I bought this cause Ive always love Taylor I didnt LOVE this Cd as much as all the ones before this one but I DID like it. YOu could start to see her music style change a little bit. But it did have a few songs that I REALLY Loved my fave was Back to December! OF the top of my head I can not recall the others but there were I think in aoll 4 or 5 songs I really liked. The rest I did not really care for I cant say I disliked them THey just were NOT the Taylor Swift I had grown used to over the years and you could tell she was starting to change her style and I do not like her music at all anymore :( She's totally lost her Roots and gone Pop she should have stayed true to her Roots she let alot of her original fans down now shes got a younger audience she lost alot I think anyways of the people that started out with her back when she started back in the day with Tim McGraw still a fave. Wish she'd go back to her ROOTS! I'd be a fan again in a heartbeat! In the meantime she lost a longtime fan in me! I think she sold out...Vollständige Rezension lesen
Anything by Taylor Swift is probably a safe bet to buy. By the time this album came out her music was starting to change more to the pop side. I LOVED her earlier albums, especially the first one. But I will still buy more no doubt - because even liking one song on a new album will justify the expense.

Solid album from Taylor Swift. Good songs all around, probably the last album that had any of the classic T Swifty sound to it. Good album for fans of country or pop, nice blend here. I personally prefer her early stuff, but whether you like her earlier, or later music, you won't be disappointed with this CD.

She makes this confession -- hardly the flashiest on her new album, “Speak Now,” but possibly the most revealing -- in “Never Grow Up,” a kind of answer song to Brad Paisley’s 2007 country chart-topper “Letter to Me.” Both songs are gentle tearjerkers related by a narrator digging up undervalued memories. Paisley moves forward by offering reassurance to the gawky adolescent he once was. Swift, nearly 21, longingly looks back: “I could still be little,” she sings, teeth clenched. Swift knows that she’s lying to herself. She is one of the world’s biggest pop stars, one of the few probably still able to sell a million albums in a week. Many say the fate of the conventional music industry rests on her often artfully displayed white shoulders. Yet her impossible commitment to staying little is the key to Swift’s success. Her third album, “Speak Now,” is meant to be a masterpiece of major declarations -- two-thirds of it recounts broken love affairs with fairly identifiable fellow celebrities, and she offers glimpses that finally confirm she’s not a princess, but a modern young woman who stashes clothes for the morning at her boyfriend’s place and isn’t above calling a rival a mattress gymnast. Swift is naming names during the media cycle accompanying this release -– the guitarist John “The Player” Mayer is the cradle-robber in “Dear John,” Taylor Lautner the lost prince of “Back to December” -- but the gossip surrounding the music is much less interesting than the maturation of her sound. The musical range of "Speak Now" expands beyond country-pop to border both alternative rock and the dirty bubblegum pop promulgated by such producers as Lukasz “Dr. Luke” Gottwald. Little spoken asides pepper some songs, signifying hipness; on others, Swift lays claim to several genres’ worth of signatures, from the lush strings of Céline-style kitsch-pop to Americana banjo to countrypolitan electric guitar. She surveys this wide ground without bluster; she never poses. Conquering new territory, she acts like it’s simply what’s expected of her. Swift, who wrote all the songs herself, does push one thing: her voice. She belts out the climaxes of songs like the romantic nightmare “Haunted” and the snot-punk catfight “Better Than Revenge”; on “Dear John,” her hate letter to Mayer, she opens up her throat so wide that she almost yells. If her voice has been manipulated by in-studio producer Nathan Chapman, he’s done a good job masking it. At any rate, Swift always returns to her defining vocal gesture -- the line that slides down like a contented sigh or up like a raised eyebrow, giving her beloved girl-time hits their air of easy intimacy. This companionable attention to detail is Swift’s strongest point. Like Paisley, she makes memorable music by homing in on the tiny stuff: the half-notes in a hummed phrase, the lyrical images that communicate precisely what it’s like to feel uncomfortable, or disappointed, or happy. Her fans are 100% there with her, as she’s fidgeting with her clothes while an ex holds forth across the room at a party; or relishing the first time a new beau shakes her dad’s hand; or switching on that night light and tucking herself in. Focusing on these moments, Swift manages to be there with her fans too -– so often does she hit on common experiences that feel unique. Much of mainstream pop music now sounds like advertising jingles and football chants, with melodic earworms the size of tapeworms and itchily irresistible beats. OutragVollständige Rezension lesen
There's no title that could suit best this album. "Speak Now" is, once again, Taylor speaking her mind out of her own words, beautifully and well put. Amazing how someone can provide a third album which is so in line with the other two previous releases under a great deal of aspects and yet manages to be so pleasant and refreshing. Call it consistency. All songs, regardless of the mood each one has, are country flavored and absent of country themed lyrics, which is nothing new in terms of Taylor Swift. The matters of the heart speak louder and are the main subject in most of the songs. Some of the struggles are sung with some bitterness, and others with an impressive head-on attitude. Surely, variety is here. In previous reviews of other albums, I said that one single listen enough for me to know if the album is good and worthwhile, if it deserves a second chance or it is definitely a throw-off. After listening to it only once, the conclusion is: Speak now and keep speaking for a while, because this voice sounds good.Vollständige Rezension lesen
