Welcome To New York: A catchy, no question; but here I miss sophisticated lyrics. The entire chorus consists only of this one line; Taylor has often shown us that they do not actually at that mass pop artists heard the always sing the same monotonous into the microphone.
Blank Space: At first I considered the song critical now he likes very much. Again with catchy warranty, nice lyrics and vocal varies Taylor will also find a little bit more.
Style: Honestly a rather boring song. Although very nice lyrics, but the Popgedudel stands out in my opinion, not particularly from the rest. Because somehow lacks that certain something.
Out Of The Woods: At first I thought: Again a rather monotonous one-line chorus; But in the song it does not bother me, because he has a total of beautiful lyrics and Taylor is vocally more here. The song has that certain "Taylor-something". One of my favorite songs from the album.
All You Had To Do What Stay Come one that does not sound familiar? 2012 Red: "Stay Stay Stay" ... Sure, the lyrics are different, but I think the song is not particularly imaginative. Vocally shows here Taylor also nothing and relies on monotonous lyrics.
Shake It Off: The first single; a real ear worm. A cheerful, happy song with catchy lyrics. I like the song very much like, but unlike all their other singles, the song is also rather later, in my opinion.
I Wish You Would: Similar to "All You Had To Do What Stay" and "Style": Convinced rather not so much variety and ingenuity. These are the kind of songs I eventually do not want to listen to me because they get on my nerves.
Bad Blood: This song stands out from the others. In my opinion, he has better lyrics and Taylor shows again vocally a little more.
Wildest Dreams: Another song that stands out clearly from the others and just from its predecessor "Bad Blood"; the first ballad even song. At first listen, I somehow reminds me of Lana Del Rey, because the song has a bit of the same Depri mood. But thankfully just a bit. "Wildest Dreams" SHINY with beautiful lyrics and a little more variety.
How You Get The Girl: Similar division as "I Wish You Would" etc .; I think again monotonous, unnecessary trimmed to Pop tooting. The lyrics I find quite nice, but the trappings like it less.
This Love: Finally a ballad that I expected always eagerly on the album; not for nothing that Taylor is the queen of ballads. Although this has me here rather less like; rather monotonous lyrics and less variety than expected.
I Know Places: My favorite song on the album. Ingenious lyrics, good chorus, vocal variety and an extreme catchy. Not only Popgedudel, special 1A a Taylor Swift song.
Clean: A very nice ballad that I think is clearly towards "This Love" highlight. Typical and beloved interpretation enabled Lyrics, vocal, unlike most of the songs on this album. Also clearly one of the best songs of the plate.
Wonderland (on the Deluxe Edition): I love songs that have to do with Alice in Wonderland! Great lyrics, but the song was in my opinion very well trimmed a bit to pop. Nevertheless, a great song that is not so monotonous.
You Are In Love: A beautiful ballad. Very quiet, but with beautiful lyrics. Definitely also one of the better song by "1989".
New Romantics: Honestly I hardly like the song. I find it quite monotonous, almost annoying, no idea why, maybe because it is a totally unnecessary trimmed on pop song with weak lyrics again.
Overall, the first album of Taylor Swift, which I can not give five stars. For this plan are too many pretty boring and almost loose expressive songs. Some shine through the typical "Taylor-Swift-something".
I particularly voice lacks the album Taylor in all its variations. Vocal acrobatics as in Haunted, one of my favorite songs of Taylor, theoretically completely missing here.
And influences from the eighties are not really sure. They said yes, that Taylor has dealt with the music of their birth year and has therefore also named this album so, but these influences can be found not on the album! The pop songs then consist of electric tooting and nothing else.
Of course, Taylor has met with this pop mainstream exactly the masses and returns incredible sales figures - and probably again one or two price - a. I would hope anyway that Taylor again a bit coming from the mainstream track down and consistently makes their own thing.
