Updated the billboard review on metacritic but the score didn't change  I hope with RS it can get to 78.

It looks like written from Taylor Swift fan base here. After the base was closed, he/she had no places to go. So writing for popdust is just an alternative choice.

There are one or two 80s that haven't been added, but no new reviews.

Some great reviews.
It seems that quite often a new album gets reviewed first by the reviewers that they know are likely to give a high score. Then some worse reviews that come later. I'm not expecting the final numbers to improve a lot after this point.

Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’: Country’s Prodigal Daughter Trades In Her Boots and Spurs For Louboutins
The 24-year-old’s latest album is chock full of hits and hands-down the best pop record of the year. Good luck shaking these tunes off.

TAYLOR SWIFT ‘1989’ ALBUM REVIEW: PLENTY OF POP, BUT NOT MUCH PUNCH
Quote:

All in all, 1989 is, ironically, the epitome of a modern pop album. Full of sheen and sparkle and reverence for the ’80s, it dazzles with its brilliance and highs, and meanders in its lows. Swift is a talented pop star, and when she strikes the balance between heartfelt lyricism and addictive pop goodness, she’s more than worth the price of admission. Is it quite the album a lot of us were expecting? Perhaps not. However, given that this is an album that is Swift’s first dip into pure pop, it can be forgiven – particularly when the feeling that Swift has only just begun her journey, is undeniable…

I asked myself: what better way to write about Taylor Swift’s “1989″ than with a Coca Cola and a cat on my lap? The answer is there isn’t.
So what “1989″ leaked (“leaked”) ahead of its October 27 release, it’s projected to be one (if not the only) album to hit a million in sales opening week. We just get to enjoy it a weekend sooner.

In an attempt to stay relevant and keep up with my fellow blogosphere peers, I decided to give the album several listens and jot down my thoughts. Lucky for me there’s a backspace button. I went in mostly skeptical, expecting to hear Taylor Swift’s interpretation of what she THINKS “in” pop music is – hiring power-house producer Max Martin to churn out some epic jams. That she did, that he did, but something unexpected happened…

Taylor Swift’s 1989: A Track-by-Track Breakdown
Roughly 1,989 Words About Taylor Swift's '1989'! A Track-by-Track Guide
By Chris Willman
Quote:
Remember the girl with the teardrops on her guitar? On Taylor Swift's hotly anticipated fifth effort, 1989 — which leaked on the Internet on Friday, despite her label Big Machine's valiant efforts to keep the album under wraps — there are few tears. And even fewer guitars.
She's alternating between sounding ebullient and battle-hardened — a nice combination if you can get it. Anyone who thought Swift played the victim in some of her breakup songs on previous albums will have a hard time finding any evidence of that in this largely un-devastated collection. Even some of the tracks that recall distant or recent heartaches have her sounding almost blithe, with lyrics that show her becoming much more sensible or even hard-boiled about love. Executive producer Max Martin is on board to ensure that even tracks that read like tender confessionals in the lyric booklet into huge, anthemic singalongs that make massive use of pre-EDM electronics.
