    This has to be one of the strangest pop albums I've heard in a long time. It's basically a hodge-podge of different styles, and the only element tying the whole thing together is Trainor's self-empowering (or perhaps narcissistic) lyrics. Part of me wants to hate Thank You for being so weird and scattershot, but honestly, it's actually a pretty fun album.

It's basically a hodge-podge of different styles, and the only element tying the whole thing together is Trainor's self-empowering (or perhaps narcissistic) lyrics. Part of me wants to hate Thank You for being so weird and scattershot, but honestly, it's actually a pretty fun album. Most of the songs are gimmicky and cheesy, and the lyrics are surprisingly funny. Thank You sort of seems like a parody album. I get the impression that Meghan is more intent on acting goofy and having fun than she is on creating honest music with emotional depth, and for that reason, it's a bit hard for me to take her seriously as a pop star. Nevertheless, at least she's having fun with what she's doing, and I will admit she's a talented singer and songwriter. Interestingly enough, her silliest songs stand out to me the most. The songs where she tries to tone it down and act "normal" are the most forgettable (Hopeless Romantic, Just a Friend to You), and they really put a damper on the album's energy. If she had just gone all-out with her humorous hooks and eclectic productions, I'd have appreciated it more.

    In this album, Trainor explores a variety of styles, like Reggae from Rap, making a sound of the 70's. To the music industry, this is an innovation, having in mind that a bunch of artists are not able to travel between a lot of those styles and genres, and I just can't stand the negative reviews. The album is way better than her first one, titled ''Title''.

The album is way better than her first one, titled ''Title''.

    Thank You has a high self-esteem vibe, using the feminism empowerment as an embasement, and it's explicit on songs like ''Watch Me Do'', ''Me Too'', ''NO'', ''Better'', ''I Love Me'', ''Woman Up''. Trainor needed half an album to show us her feminist power.

    But, of course, it is not a VERY GOOD ALBUM. It actually is good, but somethings went wrong, like: the tracklist is messy, Meghan concentrated the full concept of the album on some songs, like I Love Me and Better, and this got really exagerated, we didn't have the stories of Title, the creative videos of Title.

    But, we can affirm: this album placed Meghan on the music industry, and she is already a big superstar.    … Expand

    Thank You it's really a good album, but I expected some more, however, it's good and she gave the best of her. I hope her third studio album takes more time than this and she tries to make the best possible for her fans.

    Meghan Trainor no longer focuses on weight empowerment and that bass, she now talks about female empowerment and independence from a man. While very controversial, this album doesn't managed to knock the critics off their game like Title did with its '50s and '60s influences.

    I have been a Megatron since "All About that Bass" and I was really having a hard time to decide if I would really enjoy this new sound Meghan had.

All of the critics say that they all sound like "main-stream pop" or whatever else; That's not true! If you go to her album right now you can listen to say "Mom" and compare it to "Just a Friend To You" or "Thank You" ; they all have a meaning as every single song wasn't written for some generic pop album to make sales. She put her heart into this album and I think it deserves to be a TOP 20 album of 2016 AT LEAST. I mean think about it..... 2 songs already (" No" and "Me Too") both got to #1 ("NO") and #2 ("Me Too") on ITunes! It truly is amazing to see how she has changed into such a developed musician and I am so proud of this album.... it's a good one guys!

    The very first few tracks are quite enjoyable, but pretty much all the rest sounds like a cartoonish version of every genre she tries to emulate, with MIDI-quality instrumentals and a totally lifeless production style. It would be wise to stay away from this album.

    Compared to Title, I would choose Thank You over her debut. But it's almost the same as her last album, except she ditches her 50's pop and went for more recent 00's genre like music. The lyrics are almost the exact same, I don't really see it differ. The beats were exceptional, but it's something that tells you it's Meghan Trainor.

    We already had a Simple Plan album this year. We don't need Meghan Trainor to attempt to be actively worse. And while she may have been successful in her attempts, being genuinely worse than Simple Plan is the last thing anyone should strive to be.

    Best Song: Uh... I Love Me, I guess?
    Worst Songs: NO, Me Too, Just A Friend To You, Dance Like Yo Daddy

    Um álbum totalmente fraco, construído sem nenhum conceito ou critério. Algumas faixas soam como descartes do seu último disco, 'Title'.

Algumas faixas soam como descartes do seu último disco, 'Title'. O mais espantoso é que ela conseguiu regredir mais ainda que a estreia totalmente morna do seu disco de estreia. 'Thank You' tinha tudo pra ser uma evolução, por mais que - o seu primeiro single - 'NO' seja só mais um faixa catchy em forma de hit nas rádios pop, havia a esperança de que agora a cantora construísse uma personalidade consistente. Em um mundo de 'Lemonade' de Beyoncé, fica difícil se animar ouvindo o disco da americana Meghan Trainor. Nem mesmo um prêmio de grande tamanho como o de melhor artista relevação do Grammy de 2016 convence que realmente ela é merecedora de qualquer prêmio desse nível, que seja, ou que ela esteja nos dando o seu melhor. O talento dela pode até existir e eu não duvido, mas ele se perde no meio de tantas faixas querendo soar como outros artistas ou na tamanha capacidade de que ela tem pra se empoderar e se amar de forma vazia e sem qualquer causa.… Expand

    I actually prefer this to her last album - it is much more upbeat and all of the songs are uplifting. The problem I had with 'Title' is that is was very chilled and didn't have too many upbeat tracks but Thank You is full of them and is a really fun listen!

'Better' is another decent song, nothing stellar or really interesting, but good, clean production and her vocals sound great. Now we get to a problem... 'Champagne Problems' could have made a really great album closer but the BEYOND STUPID "fun" lyrics about having bad wifi and hoping your Uber isn't late really ruin what could have been a decent song. Second single 'Me Too' is almost laughable- the dated production and tongue-in-cheek lyrics on this song are displayed across the whole album. Did she write some of these tracks in 5 minutes?

    A very strong album with a very clear message : "I'm Meghan Trainor." As she did in "Title", messages of feminism are also found. However, the album is fusion with R&B and a bit reggae. I guess Trainor still can't handle it good and that's why some of the songs are strange and uncomfortable.

    Yet another amazing album from Meghan Trainor! A new sound, a new look, and it works very well. Go grab a copy in stores or iTunes because you'll be dancing to all these tracks all summer long!

    While incorporating many of Meghan Trainor's eclectic musical influences, Thank You fails to contribute anything new to the current pop landscape. The album treads the line between self-empowerment and self-absorption and occasionally seems to lean a bit too far toward the latter.

    Sub-Par at best. Very bland and some tracks are just annoying.
    There are some alright tracks, maybe 5 or so.
    But overall the album isn't good at all.

    Also, Me Too is EXTREMELY ANNOYING.

    None of her attitude on this album is remotely convincing or justified. I guess she just went for R&B because it would make her sound more convincing and badass, but it totally doesn't work. This album doesn't even have the moments that Title had. Sometimes the production is ok? But this is just a sad attempt to play it safe.

    O segundo álbum de Meghan Trainor só pode ser classificado de uma maneira: um verdadeiro "desastre de trem". Explico: Thank You é um desastre do começo ao fim e fica até difícil curtir de verdade qualquer momento, mas, apesar disso, existe uma força que atrai a gente para ouvir o álbum várias vezes. Exatamente a mesma sensação quando ocorre um "desastre de trem". Acredito que seja a mesma,O segundo álbum de Meghan Trainor só pode ser classificado de uma maneira: um verdadeiro "desastre de trem". Explico: Thank You é um desastre do começo ao fim e fica até difícil curtir de verdade qualquer momento, mas, apesar disso, existe uma força que atrai a gente para ouvir o álbum várias vezes. Exatamente a mesma sensação quando ocorre um "desastre de trem". Acredito que seja a mesma, pois nunca vi um acidente de trem de perto. Todavia, um álbum tão medíocre como esse da Meghan Trainor.

    Tentar compreender exatamente o que aconteceu aqui é um trabalho complicado, pois há vários caminhos que pode ser explorado. Depois do mega sucesso alcançando com o seu divertido primeiro trabalho (Title), Meghan ou/e a sua gravadora decidiu mudar completamente de rumo ao deixar para trás a sonoridade vintage/comercial que marcou o seu começo de carreira. Até aí tudo bem, já que essa sonoridade não foi muito bem aceita por um parte do público. Entretanto, essa mudança se transformou em um verdadeiro tiro no pé da cantora, além de tirar boa parte da sua personalidade. Com o sucesso de NO, a única música boa de fato do álbum, o produtor Ricky Reed assumiu a criação de quase todo o álbum, produzindo 13 das 17 faixas que fazem parte de todas as versões de Thank You. A decisão mostra que o álbum foi feito a toque de caixa e, por consequência, sem qualquer preparo artístico. Nas mãos dessa combinação imperfeita, o álbum resulta em uma mistura pobre, infantil, massificada e confusa de pop e R&B que não consegue encontrar a sua personalidade ou qualquer fio de coerência sonora, alternando batidas que variam entre a vergonha alheia, o irritante e o completamente sem gosto. Além disso, a inclusão de reggae, hip hop e eletrônico apenas ressaltam o desespero em deixar Meghan relevante e popular. Até que alguns momentos funcionam com o seu alto comercial como em Woman Up, mas um olhar mais atento é capaz de relevar mais defeitos.

    Com uma atmosfera animada e com uma proposta de passar uma mensagem positiva sobre empoderamento feminino, Meghan Trainor pode até ter boas intenções que são destruídas pela qualidade extremamente questionável das suas construções liricas. As composições mostram a falta de tempo ou/e de experiência para lidar com a pressão de escrever canções como essas, pois a falta de delicadeza e inteligência linguística grita com passagens vergonhosas, referências clichês e refrões irritantes. Quando isso não acontece, as letras são bobas e sem nenhuma graça lembrando o começo de carreira de divas teen que precisam vender para um público com pais conservadores. Um bom exemplo disso é Champagne Problems que tem pérolas como "Can't believe my Uber's late again" e "My new Wi-Fi doesn't seem to work". Apesar de muitos criticarem o pseudo rap que Meghan faz em canções como Watch Me Do e Dance Like Yo Daddy, o grande problema vocal dela em Thank You é quando ela quer passar a imagem de cantora séria ao mostrar o seu vozeirão, mas esquecendo de colocar qualquer personalidade em interpretações apáticas e clichês como em Kindly Calm Me Down. Simplesmente não funciona e ainda deixa a cantora perdida e sem personalidade. O resultado final é desastre tão grande como poderia ser um desastre de trem, mas que a única vitima é a Meghan Trainor.    … Expand

    I think this album and Meghan in general come under too much fire from people. She is a very talented young lady who can write, produce and sing her own songs very well. Her music is cute and feel good. Yet people here (who do not even use correct grammar) are bashing her. I don't get it. It's a step away from the doo-wop from her debut "TItle," and leans to a more pop sound. I'm sure sheI think this album and Meghan in general come under too much fire from people.

    Compared to Title (Trainor's debut album), this album is an evolution. This work shows more self-confidence from Trainor, meanwhile her concept is full of innovations and has a positive message to most teenagers.

    Well, for me, this album is amazing! Good lyrics, good songs like "Kindly Calm Me Down", "MOM", and "Hopeless Romantic". And good sounds like "Me Too" or "Champagne Problems". I think is one of the best albums of 2016. But a lot of haters can't asume it.

    NICE WORK. I really like her voice even though It's a little bit weak and needs improvements. Pleasant songs with a lot of themes. I'd like her to try new styles because (even if this is a good thing) she always makes the same kind of music.

    Very faithful to his style, Trainor repeats the formula just a little darker and to everyone's surprise it worked perfectly. Again he made an album quite interpenetrated with sounds that intermingle perfectly without having to copy between themselves.

    This is quite an improvement from her debut album. It's still authentic, still keeping her doo-woop and 90s pop sounds mixing some dance-pop to place the album in the 2010s with themes of love, heartbreak, confidence (with sometimes a big slice of cockiness), self-empowerment, friends and family.

    Meghan has a variety of sounds on this album, given that a current artist group is a little innovative for such a wide album. The album is not good, but production errors. The album put Meghan in the music industry!

    Thank You is an interesting album in that it shows musical growth for Meghan Trainor while simultaneously moving her closer to the more homogenous sound of mainstream pop. It’s not great by any means, but it is definitely catchy and easy to sing along with.

    The self-infatuation on this album is less attempted-clever and more ambient, a body-posi constant that gives the plethora of tasty palm-muted figures and colorful production settings a semblance of gravity even if it becomes the favorite of the “Yaaas queen”-abusing straight Facebook friend you had to unfollow.
