    her best album. nothing to say. she has grown up from that sh*t called sweetener. i really love the most part of the lyrics, the sounds maybe are just a lil basic but not that much and there aren’t skip. a really good job

    This is one of the best pop albums of the decade, and the best album of Ariana’s career. Ariana finally put true emotion in her music. The production is so clean. It’s depressing, but it gives you a sense of release.

    A mi se me hace un álbum extraordinario y no lo digo porque soy su fan, si no porque todo el álbum tiene alma, describe sus experiencias de una manera única, nueva, innovadora, aparte, logró hacer este álbum con tan sólo 6 meses, así que este álbum merece una calificación más alta que 8.6

    One of the most emotional and pure album to date but i found disappointing to put songs like 7 rings in the same project even if it's a good song though ! But when all the album have deep lyrics like "ghostin", "needy" or "fake smile" i think "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored" and "7 rings" just don't fit with the rest of the album .

    IT IS HER BEST ALBUM YET ♥️ It is one of the best albums in the music industry ! 7 rings and thank u next the huge singles that spawned a number one were so new with a change of style that made her even more successful . Let’s not forget about the songs that are slow that added to the album a mix off bops and slow songs . Which is a great mixture.

    não acho q é melhor álbum dela, mas ainda daria uns 8. dando dez pra equilibrar com as notas q os haters deram de propósito pra média ficar baixa. a ariana entregou bastante emoção nesse álbum, seguindo o mesmo sentido do sweetener, mas agora ela parece menos esperançosa em relação aos sentimentos.

    Best album of the year.
    Full of the best references of pop music, fashion and beauty. It seems like Ari transformed her love conflicts into a mass cultural product and it sounds so smart and cohesive. Those lyrics so full of the best word games. She is the biggest thing that happened in this decade. The Andy Warhol of our millennial times. She is the future and the fame and she acknowledges that.

    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.
