    Selena went through a lot, but I didn’t see that reflected in this album. She cried more over Bieber than the literal life or death kidney transplant that she didn't mention at all.

    Nunca irá superar o Revival. O rare me decepcionou muito como fã. Anos de espera pra essa cabeçuda vir com esse lixo

    despite being selenator, i'm so discouraged about what selena gave fans. we waited 4 years for this album and the end result was boring and basic.

    TERRIBLE, GENERIC, CHAOTIC. An album that looks more like boring guided meditation. Production is poor, the lyrics aren't good

    It's embarrassing for a 27-year-old woman with over a decade in the music industry, to produce an album that sounds like she's still on Disney Channel

    Weak lyrics and her voice is kinda annoying, vulnerable is the only listenable song

    A mess. It's sad she had to put other artists to do the high notes she could never reach, how sad is it. Can she please give up her music career?

    Selena Gomez has once again proven herself to be an inconsistent and underperforming artist and songwriter with her newest album rare

    She took 4 years to make this album and it is really bad the producing on the album is not good. The lyrics are good on song like “people I know”
    There nothing new on this album in a world of consumption

    Very underwhelming, simple and bland. I don’t know why it took her 4 years to make this album.

    worst album of the DECADE, lousy writing, horrible vocals.. i disagree by poppy is much more well written & it’s disgusting how some people can compare this to the masterpiece sweetener

    Álbum genérico, infantil e imaturo, sem autenticidade nenhuma, mas não se pode esperar muita coisa de uma artista fabricada e sem talento

    soa como qualquer coisa que ela já fez antes. atrapalhado. comum. feio. mal produzido. estas são apenas algumas palavras que vem à mente quando penso nesse disco que azedou o mês de janeiro.

    Who told this girl she could sing??? All the tracks look like each other, there isn’t ANY vocal dynamic and the lyrics (except Lose you to love me and Cut of you) are totally generic. She took 4 years to do an album that other singers of her generation would took 2 weeks. That’s it!

    Nunca escutei algo tão ruim na vida.
    Minha tia não andava a meses e hoje levantou da cama só pra levantar e desligar a música.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
