    The new tracks feel particularly crisp and cohesive, easily her most captivating and keenly focused record yet.

    Unlike her previous album Younger Now, where Cyrus dabbled in a rootsier sound without much substance, she actually has a lot to say on Plastic Hearts.

    Passionate and self-aware, Plastic Hearts is easily the finest incarnation of Cyrus' music yet.

    “Plastic Hearts” just makes sense of the hard and the soft, the pop and the country, the gruff and the sweet in a way that no other Cyrus album has before in its entirety.

    Cyrus has always been more interesting — eclectic, provocative, upending expectations — as a public figure than as a musician. But on songs like “Midnight Sky”, Cyrus has found a sonic mode where listeners can more fully hear her distinctive voice and unruly perspective. Like her hero Elvis Presley perhaps, Plastic Hearts proves that Cyrus can be derivative and still be an original.

    Stepping confidently into her “rock era,” Miley offers a genuinely pleasing, though sometimes hamfisted record that staves off the awkwardness and missteps that plagued her previous albums.

    The songwriting here is just not very good. And even when the referential tracks are fairly decent, they only would have been minor entries of their era. Shades of Madonna and Avril can’t disguise that there’s no distinguished personality here.

This genre of music suits Miley so much, and collaborations with rock legends like Billy Idol and Joan Jett just make this album heaven. Songs like 'Give me what I want' and 'Hate me" are my absolute favourites! In my opinion, this is definitely the album of the year!… Expand

    The Evolution. She has evolved into her final form and nailed her sound. It’s raw. Gritty. Soulful. Nostalgic. She is Miley Cyrus.
