Too lazy to do a proper review for this, but just want to say how much I love this album. Taylor Swift is like Marmite I think, and I'm at the right end of the two extremes. Her songs are so so clever, and she's so so emotional! There aren't many experiences with music as good as this. My favourite songs are Enchanted, Dear John and Mean. Give them a listen.
It's nice to listen to music like Taylor's in between the Kanye's, the Cee-Los and the rest. Just soft, easy listening, but thoughtful listening.
I always find that my favourite albums of all time I've taken with me to a trip somewhere, #1 is probably Brandy-Afrodisaic and I took that to York in Year 6, then Taylor Swift's Fearless to Germany last year and Mariah Carey E=MC on the same trip. I think I now have the same relationship with this album, I took it with me for four days in France, and I had a dock in my room there, so at night I'd just blast this till I got to sleep.
I wish more people would give her a chance, but it's not the sort of music everyone will like, as I said, hit or miss. But if you like music that's emotionally charged, then Taylor's ya gal!
What i said on first listen -
She connects on such a personal level, her charm is unquestionable as well as her lyrical and all-round musical prowess. She understand listeners, some really amazing songs on Speak Now, Fearless was GREAT, but this is EVEN better!
