    I personally think this is the best album of 2019, it has got so many good songs on the tracklist, and the vocals are so majestic.

    How did this album score an 86, exactly? Will someone please explain that to me? I'm sure I'm not the only one who's genuinely curious. This album is definitely NOT a B+.

When she IS singing about something meaningful (Needy), her tone is still so breathy and sexy that it ruins the atmosphere of the whole song.… Expand

    Para mí el mejor album de Ariana. Cohesivo, fresco, divertido. Todo lo que necesitaba el pop en estos tiempos para revivir. La única que siempre paso es 7 rings pero luego el disco es mi favorito de principio a fin.

    Um álbum com letras e melodias incríveis. Grande descreve suas experiências de vida muito bem nesse álbum inteligentemente produzido.

    Notice how every bad review comes from people who gave a 10 to Rare or Lover. Lmao they are just pressed of Ariana's success. Not my fave album but she really went in there. She transformed depression into beautiful songs. Not like Selena, whose songs aren't just written by hers and are generic, basic pop. If at least she knew how to sing...

    When Ariana released 'thank u, next' only half a year after 'Sweetener', as a stan I was like "WOAH!"
    However, on first listen, I did not like this album as much as Sweetener. After a year has passed, thank u, next is her second best album, behind Sweetener. My only issue with this album is that it feels like her most formulaic album since My Everything.

    I will always cherish the Sweetner/TUN era of her career (April 2018-December 2019), even more since I got to see her for the first time on the Sweetener Tour last June.    … Expand

    This record has had my heart. It is extremely cohesive: every song on the album unfolds and conveys (sometimes rebelliously) the pain of a breakup but at the same time Ariana affirms her strength and is up to searching new feelings.

    Ariana Grande came with an album exploring pop, r & b and trap, giving a very good sound, even the ghostin part, which is the most unnecessary part of the album.

    The album is good since his voice is unique but many songs are too long for me. My favorite songs are 7 rings thank u next and break up with your girlfriend. Production is pretty good and I think it deserves more than 86

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
