    My God - she’s given us her magnum opus. An album for the ages. A strong listen front to back, varied but cohesive. Vocally she’s never sounded better or more at home. Production is off the charts. Stylistically there’s a consistent breezy, hazy sophistication to it with an undercurrent of psychedelic pop-rock and New Wave (a lingering legacy from the masterpiece that was Plastic Hearts).My God - she’s given us her magnum opus.

    O álbum apresenta uma conexão interessante entre conceito estético e material, trazendo a essência etérea do verão em duas narrativas: AM, com faixar que focam na camada superficial do conforto e das emoções, em grande parte positivas, e PM, que captura sentimentos menos "puros" como incertezas, sexualidade e raiva.

    As referências sonoras vieram da própria carreira da Miley, o que também contribuiu com a coesão artística, que me surpreendeu bastante. Temos elementos rock do Plastic Hearts, experimentais do Dead Petz, pop do Bangerz e até country do Younger Now. Ela conseguiu unir tudo em um disco produzido que, mesmo não sendo agressivo como seus anteriores, apresenta surpresas ao longo de seu percurso.    … Expand

    "Endless Summer Vacation" is a powerful, self-reflect album. It feels like an evolution of Miley's eras. I'm so thrilled that people are finally expressing good energy and supporting Miley for how she is, not for what she wears or her past. Songs like Island, River, and Flowers show how mature she is now. My only complaint is that there's not a self-titled song.

    The cohesive album I’ve heard in a few years. It’s not trying to be anything, it is Miley in her final form: fiercely unapologetic. You’ll get whatever she wants you to get. She’s not trying to shed an image, prove her adulthood or appeal to her critics. And now more than ever, you hear the sincerity and authenticity that attracts you to Miley’s shine.

    Cyrus has matured her sound more and more, and now she shows her full potential in endless summer vacation. He manages to transmit his soul into the project, managing to rescue his past in a sweet way, but also his vigor as an artist. The tracks show how his maturation brought even more talent and insight. This is definitely your best work.

Just like BBC said, she is the "ultimate pop star of the 21st Century", and 'Endless Summer Vacation' can prove you that. Definitely, a 10/10. An album for all tastes. One of the most intelligents and creative records from this decade, standing with 'Future Nostalgia' and 'SAWAYAMA'.… Expand

    Wow this album is phenomenal. Miley was able to incorporate all her past selves into a cohesive body of work with top notch production. At the same time, she is coming on strong as a new version of herself. The chameleonic miss Cyrus never fails to disappoint when experimenting with new genes, something that many other mainstream pop artist have yet to achieve or master.

    This is the new shape of Miley Cyrus. She is always bring something else in the game. And this album has zero skip. Muddy Feet and River has stronf pieces. Violet Chemistry is the POP song you want to listen for long time. Jaded, Island and Wildcard growing super fast everytime you listening. But Handstand is another level of pop perfection.

    Superb and cohesive body of work for such a young yet mature artist. It's been a long journey through multiple genes, but she's finally found her footing and made a perfect mix of it all.

    This album belongs to the type of music that leaves a bold mark on the stage of emotional being and shapes a persons mood for the next couple of weeks from the first full listen. Highly recommend ESV to people who are struggling with letting the worries go for even a moment to just have an ounce of pure fun.

    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.
