    Rare is one of the best albums ever released. Selena has shown artistry, growth, versatility, talent and creativity. This album deserves to be rated 100 for its meaning and really translating feeling into music, in a way that sounds good. Other artists need to take notes.

    This is what I’ve been waiting for. Not only as someone who appreciates her work but as a pop music enthusiast. Her best work HANDS down! I love how she tries to experiment new sounds but it still has that "thing" that is proper to her. Seriously, no skips at all. And what i appreciate the most is that there are songs for every mood you’re in. 10/10, perfect.

    This album is so coherent and her most personal album yet - it's basically an album where you can dance and reflect on the lyrics at the same time. Miss Gomez did THAT!

    It feels like Selena Gomez grew up. Not caring about charts, opening up about depression, anxiety and the truest form of ended love and its bad chapters. Mature sounds!

    The album isn’t bad, it’s average. I think it’s cohesive in the sense that the songs flow, but they only flow because a lot of them sound very similar and very empty. The songs that are less electronic pop are the ones that stand out and the ones that contain those electronic elements fade to the background due to the lackluster sounds and production.

    No, this album is not a masterpiece. It sounds almost like the same song for its 41 minutes of horror. I guess the only decent moment that this project containts, besides its ending, is the song "Rare". I can't believe that THIS needed +20 writers...

    Truly disappointed, Selena can do better even tho she’s not a vocalist or a great singer. The most important thing is that she needs to move on from Justin and write about other staff ( if she actually writes)

    This album was pretty mediocre. As I would expect from an “artist” who cannot even sing. People are saying the album is cohesive but it really isn’t, most songs just sound exactly the same. I’m a bit surprised that it took her four years to release this because it honestly sounds like it took her a week.

    I love Selena but this album is so underwhelming. She has so much potential but let’s it go to waste by making very forgettable pure pop songs. Yes, they’re “bops” but nothing on that album is really standing out. A step back from Revival.

    Mediocre, EXTREMELY mediocre. She has no versatility and can only use the subject of her ex for every. single. song. as a way to even begin to chart at all. She's a sub par artist at best and this album shows that. Please, I don't even understand why ya'll even give her a seat at the table that is the music industry when she doesn't deserve it :/

    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.
