    It may not be the most coherent album, but each song is a banger, the write is amazing and luckily we have ''Revelations'' and'' Hit it From the back'' out there! It would be amazing have ''Your Time to Cry'', ''Left my Body'' or even ''Somber''

    One of the best albums I've heard this year. Kim really showed herself as a force to be reckoned with. Most people complaining about this record are mad about Dr. Luke's production credits, but he's only on a few tracks, and SO many other artists have and continue to work with him and don't get any hate so it's really not a valid point.

The most important part of the record is the music, not the controversy, and in that aspect, she delivers greatly with tight production and great vocals. Definitely the strongest pop record this year.… Expand

    This is definitely the album of the summer. Unapologetic, entertaining and bold. 'King of Hearts', 'uhoh', & 'Hit it From the Back' are pop gems meant to dance and sing your heart off. Kim doesn't deserve the targeting and hate she is getting.

    Creo que el álbum es muy bueno, las canciones que ha sacado, han demostrado el talento que tiene Kim Petras en la industria musical. Además, es un disco de perfección pop el cual era muy necesario en estos tiempos donde el pop está en decadencia.

    I loved this album, it reminds me of Clarify, and it's great for me because it's my favorite. Revelations, BAIT, and Sex Talk are my favorites, a really good pop to listen to.

    Skipless album. It’s true some of the songs like coconuts or sex talk don’t match the concept of the album but apart from this every song in it is amazing

    With tracks like "uh oh", "King of Hearts" and "Alone", this album shines through as one of- if not- the best album of the year so far. The German house and R&B influences shine through extremely well on this album.

    For me it's a pretty solid album, it has a lot of sounds we've heard before, but it feels UNIQUE, Kim's voice sounds incredible. In my opinion it's a very enjoyable album. YOU GOT IT KIM, WE LOVE YOU.

    The perfect summer album!

    Non Single Highlights: King of Hearts, Uh Oh, Claws, Hit It From The Back & Castle In The Sky

    Not sure if 'Minute' is a good fit for the album but she did not disappoint!

    Kim shines in true pop form on Feed The Beast. Even in it’s like slower paced moments like “Thousand Pieces”, “BAIT (feat. BANKS)” & “Alone (feat.

Overall this album does feel like more of a compilation of Kim’s best attributes as a Pop artist rather than it telling a “story”, however, that’s not such a bad thing. The way the album moves from start to finish keeps it feeling cohesive and the mix of tracks works in its favour. Is this a full conceptual album with a hidden deeper meaning lurking beneath? No. But it doesn’t have to be in order to be a ‘good’ Pop album; it’s nice to escape into a world of fun every now and then, and Kim certainly knows how to take her listeners there.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Screw what you heard. Kim is the latest member of pop music’s royal family. Granted this debut is a melting pot of collaborative efforts throughout her rising career; but there is cohesion and vision in Petras’ candid lyrical delivery. Kim induces modern synth house in mainly all tracks. The collaborations that the German star adds on with BANKS & Nicki spin a unique voice for Petras, all while showing off her talents in singing and songwriting.… Expand

    IGNORE ALL THE LOW RATINGS, DR LUKE PRODUCED SOME SONGS, GET OVER IT. This is an absolute banger of an album, this is POP music at its best. I just wish Kim had more promotion and exposure, she needs to get booked onto more things, she needs so much more exposure, this album has everything to be a major success but nobody will know it exists unless she gets exposure, promo and radio play,IGNORE ALL THE LOW RATINGS, DR LUKE PRODUCED SOME SONGS, GET OVER IT.

    Kim has released an album with banging singles, and album tracks that could have easily been lead singles too.

Album standouts are definitely Alone, Uhoh and King of Hearts, but then again most of the other tracks will still be in generous rotation.    … Expand

    It's not a perfect album, but it's not bad, it just doesn't have a good order, I like that it has these electrifying and danceable vibes, because it's the goal of this album, to be fun and danceable.

    It's not cohesive but the songs are bangers and whoever says otherwise has either not listened to the album AT ALL or is just deaf.

    This is a huge step for Kim Petras. I loved the whole album and the concept. The dance beats are so fun and catchy. My least favorite song though had to be Sex Talk.

    Also rife with a bubbly, '70s funk groove is "Coconuts," whose cheeky, double entendre lyrics not only celebrate Petras' Queer identity, but speak to the playfully flirty, tongue-in-cheek atmosphere she achieves throughout Feed the Beast.

    Of course, even the weaker songs have their dance-floor potential. Petras is, above all else, a pure fan of pop music and the feeling it exudes. But in chasing her new status as the type of pop star who has Top 40 potential, she abandoned the freakishly forward-thinking personality that built her a base to begin with. Here, the beast has been tamed.
