Maddey Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I couldn’t hear much difference between the original Love story and the re recorded one, although there’s no doubt that her voice has matured and has more depth to it now. I don’t really want to admit it but I still sort of prefer the original? My first thought is that the fragility(?) of her younger voice fits the song better. But maybe it’s just due to nostalgia, idk. Nicely done anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maybe it’s just due to nostalgia, idk. Nicely done anyway! Yeah it's hard to say. They are very similar, but like you said the OG may seem a bit better due to nostalgia and the amount of times you've heard it. There are some touches to the rerecording that improve on the OG as well so it works both ways. Do I prefer the original enough to search it out over this version? Definitely not, which will be the metric of success for all of this. Will be interesting to see how this plays out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I jumped on the bandwagon with 1989 though. I still haven't listened to much pre-Red. Yeah, pretty much same, first time I heard her was on the Boys Like Girls song in 2009 but didn't even think about who it was. Then the hits started on the radio with red and that's when I started to give a fuck. After that there's basically only reputation that I don't like of her albums. Lover wasn't amazing but got some really good songs on there, I especially like her duett with Urie on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lover as a whole wasn't her best, but it does have some good songs and it led to Folklore which is her best. I didn't like Reputation so much when it came out, but I really like it now. And the tour for Reputation was incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient #48273 Posted February 12, 2021 Report Share Posted February 12, 2021 I still prefer folklore, but evermore is solid. I'm tired of the Bon Iver collaborations though. I skip over exile when it comes on these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't help but picture a neckbeard type guy and it takes me out of the song. I'm about ready to start listening to Evermore. I've been on a Phoebe Bridgers side quest I'm finishing up 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted March 2, 2021 Report Share Posted March 2, 2021 i'm on Red now. i liked Speak Now but it was a bit bloated, a few songs could've been left on the cutting room floor. i'm enjoying Red too, and i can definitely understand why it's considered her transition album, because musically it's a bit all over the place. my ambivalence toward most of the poppier songs (besides We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, what a bop lmao) tells me i might end up as someone who prefers the pop country Taylor over the straight-up pop Taylor. we'll see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nasa Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 i've finished my listen-through of 1989. Full-on pop fits TSwift like a glove most of the time. The overall album quality was more uneven though, like Red. for every "Wildest Dreams" there's also a "Bad Blood," haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddey Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 1989 is such a nice album. Not sure if I like that or Folklore the most Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, I find the "a-ha" part annoying in the chorus..and the line about "tall and handsome as hell" bad boy stuff is pretty gross.
