    Well, I always liked Miley and thought she's very talented, and it definitely shows in this album. Her vocals are astounding, and we get all kinds of Miley here. The rock-styled Miley that we were introduced to in the last few years, the country-ish Hannah Montana one, the soft pop 2010s Miley, and now we hear some 80-s disco-dance-pop Miley.

Her vocals are astounding, and we get all kinds of Miley here. The rock-styled Miley that we were introduced to in the last few years, the country-ish Hannah Montana one, the soft pop 2010s Miley, and now we hear some 80-s disco-dance-pop Miley. I liked the concept but in my opinion, it hurt the cohesiveness of the album and some songs felt completely unrelated to the concept (for example Handstand sounds like a soundtrack from an 80s sci-fi movie).
    The songwriting was OK and no more, nothing exceptional. The production is great on some songs and completely generic on others (like on River, or You).
    I feel like this album is perfect for road trips as it has a very chill vibe, and Miley's voice is just so good and relaxing.
    Island had a great potential in my opinion, but the chorus and outro is very dragged and there's something lacking in production. Muddy Feet should have had way more Sia. Thousand Miles is great and bring the country Miley back to the front in the best way possible. Wonder Woman is phenomenal, Miley's delivery is really exceptional, and the chord progression is unpredictable and pleasing.

    Favorite Tracks: Flowers, Thousand Miles, Wildcard, Wonder Woman    … Expand

    His best album of his entire career. The more you listen to it, the more you like it. It is fresh, very pop and with influences from its roots, country and rock. He has found his place and has created a masterpiece. Fantastic.

    Un álbum que mantiene en estela todo lo que lo rodea. Mantiene ciertos cambios en canciones que pueden parecer muy repentinos. pero a mi parecer les da un aura muy interesante. Un solido 8,5 a 9,

    She really disappointed us with this album, she messed up the production, she could've created an album like plastic hearts but more rock or something like bangerz 2.0 not this "endless summer vacation"

    Endless Summer Vacation is potentially Miley's strongest album yet in her career. A blend of the best from Bangerz and Dead Petz, with a dash of Plastic Hearts, ESV showcases her skills as a songwriter and her phenomenal vocals. I predict a Grammy win for this release!

    Tem um pouco de rock, de country, eletrônico, mas se faz único a partir disso, é pop. Se nos outros álbuns a Miley tava explorando versões diferentes dela, aqui ela é apenas ela mesma e é brilhante. É bom ver a Miley de novo!

    O álbum é maravilhoso, primeiro trabalho pop da Miley que é coeso e artisticamente bonito. Endless Summer Vacation de fato nos transporta ao fim do verão, onde aquela sensação de nostalgia e temor pelo frio que se aproxima toma conta de nós.

    It’s an album with a new different vibe from her, she really grew in her lyrics and sound. I loved this new vibe, she never disappoints. It’s really interesting to see how she can change her genre with each era.

    Cyrus has matured her sound more and more, and now she shows her full potential in endless summer vacation. He manages to transmit his soul into the project, managing to rescue his past in a sweet way, but also his vigor as an artist. The tracks show how his maturation brought even more talent and insight. This is definitely your best work.

    The cohesive album I’ve heard in a few years. It’s not trying to be anything, it is Miley in her final form: fiercely unapologetic. You’ll get whatever she wants you to get. She’s not trying to shed an image, prove her adulthood or appeal to her critics. And now more than ever, you hear the sincerity and authenticity that attracts you to Miley’s shine.

    Very uninspiring. Not what you would expect after "Flowers", which would have been an unapologetic and empowering project. The narrative here is "i don't need men because I can buy my self flowers" on the first song and "I realy miss and need my man" for pretty much the rest of the album.

The idea of teaming up with the same producers as Harry’s House was just outstanding! Miley’s voice can hang with and easily carry these minimalistic beats. Jaded is the song that perfectly pop-ifies her girthy rock vocals! Like i couldn’t have wanted it any other way.
    Harry Styles in the house again in Rose Colored Lenses as in most of the AM part of this album and you can feel it. You can imagine Harry sing ANY of these songs but Miley? She just knocks it out of the park. She gives you the missing piece. Rose Colored is soo simple yet effective. Miley’s previous albums all lacked a blender like Handstand!

    Miley really needs to take care of her voice, it really sounds that she have been smoking a lot.
    The album is not creative at all, the aesthetics reminds lana rel rey-ish filters, the sound is from a regular pop album (as always) and even her clothes are pretty common, nothing new.

    This album belongs to the type of music that leaves a bold mark on the stage of emotional being and shapes a persons mood for the next couple of weeks from the first full listen. Highly recommend ESV to people who are struggling with letting the worries go for even a moment to just have an ounce of pure fun.
