    After 'Thank You' Meghan left her signature sound behind a bit to arrive into 2020 with something fresh. In most cases she succeded and brought us a solid pop album. There are some really-really strong songs, some typical Meghan Trainor doo-woop sounds, some ballads and some regular pop sounds. Some songs you will forget immediately or won't even notice but others you will sing and danceAfter 'Thank You' Meghan left her signature sound behind a bit to arrive into 2020 with something fresh. In most cases she succeded and brought us a solid pop album. There are some really-really strong songs, some typical Meghan Trainor doo-woop sounds, some ballads and some regular pop sounds. Some songs you will forget immediately or won't even notice but others you will sing and dance for days or weeks. All the features add something unique and new to the songs (although the PCD addition could've been a bit more...extra). The Deluxe version is just lifting it up a few nothes, addig 3 amazing new songs and 2 acoustic versions.

    Treat Myself is a ear-worm pop record that contains some of her most infectious hooks to date. However, the album does sometimes feel more about the hits than how Meghan is actually feeling inside. Some cliche lyrics, some predictable tracks, but the album can be an enjoyable experience whenever you just want to have fun.

    Meghan really discovered a lot of genres here. The delay was worth it, she never failed to amaze us. It’s filled with bops and should’ve been more successful.

    Fun, but mediocre. She always has great singles and then the album is such a disappointment. Like what the hell? I was super excited after Waves and Nice to Meet You, and then such a collection of generic songs.

    Meghan Trainor no nos daba un álbum tan increíble desde su debut Title en 2015.
    Este álbum está tan variado de ritmos, letras, colaboraciónes y producciónes. Tiene canciones para todo tipo de situaciones y emociones. Uno de los mejores álbumes pop del año.

    I liked the album, but I feel like Meghan is a little lost in her sound and it makes the album a little repetitive. I hope she can go back to having days of glory in an upcoming project more enhanced and cohesive.

    A great album! I'm glad I listened to it because it has some truly amazing songs (Genetics and Blink are full on bops) Altough it has some songs I wouldn't listen to again, it's a beautiful album overall.

    In my opinion the era of droplets was much better but this is still good. It has some powerful and deep songs like ''Wave'' or ''Babygirl'' as much as catchy and sweet bops (yes i'm talking bout' marvelous ''genetics'').

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The album is overall decent and filled with plenty of bops and a variety of songs, the album however lacks proper track listing as the songs will change from a “heartbreak” song like lie to me then to a love ballad like here to stay then to a song like blink. Another downside is the album doesn’t have a consistent sound, although Meghan did provide a variety of sounds for this album, she was too focused on trying to write another All About That Bass due to her record label pressuring her into writing another #1 hit like that. Her focusing on this made some of the quality of the songs fail as she was writing songs to become hits, instead of writing them because she’s trying to do something new or different. Although I’ve focused on some of the downsides that have came with this album, I may also point out that this album is filled with so many songs that are helpful for many different parts of the listeners life. The experimentation with newer producers like Mike Sabath was refreshing as her previous projects she had mostly the same producers on the albums. This album first began as that as it was originally planned to be produced by Andrew wells until its delay occurred which allowed for all the new songs that were able to be included as they were today. Overall this album had some good changes to come with it but lacked a consistent sound and it had a confusing track list. Two of the deluxe tracks also repeat verses which isn’t honestly good but I thought I needed to point that out as well.… Expand

    I personally enjoyed "TREAT MYSELF", Meghan Trainor's third LP filled with upbeat pop tracks and ballads. But honestly, it's quite forgettable. The first half of the album is pretty decent, but the other half just doesn't give us that "magic farewell". The only tracks that stood out to me were "Genetics", "Ashes", and the first four tracks.

    I did enjoy Meghan Trainor's message of loving & being true to yourself, but sending that message through 15 tracks that pretty much sound the EXACT same wasn't such a good choice. She truly is a talented woman, but I do hope her next album will be the absolute best of them all.    … Expand

    As a fan of Meghan previously, this album has sucked the fun out of her music. Reduced to a formulaic mess of washed up trends and overblown production choices.

    It’s not her best work of art. For me “Thank You” is on top. But I think it’s really good pop album with nice lyrics, ballads and catchy songs about self love. My favourites are No Excuses, Genetics and Nice to Meet Ya with Nicki Minaj. I feel really sorry for it’s commercial success, but charts not always the most important. Thank you Meghan for your job !

    It is one of the most mediocre albums of the year for pop music. She tried to make a variety of tracks, blending styles and genres, but she mostly failed. Really sad for an artist who won the Grammy's Best New Artist award some years before. I hope she tries harder next time because she has a lot of potential.

    Meghan delayed this album multiple times and it came out a year later than planned. She said she had started writing the best music of her career and wanted to include it on the album. Well it’s here now and there’s no progression at all. This album sounds almost exactly like her previous albums. The single "Waves" is an amazing song and it really was a new sound for her. I would’ve lovedMeghan delayed this album multiple times and it came out a year later than planned.

This album sounds almost exactly like her previous albums. The single "Waves" is an amazing song and it really was a new sound for her. I would’ve loved for the album to explore that sound more. "Nice to Meet Ya" also has a very interesting production, as well as "Another Opinion". Those songs really stand out because they don’t sound like the rest. Then there’s the sexy self-worth bop "Genetics" which is great to dance to. "Funk" is an extremely fun song but its chorus is a pit repetitive, the same goes for "No Excuses". "Workin' On It" and "After You" give you two beautiful ballads. "Ashes" is also a nice song about a toxic relationship.
    That’s one half of the album. Then there’s the other half. The other half is so boring and cringy in some parts. "Blink" and "Evil Twin" are the definition of bubblegum pop and pretty annoying. "Babygirl" discusses the same body positivity message that Meghan has on every album and it's pretty boring. "Lie To Me" and "Here To Stay" are very uneventful and just fillers. "Have You Now" is an okay song and an alright ending for the album. Nothing special though.

    So the album does have some good, fun pop moments. I do want Meghan to do pure pop because we need some artists who give us pure pop in this hip-hop and trap dominated music world but stop doing bubblegum music and find some new topics to sing about. It’s not a terrible album but it’s just okay. Favorites: Waves, Genetics & Workin' On It    … Collapse

    Nothing very impressive with this album. Meghan is a really talented singer but I don't understand why she keeps doing songs and albums on the same themes and sounds of the first one. She showed us that she's versatile with Me Too and NO but that's all. Treat Myself is a "more of the same" of her last 2 albums and her last EP. Neither bad or good. Just.. ok... I guess. Worth 1 or 2 listenings...

    Treat Myself is ladened with the same girl gang hoots and hollers and fluffernutter hooks that popularized preceding albums Title and Thank You, but with a little more urban beat thrown in.

    The result is an album that tries to be all things to all people, a sonic overload that bludgeons the listener with bastardized “empowerment” for 15 songs. Treat Myself is clogged with oozing ballads, contaminated funk, and garish shudders of EDM.

    Delayed for over a year, Treat Myself lacks some of the effortless charm of her debut as Trainor trades her breezy singer/songwriter energy in favor of a sophisticated production style that sometimes threatens to lose her in the mix. Still, there are plenty of fun moments.
