Release Date: July 7th, 2023
the 3rd re-recording.
Review: Fearless and Red sounded just as good. But here, something is missing. To start, the original Speak Now was never my favorite. It had good songs with bad songs. Over the years, I would always come back to Sparks Fly, Back to December, Story of Us, and Ours. The new version of Sparks Fly doesn't give me that rush, that excitement, that young person in love feeling. I'm fine with "Back to December," but The Story of Us felt less pop punk to me. Like I get it, she can't go back in time, her voice now is her voice now. The Re-recordings just doesn't sound right.
As for the 6 (From the Vault) tracks. none of them stood out to me.
Summary: This was never one of my favorite albums and this rerecording didn't change that. For Fearless and Red, the rerecordings became my norm, but for Speak Now, I prefer the originals.
Favorite Songs:
Back to December
Rating: 6/10
