    I like it and not at the same time several songs are only saved on the side, I don't listen to it again in full

    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.

    It's really hard to choose favourites because they're just so good.

    Trainor just isn’t a convincing pop star. While the Britney-lite lead single No has its moments, most of the other songs are identity-free filler

    Álbum totalmente incrível. Trainor mostrou que veio para ficar e trouxe uma qualidade impecável nesse seu segundo álbum de estúdio e ainda trazendo coisas novas superiores ao primeiro álbum da mesma.

    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!

    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.

    Un grandioso álbum que esta muy infravalorado como toda la carrera de esta diva musical solo por explotar géneros musicales ya llevados anteriormente en la industria musical. Que deslumbre los años 90´s de nuevo.

    Disgusting. How is this even considered music. Sooooooo overrated and absolutely atrocious. Meghan Trainor is everything that is wrong with mainstream music, along with the terrible Chainsmokers.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Parece álbum de cantora Teen, as 4 primeiras faixas do álbum são boas e se mesclam bem. Ainda assim tem evolução do álbum debute que é desastre, com pouca coisa boa.

    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 still feel the need to putting her even more down than this but my god, is it bad. So on itunes too, she gets mixed/bad reviews. It's almost like people is warning you, "this is crap, don't buy it" "No, Meghan" "why would I want to be you?" It has 3 stars out of 5, which in itunes is super rare to get for a big artist with so many fans but boy, they can't handle her badness this time.I still feel the need to putting her even more down than this but my god, is it bad.

But the public so far has bought it, more so than they should've had, so I have to contribute and tell you, avoid it. And they have ignored other more worthy artists in order to support this and that is a No.
    Please, please, I don't want to see this album or any song from it in the top 10 again or her receiving any awards for her super mediocre music. She is the worst artist we've had in years and my least favorite by miles.    … Expand

    Um álbum totalmente fraco, construído sem nenhum conceito ou critério. 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.

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 listen to the radio. And I hear this BULLSH*T. I hear repetition, lack in songwriting talent and interesting production. All the records sound the same and have boring themes. If you feel inspired by this album, you should have a good long look at yourself in the mirror because you're drowning your ears in literal ear cancer. Sell out.

    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. Whenever I first heard "NO" I was in shock how much she changed, but after listening to her whole entire album (yes every single song) to get the vibe of it, I really realized how amazing this album was.

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!

    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.

    Meghan needs to say "thank you' for her last album and now apologize for making this piece of garbage. These generic songs could be given to anyone and are in no way unique.

    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.
