    This time Olivia Rodrigo went so original that you can’t compare her songs with anyones. It kinda reminds of some rock artists, but still has one hundred percent of her personality. The personality of a girl teenager living thru love, fights, and the fears of real life.

    This new album is definitely a step forward for Olivia, demonstrating her incredible ability to write, but above all to express emotions, Nigro's production is still the best, the use of each instrument is incredible, and Rodrigo's voice is the perfect complement for those melodies, without a doubt we are in front of the big promise of the music industry.

    It does not bring a new sound to the Olivia experience. Yes more punk yet it heavily remind names like Baby Queen, Avril Lavigne and Paramore. However it still has the nice narrative element which carries the album again. Overall it is good but nothing new.

    Love it or hate it, this album is an evolution from SOUR, if you want an album with 6 boring ballads that two years later I find those 6 songs hard to comeback to, then SOUR is the album for you. This isn’t a full blown attack on SOUR because I think it’s a solid debut effort, but the stakes on GUTS are raised. If you’re basic and cannot handle electric guitars and some vocal growling then this album isn’t for you about 60% of the time. While there are some cues from Avril I find 90s alternative rock (something the critics love by the way, which is the REAL reason it’s been mostly praised.) to be the biggest influence. The opener “all-american **** is where the Avril Lavigne influence is most strongly felt, opening with a light and airy verse reminiscent of folk-pop, before blasting into a raging ****y chorus. Another highlight is “get him back!” which serves as a piece of highly catchy indie pop rock perfection. And even if you’re attached to SOUR brand of tedious piano ballads, cuts like logical and the grudge will scratch that itch. Overall a near perfect follow-up album to one of the most impressive debuts by a mainstream artist in recent memory.    … Expand

    She shows her great talent!! But this album is honestly monochromatic (like her cover arts) it has not offered anything new or surprising, and in doing so shes repeated the same sound over and over. Lyric wise its great, it accomplishes a lot and the message gets across perfectly. I think the best songs on the album are get him back! And the grudge. Lyric-wise making the bed.

    Almost a parallel to Sour, it's a good album with some great tracks (The two singles, All American..., Logical). Once again another album which will deservedly receive praise, but it's not a masterpiece and nobody will call this album a magnum opus. Her time will come though.

Unfortunately, I can’t give Rodrigo points for that which is a shame because it’s the best thing about the album - that honor goes to Daniel Nigro who once again does all the heavy lifting. Neither ambitious or particularly interesting. Olivia can sing but her lyrics leave a lot to be desired for anyone over the age of 15. It reads like someone who grew up being driven to charter school in a Lexus and got artisanal sandwiches for lunch. Olivia’s attempt to seem edgy comes off as SoCal phony. 4/10… Expand

    The vibes are the confessions of a teenage drama queen, punk acid anthems for sad girls & gays going through menstrual cramps, acne breakouts, SATs, and bullying all at once. Moreover, it gives borderline suicidal instrumentation f×××× up high school pop catfights melancholia. A lot of diaristic hormonal imbalance hooks ala Avril/Duff combo. Amazing comeback!

    Olivia Rodrigo is one of the most exciting things in pop music right Joe’s She has elevated her material since the debut album without changing direction completely. This is one of the best follow up albums ever and was always going to be difficult to compete with such a successful first era. Olivia’s contemporaries should be worried, next stop - album of the year at the Grammys.

    It’s fairly enjoyable. It has a few that I could listen more then once and put in a playlist but it feels kind of top heavy I enjoyed the first few tracks far more then the latter half overall not bad I could rate those few songs individually as 7s or 8s but as a whole with the songs I don’t prefer as much a 6 feed right.

    Concise lyricism and a committed/confident sound make this a fun and authentic album. Olivia knows what she’s doing with her vocals and is showing growth in both her sound and her maturity lyrically.

    Sell out hollywood slop. I got tricked into listening to this, I just spent the time trying to understand what they were trying to package and sell with this sound. It certainly doesn't sound like a real person or personality created this, it's probably all the usual Swedish women or Antonoff on the credits.

    Mixed bag. Some songs are so innovative like 'ballad of a homeschooled girl' and 'the grudge'. But other songs, she tries too hard to sound like Avril Lavigne. It's not that it's bad, it's just forgettable.

    Olivia should find her artistic identity. this album looks like a set of songs rejected by Levine and Gracie Abrams. The lyrics aren't good enough and Sour is better. The vocals are not on point

    This is the sound of a girl fully embracing her teen angst, but it is at a cost of repetitive tones and themes used throughout her intriguing and inviting sophomore album.

    Was really excited for guts as I loved sour, vampire and bad idea right are bangers obviously but all the new album tracks didn’t vibe with me, only ones I somewhat liked is lacy and teenage dream. Some tracks it was hard to even understand what she was saying. Definitely gunna keep listening and see if it grows on me but for now sour is still better

    “Teenage Dream” recycles a song title of Katy Perry’s and echoes a twisty-turny melody of Lana Del Rey’s. Yet Rodrigo’s emotional presence is so strong throughout “Guts” — so believable even at its most unrelatable — that you never lose the sense of a specific young person navigating a trial of her own making.

    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.
