2What to say...what to say
By Chris
First off, I am not a hater or internet assassin. I am huge Fan of Taylor's. I love all three albums and her.

This song is different and all pop. Country radio is playing a version of it but its very similar to the pop one.

I am not judging until I hear the whole album. Is this well written and thoughtful, no. Is it catchy and in the vain of Call Me Maybe, yes. It is what I call a summer song.

I am eager to hear how this record goes. I loved her last record Speak Now. It was grown up, mature, and thoughtful.
I hope this song is not foreshadowing.

Time will tell.

4Relatable, catchy, still very "Taylor".. just more pop
By Ginger R.
Even at first listen, you can tell Taylor is using co-writers this time around. I wasn't surprised to learn that Max Martin was one of them for this track (Martin is responsible for many Britney Spears & P!nk hits.) Therefore, I can see why this song is getting mixed reviews.

On one hand, it is pure pop, making it seem somewhat shallow.. even if the lyrics are still very Taylor-esque, just not quite as much story-telling this time. On the other hand, only Taylor Swift could come out with a pure pop song & have it be a "different" sound for her. If this was a new artist on the scene, I'm not sure this song would be a hit for them. But because we wouldn't expect this from Taylor, it ends up seeming original in a way. It is intriguing to think what direction her album will be going based on this song.

Since the album doesn't drop til the end of October, I'm sure she will release another single before then. So critics shouldn't judge quite yet. In the meantime, enjoy a more fluffy pop song that only Taylor could make seem refreshing. I personally really enjoy it, especially because I can relate to the break-up-then-make-up relationship it's describing. Part of Taylor Swift's genius is how relatable she is, so in my mind, this style still suits her.

However, a caveat: I'm not a country music fan, so her divergence from that genre would not affect or disappoint me anyway.

3A Swift-Nitpicker's Paradise
By sovereign73811
A small warning to those who may only see stars instead of this text: I've heard the whole song and have only one opinion about Taylor Swift (Yes, it's OK to capitalize off of bad relationships...I think we can all see what's next with some of her latest headlines with the Kennedy family, no offense).

One more warning: nerdy references have been added for hyperbole.

So now a new album is on the way and we are given a little sample of what possibly lies ahead in "Red." First time I heard this song I couldn't make heads or tails of it; the basic melody's structure is interesting but things like acoustic guitar spots then drowned out by electric guitar riffs conflicted me. It wasn't until the fifth time I figured it out: she's one ticked off girl beyond words...so she turned it into a song instead. Shoot, the same solution to her songs before...and before, and before, and before, and - I need an aural cleanser...where's my John Williams CD set?

The worst part about the song? The beat. Perhaps I'm the only one who thinks that modern music that has that overly heavy bass beat is like strapping a bunch of overloaded phasers to my head then make like I'm having fun by rocking what's left of it back and forth (don't say I didn't warn you). Worse still, it seems to be the most dominant sound in the whole song! At least in her prior work, there's usually more going on...namely with the guitar but the guitar doesn't seem to do much but repeat the same riffs. If I'm not mistaken that was the instrument that got her into music right?

The best part of this song? Well, now that I've got it in, I can't this piece of work out. Swift still has the ability to "swiftly" take a tune and utterly implant the thing in your memory, and not just the refrain part...the whole thing. Credit must be given where it's due; without this the song's nothing...special...I miss her older songs already because many of them were more unique (Teardrops, Love Story, Mean, etc.).

I must not end without something completely different-ly weird. What could improve this music and make break from her style? A Latin jazz sound right? Yeah think about it. In fact let me give you an example for you Playstation 3 owners out there. Load up Ratchet and Clank Future: A Crack in Time, go to the Bernilius Sector, and switch your radio to the Deep Space Jams station. Just imagine the mash-up (try not to take this one too seriously OK?).

Phew! Yep, if you're reading this paragraph thanks for tolerating its length. Feel free now to...nitpick me...for now though, I'll go sit in the corner and think about what I've done...with my Carrie Underwood music - huh, I have Carrie Underwood music!?
