    NO GOOD VOCALS. She is apparently “the music industry” but the music industry needs vocals and good lyrics meanwhile this entire album was generic, basic, lazy, and boring. Notice how she rarely collabs? she’s a horrible artist on songs. She can’t sing, can’t dance, can’t perform, and is the most basic artist I’ve seen. TRASH.

    Tutorial on "how to make a pop album full of bop that age really well with time". Its not her most out of the box album but she is really good on doing songs like this, maybe the best one.

    Coming into this album, I didn't have much expectations. I'm a newly turned Swiftie, so I used to think that this album would be one of her worst. I could not of been any more wrong.

    1989, Taylor's fifth album, is nothing less than a pop masterpiece. I'm not lying when I say that this album is the best pop album, ever. Even 7 years later, I still think think so. It has back to back hits and every single song was a 10/10. The production, the astounding lyrics, everything about it is perfect. I have nothing bad to say. The Deluxe version is worth a listen, the three extra tracks are some of the best tracks. Excited for Taylors Version, which will hopefully be soon.    … Expand

    My favorite album.
    And hard to argue it's not one of her best, if not the best.
    It's criminal it's rated so low!!

    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.

    What stands out more than the production is how consistently solid the album is, and how effective the lyrics and songwriting.

    1989 is full of cliches, but the truth is that we wouldn't expect them to not be present anyway.
