Been listening to RED the album all day, & it would be sooooooooooooo much better than 1989 if only she removed:
- Stay Stay Stay (flawless song, but even though it is a bop, seems completely boring & immediate loss of adrenaline after WANEGBT. Make it a bonus track & get rid of Girl At Home)
- The Last Time (BORING, flop song, unnecessary feature)
- 22. A nice bop, but having numbers as titles is so immature & Miley Cyrus-esque
WANEGBT flowing immediately onto Holy Ground works SPECTACULARLY. I skip Stay Stay Stay & The Last Time every time.
So, in summary, Red would've DESERVED AOTY & maybe won, if this was the tracklist:
1. State of Grace
2. Red
3. Treacherous
4. I Knew You Were Trouble
5. All Too Well
6. I Almost Do
7. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
8. Holy Ground
9. Sad Beautiful Tragic
10. The Lucky One
11. Everything Has Changed
12. Starlight
13. Begin Again
And what an incredible album it would've been.
