    THIS IS AN ALBUM LADIES

    personally, i was ready to cancel my pre order lmao but miley delivered. top to bottom this is an awesome record, and it’s way more alternative than i’d say “country” and i dig it a lot. i can tell miley wrote a lot of these songs from her heart and that’s why i love it so much. i just wish the roll out was better for such a great album. and i honestly think,    THIS IS AN ALBUM LADIES

    i just wish the roll out was better for such a great album. and i honestly think, the wrong singles were chosen - younger now, bad mood and thinkin should’ve been the singles before the album dropped. personally, malibu doesnt capture the feel of the record and younger now opens the album perfectly and explains this whole “change” magnificently and i think if YN was the first song heard w/ the video the era would’ve been handled smoother (by the gp too).

    and also, im curious to see how this’ll do. i know miley will have a #1 record im just curious as to the critical acclaim it’ll get and im sure she’s going to get grammy noms - this is a grammy album. and despite her not making as mainstream music as demi, selena or ariana; miley remains the most creative ex act honestly.    … Expand

    Good Album, amazin. something different from what we're used to listening to. We not only see evolution in its letters but also in the evolution of its feelings.

    it's not just a record, but a journey and story to be shared. Great job as usual, Miley! I love how she's showing us the maturity. It's definitely sound different than other songs I've heard this year!

    It's amazing how to properly change this girl, she knows how and when to do it. I'm proud to see how she loves herself. I am also proud to see the art that is possible to do. She has done it again.

    It's a great album! I think we should focus on the lyrics and messages that this great artist wants to leave us. The world must change its mind to positive things, and this album, is the one indicated.

    Absolutely a phenomenal album that shows Cyrus' growth not only vocally, but as an artist as a whole. This self-written album shows fans the different stages of life - good and bad. At times, it pulls at heart strings, and at other times Cyrus show cases feel good songs. Phenomenal.

    This album is truly amazing. A COMPLETELY SELF-WRITTEN MASTERPIECE. Miley Cyrus delivered this this time. Every song is amazing and contains a perfect message for masses and contemporary youth. She speaks about love and tolerance.

    This girl if she knows how to reinvent herself feels that she is finding her way in the world of music, in love with young people now, deserves the success and appreciation of others, when I hear this I felt in a story surrounded by trees as a cowboy adventure watching the sunset fall on my eyes, exceptional and impressive
    thanks Miley Cyrus

    The album is totally right. Every song has a powerful meaning and the country style is more than beautiful. Miley's voice sounds on point. She should work more on country. Definitely, my favorite album from her.

    Younger Now It's a great album, Miley really reinvented herself

    I'm proud of who she is

    Miley has the ability to completely reinvent herself, from breakout that took her to success, passing by Bangerz and showing her adult image in a less now

    In "Younger Now," Miley Cyrus was able to put much of her versatility into music.

    This is a thumpingly disappointing and consistently milquetoast set of songs riddled with lyrical banality, done-to-death melodies and wispily thin production.

    Where her past albums felt messy but painfully sincere, Younger Now comes off as safe and overly sanitized, with the frisson that made Cyrus a star all but entirely blasted away. ... Still, the album has some plainly good songs.
