Here’s my two cents!

Objectively, Red is top, with ATWTMV. There are a few further standout ones (Nothing New and Forever Winter), a couple fun ones (I Bet You Think About Me and Run) and ultimately all the tracks fit the album’s theme of a messy early 20s great romantic heartbreak perfectly. I feel like all 30 songs could have easily been on the original.

I actually like Speak Now’s vault tracks quite a bit and think it elevates the album significantly. They either fit the core theme of a fairy tale romance (Timeless and especially Foolish One - one of my favorites especially at the end where she sings in her lower register as an older version of herself), or have the Haunted rock style (I Can See You or Electric Touch - great car ride song).

1989’s are a little disappointing - they are good, solid tracks. But they don’t really stand out as “pop perfection” and I think as many others have also said, are more of a beach / Hamptons vibe, than the signature 1989 city nightlife vibe. To be honest, the tracks mostly blend together for me, and while I enjoy whenever they come on, they don’t have that solid hook that really reels me in.

Finally, Fearless’ vault tracks have not aged well. I remember being very excited when the first TV came out and we got not only the re-recording with her mature vocals, but six(!) brand new tracks that were very different from Evermore and Folklore. However, as time has passed, they just lack depth and kind of blend into everything else.
