it's amazing how people like gaga, britney and katy tried to dress up their albums behind marketing white noise by calling them 'spiritual', 'personal' and 'artistic', and yet Taylor swooped in unabashedly labelling her album as nothing more than 'pop' - the bane of the critic's existence - and yet she's emerged on top critically
So far, average score of a pub vs. the 1989 score:
Above Pretty Much Amazing: 72 and 91
Sputnik: 69 and 86
Absolute Punk: 81 and 85
AV Club: 73 and 83
Observer: 63 and 80
Rolling Stone: 64 and 80
BB: 77 and 80
Guardian: 68 and 80
Telegraph: 74 and 80
NYT: 69 and 80
NME: 67 and 70
Slant: 63 and 70
Below EW: 77 and 75
All Music: 73 and 60
Independent: 66 and 60
NYDN: 67 and 60
Boston Globe: 71 and 50
LAT: 71 and 50
So Boston Globe and LAT gave it scores over 20 points lower than their usual score because they are too busy giving KT scores above their average, but pubs that gave it scores 10+ points above their usual score are Pretty Much Amazing, Sputnik, AV Club, Observer, Rolling Stone, Guardian, New York Times.
James Reed and MIKAEL WOOD can go away now.
I see some people here complaining about KT's reviews instead of 1989 everytime, the flamebait is getting too far. You guys should be concerned with the review of the album in question, not how much the critic scored a KT album and if it's deserved or not. The 1989 score will be fine.
