Awesome re-release
I am a big Taylor Swift fan and I absolutely loved the new additional tracks. They include more country instruments than the earlier songs on the album, but they're still extremely poppy. She did a rerelease of her last album, but I think there were only 2 or 3 more new songs on it.
I am so happy that she released this so fans like me wouldn't have to wait a whole another year for new songs. I think it would be a great Christmas present for any Swift fans!
MP3 Buyer: BEWARE
All the extra stuff that comes with the Platinum edition like the music videos is not included on the MP3 Amazon download. I am waiting to hear a response from Amazon. All I received were the songs. If Amazon is not going to provide the extra stuff in an MP3 download, they need to state it in the description.
In Case You Were Wondering, Taylor Swift Is Still Untouchable
Note: This review is of the new content only.
With the release of "Fearless," Taylor Swift showed she was a force to be reckoned with, with her combination of relatable lyrics, catchy music, and a sheer crossover appeal in everything she does. The results are an astonishing 4 million copies sold in its first year, and counting this release, 12 of the 19 tracks have been top 40 hits, which is a record. Not to mention 'You Belong with Me' & 'Love Story' were the biggest country songs in 20-some years. With all this success, and ever-grateful to her fans, Taylor decided to throw in some bonus tracks and a load of DVD content added to the release. Granted, it's always preferable to do bonus content in the form of an EP, but this is Taylor's thank you for the fans. If you're a fan, you shouldn't complain in buying the album again, if you're not, this really won't change your mind, so don't bother.
Musically, it's a true extension of the album, as all of the tracks blend in perfectly. 'Jump Then Fall' is a natural follow-up to her other singles, and the song should take off as her singles tend to do. 'Forever & Always' greatly improves on the original in bringing out the heart and emotion of the song in a great performance. But the real reason why you should buy this is because of her cover of 'Untouchable.' When I first heard the song I was absolutely stunned since I was a big fan of the original as done by the alternative rock band, Luna Halo. Taylor takes a high-energy rock song and strips it down to it's emotional core. The results are nothing short of amazing, as the vocals, lyrics, and restrained instrumentation adds up to a beautiful song, which is breathtaking in its chorus. This is how you should do a cover, and Taylor covers the song perfectly adding a great spin to it. I'd even go as far to say that this is her best work.
As for the DVD portion, this is where the fan-service is. Not only does it hold the five music videos that have been made for the album thus far, but it contains the 30-minute making-of special GAC aired. Add in a photo gallery, a tour behind the scenes, and even the Thug Story video, and you have some 2 hours of bonus material, which is more than some movies give you. And if you got the live performances, you'll enjoy the great work her band does.
Overall, if you're a fan, or you don't have the album yet, I highly recommend this release. Not only does its bonus material go far beyond the normal call of duty, but it's all quality bonus content. If you take anything away from this release, take away "Untouchable" off iTunes, it's an amazing track, and it's imperative you check it out. If there was any negative here, it'd be the fact there isn't any alternative version to "Love Story" or "You Belong With Me." I also got to say I'm a huge fan of the album art & the linear notes art.

DVD quality is horrible
I usually download music on itunes but I just bought this for the DVD, however the dvd quality is horrible, love story looks like it was taken from youtube and put on the dvd. Other than the 5 music videos of horrible quality the rest of the DVD is negligible...
All the same
I am a music lover. I'm always hearing what new artists have to try out on the senses. This woman/girls voice gets on my nerves all the songs are sung the same way it's and experience in Nasal cavity singing. I'll stick to real singers and not this tween commercial for the Hills. Carrie Underwood,Patsy Cline, All have far more soul than this. I'm hearing all this fuss about her but honestly there is nothing to fuss about.I'm not impressed.
