Album of the Week - Speak Now!


So Tay-Tay has done it again. This week Miss Swift released her much anticipated third album Speak Now, exciting indeed. I have never been the biggest Taylor Swift fan in the past. I thought she was a great songwriter, but she just never deserved all the hype she got. That's until this album came around and it finally clicked. Now I'm a full fledged Swift fan. 

The album is amazing! The songs are of course well-written and range from her usually songs about boys to more softer songs that deal with a different side of her life. These softer songs in question are the darling Innocent and the simple Never Grow Up. They deal with forgiveness and the harshness of growing up in beautiful ways. 

That's not to say that her love songs aren't bad. Excluding Sparks Fly, which is essentially a more up-beat version of the song Fearless from her last album, they are wonderful. The emotion in these songs is clear and there's bound to be a song where you yourself have been in the same situation. From the somber Last Kiss, where she mourns the end of a relationship . To Enchanted, a song about being spellbound by a first meeting. 

Final Verdict: It's Great! If your not convinced yet listen to Haunted, for a different sound that Taylor hasn't done before. Better than Revenge, just to hear Miss Swift say the line "she's better known for what she does on the mattress" and the title track Speak Now for its sheer adorableness! Or you could just buy it to hear what she has to say about her more famous ex's!
