Miley 5,006 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Over-rated or not.. this album just outsold PRISM and ARTPOP's first week sales COMBINED in less than 24 hours with 600k sales. +1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptune 156 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Apart from songs like Shake it off/All you had to do was stay, which are good but lower the album's quality, the album is flawless. Her vocals are good, the production is well done, and the album is based on 80s pop as she promised. This album is better than a lot of albums. This is the best album released this year, along with BANKS' "Goddess" and Lana Del Rey's "Ultraviolence", wth Tinashe's "Aquarius" coming really close behind. The album is also than Bangerz, Prism, ARTPOP, and is as good as Pure Heroine. You make it seem like a very successful album can't be praised. EDIT: and compared to her discog: Speak Now=1989>Red>Fearless>Taylor Swift x2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born Brave 2,072 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Obviously successful albums can be praised. But this album is just not that great lyrically, vocally, and or musically. The 80s sounds are mostly just tucked on to Lorde's/Fun type of songs. Pure Heroine is not that great either. And I only think this album is better than Bangerz and Prism. Look im sorry but maybe some people (obviously more people) find lyrics like "So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players And you love the game" More appealing than: When you touch me I die Just a little inside I wonder if this could be love This could be love Cuz you’re out of this world Galaxy, space and time I wonder if this could be love Venus Have an oyster, baby It’s Aphrod-isy Act sleazy Venus Worship to the land A girl from the planet (to the planet) Venus I used both track #2 from ARTPOP and 1989, Venus and Blank Space. The chorus to Venus is so short I had to include the 2nd verse. Now hearing it is one thing but people perceive music in different ways.. If you were to match ARTPOP up word for word next to 1989, 1989 would have utilized more words and more content, yet you say it's not on par? Sorry but I had to go there.

Brandon 457 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Everything is so good. Even the bonus tracks are better than 2 standard songs. I only don't really like Blank Space, Shake It Off, This Love and Clean. The rest is so great and on repeat to much. :giveup: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope 2,030 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Look im sorry but maybe some people (obviously more people) find lyrics like "So it's gonna be forever Or it's gonna go down in flames You can tell me when it's over If the high was worth the pain Got a long list of ex-lovers They'll tell you I'm insane 'Cause you know I love the players And you love the game" More appealing than: When you touch me I die Just a little inside I wonder if this could be love This could be love Cuz you’re out of this world Galaxy, space and time I wonder if this could be love Venus Have an oyster, baby It’s Aphrod-isy Act sleazy Venus Worship to the land A girl from the planet (to the planet) Venus I used both track #2 from ARTPOP and 1989, Venus and Blank Space.

Quark 7,098 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I agree on the last thing you said. Is kind of hard to compare albums to other albums simply because all albums are technically "unique". But we just try to compare albums to other albums that might be similar or in the same category. Is just human nature to compare things. I agree with this part. Comparing it to Thriller wasn't smart. In fact, comparing an album to another album isn't smart either, because every album is unique in its own way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spock 20,290 Posted October 30, 2014 Author Share Posted October 30, 2014 Yeah it sold because it's overrated No. It sold because of the promotional campaign she has had and because word of mouth is extremely positive. No Taylor album has been overrated since Fearless (which wasn't even truly overrated) All those reciepts about her selling 600k and 1M in the first week only matters to the internet/pop forum stans. The GP who buys albums doesn't care about that. It sold because Taylor is a brand and her brand means quality. No go seethe to another place. who will love me when the night is over Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gomstre 2 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 First you need to compare the masterpiece, ARTPOP vs generic 1989. The results tell the truth. ARTPOP isn't generic and Selena Gomez is the Queen of Pop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHANTEL 2 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 And I have an opinion on your opinion. And I think it's ridiculous and you have no idea what you're talking about. get. over. it apparently, having an opinion is ridiculous. And your stating yours as a fact. I'm sorry but I'm quite sure that I'm able to think whatever way I want. You look stupid by trying to look as if you were so superior And yes, that's a fact.

Taylor's more known in the general world for how she dates every guy that is popular at the time. Her music takes second place. She had like two or three actual hits off her last album. Like one #1.
