Overall, this album is amazing. I love Taylor and Speak Now! (:    … Expand

    "Speak Now" is one more stunning creation in what is becoming a truly unique discography of a truly special artist.

It's really amusing to see the jealous critics of this remarkable young artist saying "the same old things". Her singing on "Speak Now" -- so moving in the tender and vulnerable moments, so powerful in its climaxes, so adaptable to all the musical styles used -- just gets stronger and stronger. Personally, I would love to hear any of those so-called "technically superior" songstresses try to match Swift's depths of feeling on lines like "I don't know how to be something you miss" or "Run as fast as you can". And "Speak Now" incorporates so many diverse musical styles -- sultry,explosive rock ("Sparks Fly"), punk pop ("Better Than Revenge"), big production pop ("Haunted"), Roots Country ("Mean"), Folk ("Never Grow Up"), triumphant arena anthems ("Long Live"), heartbreaking confessionals ("Last Kiss" and "Back to December"), and the blues exorcism of "Dear John" -- yet Swift, effortlessly, sounds at home in any of those genres. Anybody who claims Taylor can't sing anymore, bring on your pretender -- let her have a go at "Dr John" (a song which may become Taylor's version of the Beatles' "Hey Jude" -- too long to be a single, but too mesmerizing to ignore, influencing music for years to come).… Expand

With pure country-pop songs like "Speak Now" & "Mean" she begins to tell us a story, and with songs like "Dear John" & "Back To December" she tells us a confession. She has even stepped out of the box with Pop-Rock songs like "Better Than Revenge" & "The Story Of Us" which gives us another side of Taylor we haven't seen before. Each song in this album has a meaning and has the ability to capture an audience and make them feel an emotion a connection and a voice!

    i think Speak Now is the best album of Taylor Swift, maybe better than Fearless. She writes songs with her heart, not like other artists, such as Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. I am not saying that she is the best, but people really shouldn't criticise her too much, cause simple and childish is what we have forgotten, that's what Taylor has and we don't have!!

    Taylor does it again. With another Pop-Country masterpiece, Swift once again ups her game, improving upon Speak Now's wonderful predecessor Fearless, which in turn, improved upon her self-titled debut album. Tracks like "Dear John", "Speak Now", "Long Live", and the album's best, "Enchanted", mold together to make an amazing third studio album from Miss Swift, her best yet.

    A sonoridade do álbum ainda se mantém firme dentro do country pop como seus 2 primeiros álbuns, mas aqui ele também varia até o pop rock. O álbum é bastante pessoal e linear, com letras sobre relacionamentos, como um verdadeiro diário. A sonoridade optada pela cantora uma hora mais folk acústica, outra mais pesada com guitarras serve pra adentrar o ouvinte na atmosfera do álbum e sentir por alguns minutos a mesmo sentimento da cantora. O álbum é bastante extenso e Taylor parece não se preocupar com a duração de algumas faixas, como por exemplo "Dear John" que ultrapassa os 7 minutos e relata em um dos melhores momentos líricos da sua relação com o também cantor e ex-namorado, John Mayer. Assim como no título do álbum "Speak Now" (fale agora - em português), que também dá nome a uma das faixas, a cantora não hesita em dizer tudo o que precisa e sente. As letras são bem explícitas e demonstram aparentemente muita verdade e autenticidade, o que acaba por dar o toque pessoal da artista que nos seus discos sucessores ficaria ainda mais comentada pela sua capacidade de transformar situações cotidianas em versos e estrofes de canções bem sucedidas. "Speak Now" é um esforço significativo de maturidade e aqui a cantora e compositora de todas as faixas demonstra mais habilidade ainda, por também participar da produção por completo do álbum e da execução de alguns dos instrumentos.
    O álbum passeia por excelentes momentos, entre eles "Mean" - que fala sobre bullying e tem um som característico do banjo no álbum, "Innocent" onde a artista perdoa o rapper Kanye West pelo seu desrespeito no VMA de 2009, as orquestradas "Haunted", "Back to December" e "Enchanted", além da longa "Last Kiss" e da country rock "Long Live" que apresenta uma das melhores composições do álbum que no Brasil ficou famosa com a participação da sertaneja Paula Fernandes.    … Expand

In this album she delved much deeper into her confessional approach to songwriting by writing solely all of the songs excluding "If This Was A Movie" which is a bonus track.

Here we saw Taylor, experimenting with different genres. She plays with her root genres which are pop and country and expands to alternative rock. She never stayed in one genre for too long. she conquered new territories and the result was flawless. Another amazing thing about this album are the epic lyrics. Here she took the "Speak Now" phrase seriously and boy did she speak now. She calls out her critics in "Mean". The song was very cleverly written it won her 2 grammys. She wishes she didn't grow up while showing a mature side in "Never Grow Up" She apologizes to her ex in "Back to December" and explicitly gives reference to sex in "Sparks Fly". She reminisces a lost love in "Last Kiss", shows forgiveness in "Innocent" and bashes a girl who stole her bf in "Better Than Revenge". Taylor didn't fail in the lyrics department and gave us two of her most amazing lines ever. 'You made a rebel of a careless man’s carefull daughter’ from "Mine" and 'people throw rocks at things that shine' from "Ours" slays discographies. Another thing that one would notice about the album is how she pushes her voice. She shows how she has improved vocally in "Dear John" and "Haunted" where she belts out the climaxes while not losing her signature voice in "Speak Now" and in the intro of "Enchanted". What I like about this album is that she didn't make this album to be radio-friendly. She didn't compromise quality over having hits. Most of the songs are lengthy and those songs are the gems of the album. They are just too long and too good to be played on the radio. Another thing that Taylor made sure was to make the album relatable to her fans which she always delivers with her albums. This album is a manifestation of Taylor's growth as an artist, and if this album is any indication of what she will become in the future, I am excited to see what she has to offer her coming albums.

    Speak Now is the best Taylor Swift album. Everything crafted with so much care, the country pop/country rock songs are really enjoyable. Also, the themes of the album are great in every way :)

    It is Taylor's best album. In this one, Taylor show us personal experiences, like the broke up with Taylor Lautner, or the accident with Kanye West at the VMA's, bullying. The lyrics work in a way that only Taylor can do it. It's a masterpiece.

    No weak tracks on this one. Taylor put her whole heart in the lyrics, describing different situations in her life that makes the album far from being monotonous.

    One of the finest female albuns ever made. "Enchanted" and "Innocent" are the production highlights, but the whole album, exclusively "Mean", developed a succesful instrumental experiment. Taylor Swift has shown her poetry once again.

    Speak Now is a masterpiece. It's Taylor's best record to date. Starting with (her probably best) lead single "Mine", Speak Now sets high expectations. Though the record stays perfect without fillers. Highlights include the top 10 smash "Back to December", the twice grammy award winning single "Mean" or the title track.

    Speak Now is the best album of Taylor YES! (Red Poor), it shows her true side without 11 composers in a song (All The Single Ladies), or buy the almost complete composition of Bonnie (You make me feel like a ...), I think that if Taylor had taken "Innocent" album would be a true work of art.

    For an artist with my ratings, it is extremely hard to get an album into the “nine” range. So far, I have reviewed six of Taylor Swift’s seven albums, and not one, not two, but three of hers have reached this point. Only nine albums have gotten a score higher than a 8.00, and Swift has three in that range. This just reflects Swift’s ability to write amazing music. Speak Now got a score of 9.14, the second best I have reviewed after Swift’s earlier release, Fearless. This is well-earned, too. As always, Swift demonstrates her music-writing capability by blowing it out of the water with Speak Now. Mine, Mean, The Story Of Us, and Enchanted are some of my all time favorite songs, and a lot of material from Swift’s third album is near this quality. I don’t really have any complaints. Last Kiss might have been a little lackluster but even that wasn’t horrible, as I really liked its lyrics. All in all, I had an amazing time listening to Speak Now and I am sad that there is only one album from Taylor Swift I have not reviewed yet, meaning I am almost done listening to different material from her. I really enjoy Swift’s music and everyone who loves good music will too.

An entirely self written album that is a testament to her power as a song writer. Once more we are taken into the diary of a growing woman. From the beginning Taylor ropes us in with the preppy love song Mine. Taylor then transitions into an apology for the wrong she did to one of her past loves in Back To December then moving on to a deep cutting and highly revealing Dear John. Touching on the struggles of growing up and moving out to be on your own Taylor begs her younger self to hold onto her childhood memories and to Never Grow Up. Then we receive the effervescent love song Enchanted which transports us all back to a time where we found a connection one night, one that sent us home smiling and full of hope while simultaneously fearing that they may be in love with another. Many non "Swifties" will be surprised to that Innocent is a track about forgiving the infamous Kanye scandal at the VMAs. Singing to West that she understands that sometimes life is hard and that the mistakes of your past do not define who you really are before moving on to two heart wrenching songs. Haunted and Last Kiss are arguably in the top 5 songs off the album pulling at the heartstrings and once more showing Swift's impeccable understanding of heartbreak. Rounding out the album and the song Long Live that champions her success and thanking the fans for always being there and launching her to where she is. Speak Now deserves more credit and is a testament to the power of her song writing skills.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful album... The fact that taylor wrote this ALL by herself so young it's just amazing, no wonder she is where she is now. 'Enchanted' is one of me prettiest songs I've ever heard and 'Dear John' is able to make any grown up cry.… Expand

    This has to be Taylor second best lyrical album right after RED. This album sounds like a complete fairytale but in an amazing sort of way.

    Definitely the most underrated album of Taylor Swift.It is completely self written which means there were no co-writers on the entire album. The lyrics are so well written. Taylor shows that her biggest strength is her songwriting ability. I love the album❤️

    El álbum en el que Taylor Swift demostró por qué es la mejor compositora de la centuria. Impresionado. Un álbum autoescrito que no tiene ni un solo skip. Taylor, lo volviste a hacer.

    Even in their overwork, however, they evince an effort that bears a remarkable resemblance to care‑-that is, to caring in the best, broadest, and most emotional sense.

    While Taylor turns her wrath on a woman who steals her man on "Better Than Revenge," she turns that critical eye on herself in "Back to December," a thorough apology to a former lover she regrets having left behind. Other tunes, such as "Mean" and "Sparks Fly," suffer from generic and sometimes underdeveloped lyrics.

    Because of the buzz behind it, Speak Now was destined to be a commercial success no matter what. Thankfully, the album succeeds on an artistic level as well.
