    GUTS sees Rodrigo smash her way out of the confines of small screen life and arrive kicking and screaming into her real life. No more red lights or stop signs in her way.

    Her excellent new Guts is another instant classic, with her most ambitious, intimate, and messy songs yet. Olivia’s pop-punk bangers are full of killer lines (“I wanna meet your mom, just to tell her her son sucks”) but she pushes deeper in powerful ballads like “Logical.” All over Guts, she’s so witty, so pissed off, so angsty at the same time, the way only a rock star can be. And this is the album of a truly brilliant rock star.

    GUTS is emphatic proof that Rodrigo isn't just good for a kid -- she's grown into an artist with plenty of things to say, and the confidence and eloquence to say them her way.

    GUTS is a brash, sobering look at the totality of fame on a young woman—how it consumes, abuses and isolates.

    A collection of bratty rocker-chick anthems and soul-searching ballads that could slot into the soundtrack of any classic high school flick, from 10 Things I Hate About You to this year’s ludicrous queer sex comedy Bottoms.

    Guts is an immensely confident and assured record which confirms that Olivia Rodrigo is here for the long-term.
  7. 60
    Unfortunately, most of Guts sounds like a simple continuation of Sour – there is little musical growth or thematic change, with Making the Bed and Pretty Isn’t Pretty seeming like mere overhangs from her debut

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FIRST LISTEN: I think I prefer the first listen of SOUR. I'll know it on a later listen.
    Musically, I think the song is more mature. Overall, lyrically it hasn't changed much. or There's a lot of room to grow and I'm looking forward to it.
