And it makes its obligatory appearance here on "Shake It Off" (right after she says "I go on too many dates"). It's not quite on the level of a "Hey Stephen" giggle or even a "Stay Stay Stay" giggle, but it's a darn good giggle.<br /><br />-You'll see that I make no mention of "Welcome to New York" in my review. That's because I'm not crazy about it, but I do like that she even talks about New York like it's a guy she has a crush on.<br /><br />-"Two paper airplanes flying" is such a great way to describe a doomed relationship.<br /><br />-Taylor Swift loves sick beats.<br /><br />-"We're a crooked love, in a straight line down." NOW TELL ME SHE CAN'T TURN A PHRASE<br /><br />-I really hated "This Love" right up until my last listen before this review. The chorus is still pretty dreadful, but I can at least tolerate the song as a whole. Still I can't help feeling like the album loses alot of its momentum in the last three songs. Which is crazy because the three bonus tracks would make a MUCH better ending to the album. "Wonderland" is a superior version of "I Know Places," "You Are in Love" is a much better version of "This Love," and there are no similarities between "Clean" and "New Romantics" but I wouldn't be mad if the former was replaced by the latter. I quite like "Clean," but "New Romantics" is an absolute barnburner of a song. If it were on the standard addition it'd be in the top 3 when it comes to quality.<br /><br />-Also, treat yourself and listen to the voice memos on the deluxe version. They're like a director's commentary for the album, and they give a fascinating look into Swift's songwriting process. She has a preternatural gift for melodies.<br /><br />-Speaking of melodies, she's so good at creating them that she stuffs her songs with tiny little melodies that could carry a whole verse or song, but she just does it for a line or two and moves on.<br /><br />-Taylor Swift is the queen of bridges (see: "Hey Stephen," You're Not Sorry," "Mine"). Songs on here with great bridges: "All You Had To Do Was Stay," "I Wish You Would," "Bad Blood," "Wildest Dreams," "How You Get the Girl," "Clean." Basically every song.<br /><br />-"Bad Blood" has drums that sound like Clipse's "Grindin'" Just wonderful.<br /><br />-The withering sigh in the chorus of "Wildest Dreams" might be Swift's greatest vocal moment of her career so far.<br /><br />-Lyrical motifs on this album: water, car crashes (she even references James Dean, who died in a car crash), fire, dreams and nightmares, red lips<br /><br />-"How You Get the Girl" has another T.Swift trademark that separates her from other pop stars: her songs have genuine forward momentum to them. They're not just variations on a theme, they're linear progressions.<br /><br />-She's very good at making songs about trying to throw yourself so completely into a relationship, thinking that shutting out the world will be enough to keep it from creeping in anyway. "Wonderland" is a great example of that. "Holy Ground" from her last album is another one.<br /><br />-"New Romantics" is basically what "Starlight" should've been.Antonio Whiteheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04683849518766835378noreply@blogger.com
