    The album shows Iggy finally independent and resolute. Mind-blowing beats that keep you from dancing, songs with strong lyrics like Started. I just love this album and each of its tracks!

    Melhor álbum da atualidade, as pessoas não reconhecem talento de verdade, isso é um cúmulo.

    no doubt in my defenses is a spectacular album, not to mention all the effort and dedication that iggy put into this album. so it sure deserves a green note. I can't stop hearing it and I'm not the only one thinking that way. Thanks for that Iggy Azalea.

    The album is Iggy exploring your freedom. Including big productions that even some moments sounds like the same, is incredible. Congratulations Iggy.

    Masterpiece. Por fin crea su sonido y sigue sus instintos para ofrecernos esta joya musical. Iggy ya no nos va a proporcionar el rap comercial de tnc, si no que ahora nos da ritmos más potentes y bailables. Siempre contigo Iggz, since 2014.

    The critic score is absolutely ridiculous lol. The album isn't bad at all, it's fun and the music she's always wanted to make.

    It's exciting, explosive, aggressive and makes you think, without a doubt, the best album ever released.

    It's one of her best projects and she did great and the critics need to stop hating since they are the ones who ruined her reputation

    Awesome album. Every song is a banger. Started and Freak of the week are my absolute favourites..

    Una industria muy grande, y un camino muy largo, Iggy demuestra realmente lo suyo, una mujer innata que seguramente le falta en crecer, pero es una de las mejores en este ámbito musical, Azalea necesita apoyo en todo lo que hace. Muchos grandes hacen rap básico y no lo critican tan duramente

    This album started off with two tracks that really captured the true meaning of “In My Defense”. This was just enough to peak our interest and let her tell her side of things.The album then took a interesting turn one would not expect a rather more fun and light hearted twist right in the middle of the album.It starts out with sally walker a hard hitter with a hard beat! This section thenThis album started off with two tracks that really captured the true meaning of “In My Defense”. This was just enough to peak our interest and let her tell her side of things.The album then took a interesting turn one would not expect a rather more fun and light hearted twist right in the middle of the album.It starts out with sally walker a hard hitter with a hard beat! This section then ends with the female empowering track “fu*k it up” ft Kash Doll.After such a fun section the album starts to get dark.It starts with another female collaboration with a new artist stini on“big bag”which then leads into “comme des garçons”.This is a nice slow down from all the fast paced songs we got before.Lastly to top off this roller coaster ride of an album we end on a fun “freaky” side of Iggy with “freak of the week” into “just wanna” and then lastly “p*ssy pop”.In conclusion this was a very enjoyable album and and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a dark fun album with a great underlining message!… Expand

    Why are y'all hating on this album. It slaps so hard, so, so hard. This really shows and proves how Iggy Azalea has grown as an artist. It also shows how independent she can be, because she really couldn't be rapper she wanted to be with her other team. Not gonna lie I wasn't expecting Iggy to sound this good.

    Ótimo Álbum, Iggy passou anos sem lançar um projeto novo. Porém agora nos trouxe um ótimo trabalho que lembra muito sua primeira mixtape "Ignorant Art" e como ela surgiu na indústria, fazendo RAP!

    the best album of his career, a mature sound with a lot of acoustic reference to rap, deserves a thousand notes!

    The album is great. unbelievable. Iggy's working too hard. People don't like him and his music. Why don't you respect it? Iggy's good. music legend. the people were very rude and disrespectful.

    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.
