    MEMORÁVEL! álbum importante pra carreira da miley, mostrando personalidade, ousadia e muito talento! 2 ou 3 faixas são desnecessárias, porém, ao todo, é muito bem pensado.

    A mature catchy album that will surely be one of her best efforts to date. Her publicity stints may be distracting but it's the album that deserves all the buzz.

    Bangerz is an album you need to "get" to appreciate. And I "get" it. It is supposed to be dark, glimmering pop that celebrates life but also reflects on its more difficult moments. Miley has never sounded better vocally. The production is top-notch.

    The only reason that people hate her is because she used to be a Disney princess, this album is like Miley's mirror, we can see the real her on these amazing songs. Mix of hip hop, pop, r&b, and the most amazing thing is that she didn't forgot her roots by doing country on "4x4" with hip hop star "Nelly

Everything from the; haircut, to the twerking viral video, the controversial VMA performances, the music videos, and racy photos has come down to this one moment the official release of Miley Cyrus' album, "BANGERZ". It's time for the music to speak for itself.

    The first listen I was not digging this album. There was only one song I really liked and that was, "FU" ft. French Montana. Once I saw the reactions through social media upon the release date (which were overwhelmingly positive) I decided to take another listen to this album and I am glad I did not dismiss this project as a, "Failed" album. To put this simply, Miley Cyrus should be proud of this project. All of the publicity stunts were worth it.

    The production on this album (which was handled mostly by Mike Will Made It) is great. I would like to take a second and say, "I was impressed" I never thought Miley Cyrus was a amazing vocalist, but she proved me wrong on this album. Some of the songs on, "BANGERZ" sent chills up my spine and gave me goosebumps which I never thought I would say about a Miley Cyrus project. The lyrical content resolved mostly around relationships and partying, but the lyrics themselves are not much to be desired for. I found them to be mediocre, repetitive, with not much complexity in them. I also didn't see much use for the features either. They did nothing to enhance the album or songs they were on. Believe it or not, I believe Miley Cyrus could have carried this entire project herself, yet, another thing I thought I would never say about a Miley Cyrus project. Miley Cyrus also experimented some with this album as well mixing her racy side and country side together to make a interesting sound. A reminder that the country still exists within her.

    Overall, I liked this album. There's a lot of bangers (no pun intended) within this project and Miley also shows that she is more than just a rebellious twenty year old woman twerking to get by. She has talent, she has an ear for music, and through her promotion she has proven to be the smartest young musician in the business today. Even if you don't buy this album I would strongly recommend listening to it. Miley worked really hard and made a successful project that should be given a chance.    … Expand

    Brilliant! Her best album to date, and i'm not a fan of Miley but I have to admit it. "Adore You", "We Can't Stop", "Wrecking Ball", "#GETITRIGHT", "Do My Thang", "Someone Else" and "Rooting For My Baby" are definitely the higlights of the album.

    It's a new album showing us another Cyrus's face. She makes up feel a hard and painful times she's been through. Wrecking Ball and Adore You are both powerful ballad with different points of view. I really love dancing to SMS (Bangerz) and Hands In the Air. We Can't Stop makes us understand we can do what we want to! Such a powerful voice on those songs! She shows us she can sing

    (I'll be talking about the deluxe version as well)

    This is miley's best album, it'll be hard for her to top this. Bangerz is well produced, whilst shes trying out new styles. The main genre she was going for was pop and r&b which she nailed. This was her departure from her disney days. Although she had some odd moments during this era, she served amazing vocals throughout this album.    (I'll be talking about the deluxe version as well)

    One of my favorite songs from bangerz is drive. Drive talks about her being heartbroken, it's such an amazing song. My other favorites are we can't stop, adore you, fu, someone else, my darlin, #getitright and do my thang. I enjoy 4x4, wrecking ball, hands in the air and love money party too. It deserved a lot more.    … Expand

    The CD is a great and amazing arrangement of melodies and definitely one of the best of his career. A teenager showing a mature job like that is very difficult. With so much polemic and controversial makes you listen to the album and understand that it is nothing more than a great pop world album and that you feel all feeling. Miley's still going to fly away.

    Arguably one of the most controversial pop era's of the 2010's, 'Bangerz' leaves little to be offended by in it's music.

    Shedding the skin of Hannah Montanna, exchanging her long brunette locks for a bleached pixie cut, and swapping her anthemic arena ballads like 'Can't Be Tamed', 'Party In The USA' and 'The Climb' for slow, romantic trap-pop songs, Miley Cyrus was a catalyst for media    Arguably one of the most controversial pop era's of the 2010's, 'Bangerz' leaves little to be offended by in it's music.

    Shedding the skin of Hannah Montanna, exchanging her long brunette locks for a bleached pixie cut, and swapping her anthemic arena ballads like 'Can't Be Tamed', 'Party In The USA' and 'The Climb' for slow, romantic trap-pop songs, Miley Cyrus was a catalyst for media fire in 2013. Accusations of cultural appropriation for her new Lil Kim inspired image, a controversial video of an 18 year old Miley smoking weed and her sexed up VMAs performance all contributed to the complicated yet fun record that is 'Bangerz'.

    The album starts off with a slow love song 'Adore You', in which Miley sings almost slurred over layered vocals and a bouncing trap beat. Penned by Cyrus, Stacy Barthe & Oren Yoel, the track is a drunken love note to her then ex-boyfriend Liam Hemsworth. Being one of the only positive songs about their relationship on the record, Miley yearns for the comfort of her lover, and constantly asks for reassurance.

    Next is the hit single 'We Can't Stop'. Serving as the lead for the album, this rebellious party anthem showcases Miley's vocals over a grilling static instrumental. Paired with the legendary 'SMS (Bangerz)' Britney Spears duet, the duo prepare us for the onslaught of 'F*ck You!!!!' house party songs ahead. Followed by features by Nelly and Future, the lyrics become fun and enjoyable. 'Driving so fast, about to piss on myself' she sings in '4x4'.

    Then one of the highlights of the record, Wrecking Ball. One of Miley's most successful singles to date, this ballad was the spark that lit the fire of uproar by the public. The music video featured a naked Cyrus swinging on a wrecking ball, crying and mourning the relationship that she recognised she had a hand in breaking. The power ballad contains the party aspect of the previous 5 tracks, but gives a sense of vulnerability and emotion to what otherwise would be a fun 'IDGAF' typical 2013 pop record.

    Up next are some of the albums best songs. '#GETITRIGHT' is a fun, summery sex song, where Miley describes her excitement for intimacy with her partner. Following is 'Drive', arguably one of the best deep cuts on the record. 'Send me roses I'll just let 'em die' Miley cries on the chorus, fed up with the games played by her ex. The chorus is an infectious cry for respect and love, and is a highlight of the record.

    Here the record becomes a slight 2013 cringe-fest, with songs like 'Do My Thang' and 'FU' sounding like shallow attempts at Lady Gaga's 'Swine'. Nevertheless, the record picks up speed again with 'Maybe You're Right', where she describes her relationship with Nick Jonas. The album ends on a high note, with 'Somebody Else' where a trippy trap beat seduces Miley's rapping, where she details how she has changed.

    The bonus tracks also hold great substance, with 'Rooting For My Baby' being a highlight of the album, and in my opinion should have replaced 'Do My Thang' as an album track. Reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, she sings of submissiveness and supporting her partner. The fresh vocal layering and acoustic guitar make the track a career highlight, as well as an album one.

    Overall, the theme of Bangerz was progression, discovery and image. It did what it needed to do as a Miley Cyrus album, and is overlooked and hated just because of that, it is a Miley Cyrus album. It wasn't made for critical acclaim or awards, instead it created a shift in pop culture and in Miley. A solid album that is a standout from the last decade.    … Expand

    The hype of the album was caused by Miley Cyrus' new controversial image that most people dislike.
    Honestly, listening to this album was like listening to an album released by Disney, only with Miley having a racy image. Only that is that Disney is not involved with Miley's new image, it was RCA, the label responsible of making many artists popular.

    Comparing to Selena Gomez's album, 'Stars Dance', 'Bangerz' has diversity in its songs with a mix of hip hop, pop and country, sticking to Miley's roots while 'Stars Dance' clearly only sticks to Electronic.
    The arrangement of the tracklist is okay. The pop ballad 'Adore You' is a good song choice to open this 'hip-hop' influenced album. The closing song, 'Someone Else', should not have been the closing song at all because it does not have the emotional factor in the song even though the song addresses Miley's new image. If I were Miley, I should have chosen the second to the last song in the album, 'Maybe You're Right', to close this album which is more appropriate because the song could be about Miley and Liam Hemsworth's ended relationship, which is emotional on its own terms.
    The album tries not to be sad at all, with some upbeat songs that might be addressing to Hemsworth, which the only songs that are emotional are 'Wrecking Ball' and 'Maybe You're Right'.
    Some of the highlights of the album were 'We Can't Stop', '4x4', a country/hip hop collaboration with Nelly, with him dropping the 'N' word with his verse, 'Wrecking Ball' and '#GETITRIGHT', which has a catchy potential to be a single from the album.
    The best highlight from the album was 'SMS Bangerz', a collaboration with Britney Spears, which also has a potential to be a single as well.
    The album may have its hits and misses, but Miley Cyrus shows us that she is 'Hannah Montana no more' and she has a place in the music industry despite her raunchy image for Bangerz.    … Expand

"Bangerz" is an album that at first listen you hate, but as you get the idea and listen again, you get what Cyrus is doing here. As an album "Bangerz" is good and better than I thought, but it won't appeal to everyone and it has some really bad song. The opening song "Adore You" is so heartfelt, true, and honest, it's also a showcase for Cyrus's vocals. Next it continues on with "We Can't Stop" and moves on with more tunes you'll be surprised are different from other music, and that I can appreciate. Cyrus goes by her own style and avoids conventional pop music, and Cyrus really shines with songs like "Wrecking Ball" and of course "Adore You" but she also stumbles on songs like "SMS (Bangerz)" and "Love Money Party" that it reminds you that Miley may be taking some Molly (Hope you get the Pun). The album is decently paced at around 50 minutes and only feels slow on the forgettable duet with Future "My Darlin'" which feels unnecessary and I wished it was cut out. Certain songs like "Do My Thang", "Get it Right", and "4x4" all sound fun, catchy, and helps you get use to Miley's behavior. Some things I wished weren't here are the parts where Miley raps, please don't it sounds laughable. Also this album is tonally all over the place, it seems like this album is trying to be everything and sometimes it doesn't work. The album won't appeal to everyone, parent's will certainly hate this album. But in the end this album does prove many things, but one of them is that Hannah Montana is officially dead.… Expand

We Can’t Stop You is the club banger of the album, while other outstanding upbeat tracks like SMS (Bangerz) and Love Money Party keep the energy pumping. Bangerz is an album written with songs perfectly suited to Miley’s southern accent, as each song manages to bring out the best in Miley’s vocals. The tune in 4x4 works to Miley’s vocal advantage, while the smooth vocal flows in My Darlin’ gels Future’s and Miley’s vocals into a beautiful synthesis. In areas where Miley’s vocals are found wanting, background vocals and instrumentals are brought in to fill in the gaps. Wrecking Ball, the masterpiece of this album, is the epitome of such musical engineering. The chorus hits strongly with an opening powered by drums, while the ending chorus, enriched by a swathe of background vocalists, ends with a climatic peak at the words ‘blazing’ in the line ‘left me crouching in a blazing fall’. While haters may use this exact statement to argue that Bangerz is a product of business rather than art, I argue that good music regardless of its source of success is good music. The merits of Bangerz cannot be ignored.

    However, while the first half of the album, if taken on its own, is easily a 10-point worthy record, the second half dies down in its sophistication. Perhaps the greatest barrier to perfection for Bangerz, then, is that it is ultimately a teenage pop album, and the extent to which this genre can move, provoke, and inspire is limited. Nevertheless, Bangerz is definitely worth a listen. With its huge popularity and controversy, I would not be surprised if Miley lands major Grammy nominations with this outstanding record.    … Expand

    A very fun, catchy, and vocally impressive album. After a big change in her life, this album proves that Miley still got it, except brings it to a higher and more mature level. However, some song such as "Do My Thang" and the title track lack substance and create an album with unnecessary fillers.

    As much as I hate to say this, the album is actually not that bad. I was expecting an album full of explicit lyrics and all the tweaks that are just seeking for attention, but it's quite different. Yeah, there's a few swear words here and there but not that much as I imagined. The album has some good songs. No song is better than 'We Can't Stop', but they complement it very well!

    Sometimes, like on the outstanding "Wrecking Ball," the emotion calcifies into catchy, mature hooks, propelled forth by Cyrus' oft-underestimated vocal heft. Then again, the breakup also produced "FU," a dismally adolescent electro-soul duet with French Montana.
