    this version is much nicer with clearer sounds, instrumentals that fit, i believe this is taylor's best re-recording to date, plus the tracks from the vault are nostalgic and feel like they belong on the original album

    En su último hit, “Karma”, Taylor Swift menciona una frase que reza “Pregúntate porqué mientras otros se desvanecen yo sigo aquí”, y este disco es una muestra de ello.

    Con ciertos cambios de letra y producción, las canciones de este disco (cuya primera versión data de hace más de una década) sostienen una atemporalidad que muy pocos artistas logran en toda su carrera.

    Desde la tierna “Sparks fly” hasta la desgarradora “Last kiss”, el álbum se desenvuelve entre grandes frases que han acompañado a toda una generación de jóvenes y que llega en su versión actualizada para hacer lo propio con la gente de los nuevos tiempos.

    Sobre las joyitas del baúl, mi favorita es “Castles crumbling”, que bien podría ser la antesala
    perfecta para el tan esperada “Reputation (Taylor’s version)”.

    One of my favorite album of hers and hearing it with her matured vocals is such a treat. The vault songs further shows Swift's skill in writing and storytelling with songs like When Emma Falls in Love, Timeless and Foolish One.

    This album is the best release of the year.

    This is the 3rd re-recording that Taylor Swift has released, in the process of reclaiming her masters, and is definitely the most challenging one.

    A collection of songs, which each captures a very specific feeling, most of which she felt while she was only a teenager, being welcomed into huge stardom.
    This album takes you into a roller-coater of emotions, from the punk-rock, high-school style "The Story Of Us" to the delicate, extremely saddening "Last Kiss".
    Taylor doesn't fail to perfectly copy the original's intensity, only now she's a lot more mature, and much more confident in sharing her story, and it shows.
    Long story short - she succeeds the challenge, and delivers an even better, enhanced version of the '2010's classic, with great vocal performances, and 6 new refreshing "(From The Vault)" tracks, to complete the arc of the story.

    The production is surprising and fun, while staying very true to the originals.
    Christopher Rowe once again did an amazing job recreating the old loved tunes.
    Jack Anotonoff and Aaron Dessner gave life to the new 'Vault' tracks, both did an astonishing work in terms of creativity, and gave the album an edge that we all didn't know we so desperately needed. Mixing and finishing is top-tier level, all collaborators did an amazing job on the record.

    Amazing work, Taylor, and all the great people who were invested in creating this masterpiece.

    Favorite Tracks: "Sparks Fly", "Back to December", "Dear John", "Enchanted", "Better than Revenge", "Last Kiss", "Electric Touch" (featuring Fall Out Boy), "When Emma Falls in Love", "I Can See You", "Timeless" .

    This truly is, the best thing to ever been hers.
