    She doesn't give you the sense that she's thought through the opposing themes in her music: the individual versus society, modernity versus tradition, dependence versus independence. It all feels as unexamined as her use of certain vocal patterns typically associated with black singers.

    Trainor recycles the themes from every forgettable Billboard alumnus from the past decade, with a bit more color here and there, but not enough to distinguish herself from the pack.

It's a fun album but the lyrics have no substance and depth at all. Not worth listening. Full Review »

Meghan Trainor stays within the same style of music as her previous single/ep releases, but leaves us interested thanks to the presence of catchy beats and deep ballads. Standout tracks (newly released through this album) for me are No Good For You, Walkashame and Bang Dem Sticks. Full Review »

Per se, the tracks are enjoyable and appreciable, but they have lost their potential due to a cheapish production.

    When you hear 'Title' your ears have fun. But then the music ends and they will ask to you why you've done them to lose time.
