    There's evolution with purpose in every fiber 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.

    Muchos piensan que por las ventas este ha sido el mejor álbum de Taylor, pero creo que solamente los singles y otras 2 canciones son lo único bueno que trajo este disco.

    There is a reason this is the most awarded pop album in history. Taylor manages to put together a beautiful collection of pop perfection. Entertaining and fresh sounding, with the exception of bad blood and how you get the girl, any one of the songs could be a single/hit.

Besides the singles, she had amazing album tracks that were reminiscent of 80’s bangers and all seemed to flow beautifully. The closing track, Clean, is one of her most important and best songs she’s ever made. And the deluxe version was an extra bonus of three beautifully written and produced songs.… Expand

Then Ryan Adams recorded and actually released a track back track cover of the album. This stoked my interest even further and I decided it had to be checked out. Yes it has sugar coated production dripping from every pore but when you break the songs down into their components, these are top notch as pop music goes. The vocal performance and the production work is of the highest quality and is especially noticeable when played through a good quality sound system rather than tinny earphones. The singles lifted from the album are the highlights and one fault I would pick out of the album is that is could arguably be a leaner beast but I have to say that overall, "1989" is one of my favourite albums of the year. Put your hipster attitude to the side and let yourself have some fun and listen to this. You might just enjoy it.… Expand

    Swift proved with this masterwork that not only could she do pop, but that she could do pop better than her contemporaries. From start to finish, the album raised the bar for pop music in the subsequent years, and proved that Swift’s experimentation (and risk-taking) had truly paid off.

    1989 is a great record, productions and lyrics on point, really do deserve all the attention. The only thing putting it behind Taylor's previous albums is that everything on it feels like it's getting old too fast, but it's understandable that's the risk of making a pop record these days. This Love is so amazing.

    Taylor Swift creates a flawless pop album with 1989. It has a fresh sound and has set the bar high for whats to come from other artists in 2015. The album doesn't have any "filler tracks" and hits its highest points with tracks "Bad Blood", "Blank Space", "Wildest Dreams" and "Clean". Excellent album for people who even moderately enjoy pop music.

    Now people are going to really believe Taylor do write songs, because songwriters probably could not make a living on producing these poor quality songs.

    Starting with "Welcome to New York" Taylor has a great, yet lowkey annoying album opener. The production is cute, but it's definetly not one of the better songs on the album. Number 1 smash hit single "Blank Space" follows, which is definetly one of the greatest tracks on the record. The song is incredibly catchy and well written. It proofs why Taylor is the new queen of pop. The best song on the record, the third single "Style" follows. It has the most flawless production on the album, flirty dark Lana Del Rey like lyrics make the song THE standout track of the album and maybe even the best song in her career. Other highlights of the album include "All You Had to Do Was Stay", "Wildest Dreams", "How You Get the Girl" and "New Romantics". The only song that makes me rate the album with 9/10 are "Shake It Off" which is literally a disgrace, also songs like "This Love", "Clean" and "You are in Love" which are definetly cute and really good still can't hold the greatness of the other tracks.

    Taylor Swift va saber fer aquest àlbum amb ritmes dels 80, però amb la influència musical actual, va assolir molts mèrits i fou un gran canvi d'un gènere a altre que a molts artistes els costaria.

    Rainha ! Álbum incrível , excelentes composições sendo que ela tem 100% de participação em todas as suas músicas . O mais impressionante é o modo como ela saiu do country e foi para o pop sem deixar vestígios assim a Taylor se reinventou e foi aclamada pela mídia , a cada dia que se passa me impressiono mas com ela .

    This is the first Taylor Swift album that is completely pop. Taylor Swift is a very talented woman that makes, in this album, enjoyable tracks that someone can easily share with their friends. 1989 is good album, but it isn't anything outstanding and, personally, It was disappointing that it won a Grammy for Album of the Year. But, anyway, good luck to Taylor Swift in the future of her career.

    I loved this album, but at the same time it was quite underwhelming. The thing is I fell in love with each one of the singles when they came out, and those feelings have just gotten stronger over the years. The other songs though... They defenitely land, but there's no new song I'm coming back to. 1989 is often OK good, sounding a little impersonal, but it's astoundingly perfect at times.

    with her first strictly pop album, i was not disappointed by taylor swift. she had some really strong hooks and catchy instrumentals. her lyrics stayed within the same range she has always had, not exactly shallow but not deep either. she had some really nice songs(wildest dreams) and some stupid ones(shake it off). i get why this made swift the monumental figure she is today

    Taylor Swift is a performer that I vehemently refused to listen to, but due to the inclusion of her 2015 album ‘1989’ in the book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die (and my wish to listen to all of them) I had no choice but to pop it on my iPod.

    Honestly? It wasn’t so bad. Opener ‘Welcome to New York’ takes a few listens to properly get into, but it’s definitely a song which feels weaker than the rest since it doesn’t really go anywhere. This is immediately followed by my personal favourite ‘Blank Space’ – a splendid piece of self-depreciation on Swift’s well reported romances, and if there’s one thing I appreciate in an artist it’s the ability to not take themselves too seriously. ‘Out of the Woods’ is the best song on the record, in fact it’s the only song on the album that I feel could have actually come out of 1989, whilst ‘Wildest Dreams’ and closer ‘Clean’ are two of the slower tracks (also the only ones that avoid suffering from overproduction – more on that later). ‘Bad Blood’ is, lyrically at least, the worst song on the record. Check out the version released as a single featuring Kendrick Lamar – his cameo alone makes the song so much better.

    The biggest issue I have is the overproduction of the record; I’m aware that this is a modern pop record, but they could hold back at least (‘This Love’ is a prime example, starting off as a stripped down ballad but then employs an unnecessary synth line in there – had it been performed with some restraint and not in the style of something akin to dubstep I wouldn’t have minded).

    So what can I say? It’s an album I had low expectations for but it surprised me, I enjoyed it far more than I should have but I still have issues with it. Did it deserve to beat Kendrick Lamar at the Grammys? Did it deserve a place in 1001 Albums over To Pimp A Butterfly? No, I think my life would have been the same even without listening to this. But hey, at least it was fun.    … Expand

    “1989” apresenta o notável afastamento dos trabalhos anteriores da cantora, trocando as influências country por synthpop, pop alternativo e o bubblegum pop. Taylor descreve o álbum como o seu “renascimento”, por isso resolveu chamá-lo de ‘’1989’’, pois foi o ano que nasceu e também pela influência do pop do final dos anos 80 em boa parte do disco. Liricamente, Taylor manteve a qualidade dos trabalhos anteriores, porém mostrando amadurecimento ao escrever sobre uma nova fase de sua vida, cantando sobre temas como autodescoberta, liberdade, o assédio da mídia e, é claro, amor. Mas diferente dos trabalhos anteriores, neste álbum o tema amor foi abordado com uma nova visão mais realista.

    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.
