    In Manic, Halsey explores uncharted territory with deep insights on her life, detailing on her love life, her mind and even harsher topics like motherhood and family life.

    Disappointed with the album... Manic is possibly halsey worst album to date. manic was the worst **** album i’ve ever heard. out of every artist out of every album u have fully listened to. manic is the worse album i’ve ever heard. All the singles are basic and trash

    It is simply and without a doubt her best album up to date. She is at her most confessional state in this album and it really helps us identify with her, given that we are all people and that she talks about love and loss, feelings and choices to which we can all relate. I hope she continues thriving and evolving, giving us more artistic songs, exactly like the ones of this magnificent album.

    I totally respect everyone's opinions but this album is just so real and pure that it's kinda safe to say anyone who gave it a less than 5 didn't even understand the concept of the album.

All her music is different and the reason why some don't like Manic is because they are comparing it with badlandsI totally respect everyone's opinions but this album is just so real and pure that it's kinda safe to say anyone who gave it a less than 5 didn't even understand the concept of the album.

    I was a big fan of Halsey’s previous albums, that said, I won’t be listening to this again. I understand this album was not meant to be cohesive and was meant to be music in a manic form... Before the album came out, I was truly hoping for some kind of Kanye-like rise from the ashes and some bops while getting emotionally intimate, but this really fell short for me.

    The lyrics were sometimes infantile, sometimes forced. Sometimes fine and forgettable, but not at all something I felt that giddiness in my chest for. It just felt like whining with a side of pettiness, and a minor sprinkling of self awareness as a shield for bad behavior. Very disappointed.    … Expand

    El álbum tiene un toque tan único de ella. Realmente se nota que es una pieza demasiado personal, estoy sorprendido, aunque, a decir verdad, me hubiera gustado que agregara "Nightmare", ya que podía entrelazarse con "3 am".

    acho que esse álbum mostra muito a visão da Halsey sobre si mesma lidando com relacionamentos e situações pessoais. O Badlands e o HFK têm universos completamente distintos, assim como o Manic. Pessoalmente, o álbum não me decepcionou, e sinto que as músicas estão mais intimistas e honestas. Amo ver uma artista de verdade se desenvolvendo.

    Manic’s ambition cannot be denied - nor can the importance of the message it delivers, nor can Halsey’s great talent, nor can the heart that is put into a work like this. However the album starts and ends on its weakest tracks, leaving the middle a more engaging and impressive pop album and resulting in an overall mixed bag of an experience.

However the album starts and ends on its weakest tracks, leaving the middle a more engaging and impressive pop album and resulting in an overall mixed bag of an experience. But despite its disappointments and missteps, when the album is good it’s very good - the exceptional punk-pop anthem “3AM” which takes us back to the early 2000s; the brilliant lead single “Without Me”; and the dreamy pop-rap of “SUGA’s Interlude.” Other highlights include the sparkling “More” and Alanis Morissette’s emotive guest appearance.… Expand

    Opening your feelings to someone is hard as hell. Now, imagine expressing yourself and explain your emotions and thoughts for an audience of millions of people, which are able to judge and criticize. It is a very smart and mature move for anyone. Thus, Halsey has decided to open her heart to anyone who'll listen; millions of people in her case.
    Halsey has made a very enjoyable and    Opening your feelings to someone is hard as hell. Now, imagine expressing yourself and explain your emotions and thoughts for an audience of millions of people, which are able to judge and criticize. It is a very smart and mature move for anyone. Thus, Halsey has decided to open her heart to anyone who'll listen; millions of people in her case.
    Halsey has made a very enjoyable and relatable album full of deep personal lyrics that can reach out to anyone. Everyone could empathize with the singer and this album; you only have to have the willingness to listen to the chaotic emotional roller-coaster that is Halsey's life. Billie Eilish once said during her teenage years that "everyone I know in the music industry is fuc*ing sad". Thus, Ashley focuses on her most personal life, on bad loving, ex-lovers and how hard it is to deal with fame and loneliness. The singer has been able to write a 16 track album that resumes how she has felt emotionally during the three years, since the release of her previous album. She has been able to talk as Ashley, the most honest version of herself, the true one. I can hear Halsey singing thoughout the album and Ashley screaming in the background, hoping to be heard by the pop star. Manic definitely is a chaotic amalgamation of self-analysis, rage, depression, ecstasy, and growth that sees its creator managing the messiness of fame while trying to stay true to herself.
    The message is amazing and so is the music that accompanies it. A perfect mix of traditional pop assorted with the newest trends in the industry: low electronic R&B filled with an acoustic guitar and a little bit of notorious autotune.
    In conclusion, combining heartbreak with a journey to self-love, the album feels like entering the mind of a bipolar person: chaotic and relaxed at the same time. It is an album to cry of sadness and of joy. Manic will for sure be remembered as one of the best and most interesting albums to be released in recent memory by a female pop act.    … Expand

    The fact that Halsey's albums are always unique and different makes Manic a masterpiece, the lyrics are out of this world and the sounds are just amazing. With this album she brings the Punk-Pop-Rock again with songs like 3AM and Alanis' Interlude

    Dinamic, there’s one song that remember me to Avril Lavigne style, but mixed with Lady Gaga “you & I”.

    Cohesive, amazing lyrics. Sonically the album outstanding, there isn't a single bad song. All of the songs are so good. I could tell that this was going to be her best album and one of the best albums of the year just by the songs she released.

    Mientras iba sacando los singles promocionales me gustaban y esperaba mucho del álbum, pero en sí las canciones nuevas no me gustaron tanto :(

    Manic is the most beautifully cohesive body of work Halsey has released. It is chaotic, yet soft and reflective. It seems to find this middle ground of the intricate lyricism Badlands had, combined with clean & crisp production Hopeless Fountain Kingdom brought to the table.

    Halsey has never been more honest as she gets rid of all the fake personas and theatrical concepts. Manic is about Ashley and all of her detailed descriptions and reflections on herself and her feelings. With tears in my eyes I can say this is the best and most vulnerable album of 2020

    Manic is a very lyrically cohesive album, with a diverse and heterogeneous aesthetic sound, and earns points for Halsey's maturity in relation to her own aesthetics and, albeit full of small slips and some choices that don't fit within the album's organicity like the interludes, most of the songs advance toward a beautiful, self-sufficient sensory dream that captivates us from the first note.

    sem dúvidas esse é o melhor álbum da Halsey ou melhor, da Ashley. acredito que nesse trabalho ela conseguiu trazer suas experiências pessoais com mais força, fazendo referências a infância em batidas suaves, Halsey também utiliza do country e do rock para compor a atmosfera brilhante e emocional do "manic". usando da voz como principal elemento, nunca tinha visto esse lado tão forte esem dúvidas esse é o melhor álbum da Halsey ou melhor, da Ashley. acredito que nesse trabalho ela conseguiu trazer suas experiências pessoais com mais força, fazendo referências a infância em batidas suaves, Halsey também utiliza do country e do rock para compor a atmosfera brilhante e emocional do "manic". usando da voz como principal elemento, nunca tinha visto esse lado tão forte e delicado da artista.… Expand

    This is undoubtedly her best album yet. It is stripped down and simple in its instrumentation yet beautifully complex and honest in its lyricism.

    This album is a masterpiece, truly cohesive and coherent. Each track seamlessly flows into the other, there is no evidence of discombobulation or disparity, despite most of the tracks belonging to different genres. Manic truly cements Halsey’s places as one of the best lyricists of our generation, with such as beautiful and versatile voice to go along with her ingenuity.

Manic truly cements Halsey’s places as one of the best lyricists of our generation, with such as beautiful and versatile voice to go along with her ingenuity. None of the tracks felt out of place, and there is something for everyone within this album, most people will probably relate to it one way or another. Possibly the best release of 2020 uptil now, and Halsey’s finest work, which is saying alot, considering how great HFK and Badlands were. Everyone should give it a listen, they won’t be disappointed.… Expand

    Es un álbum demasiado bueno, lo único malo es que se vuelve un poco aburrido conforme lo vas escuchando, empezamos con Ashley, ella supo cómo abrir el álbum y lo hizo bien, Graveyard es una de las mejores canciones del álbum en cuanto a letra y sonido.

    Freighted by unflinching lyrics, Manic is a magnificent - and magnificently raw - pop confessional. [Apr 2020, p.110]

    The real problem is that the best ideas are outvoted by frustrating ones, leaving us with little touches like the short, yelping-like sound in the second verse of More or the distorted vocals that end killing boys. There are some good moments here, but even the best of them can’t help Halsey get out of her own way.

    Manic is a rich and often confounding listen, an expansive album filled to the brim with the imagined worlds Halsey’s built for herself in the real one. It’s also sincerely, indefatigably Halsey: She puts her loves and ambitions on wholly earnest display, even if it doesn’t always make for the most consistent listen.
