1. Welcome to New York - Well it's exceeded expectations...I expected guitars and there weren't. Only really positive thing I can say about it. I personally feel like there was a lack of breakdowns, autotune, and vocal glitches; will rightfully assume that the whole album will lack these qualities, and that will drag the whole album down. (6.5/10)
2. Blank Space - WHAT KIND OF SMASH?! THIS SOUNDS SO FRESH!!...for 2008. Pretty dated sounding Natasha Bedingfield would do a good job with it methinks. (5/10)
3. Style - Even though I am grading more harshly since this has been hailed as the best thing since sliced bread, I would've gave this song a solid 9...if the whole song was as good as the verses. The chorus ruined it for me. (7.5/10)
4. Out of the Woods - Most uneventful song of the album so far. Left little-to-no impression on me. Will forget what it sounds like by the time the album is done. (5/10)
5. All You Had To Do Was Stay - Can't remember this song enough to give an opinion. (5.5/10)
6. Shake It Off - Legit the best song from this album so far, not that it says much. (8/10) (Being generous here)
7. Bad Blood - This could've been the best song on the album, but her over-pronunciation of words, some nonsensical lines (like the band-aids don't fix bullet holes and still got scars on my back from where you stabbed me - which is it Taylor? Did Katy stab you or shoot you? Keep your metaphors consistent. Katy's writing teas.), and annoying vocal delivery dragged this song down. (7/10)
8. Wildest Dream - It was calming...but extremely forgettable. I actually already forgot how it went. (5.5/10)

9. How You Get The Girl - This is the song everyone is obsessing over? I expected much more from this. (6/10)

@SpaceOddity - And you missed the Platinum Hit signups (which I am judging in this season) I would've told you to join the game. It's a songwriting competition.

I noticed I missed a song Yeesh, guess that says something. I will go back and review it after I finish the album, and I won't give my final score until then!
EDIT: @Luke a positive review is coming up in a few seconds!
It's cool tho.
