At the very least, this is a solid pop album; the only possible justification for giving it less than 4 stars (which literally every person who wrote a negative review did) is a personal dislike for Taylor Swift. Say what you want about Taylor, but the girl knows how to write a catchy song. Aside from a couple of duds, the songs range from good to great, and there are some brilliant moments throughout the album. Taylor Swift's trademark wit and insight, combined with catchy melodies + slick production, make this a very enjoyable album to listen to.… Expand

    I absolutely loved this album. I was already expecting to be good, but not on this level. This is a pop masterpiece.

    Taylor Swift's 1989 it's loyal to pop gender and its melodies are really soft and harmless. Swift has shown great talent in the composition of her songs, but that ain't new. The best music of her album is "New Romantics", that represents really well her type of songs and her purpose in music.

    When Taylor thought about switching to Pop he decided to do it as best as possible and in a big way and as such, he brought us one of the best albums, not only Pop but of the decade and of music in general.

    Swift officially enters Pop with a very interesting album. From the way she plays the choruses and bridges to the new sounds produced by the greats Max Martin & Shellback. This album will make you dance, cheer. The way she writes sarcastically and reflects on love, separation and friendship is surprising. The only stone on that brilliant album is "Bad Blood".

    1989 is a total shift in Taylor's discography, as she goes from country to full on synth-pop and it works out well for her, with almost all her singles being spectacular, with few bumps in the road.

    Best: Blank Space, Shake it off, Style, Wildest Dreams, Clean, Welcome To New York, New Romantics, Wonderland, You Are In Love

    Worst: Bad Blood, This Love

    Taylor's first pop album was where she fit the most and we saw the real Taylor reveling in sad or fun lyrics even irony. Proud of her as in the new pop, we have her generic songs like all most albums and that the evolution is great.

    A successful transition from country to pop, this album is a masterpiece, every sound, every lyric, every arrangement was previously analyzed and Taylor did it, a huge jewel of pop music.

    Some of the lyrics are great, and also some songs. I think some of the songs should be more known, like Clean and I Know Places, they have interesting and good lyrics. I don't really think that there was a "bad song" in this álbum.

    The highs are high with tracks like wildest dreams, blank space, and clean. Tracks like bad blood spoil the otherwise perfect album.

    Album of the decade! She not only captures her emotions in a mainstream sound, but delivers lyrics that don't let down in any way, compared to Speak Now and Red

    A synth-Pop masterpiece. However, to make the song catchy, Taylor gives up her wonderful story writing which appears in RED.

    Полноценный переход в поп-музыку Свифт удается действительно успешно. Работа с Антоноффом и Мартином приносит Тейлор громкие мировые хиты, а качество действительно на уровне.

    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.
