    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. 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!

    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.

Cultural appropriation left and right, narcissistic lyrics aiming to be self-love anthems, and just downright cheesy songs on the album's back half.

    No offense but this album is bad. Seriously, it's so generic and cliche it bores me. She acts like she was 15. Stop.
    There are some good songs but this is so Title 2.0. Grow up, move on.

    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

    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.

    Step up from her previous effort. It includes an array of different musical styles ranging from dancehall to ballads, to pop perfection and her signature doo-wop.

    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!

    the most generic album since Britney Jean (2013), thank god, at least she has a good voice. I know that she's a beginner, i hope Thank You era do a great slayage in the charts and i'm also expecting mature songs. My fave by far is 'Kindly Calm Me Down'

    M-Train's follow up to her debut may be all fun and games but - wait.... it is all fun and games! Really bad, cheesy, cringe-worthy fun and games. Thank You is a mixed bag of cheap production, shallow lyrics, and rarely ( and I mean reaaalllly rarely) solid songs which are quite decent. The best on the album is undoubtedly the lead single, 'NO', smart move on M.T.'s part. 'Better' isM-Train's follow up to her debut may be all fun and games but - wait.... it is all fun and games!

The best on the album is undoubtedly the lead single, 'NO', smart move on M.T.'s part. '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? I mean COME ON. I was really rooting for Meghan but this album is a huge let down.… Expand

    In this album , we see that Meghan really grow up in music, certainly it has some fails like "I Love Me" or "Watch Me Do" , but has some big hits like "No" , "Just A Friend to You" and "Champagne Problems".
    All in all , it's a great album.

    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.

    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.
