“This new version of Taylor Swift's greatest album is 30 tracks — the original 16-song 'Red' tricked out with B-sides and vault outtakes, all redone with more boom and detail in the production”
“Re-recorded in meticulous detail, along with a dozen songs cut from the 2012 original, Taylor Swift’s most pivotal album has still more to say about growing up and moving forward.”
““I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken,” Taylor Swift wrote in a statement earlier this year, where she revealed that the next album she’d be releasing would be ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’. “It moves forward on a different axis, at a different speed.” First released in October 2012, Swift’s fourth studio album was an honest portrayal of young heartbreak, showcasing”
“Red (Taylor’s Version) is an emotional rollercoaster—in the best way. Taylor brings new life to this already iconic album, and hearing her matured vocals on these songs is honestly everything. The heartbreak hits harder (“All Too Well” still ruins us), the joy feels brighter, and the lyrics somehow feel even more powerful the second time around. The vault tracks are a total gift—“Nothing New” and “Better Man” especially feel like long-lost treasures. And of course, the 10-minute version of All Too Well? Legendary. A cultural reset. A masterpiece. The only reason it’s not a full five stars is that a few re-recorded tracks don’t quite hit the same nostalgic punch as the originals—but that’s expected. Overall, this version is a beautiful reclaiming of her work, and it’s an emotional, powerful journey that every Swiftie should take (again and again).”
“I don’t understand. Literally. It’s pop music. What is the big fuss? How did this end up on a top 100 albums list. It is drivel. Terrible. I couldn’t wait for it to end. There is literally nothing artistically interesting or different about any of this. I can’t believe i listened to the whole thing. I can tell you that i never will listen to it again in its entirety, unless perhaps someone is paying me good money to do so. I realize I’m not a teenage girl and therefore not the target audience — but can someone please explain this to me? Why is she popular? Why is this considered a worth piece of art? I’m throughly confused and almost ill. Yuck… Just Awful!”
