Quark 7,098 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. 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.

Paper Planes 340 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 You could have just posted this in the 1989 discussion thread But the record is great. It's just palatable, fun pop music. Not everyone has to write pop songs about being raped and having an addiction to d--gs Taylor is just doing what Katy Perry already does, but better and in a more authentic way. She's a talented girl who has built her own empire. delete it fat Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't make it a fact. Just like people tend to say that my opinion about ARTPOP (that it's Gaga's worst album etc.) isn't a fact, I think the rest of the monsters should realize that their opinions aren't facts either Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7Days 7 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I agree. Out Of The Woods, Style and I Know Places are the only good songs, the rest of the album is pretty boring. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagadisiak 556 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 I used to hate her in the past because i'm not a fan of girl like her . but Red is better musically . We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and i Knew You were in trouble and far superior than 1989 . Où est-tu ma Salope ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neptune 156 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. Interesting quality evaluation. I'll buy it, you convinced me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quark 7,098 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 There is nothing wrong if you like it. There is no such thing as bad taste. But you know the album is definitely overrated when it starts to be compared to an album like thriller. The lyrical content is not that good. Her vocals are nice but not great, and the music is good at times, but for the most part is kind of boring and uninteresting. Please guys... You are perfectly entitled to have your opinion. You don't like this album ? Fine, nothing wrong with that. But please, stop saying that as if it was a universal truth, because some of us love 1989, and reading some of your comments hurt me sometimes, I feel like I have ****ty taste because you guys say it's trash, basic or whatever. Now, to answer the OP. I don't believe the album is overrated because of the sales... It's just because a lot of people love it, simple as that. I personally love it because I LOVE IT, not because I love sales ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hope 2,030 Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Not to compare but, would you be pressed if people called ARTPOP over-rated if it had sold as much as 1989 is going to it's first week? Perhaps people would say it's just because Gaga has a legion of fans but her music wasn't good quality. The vast majority of the posts that I have seen on GagaDaily about Taylor this week have been negative and derived from pure jealousy and misguided statements intended to sway others from potentially caring for the album to distract everyone from the hard factual evidence that suggests that Taylor has dominated in ways that no one thought capable- so naturally we get excuses like, "it's overrated". First you need to compare the masterpiece, ARTPOP vs generic 1989. The results tell the truth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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...
