Is 1989 Good because its a country artist taking a stab at pop, or is it really a innovative and fresh pop album that can compete with Prism, Unapalogetic, and Bangerz?

Its not innovative or fresh but its still a good pop album with great production and lyrics (unlike Prism, Una and others which are not that cohesive and are below this)

I mean, all Top 40 pop is the same tbh. It's all produced and written by the same incestuous group. Taylor's latest efforts are interchangeable between most pop girls. At least with country, she had her own style and sound. Now she's another Max Martin girl.

It definitely competes with Prism, Una' and Bangerz, they're all ****.

it's generic

Yes.

yes but don't drag down bridgit with that mess

The production blends together sometimes, but her lyrics are still say better than the other girls' albums.

It's funny there's better pop on RED (a country-pop record) than 1989 (a pop record)

No, she really did a great job. Her main goal was to channel 80's pop music and it worked for her.
But I think her voice isn't for this kind of music.. Anything else but this, honestly.

I think she added her touch to all the songs i've heard so far, lyrically at least. But it all sounds very top 40. I do think the quality is higher than say... Katy Perry's Prism (which I use), but yeah.

Y'all are tasteless.

The reason Taylor will always be in her own league is because how pop her **** may sound, her lyrics are always on point and it's not generic pop made for radio. It's talented pop.

Not even i'd say RED was because of the EDM this is Taylors own unique Style and its so good

Im conflicted, its sounds like a more innovative version of Prism...but that could just be because Prism is older and 1989 could just be following the current trends. Someone with a good musical ear please break it down for me!

Yeah SIO is trash, dunno why she released that first.

Isn't top 40 a dutch thing

Wildest Dreams > Bangerz

Bangerz sucks and I don't understand why so many people praise it
