    It's a nice project, nothing special though. Coming from a Plastic Hearts, I expected her to go above and beyond, but it was a downgrade.

    Handstand, Jaded and Violet Chemistry are my favourites.

    The lyrics are not that ambitious, I appreciate the effort of bringing some lost beats from the 2000, but they were also not used as good

    Very uninspiring. Not what you would expect after "Flowers", which would have been an unapologetic and empowering project. The narrative here is "i don't need men because I can buy my self flowers" on the first song and "I realy miss and need my man" for pretty much the rest of the album.

    Endless Summer Vacation's heart is in the right place. While I can appreciate some of the production and some of its cohesion, the album still as a whole feels underwhelming.

    With an album title and cover that envokes a sense of carefreeness, the lyrial content is far from it. The opening track has Cyrus opining that she is happier and better off without her former love. As the album    Endless Summer Vacation's heart is in the right place. While I can appreciate some of the production and some of its cohesion, the album still as a whole feels underwhelming.

    With an album title and cover that envokes a sense of carefreeness, the lyrial content is far from it. The opening track has Cyrus opining that she is happier and better off without her former love. As the album progresses, Cyrus can't seem to shake the idea of her ex-lover. Partnered with some shakey production, this project feels repetitive and lacking in substance.

    Tracks such as Rose Colored Lenses, You, and Violet Chemistry are far from standouts, but amongst this cacophony they are certainly some of the highs. Ultimately, this album needed more revision and thought before its release. However, I have no doubt Cyrus can bounce back in no time.    … Expand

    IDK the songs are ok I guess but looking at the bb charts with Flowers getting top 3 by radio alone? Over 100 million spins on radio. How much did her record label pay to get those numbers? I think that´s the definition of chart manipulation and she doesn´t need it, she is very freaking talented to fall for those tactics.

    I don't understand why the score here is so high, this album is so boring and bland...

    Na média, faltou um pouco de essência, um pouco de tempero. Plastic Hearts continua sendo o melhor da carreira dela.

    Miley, du bist wirklich ein altes Ding geworden, heute fasst dich keiner mehr mit der Kneifzange an. Das Album ist gut produziert, du sprichst aber nur mit dir selbst.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. El álbum en general tiene sonidos frescos y retros que hacen que el público en general lo recuerde como algo que ya se ha escuchado antes. Una estrategia muy usada en la actualidad para poder perseverar en el mercado. Las letras son buenas pero la mayoría son algo planas y sosas, pero es de los mejores trabajos de Cyrus.… Expand

    She really disappointed us with this album, she messed up the production, she could've created an album like plastic hearts but more rock or something like bangerz 2.0 not this "endless summer vacation"

    Cyrus is undoubtedly a fantastic singer, but this new album lacks a distinguished style. It's hardly memorable.

    The album did not match its predecessor's cohesive concept and sound. It felt more like something Miley could've done early in her career.

    Acho um pouco hypado demais, certamente a voz da Miley combina com esse novo estilo mas achei as faixas pouco memoráveis.

    Her singing is vivid enough on “Endless Summer Vacation” to make up for some mushy songwriting here and there.

    Cyrus will probably never settle on just one or two sounds to express herself, but her voice and vision are strong enough on Endless Summer Vacation to suggest she'll never need to.

    Not the sundazed party record that was promised but an exploration of how it feels when the party’s over.
