Truthfully, I only wish to tell you about one song. Because I figured something out. I bet you're all narrowing your eyes saying "I thought you said you'd review GOOD music." And, yeah, her voice isn't all that good. But her lyrics and songwriting is amazing.
The lyrics to "Better Than Revenge" are amazing, and the song has enlightened me on something: stressing certain syllables gives the song a rhythm and also helps a listener focus in on the emotions and the main points of the song. I think Taylor used this technique perfectly in this angry song, and it was a good choice.
In the song "Speak Now," her rhyming isn't painfully obvious the way it is in some songs, like her earlier songs. It didn't bother me then, but it does sometimes. But the lyrics in this song fit together well and sound good together. Her voice is not the best, but it definitely isn't the worst you'll hear on the radio (Justin Beiber, anyone?).
The music is over-all well-arranged, and her lyrics are priceless. The main ideas come across clearly, and are very well emotioned. This album is good for someone looking for good music and lyrics, not good singing.
