    não acho q é melhor álbum dela, mas ainda daria uns 8. dando dez pra equilibrar com as notas q os haters deram de propósito pra média ficar baixa. a ariana entregou bastante emoção nesse álbum, seguindo o mesmo sentido do sweetener, mas agora ela parece menos esperançosa em relação aos sentimentos.

    thank u, next is brilliant & shows that moving on through art is a healthy expression of feelings. Through the emotional lyrics of ghostin, the confession in needy, and the flirty/fun vibes of 7 rings & buwygf shows that Ariana is a diverse talent :)

    el álbum nos muestra el nivel de madures de ariana grande que logro reflejar todos sus problemas en excelentes letras así como combinarlos con ritmos muy comerciales dándonos bops como 7 rings
    y baladas como NEDDY y GHOSTIN

    Thank u next is an album full of pop bops. There are ZERO collaborations, with 23 co-writers. This spawned hits such as thank u next, 7 rings and break up with your girlfriend, I'm bored. This is one of those rare albums I can go through without skipping.

    There is a BIG difference between tun and sweetener. Finally pharrell isnt producing, max martin is. Great album full of hits.

    A mi se me hace un álbum extraordinario y no lo digo porque soy su fan, si no porque todo el álbum tiene alma, describe sus experiencias de una manera única, nueva, innovadora, aparte, logró hacer este álbum con tan sólo 6 meses, así que este álbum merece una calificación más alta que 8.6

    This album is a huge increment on comparation with her other projects, from her now amazing and beautiful vocals in ghostin or needy, til her versatility with 7 rings, this album is cohesive with a great production from Ilya, Max, Savan and Tommy. The most personal project at the date, no doubt this could winning album of the year at the Grammys, a great competition to Norman **** Rockwell.

    thank u, next is a very cohesive album, where Ariana explores and shows her talent and vocal techniques. It is all that I’ve expected from her as an artist since she started with her music carreer. With this album she established herself as an A-list artist as it reinserts pop music at the top of charts after quite a long time.

    What an AMAZING album.... It's not only my favorite of her albums, but my favorite from any singer. It's not only full of catchy songs, but most of them have a meaning about especially her live, whether it's about the problems of being fame or how hard relationships can be (or ending them(RIP Mac Miller))

    It’s an album that reflects real situations and emotions, that everyone has experienced. ‘thank u, next’ becomes a great next chapter for Ariana, complementing ‘Sweetener’ as a perfect closure.
    ‘thank u, next’ makes you suspect that Ariana's best work is yet to come.

    This album is one of the best I’ve heard by any artist so far. It’s very diverse and explains a story that many people can relate to. It has different genres implemented in every song ranging between trap, pop and ballads. It’s a Grammy-deserving work of art.

    En mi opinión este es el 2do mejor álbum de Ariana Grande, considerando a Dangerous Woman en el 1er puesto, como todo álbum pop tiene ritmos adictivos teniendo de ejemplo a "bloodline, 7 rings, break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" los cuales me encantan porque me hacen bailar, olvidarme de los problemas y seguir adelante con la vida sobre todo con ritmo, pero sabemos que la música popEn mi opinión este es el 2do mejor álbum de Ariana Grande, considerando a Dangerous Woman en el 1er puesto, como todo álbum pop tiene ritmos adictivos teniendo de ejemplo a "bloodline, 7 rings, break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" los cuales me encantan porque me hacen bailar, olvidarme de los problemas y seguir adelante con la vida sobre todo con ritmo, pero sabemos que la música pop es usado como medio comercial para vender más y al volvernos adictos a esto, es posible presentar aburrimiento a otras expresiones artísticas y no ganar riqueza en cuanto al vocabulario.

She transformed depression into beautiful songs. Not like Selena, whose songs aren't just written by hers and are generic, basic pop. If at least she knew how to sing...

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
