Speak Now: A Taylor Swift album review

Dec 19, 2010 by Fretziez
imageEarlier today, I ranted about being lonely online and how awesome Taylor Swift is. Here is an actual review on my thoughts and personal opinion on her newest album, Speak Now.

Okay, we all know Taylor has a lot to say about love. We've all heard her hits explaining being a Juliet in distress, or longing for guy who's girlfriend is ten times hotter than you, in her case; a brunette version of herself, but she definitely opens her diary even more on the newest pages that she has just written: Speak Now.

Taylor just turned 21 and she sweet-talks and woos you with heart-filled verses and tongue-twisting refrains. She hits every pretty note with ingenuity on this album, but everyone knows she can sing. She sings about that same boy who broke her heart, but all of us know her well enough to memorize the description of this boy. The thing that made this record special is; she dove deeper into every single one of those pages.

Writing each and every track, Taylor definitely has her heart on her shoulder and you hear it beating here on her album. Each track is very mushy and lovable in its own way. Some stand out the most, tracks like the gigantic 'Mine', the regretful 'Back to December', the outspoken 'Speak Now', and 'Haunted'. Every tack is well-written and interesting, but they are all very even. Choruses have different melodies, different hooks yet they sound the same.

She is great, plausible, and irresistible to love but Taylor just fails to give out something concretely fresh enough to the table. She still sings of boys and boys and boys. She's still the prom queen of country and pop, but she needs to show more diversity in her music.

Overall, she is astounding to me so I can definitely tell you to buy this album. She will sell, yes she will. She sound the same? Yeah, but we still love her. I still love her. She overcomes these few tumbles through brilliance and sass and brings to us: Speak Now.
