    Ariana Grande clearly saw that she was a sucess with "sweteener" and made a new album in hurry, trying to make the same success with the new one. But it happens that "thank u, next" it's a really annoying album and much inferior to his predecessor.
    "7 Rings", "Break Up With Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored", "Needy" and "Thank U, Next" are great songs indeed.

    With thank u, next, Ariana create a kind and absolutely genius album, with tons of sample that don't take away the essence of the album. One of the best candidates for Album of The Year.

    paid critics. kudos to her 500 battalion of writers and producers she was able to release some good songs. other than that, generic, repetitive pop machine

    Full of copied tracks! It gives me the vibes of 1989 of Taylor Swift. 7 Rings is lyrically awful. The title track, 'Thank u next!', is a straight scrap from the rejected songs of Avril Lavigne. Such a mediocre album!

    Sonically, this got to be the worst album i have ever heard. The beats are all over the place, grande's gibberish vocals make it even worse. If this is the direction she is heading towards in the future, im utterly dissapointed.

    Thank u next is for sure the album of ariana’s career and is filled with tracks filled with emotion and personal items. Six months have past and it continues to be fresh.

    After I first heard This album I knew it would be her best. Incredible start with the melancholic Imagine and finishing with the fun and dancing BUWYGIB. Aged like fine wine for sure.

    A masterpiece. I’ve been a fan of ariana since 2013 and this is certainly her best album. Ghostin and Needy are a must listen for y’all.

    It's hard to take this as an authentic album if the singer is not thd songwriter - beautiful voice though when you can understand her

    yeah "cute" album too bad she can't write songs so what's the point of listening to songs that aren't hers?

    This album is good, but not her best, all songs like the same, the "trap/rap" beat is repetitive. Expected more.

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    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.
