    I think this album is too diffirent than Sour.
    And I love this New style too.

    O álbum parece mais uma continuação do Sour do que um álbum próprio. Criativamente falando, não houve nenhuma mudança.

    SOOOOOO GOOD BEST ALBUM OF ALL TIME i love it so much, best work ever, the quality of EACH AND EVERY song is insane. The songs are so diverse which is what makes an album really good. The lyrics are really hard hitting and they are so poetic and genius. The meaningful and special lyrics and an extra splash on greatness to the songs.

    Really different from sour and more mature. I love the rock sound on it, she is doing something different than everyone in the industry right now and that is why she is already become a gen a iconic.

    The songs are often forgettable and Olivia is either screaming at you or boring you with a basic ballad. Although I must point out that some songs are very unique and bring a musical standing from a time very influenced by teen rock. Songs like Bad Idea Right? and Get Him Back! Aren't like anything you would hear on today's pop radio.

Otherwise the rest of the album just doesn't connect or hit as hard with me. Sorry, but SOUR is the superior album. I still find myself going back to that album and recalling what a pop rock phonomen that album was. Even at it's slower moments it hit hard with it's deep cutting lyrics. I can not say the same for the songs on GUTS. But only time will tell if this album grows on me. However, not a memorable album.… Expand

Después salieron canciones que los primeros 10 segundos sentía que no me gustarían pero gracias a la letra tan realista y voz de Olivia me hicieron volverla a amar la canción, cosa que esta bien pero es algo a destacar. Este álbum es una ola de emociones e intensidad. Sientes como lentamente de pasar a canciones poderosas y de enojo desciendes a las canciones mas crudas y realistas posibles. Me encanto esa sensación.… Expand

    Genuinely such a basic album. Not only basic, but it just sounds bad. Every song feels the same, and most of them feel like they were made to go straight to a 2000 teenage film.

    The Grudge is easily the best song on this album. Logical and Love is embarrassing are also standouts. And the two released singles are catchy enough (I liked Vampire, Bad Idea Right i didn't like but hearing it everywhere has made it grow on me). So that's five songs out of 12... everything else on the album unfortunately is a skip for me. Too bad, I was hoping for a stronger showing.

    because she's single handedly bringing back the 200s teenage pop rock vibes. All American **** is 'THE JAM' because the scream in the reharsal version was just so godly my ears eargasmed. And she just knows how to end an album because teenage dream will have you in tears. I can already smell that Album Of the Year coming. Give her all the awards. Take all my money Rodrigo cause you are amazing!    … Expand

    Incredibly mature sophomore album. Olivia Rodrigo demonstrates her staying power with a dynamic sound that makes you feel like the main character in a coming of age indie film. Diverse sounds from start to finish, cheeky lyrics, and a rollercoaster of emotions in this one. 10/10

    GUTS es, con diferencia, uno de los mejores álbumes del año! Olivia Rodrigo sigue mostrándonos sus momentos más íntimos, con los que nos identificamos y conectamos

    “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.

    These songs show that Rodrigo isn’t done after GUTS.
