I think they are in all copies! Digital copies have them at the end of the booklet and I don't think that this is only a Target thing in the US so it should be in standard and deluxe? But maybe a US peep can confirm!

And there are 5 sets of 13 polaroids :)

Thanks :hug:

Can't wait to get my copy! :party:

This is the album Lady Gaga should have made if Gaga had any real talent. Instead, Gaga is going the way of Honey Boo Boo :)~

This is the album Lady Gaga and everyone else already made....5 years ago.

The problem with this album is, it doesn't sound like the 80s, like they claimed to be going for. It sounds like everything her contemporaries has done before her. I heard shades of Lana, Gaga, Katy, Selena G..One song even sounds like Natasha Bedingfield. I can understand some artists want to experiment and branch out (remember Jewel, and 0304? lol), but this sounds more like a corporate sell-out, and you can't get any more corporate or selling out than working with Max Martin.

 

But once again a corporate sell out argument doesn't work here. Selling out for what? A past album that sold six million overall and 1.2 million first week? Her last album getting a #1 and #2 hit? A tour that grossed 150 million? She simply made a full pop album because she felt like it, nothing more nothing less. Her label actually begged her to make a few country-ish songs for the album but she didn't want to.

Take a moment to think of just flexibility, love, and trust~

I had listened to a couple of songs, not the whole thing. But I was sure it was good because Slaylor never fails :whitney:

I bought it today and I'm jamming so hard!

Did you find it in stores??

Yes I found it ! I was so nervous this morning. The store wasn't even open when I arrived haha. 

 

I got polaroids #40 #52... She's so pretty on the pics :giveup:

 

Ok so here's my review.

When she announced 1989 was a full-on pop album, I was extremely scared not to like it. My favorite album from Taylor has always been Speak Now, so yeah, not very pop tbh. But when she released Shake It Off, Out Of The Woods and Welcome To New York, I was pleasantly surprised and started to stan for PopTayTay. 

I was shaking so much last week, from excitement. And this sneaky woman would give us song lyrics on Instagram... Ugh, nice way to torture me Taylor, thanks... 

But the album leaked and people started posting reviews saying how much they loved it or hated it (wtf people ??), and since I refuse to listen to leaks, it was even more like torture. 

 

Today, I finally got to listen to what I proudly say is a pop masterpiece. It's the first time in my life I can't choose my favorite song on a album. Every single song is amazing and unique, with great lyrics (which was expected). I can't say if I love 1989 more than Speak Now, it's too soon to tell but honestly, I didn't expect to love it that much. 

And it actually sounds like a Taylor album, even if the style is very different from her previous albums. 

 

I can't stop dancing to it like crazy and singing along... If you have the deluxe version, than listen to New Romantics, it's my new anthem tbh. And the voice memos are very interesting to listen to. I love it when Taylor explains her songwriting process !

 

I love this album SO SO MUCH.

i downloaded the leak and im not a taylor fan in any way. I like pry 2 songs over her career, but dont pay attention to her. However, that has changed. This is my favorite album in a long time. Think its sooooooooooooo good lol lots of the songs take 2-3 listens and you will be come obsessed

it will sell millions but to these ears on first play it's boring generic euro pop that could be almost anyone , auto-tuned up to it;s eye balls and completely lacking the brilliance of Red and Speak Now. There are a handful of good tracks in this but overall not for me

nothing memorable, nothing groundbreaking

 

i only like Style

Taylor is unstoppable. She's what Katy wants to be, and if Katy would stop trying to be Gaga for just a minute she might be able to still become it. Taylor has successfully captured the crown of preteen princess and she's done it flawlessly. Taylor doesn't use controversy or questionable imagery, she let's her writing and music do the talking. Her 7 Grammys at her age is mind blowing. IMO she's just as talented as Gaga. 

 

1989 is a perfect pop album. Period. I think most of the people on here bashing it fear for Gaga and feel like it's their duty to try to make it out to be a poor album but let's be honest... it's a great piece of work that's going to be around for a while. 

I agree, minus that she is as talented as gaga. I think song-writing wise she is, but vocally... no. lol she has a very tiny vocal range and is not a great singer, while gaga has one of the best voices in the business. BUT I have become a taylor fan and love the album

Two words: insipid and derivative.

If she wanted to out-Katy, should have got Bonnie McKee to inject some spunk.

 

Taylor is such a conventional girl, and we need more songs that are catchy dance rather than mid-tempo radio.

I literally don't get it :smh: I tried to get into the songs, I really did. Some of them have nice instrumentals but as with her previous albums its just obviously pandering towards its target audience with no creativity or heart in it. 3/10
