    "The Time of Our Lives" is the best EPAlbum that Miley Cyrus ever published. Each song has it's own speciality and greatness. It may match teenagers and less, but everyone who loves commercial pop would be amused. A definite 10.

    It is one of the best things that I have ever listen. It still sound so powerful by the years. When it is over, you want it more and more. Cyrus did a really great job here, as always.

    This 'album' shows a turning point in Miley, as we don't notice the usual 'kiddish' style in her songs. Therefore, I think it shows how Miley is maturing as she grows along. Not to mention that the songs are just awesome and uplifting with their sizzling beats, suitable lyrics and diversified genres.

    Miley's Album or EP is definitely good. "When I Look at You" is the best track on the album and shows Miley's softer side. Songs like "Party in the USA" and "The Time of Our Lives" are the songs to get up and dance to

    None of it stands out, and it probably won't win Cyrus anymore awards, but overall, it's an adequately classy, charming teen-pop album that all the tweens will go crazy over. Its standout tracks are "Party in the USA", the album's lead single, and "The Time Of Our Lives", a cutesy track for the kiddies.

    This is a great album, whether you enjoy 'Disney' artists or not; Miley's vocals sound good and production is quite varied while still remaining cohesive throughout the album. It's a bit annoying that people still hate on someone's music just because they don't care for the person though. Seriously, I'm not saying Miley is a good person, but her music is This is a great album, whether you enjoy 'Disney' artists or not; Miley's vocals sound good and production is quite varied while still remaining cohesive throughout the album.

    The Time Of Our Lives doesn't stand out in any kind of way, but somehow, it's slightly effective. While I disagree with Cyrus's use of the word "piss" -- considering she's still a tween star -- the album certainly gives her younger fans something to dance to, with pop rock tracks such as "Kicking and Screaming" and "The Time Of Our Lives", and power ballad favorite "When I Look At You".The Time Of Our Lives doesn't stand out in any kind of way, but somehow, it's slightly effective.

"Party in the USA" is the album's lead single and standout track, which proves to us that Cyrus is musically gifted. Expand

    The songs, per se, are genuinely nice. Cyrus did quite a good job singing, that's for sure. However, the album is a little bit too much to take. There is a thin line between singing and shouting for no reason, and she crossed it. Yes, we know you are a wonderful singer and you work very hard. But there is absolutely no need for you to shout all the time to prove it to us. Try sing likeThe songs, per se, are genuinely nice. Cyrus did quite a good job singing, that's for sure.

    This EP shows her amazing, incredible vocals better than her other albums. Miley has an incredible voice and I think these songs show how good she is.

    I really like dancing to Party In the USA. The Climb, When I Look At You and Before the Storm make me feel so good and calm me down when I'm bad. I can't stop listening to them. I'm not into Time of Our Lives and Talk Is Cheap. The rock of Kicking and Screaming is powerful but it's strange from Cyrus. I love this EP

    Miley did her best with this. The songs are perfectly written, constructed, and is generally a great EP. The highlights of this EP is a beautiful country ballad "When I Look At You". It expresses her feelings towards her then boyfriend Liam Hemsworth

    An EP full of smash hits. Well written and well produced. It's amazing! From ''Party In The USA'' to ''The Climb''. She's ahaid from her peers and all of her albums show that.

    She was still in Disney but it's not bad as I though and I think I kinda like it.

    This is a decent authentic album of teen pop. A star singing infectious songs to her young listeners. A perfect job for the target audience. Miley Cyrus is ready on this album. With each music the expectation increases and it is positively possible to listen to the end

    Lackluster, formless teen pop with no value at all. Really disappointing Ep that cant be really useful for anything at alll as it's commercial impact is weak and it's critical one even worse.

    The Albums a great follow up to Breakout, still focuses on Pop Rock oriented songs like kicking and screaming party in the USA and talk is cheap, while leaning a little more poppy with the title track and goes for ballads such as when I look at you, Obsessed and Before the storm, An amazing follow up to a good album the year before

    O melhor EP da Miley contendo músicas alegres e tristes ao mesmo tempo, além do hit Party in the U.S.A.

  1. Cyrus has always sounded older than her years, and as she leaves her teens, that's a good thing--especially since The Time of Our Lives shows her music is catching up to her pipes.
  2. The Time Of Our Lives is a great pop EP drowning in a sea of bilge.
  3. An eclectic Walmart-only mini-album, Cyrus works her ?husky chirp over big-beat disco-garage (''Talk Is Cheap''), paranoid synth-rock (''Kicking and Screaming''), and ?Les Miz-style power balladry (''Obsessed'').
