All Too Well is an authentic well-written country song. Red got an unforgettable CMA performance. The pop non-singles like Holy Ground were fun. The pop singles were better than most pop music.
That was top-to-bottom the best and it just so happens to have the best top as well.
Red is everything, every song is perfect. The first 3 are hit and miss and 1989 is decent but not as good as Red.
I agree with you both - the album just seems to be so well-made, from the singles to the duets, it's one of my favourite albums of the decade.
I just hope she doesn't go the hip-hop route on her next album - the single version of Bad Blood is my least favourite song of hers.
