    This album is absolutely contrived and manufactured. This album was just as much produced and written by a bunch of staunchy old white men sitting in a board room as it was by Miley's production team. There are absolutely no chances taken on this album. Every cliche pop music move was put into this album in full.

This album was just as much produced and written by a bunch of staunchy old white men sitting in a board room as it was by Miley's production team. There are absolutely no chances taken on this album. Every cliche pop music move was put into this album in full. When things like this come through the pipeline you have to ask a few questions. There have been other pop projects that have come down the pipe in recent years that are just as polished and spit shined and totally devoid of art as this one. The last Lady Gaga projects for example just as much cliche and non real risk taking as this one but here's the difference, Lady Gaga or better yet her handlers pick better written songs and she can actually sing her ass off and that is the reason her projects will probably be remembered for much longer than Miley's. She must be absolutely surrounded with people that do nothing but tell her everything she does is great. This album is just as much created in a test tube by disney types with just as little soul as was given to her in the disney lab. People need to wake up and demand that thier artist actually create art of this decade will be just as unremarkable for music as the last decade. Demand better of the industry....... Expand

    The new generation is terrible. The only things they like are fortune and fame. It's just like diamonds. IN Albums like this offer no progress to music.

    It adds nothing new to the genre. Some beats are okay but the lyrics in general are laughable. I am losing faith in humanity if songs like "Wrecking Ball" and "We Cant Stop" have more than one hundred million clicks on Youtube.

    I found the music on this album to be banal and completely unmemorable, this album seems like its only purpose is for Miley to shed her "wholesome Disney star" image.

    There is one word to describe this album: BORING

    All the songs on this album have really uninteresting ideas and a lack of creativity.I also really dislike the album due to the amount of variety put into it, making me confused with what Miley wants to do with her album... The only song that I liked for being unique is "#GETITRIGHT", a very catchy song and an otherwise good song to use

The only song that I liked for being unique is "#GETITRIGHT", a very catchy song and an otherwise good song to use as a single, otherwise, it's nothing special. Imagine if Miley talk to some business men to write songs and it's her that decides what she wants for those songs, that's....lazy.

    In the end, I don't really want to be listening to this album. I would be happy to demolish it if I could because this album just bores me to death and disgusts me with the raunchy and wrong lyrics...

    I can't understand why she is acting so just to have a few weeks of fame. Since the video of We Can't stop she does everything for the attention. Honestly, the songs are crappy and with no meaning. The lyrics don't mean anything at all. "LA da da di we like to party dancing with miley" Seriously? Garbage. Burn it!

    Not her best album. The only track that surprised was "Wrecking Ball", without that, I'd delete like 10 tracks from Bangerz before buying it, if I ever could.

    This is one of the worst pop albums ever made. It brings nothing new to the table. The production is weak, the lyrics are laughable, the guest features don't do anything, the delivery sucks, the tracks are overly proccessed and full of Auto-Tune, there's no redeeming quality to it.

If you take away all of the desperate publicity stunts and attention-seeking behavior, all you have is a pile of forgettable turd that fails at trying to be edgy and brings the quality of music down another low. The fact that anyone with a brain would like this is scary because there's nothing good about it. Expand

    I actually can't stand Miley as a person, but I gave the album a chance. Some of the songs were just "okay" but others are so bad they sound like something anyone with Fruity Studios could make!
    People giving this a 10 are definitely trolls.

    Man, I don't know what she was thinking when she made this album, like, it is a mess and a failed attempt to be mainstream. The only song that is a least good is "We Can't Stop" although the lyrics are really really bad... I WANNA SEE THE REAL MILEY!!

    Mediocre at best. All this untalented girl wants is attention, and everyone is giving her that. Her songs are weak, her performances are miserable, basically she's almost as bad as Rhianna.

    This album is not what she used to produce and in fact nothing close to that. Miley has changed, which is fine, however not in the way people would have expected. Overall not great.

    Bad and catastrophic, as a young man can be damaged this way.
    Miley composed with a lot of guys, and made an album of very poor quality. A little more ATTENTION PLEASE

    Este disco realmente no me provoca nada, debería de ser usado como metodo de tortura... Tiene los peores videos del año y las canciones ni siquiera se te quedan en la cabeza.

    Even though Cyrus music is old and our generation does not need her in the industry; her sexual music is kinda worth listening too! (at times) but her talent is wasted now

    No provoca nada, letras realmente malas, ritmos reciclados, ningún sonido nuevo, nada innovador, es un disco malo... salvan 3 o 4 canciones, mas no. Vídeos malos, muchos ft's, intento de rap en algunas canciones, horrible.

    One of the worst albums of the year thus far. It shows absolutely no artistic growth, the lyrics are elementary, and the vocals are non-existent. All in all, a terrible album. Collapse

    I might not like her music but she's pretty smart, she moved on from being a child's entertainer and now look where she is, she is being hated on by hannah montana fans and others and she is making more money. she might be a terrible singer but she's smart.

    The only reason this album is talked about is the fact that she does provocative things. The only song i can use is Sms Bangerz due to the Britney collaboration.

    Few listenable songs. Each song is similar to another. Predictable lyrics. We can all admit that she is just a singer who can only release two good singles. The rest of the album is trashy

    We can thank Liam for this. So many songs were about him. How she felt about him.

    Adore You - I seriously think Liam is going to marry me
    Wrecking Ball - Liam wrecked me
    Drive - Why did Liam dump me
    FU - I am bitter because Liam dumped me
    Someone Else - Liam dumped me and now I've gone crazy. Lost my mind

    Este album tal y como su nombre lo anuncia, es explosivo, contiene una mezcla de estilos como Hip-Hop, country, pop y ballads, cabe destacar que Miley Cyrus explota su talento vocal nunca antes mostrado en las notas altas. Ni hablar de sus letras, Drive y Adore you son buenísimas baladas. FU se luce completamente en las vocales. We can't stop y #GetItRight son buen contenido para bailar.Este album tal y como su nombre lo anuncia, es explosivo, contiene una mezcla de estilos como Hip-Hop, country, pop y ballads, cabe destacar que Miley Cyrus explota su talento vocal nunca antes mostrado en las notas altas.

    What the hell is Miley doing??? With really hit or miss production, meh singing throughout, this might have made a 0 out of 10. What saved it? FU is the best thing Miley has done in her ENTIRE career. 3/10

    Miley Cyrus cemented herself as a cultural staple with the rarely captivating BANGERS. From her blonde her to her numerous antics that pushed boundaries whilst beginning trends(however appropriated) she created her own space from the parasitic Disney past.. The predating easy heartbreak of her Snoop Dogg collaboration felt like an ascension one made dull by this full release . Her albumMiley Cyrus cemented herself as a cultural staple with the rarely captivating BANGERS. From her blonde her to her numerous antics that pushed boundaries whilst beginning trends(however appropriated) she created her own space from the parasitic Disney past.. The predating easy heartbreak of her Snoop Dogg collaboration felt like an ascension one made dull by this full release . Her album succumbs to too little self control ,too much indulgence and no self. It seemed like a calculated attempt at pandering to the airwaves(one that worked ). A bit too on the nose considering her adopted persona. The first two songs are good. They are the singles &we understand why:they mark the few good moment's on this severly overstuffed record. "SMS" feels almost disrespectful with how little it tries and successfully disappoints. The aforementioned being topped by the terrifying "4×4" which at its play at conveying "real miley" ends up being one of the worst things to hear in 2013. The centerpiece &controversially filmed video, "wrecking ball " connects back to "adore you" and the album it could've been. Save the reprieve of "Darling " this is mostly a culturally significant record that relies on it's singles for enjoyment.
    Despite it's mark on culture it's an effortless meditation on nothing at all. And we can tell

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm a big Miley fan since Hannah Montana early days, but this album isn't good, it doesn't represent musically who is Miley, the hip hop/R&B/pop vibe doesn't felt like home for her at least in my opinion, I always felt like she was more good at the rock or country.
    Besides that, you can find a few good songs here, like ''Wrecking Ball'', ''Maybe You're Right'' and ''Adore You'', and ''4x4'' isn't bad at all if you remove that rapper.
    I really hope that Miley won't to an album like Bangerz again.

    We get a record that is surprisingly dull, which alternates between syrupy, unremarkable ballads and uptempo tracks that sound like they’ve been assembled by a committee of consultants.

    It's full of timid electropop anthems.

    Sometimes, like on the outstanding "Wrecking Ball," the emotion calcifies into catchy, mature hooks, propelled forth by Cyrus' oft-underestimated vocal heft. Then again, the breakup also produced "FU," a dismally adolescent electro-soul duet with French Montana.
