Unfortunately, I've realized Speak Now was the only Taylor Swift album I cared to rank. You can take me off the tag list.

Apparently it took this rankdown to make me realize that Speak Now might not be my favorite album of hers.
My top and bottom 4 were pretty easy. It got tough after that.

Probably won't do this. Maybe extend to the 5th I could potentially extend to the 5th... I just want to get the reveals done by the 10th and I would probably need 4 days to reveal this rankdown, so I could do that if needed. |

Yeah, I'd appreciate an extension as well. Was planning to do it this week, but I was so insanely busy I couldn't.

So I'll extend it to the 3rd for now, and then if people need more time I'll extend it then to the 5th, how does that sound?

My list is basically ready to submit but I'm still going to leave it to the last minute because I'm having a hard time ranking the top 5 and bottom 10.
Unless All Too Well gets tanked, it should be a lock for #1, so what I'm wondering is if we can get the top 2 to be album tracks. There's 3 album tracks that are pretty competitive against the top singles from Red. Has any RD had the two top spots go to album tracks?

Hoping one of them is my 4, but idk. From various other rankdowns on other websites, fan polls, album reviews, etc... State of Grace has made it to #2 and almost always makes top 5 (I think it even beat All Too Well in one aTRL rate). Treacherous and Holy Ground have made it to top 5 in several of these competitions but usually behind All Too Well and State of Grace. But who knows, Pulse ranked Last Kiss a lot lower than it usually would so maybe one of those songs will underperform too. |

BRB editing my list to tank IKYWT and WANEGBT. That's fine you do you boo Just checked your Speak Now ranking and your top 3 are the same as mine so hopefully your blindness to quality doesn't extend too far past All Too Well. |

I think I just dislike "All Too Well" so much because it sounds so redundant for her. It sounds like it came out of a Taylor Swift factory. A lot of these songs sound like her just putting out stuff cause she has to release something, Speak Now feels more earnest, passionate, and playful. I don't think the album is bad or anything, but for the most part it's just not what I enjoy or listen to Taylor for. Funny cause I love Speak Now and 1989. |

^ I kinda agree on that. "Speak Now" and "1989" follow the same pattern, the only difference being that one is country and the other one is pure pop. They're diverse and playful and they work because they're cohesive at the same time.
'Red' is Taylor's indie effort. She clearly went for a poppier sound than her first three records, but instead, she dived into the arena rock style and that made the album great on its own. Plus, it's full of heartbreaking yet catchy ballads and then you have the upbeat numbers. There's no inbetween. Everyone's judging 'Red' for not being sonically cohesive but I think it mainly works cause an album like that shouldn't be cohesive. That's exactly how you feel after a breakup, the ups, the downs, the passion and the heartbreak. 'Red' is the definition of a Taylor Swift album.

When I think of a Taylor Swift album, Red is the first one to come to mind because it feels the most genuine out of all of them. It's in this album that she showcased her true personality. Songs like Holy Ground, All Too Well, I Almost Do and State of Grace display Taylor Swift's songwriting at its best. |
