    How did she go from the excellence of TMYLM to... something so underwhelming? I really wanted to like this but I'm disappointed. Besides MHLN, which is a masterpiece, everything is lacklustre. TMYLM > HWGA > Unbroken > DWTD > Demi > Don't Forget

    La verdad lo siente muy básico, las sonidos aburren demasiado, ya es hora de reinventarse

    Muito ruim , péssimo, parece descartes do poisitions e changes. A cantora não se reinventa e sempre trás o mesmo

    really generic lyrics over really tired and generic production, this kind of gives me a cringe feeling the lyrics are so poor.

    dancing with the devil... the art of starting over was the album I listened to the most this year. I still listen to a lot of it every day, it's such a good and complete album, demi lovato's best work so far. I'm proud to be a fan of someone as talented as demi is musically.

    This album is a little bit underwhelming and boring. The songs are incohesive also.

    Bad album. Boring as expected. Made no noise as deserved. She should focus on her music instead of shading other artists.

    Demi's work follows a vicious cycle. How can you sell an intimate and personal job with 13 producers doing her job?And none of the songs were written entirely by her. It is poor, desperate and disheartening to hear a scream

    Great album. Hope she continues with quality music, and actually starts over and put her past behind her.

    Horrível, não tem coerência sonora, muito menos lírica. Tão decepcionado. Ela não tem uma direção artística boa

    Aburrídisimo. No contiene ninguna canción que sea inolvidable. Más bien se convierte en algo interminable de escuchar, tanto que solo deseas que sea la última canción.

    I was expecting more from Demi after years of waiting for her new album this album is the same as the last ones , singing about the same issues and she still over-singing .. she has a powerful voice but her screams in the whole album make it hard to enjoy it ..

    Muy malo, no merece tener un 9.3 de la audiencia siendo un album tan soso y pop basico y sin magia como este.

    Lovato's frankness is disarming, forcing a listener to reckon with the depths of the singer's distinction, yet the album works best when it veers toward lighter territory, letting the slick R&B rhythms and sugared hooks carry Lovato's emoting.

    Dancing With the Devil… The Art of Starting Over is Demi Lovato like we have never heard before. She is sassy and carefree while serious about her identity and personhood in a way she has been itching to be for years.

    The opening three tracks are almost an EP in their own right, before a quick reset. Semi title track ‘The Art Of Starting Over’ begins anew, a straight forward bop that gets to the root of Demi’s recovery – her natural talent, her ear for pop magic, affording room for personal renewal.
