Red TV's vault alone makes it far superior to the other re-recordings. 1989 TV is still really great. Actually I think I love 99% of all the re-recorded material. There's so very very few (and specific) things that I'm not sold on. Holy Ground TV though...

For them 1989 is Style, Blank Space and Wildest Dreams. For me it's OOTW, New Romantics and IWYW (and Style obviously ).... these vault tracks totally sound like they belong to 1989 Right ! If anything the vault tracks have more 80s vibes than a lot of the main album and thus make more sense with the them of the album

So it's natural for me to prefer 1989 to it.

It's all over the place which is perfectly in line with the emotions you feel after a hard break-up. The messiness just adds to the story imo (and also I much prefer the songs on Red overall).
Peroxide Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Okay, now that I've had time to sit with it... on a whole, I'm very happy. From the Vault tracks: **** - 7/10 (It's got a little Maroon going on, the pre-chorus is beautiful but overall it's nothing special) Say Don't Go - 9/10 (Absolutely phenomenal. I'm amazed this didn't at least become a bonus track... up there with All Too Well 10MV and Nothing New for my fave vault songs) Now That We Don't Talk - 5/10 (The chorus is just a bit flat... doesn't hit for me, at least not yet) Suburban Legends - 6/10 (I'd like this a lot more if Mastermind and Question didn't exist... it's just too samey to stuff she's already done - Jack, sis CHANGE IT UP) Is It Over Now? - 8/10 (We're finishing strong. Solid closer) As for the re-recordings, oooh, it's a mixed bag. She nailed it: - Blank Space Out of The Woods - dare I say, this version is even better? I Wish You Would Wildest Dreams This Love Clean - This was the one song I wanted her not to butcher... and it's gorgeous. I love this version so much. You Are In Love Pretty good: - All You Had To Do Was Stay I Know Places Bad Blood Wonderland New Romantics Not bad, but Scooter outsold: - Welcome To New York Shake It Off How You Get The Girl Doctor, she's BOTCHED: - Style - I'm so angry about that intro. Jesus. Edited October 27, 2023 by Peroxide
liquiddiamonds Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 The 80s vibe is actually more present here, which was always my main problem with the album. As great as it was, 1989 was never 80s enough. Now I can hear it. Damn like there’s a delicious synth line underneath the Shake it Off chorus that they drowned with the horns. The bridge sounds better and more Mickey indebted. Now we can hear everything. Only thing the OG was better was the robotic background vocals layering for the last chorus but Max is a master at that
Jglj Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Nothing could've prepared me for how bad Style is, why wouldn't she get a pop producer to get that one right? I know she didn't get Max Martin and Shellback back, but like that is not it, sounds like she got a karaoke machine and sung it. It's also so jarring after Welcome to New York and Blank Space were ok (albeit I miss the satisfying pen click from the OG). 1
greento Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 Style TV sounds really good in my car, and it’s actually not that different the more you listen it still hits

Cleanromantic Posted October 27, 2023 Posted October 27, 2023 people saying 80s synth midtempos are out of place on an album inspired by 80s music called 1989 2 1
