    this album is actually a masterpiece. the angsty and raw songwriting isn't cringe, as some people claim, this kind of art is great for teens like Olivia herself. she's spilling her guts in a way that is so theatrical and exaggerated, in some ways this album feels like the superb soundtrack of an iconic 2000s movie, it is sonically and lyrically cohesive. 10/10 album.

    Well done Mrs Rodrigo! I knew her second project would be worth the wait. She's really owning her craft and doesn't need to follow mainstream trends to deliver great songs. A real songwriter and performer. Haters need to take notes and maybe one day release some good music of their own before they walk on by saying this album isn't good. Take those expectations and shove it cause Rodrigo slays.

    I love this album more then Sour. So much less ballad heavy and is more fun. And I love the Pop/Punk or Pop/Rock throughout many of the songs.

    OLIVIA RODRIGO'S BEST ALBUM.Sour surprised everyone, being a charming project full of very good songs, but Guts surpasses itself in every way, having spectacular songs and a very good order. I love u Liv.

    Si me preguntan, la principal fortaleza de este álbum es la composición que Olivia maneja: se observa un crecimiento en su forma de escribir y más de uno se sentirá identificado con los temas abordados en las canciones.

    La producción también resalta, se escucha limpia y recuerda mucho a los trabajos del pop-rock de artistas como Avril Lavigne, Ashlee Simpson o incluso Katy Perry en sus inicios.

    Mi principal problema con este disco es el título que bien podría pasar como un clickbait: "Guts" (vísceras) evoca sonidos intensos, quizá crudos, pero buena parte de las canciones son baladas y en algunos casos recuerdan demasiado a su era anterior.

    Varios de los temas también se sienten largos. Canciones como "Lacy" o "Logical" se vuelven monótonas y no les encuentro valor de replay. Simplemente no son mi copa de té.

    El disco me parece decente, pero que poco aportará a la carrera de Olivia a largo plazo. Será interesante ver su siguiente trabajo porque creo que tiene mucho talento como compositora; eso sí, agradecería que ya suelte el color morado. Equis de.

    Generally a good sophomore album from Olivia, she continues to show her growth in her sound and dabbling into new genres. However, some of the rock influences sound repetitive throughout the album, which could have been done better. My favourites are making the bed, the grudge, and teenage dream.

    First listen - I was not sure, but now that I've been through the album 5 times, I love it. I wanna dance and sing. She knows how to express how it feels to be a girl in her twenties. Amazing lyrics.

    Cada canción de ese álbum es una MARAVILLA y sabiendo que todos los segundos álbumes tienen una maldición
    Para Olivia Rodrigo eso no es un obstáculo y supo esquivarlos muy bien
    Y no me sorprendería que esta joya sea nominada a ‘Mejor álbum’ en los GRAMMYS

    Musically, I think the song is more mature. Overall, lyrically it hasn't changed much. or There's a lot of room to grow and I'm looking forward to it.

Después salieron canciones que los primeros 10 segundos sentía que no me gustarían pero gracias a la letra tan realista y voz de Olivia me hicieron volverla a amar la canción, cosa que esta bien pero es algo a destacar. Este álbum es una ola de emociones e intensidad. Sientes como lentamente de pasar a canciones poderosas y de enojo desciendes a las canciones mas crudas y realistas posibles. Me encanto esa sensación. Expand

    “Teenage Dream” recycles a song title of Katy Perry’s and echoes a twisty-turny melody of Lana Del Rey’s. Yet Rodrigo’s emotional presence is so strong throughout “Guts” — so believable even at its most unrelatable — that you never lose the sense of a specific young person navigating a trial of her own making.

    GUTS is emphatic proof that Rodrigo isn't just good for a kid -- she's grown into an artist with plenty of things to say, and the confidence and eloquence to say them her way.
