With the official launch of Taylor Swift's "1989" on Monday and its expected success, music critics are calling her album the best to date, cites E! News.
"When Taylor Swift decides to do something, the girl really knows how to overdo it. Deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic, '1989' sounds exactly like Taylor Swift, even when it sounds like nothing she's ever tried before," says the Rolling Stones about the country music-turned-pop singer and her latest album.
"'1989' is Taylor Swift's coming out party. It is her best work -- a sophisticated pop tour de force that deserves to be as popular commercially. (It is) an album that finds Swift meeting Katy (Perry), Miley (Cyrus) and Pink on their home turf and staring them down," describes Billboard.
The album was released on Monday amid reports of widespread leaks of most of the tracks on the album two days before which had Big Machine Records scrambling to plug it, reports Heavy.
But as expected, even leaked tracks that outnumber the original version 19 to 13, was not enough to douse cold water on the impending march of "1989" to sure-fire success.
Since its official Monday release date, the original tracks of "1989" are now available on iTunes for download.
