    Breakout isn’t fun enough or accomplished enough to really excite any segment of her fan base; rather, it’s just enjoyable enough and shows just enough flashes of maturation and skill to halt doubts regarding Cyrus’s future in the entertainment industry.

    This album still slaps in 2020, the best song in this album is by far ''Fly On The Wall'', an electro-rock song that is about the paparazzi and how they don't let celebrities live, oh and I didn't mention that she was 15 at this time.
    This album obviously is more for teens of the 2000s, but it doesn't change the fact that it is solid rock-pop album.

    It is time we acknowledge the genius of Miley Cyrus’s 2008 album Breakout. This album has only aged **well**. The Driveway remains vocally and emotionally one of Miley’s best tracks. From the perspective of 2020, Wake Up America seems almost prophetic about the rise of the youth climate action movement.

Miley has successfully built on the themes of Bottom of the Ocean with her 2019 track Slide Away. And we still are intrigued by her best friend Leslie even 12 years later. And it would be a shame to not acknowledge the impact of Fly on the Wall on 2020 hyper-pop culture.… Expand

    This is a decent authentic album of teen pop. A star singing infectious songs to her young listeners. A perfect job for the target audience. Miley Cyrus is ready on this album

    Catchy pop songs with some rock and roll elements makes this an exceptional work by Miley Cyrus, it accomplishes that teenage dream of becoming a superstar and also some good messages for the young generation, while not letting down the older ones.

    As a tween, I loved the album, and even as a young adult now, "Breakout" is still enjoyable. It is, perhaps, my favourite album released by Miley. It has stand-outs like "7 Things," "The Driveway," "Goodbye," "See You Again," and "Someday." Overall, still enjoyable, even if some of the songs do seem a little juvenile to me now.

    An excellent album, with very good letters and rhythms. Simply excellent.
    Some songs are really very good, and some (although they are less) they are not so good, but in general it is an excellent album

    The essense of this album is so good, what it brings to us is a feeling of all will be always good. We need that feeling. Past seven years of the release and it still so powerful. So good to listen.

    I'm obsessed with Fly On the Wall, Goodbye and See You Again. Every song are beautiful even though some are less. Hovering and Simple Song are the songs I like the less.

    Let's be honest she has the best production team money can by Rock Mafia and etc. This album I will name good songs: Fly on the Wall (Her best song in my opinion. EVER), Bottom of the Ocean (Her voice is a little whinny). See You Again (Why not little girls can sing along to it). Someday (Sweet sound). Hovering (Her brother makes it a little annoying but its straight).

Hovering (Her brother makes it a little annoying but its straight). Breakout (Summer song). The Driveway and Simple Song (Nice sounds). Goodbye. You know what all the production and lyrics are straight its her voice. I think the production is the only thing that keeps her alive cause she aint the best singer. Almost every other female besides Raven, Bella, Debby, and anyone younger then 14 (Not including the McClain Sisters cause they got a really good voices). Her voice is pitchy and winny like Bella Thorne. Bella and Miley if Disney never existed You two would have never made one profesional song. And yeah I liked the last 2 seasons of Hannah Montana. Yeah I like a few Hannah and Miley songs just cause they catchy dont make them good. Party in the USA (Catchy her voice not). Miley is only so popular because of Hannah who personally I dont know how just does, but she sounds better I may be crazy there, but eh. Hannah also looks better then Miley in the last 2 seasons. Miley used to look good before she cut her hair and dyed it. Want my advice listen to the actual song (a.k.a. Instrumental) over the actual song (Lyrically). Only listen to Fly on the Wall and Someday with the lyrics because there guilty pleasures of mine. But everything else. No.… Expand

    Best album by Miley. No autotune and absolutely great vocals. She's really confident in the pop-rock. The best songs are Breakout, 7 Things, Fly On The Wall These Four Walls and Hovering (the last one you find it in the deluxe edition)

    All these songs are lovely, and her vocals are hardly autotuned. She's a real singer, and an amazing songwriter, too. She better changed how she did with "Can't Be Tamed" though, many songs like the "Breakout" ones may sound dull after a while.

    While it's still age-appropriate for minors, Breakout is for the big kids too.

    After all this fun, Breakout's second half gets overly ballad-heavy--guess that's where the growing up factors in--although, impressively, she's a dead ringer for the Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines on the mournful 'These Four Walls.'

    For teen-pop (despite what Annie Leibovitz would have us believe, Miley is only 15, after all), your kid could do worse.
