    ok, so I'm a "little" biased, because I'm a big fan of Miley Cyrus, but I must say, even if I wasn't a fan of hers, but a fan of pop/dance music in general, this album is one of the best I've ever heard. Of course, with good there must also be bad, my only complaint is the use of auto-tune on a few songs, which is very lame, but other than that, I love this album and want more just like this!

    I've loved this album since I first bought it in 2010. It's my favorite Miley Cyrus album (having heard Bangerz already), it was a critical and commercial failure due to her racy and provocative image in her music videos, but I honestly didn't care for that and I actually appreciated it, as it was her way of telling people: "I'm independent and I can't be tamed".

I do think that she lacked a backup plan at the time and the negative backlash made her transition ineffective. The album has electronic and techno influences, with dance anthems and electronic ballads. 3 years after its release, I still enjoy it, it brings me good memories.… Expand

    I think this album is great! It is the very first (and up to now, only) album that captivates me with its every single song! And come on people, she is growing up! She's not cute, innocent Hannah Montana anymore! She's the one and only Miley Cyrus!!

    A lot of people do not understand this album, the reason of it. The production is not so good, but about the lyrics there is no one bad, if you know what those lyrics are saying.

    This album was incredible. The only thing wrong with it is the over use of auto-tune.

    Um álbum intimo, feito com carinho e amargurado pela crítica e mídia, foi uma era que deis do começo já tinha dado sinais que não iria se dar bem, dito e feito, mas isso não faz com que o álbum seja ruim.

    Can't Be Tamed é muito bom, e com certeza é o melhor álbum da miley, mas a divulgação dele foi horrível, fora o desperdiço de singles, as minhas faves são o álbum todo tirando "Forgiveness and Love" e "Two More Lonely People"

    The opening song "Liberty Walk" and "Robot" are both amazing and promoting freedom to be who you want and fight for your writes, very well-written. "My Heart Beats For Love" and "Forgiveness And Love" are very good relaxing songs about love, accepting and peace, also for the LGBT community. "Who Owns My Heart" is a gread dance song. I love this whole album.

    This is a decent authentic album of teen pop. A star singing infectious songs to her young listeners. A perfect job for the target audience. Miley Cyrus is ready on this album. With each music the expectation increases and it is positively possible to listen to the end

    Un buen álbum para una época equivocada, en donde la mis0ginia abundaba más que reconocer las transiciones de una gran artista. Amo a la reina versátil

    I still find it hard to believe how little appreciation this album has. It was the first step from a girl to an adult, and she was criticized more than she could. No doubt Miley always risks everything to find her sound

    Miley's third CD is a big step from her previous debuts and shows somewhat of a break from her Disney girl image. The lyrics and dance beats in most of the tracks are decent and catchy. Overall I really enjoyed listening to this album it is a fun, somewhat deep pop album.

    Can't Be Tamed is a perfect name for a diverse and eclectic, yet contained album. Miss Cyrus tries out several different styles on this electro-pop album, from Fleetwood Mac-esque ballads such as Forgiveness & Love and throwback Britney Spears on club bangers such as Who Owns My Heart. She holds her own on each song, proving she can sing with the rest of her older contemporaries. TheCan't Be Tamed is a perfect name for a diverse and eclectic, yet contained album.

She holds her own on each song, proving she can sing with the rest of her older contemporaries. The bottom line is, Can't Be Tamed is NOT a one-dimensional pop album with songs predominantly about partying and being promiscuous as many of her peers have. The young Miley addresses such issues as breaking free from an abusive relationship in the dance song Liberty Walk, gay-equality and activism in My Heart Beats For Love, and wanting to re-kindle a fading flame in the surprisingly mature Stay. While the blend of almost soulless electro-production from Rock Mafia seems out of place with the worth-reading lyrics of the album (many of which were penned by Cyrus herself) Can't Be Tamed is a free-spirited, abstract piece of art rather than a 99 cent painting on a rectangular canvas.
    Rating -- 9/10. The Princess of Pop in training puts effort into breaking free, and she shatters the barriers effortlessly.

    Miley breaks free from the "good-girl" image and gets more sexy. The singles are really good, especially My Heart Beats for Love, Can't Be Tamed, Every Rose Has Its Thorn and Who Owns My Heart. Stay could have been better but it's a really good ballad.

    Despite her best rebellious efforts, Miley's just not (yet) that thorny a girl.

    At times Can't Be Tamed feels perfunctory, getting the job of showing Cyrus is growing up without making her too mature for her still-young fan base and little else.

    It's a Top 40 record of a high order, packed with electro-pop hooks and big Kelly Clarkson-style shout-along choruses. Cyrus' 17-year-old ire--however genuine it is--just adds spice.
