    This album is horrid. Anyone who signs up with Disney is guaranteed to have the remainder of their career ruined. Props to Miley for being another worthless chapter in the corporate evolution of the music business. Bugger this, time for some OK Computer and Suburbs.

    Breakout isn’t fun enough or accomplished enough to really excite any segment of her fan base; rather, it’s just enjoyable enough and shows just enough flashes of maturation and skill to halt doubts regarding Cyrus’s future in the entertainment industry.

    Ugh. All this annoying obsession over some girl the record company picked up off the street and manufactured into a pop icon. Her music isn't about the music, it's about selling the performer to hoards of sheepish teenagers. I long for the day I can walk into a CVS and not see her face ten dozen times by the time I walk out.

    As Comic Book Guy would say:Worst Album Ever! She's even worse than Souja Boy. Don't buy the album,the only people who would buy it is the Disney Whore Fangirls. This Disney Whore don't have talent at all.She's the worst Disney Whore,so far since Britney Spears started it.

    I really, really thought about maybe giving this a one... it just doesn't deserve it. Maybe if you're a 12 or 13 year old girl you'll appreciate this... but just maybe.

    While it's still age-appropriate for minors, Breakout is for the big kids too.

    After all this fun, Breakout's second half gets overly ballad-heavy--guess that's where the growing up factors in--although, impressively, she's a dead ringer for the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines on the mournful 'These Four Walls.'

    For teen-pop (despite what Annie Leibovitz would have us believe, Miley is only 15, after all), your kid could do worse.
