    The only reason that people hate her is because she used to be a Disney princess.
    If you simply forget what Miley uesd to be and take this album as a first album of an new artist, you will find this album amazing.

    Nota especializada muito baixa e injusta pra essa obra. Músicas excitantes que deixam você animado sem perder a qualidade. Os vocais maravilhos da Miley e as estupendas produções do Mike Will Made It só fazem dele melhor ainda.

    Bangerz is an album full of strange and questionable tracks. I don't even know what to say about some of the songs. Although there are some good standouts, the rest of the album is missing something quality.

    One of the best Miley, the songs may not be the best, but her vocals on this album are great, worthy of being heard by all.
    Highlights: Someone Else and Drive
    Lows: My Darlin 'and Maybe You're Rigth

    Forget Disney Forget Hannah Forget that child, and that the real Miley Cyrus, she and another child she and a woman with attitude, don't compare her as a Teen star she and superior to all.

    It's an odd phenomenon that people choose to let someone's image affect how they feel about their music. Say what you want about Miley Cyrus's venture into "adult pop" - making this her first explicit record and her most sexually charged lyrically - Bangerz manages to transform Cyrus from just another tween star to a headliner worthy of being on the same ranks as Rihanna, Katy Perry, andIt's an odd phenomenon that people choose to let someone's image affect how they feel about their music. Say what you want about Miley Cyrus's venture into "adult pop" - making this her first explicit record and her most sexually charged lyrically - Bangerz manages to transform Cyrus from just another tween star to a headliner worthy of being on the same ranks as Rihanna, Katy Perry, and Christina Aguilera. What Bangerz gets right is capturing the heartbreak, triumph, loss, success and failure of a larger than life celebrity thrust into the spotlight by the powerful Disney machine. 'Bangerz' often plays out like a storybook, transitioning from pop-y, light, syrupy ballads (Adore You, My Darlin') to angsty, screw you anthems directed (presumably) at her ex-fiance (FU, Drive, Wrecking Ball) and ending with the revealing "Someone Else". And Cyrus is right, she has turned into 'someone else', a visionary and pop powerhouse we'd never seen before under the restraints of her Disney label 'Hollywood Records'. What makes this album so special is that all its faults are what make it good. The lyrics sound like they're written by a 21 year old. The beats all has style and substance. The visuals all feel raw, as those of a young woman finding herself. What Cyrus does with Bangerz is what Aguilera did with Stripped a decade prior - pour her heart, confusion, anger, and soul into a highly stylized record that deliberately plays off the artists strengths and weaknesses to an equal degree, making this one of the few records that feel and sound like the artists own vision rather than the label produced offerings many artists in Cyrus's genre put out.… Expand

    An absolutely incredible album, people focus too much on her actions to look at the beauty of the music. She has grown and so has her music, one of the best albums ever.

    Except for the internationally known single 'Wrecking Ball' this album tends to entrap the listener in a lyrically trashy and musically boring slow hip-hop style.

    The buzz which characterizes 'Bangerz' could be fun, but it ends to be really annoying.

    Bangerz is a decent effort from Cyrus but it still has issues. Overall this was Miley's meltdown era, she was a trainwreck, but the album itself had a few good cuts. Some of my favorites were "Do My Thang", "Someone Else", "#GETITRIGHT" and "Wrecking Ball", the rest were ok but there's also a few train wrecks to discuss.

    Bangerz é um álbum complicado para se julgar, ele foi um trabalho diferente de tudo que a Miley Cyrus já fez em sua carreira, clipes polêmicos, músicas marcantes, vocais maravilhosos etc... Mas ao mesmo tempo ele é confuso, parece não ter um rumo correto, dividir músicas maravilhosas com outras duvidosas talvez possa ter prejudicado bastante ele.

    Este abum para mim é perfeito pois tem tudo o que uma pessoa gosta. Tem musicas contagiantes e Cyrus fez um album de varios estilos musicais, Pop, Hip-Hop, Country, Rap, eletronic music e muito mais. Recomendo melhor album como este há poucos

    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

    Gosto muito desse álbum ele demonstra uma Miley mais madura e sem medo de mostrar quem realmente é, só tem um problema nesse álbum que é algumas músicas que são descartáveis mas é um excelente álbum e espero que o sucessor dele sege bom que nem ele.

    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.

    'Bangerz' is by far Cyrus's best effort to date. There are two faces to this album - the first, headed by lead single 'We Can't Stop', introduces us to controversial Miley, we see a more adult, fun, party side to Cyrus and she shows us how she has matured into this outrageously fantastic popstar; the second face of the album, headed by single number two 'Wrecking Ball' shows us Cyrus's'Bangerz' is by far Cyrus's best effort to date.

These two faces flow brilliantly together throughout the tracklist, it is truly a first class pop record. Every song is fantastic in it's own individual way. Stand outs include 'Drive', 'Do My Thang' and 'Someone Else'.… Expand

    Con toda la polémica y éxito que cosechó Cyrus con este disco logró consagrarse como una estrella pop definitiva, contiene temas que se convirtieron en verdaderos clásicos de la cultura pop de la última década.

    What I can say this album isn't bad. There are some tracks which are really good. But I gave 6 because album is bit of waste, because it's hard to find good lyrics, there are some but very little

    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.

    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.
