The Line of Best Fit
Oct 29, 2014
"There's evolution with purpose in every fibre of 1989, and far from jettisoning her integrity in this drastic lunge, she's proved in her bold, risky decision that she's got courage in her convictions to pull it off and faith in her fans to accept the new direction." ... Read full review

The Quietus
Dec 1, 2014
"With 1989 she has succeeded in leveraging the most cordial and familiar of pop music outpourings to something that feels like a statement, a work of note and the sinew of some kind of emotional connective tissue–binding tastemakers, rock critics, guys I work with and my 12 year old cousin; irrevocably and unexpectedly." ...

"Taylor Swift may not be challenging societal norms in the same way as Beyoncé, Lady Gaga and my own band CHRIST ALIVE are, but she’s relatable and that counts for a lot. I spent a surprising amount of 1989 rooting for its protagonist and sharing in her triumph." ... Read full review

Los Angeles Times

"1989 is a deeply catchy, sleekly-produced pop record with the slightly juiceless quality of an authorized biography, a would-be tell-all bleached of the detailed insight she’s trained us to expect from her." ... Read full review

I absolutely loved this album. I was already expecting to be good, but not on this level. This is a pop masterpiece. She not only brings a popI absolutely loved this album. I was already expecting to be good, but not on this level. This is a pop masterpiece. She not only brings a pop original, that has nothing to do with this mainstream pop out there, she brings ferocity in her work. The lyrics for this album are good, and it gets even better when you realize that this is a pop record and it's not full of **** lyrics. And it's perfectly produced as well. Her best work ever. Album of the year.

Best ones: Style, Bad Blood, I Know Places, This Love, You Are In Love and New Romantics.… Expand

Apesar de não ser meu favorito, claramente Taylor Swift sabe o que faz. Alcançar o topo dos charts e ter milhões de discos vendidos atualmenteApesar de não ser meu favorito, claramente Taylor Swift sabe o que faz. Alcançar o topo dos charts e ter milhões de discos vendidos atualmente não é uma conquista fácil para artistas POP femininas. Evoluindo dos últimos dois discos, Taylor alcança nível de produção impecável, composições espetaculares como ''Blank Space'' e ''New Romantics'', e demonstra sensibilidade fora de série em faixas como ''Style'' e ''This Love''. Um álbum que rende uma turnê milionária, três singles em primeiro lugar na Billboard e vídeos com bilhões de visualizações não pode ser nada menos do que um álbum nota dez, ainda mais vindo de uma das melhores artistas contemporâneas, e se não a melhor do mundo da música POP.… Expand

1989 of Taylor Swift is a revelation. It deserved to win Album of the Year. My favorite song is New Romantics.

“New Romantics” is a1989 of Taylor Swift is a revelation. It deserved to win Album of the Year. My favorite song is New Romantics.

“New Romantics” is a satirical song discussing how “new romantics” view love and life. It addresses the nonchalant and whimsical nature of the way young adults approach love. Notably, Taylor doesn’t segregate herself from these young adults. Her constant use of personal pronouns such as “we” and “I” indicate that she has also embraced this mindset.

In past albums, Taylor approached love from very extreme stances namely:

Extremely idealistically i.e. “Love Story”
A bitter or angry reponse to breakups i.e “Picture to Burn”
An extremely heartbroken, torn apart stance i.e. “Dear John”

However, this album introduces Taylor’s new mindset and approach towards love. We see her transition through a breakup and making the discovery that love is not a fairytale, and the chances of a happy ending is very unlikely – so it’s better to live life freely and not take relationships too seriously. Notably, the album begins with “Welcome to New York,” which marks the beginning of her transition, and this song, as the last track on the deluxe edition, indicates how she will be heading into the future – free falling.… Expand

This is just a generic pop album with an OK beat and immature lyrics. It is not an upgrade from her old work as I do not see any difference.This is just a generic pop album with an OK beat and immature lyrics. It is not an upgrade from her old work as I do not see any difference. The whole record sounds heavily country influenced but does not stand out in either the pop or country genre.… Expand
