Speak Now



So Speak Now, the full album, is officially out and it is amazing. It exceeded my expectations, and Taylor Swift has outdone herself, yet again. She wrote every single song on the album by herself, which is an amazing feet on it's own. So here's my review of the album. 5/5 will be, in my opinion, the best songs ON THE ALBUM. Just because I rate something below 4/5 doesn't mean it's not a good song, they're all amazing :)
Mine- Catch, cute love story song. You've probably all heard it by now. It was the first single released off of speak now, and it set the tone for the CD. It is one of the CD's few absolute love story songs. Lyrics are amazing, concept amazing, music video, adorable.
Overall, 4/5. (5/5 Being the BEST songs on the CD)
Sparks Fly- Definitive country twang on this song, chorus is very catchy and cute. Love story song about seeing "sparks fly" the first time you meet someone and they brighten your world. Cool use of guitar on this song. Bridge is choppy, cool, definitive bridge.
3/5
Dear John- One of the longer songs on the album. Slower, acoustic song, Lyrics are very thoughtful and creative. You can hear the emotion in her voice when she sings it. Very beautiful song.
5/5
The Story Of Us- Very cool use of country instrumentals in the background. Uplifting song about a break up. Nice to have one of those every once and a while. Very quirky/funny when she says "Next chapter" and "The End"
4/5
Never Grow Up- One of my personal favorites. Song about growing up, and everything that comes with it. Acoustic, almost Lullaby like song. Very beautiful, and very beautiful lyrics.
5/5
Enchanted- A song where not only the vocals and lyrics blow you away, but the instrumentals do to. Very different style for her. Bridge and Chorus are very catchy.
Fun to sing along to.
5/5
Better Than Revenge- Starts of the song by saying "Now go stand in the corner and think about what you did" VERY Clever song. In a way, a Rock-Coutry sound to this song. Very clever/harsh lyrics. Definitely a revenge song :)
4/5
Innocent- Lyrics on this song are phenomenal. Different sounding instrumentals, but very beautiful. Slow song, written about the infamous Kanye West incident at the VMA's last year. Taylor handled this with grace.
5/5
Haunted- Instrumentals- AMAZING powerful song, fiddle/violin parts, very cool. Faster, edegier song.
5/5
Last Kiss- Sad Love song, shows a different side of Taylor's vocals. Very beautiful, piano/acoustic based song. Beautiful lyrics.
4/5
Long Live- Song about the trials and tribulations of making it as far as she has. Amazing song, written about her and her band. Very clever concept.
5/5

That's my review :) If y'all have the CD chime in with your thoughts :)
Until next time...
