    A disappointment compared to her debut, In My Defense is more of a compilation than a coherent album.

    Sinceramente eu não sei como a Iggy, que saiu do The New Classic, entrega um trabalho meia boca como esse. Muitas faixas desnecessárias, batidas repetitivas em quase todas as músicas e por aí segue. De todas as músicas, as únicas que eu gosto e consigo ouvir completas são Sally Walker e Started.

    This album was really a mess, some songs like **** it up had bad videos, and non singles are just **** songs

    Plano, es un disco totalmente plano y repetitivo, si tan sólo las canciones hubieran sido similares a los sencillos, otra cosa hubiera sido

    Ruim, bem ruim... Os singles anteriores ao lançamento davam outra visão sobre o álbum...
    Estou decepcionada

    If I were listening to this rap album expecting great rap and lyrics, then I would give this a 0. All the songs make an attempt at being rap, and there actually are a few songs that I would put in my playlist, but it's not rap. The beats are catchy, and there honestly isn't a 'worst' song on the album. There's a couple good songs, and then the rest are varying levels of 'meh'.

I don't think it belongs on a list of the worst rap albums in recent history (eg. Total Xanarchy, Revival).… Expand

    Could’ve been a masterpiece if worked on more.
    Some of the songs are bland and the album has no personality overall.
    Twerking songs are good, but we wanted something more mature from Iggy with this album

    Nobody expected Azalea to come back super talented and with an entirely new shtick. Nonetheless, In My Defense could have been a tad bit more introspective or at the very least, fun.

    The album is stacked with cartoonish approximations of what she thinks a rap song should sound like: shivers of bass, the occasional “skrrrt,” Mad Libs of designer brands and bodily fluids. Many sound like direct imitations of the rappers she admires.

    After a half-decade of life lessons, Azalea could have gone in a certain cathartic and mature direction. However, on In My Defense, she opted for a less gracious and, ultimately, exhausted route.
