    Que maravilla de álbum, Olivia Rodrigo ha demostrado que el éxito de 'Sour' no fue solo coincidencia o suerte, guts esta a un nivel que otros artistas con sus segundos álbumes no logran

    don’t know how olivia rodrigo keeps getting away with it, someone needs to stop her because i make her my personal therapist!!! at only 20 years old, her songwriting is just top tier and incomparable to any of her fellow artists that debuted less than 3 years ago. she encapsulated the girl experience in 36 minutes perfectly

    Olivia always manages to surprise with her songs. This album is something I needed to listen to. Guts shows Olivia's feelings as she matures.

    A very cohesive album concept-wise, with brilliant vocals from Olivia Rodrigo and equally brilliant songwriting that will resonate to adolescents and adolesent-at-heart with its expertly crafted prose and undeniable sincerity.

    This was an absolute amazing body of work. Olivia Rodrigo is a musical genius, and with Guts, she has cemented herself as one of the dominant forces in today’s music industry. It’s fun to so hear how much she has developed, both sonically and lyrically, and the songs are so well produced as well. You have to take a listen!

    Firstly, I think this album is really good. Each song has its own unique features, and the lyrics are also quite interesting and satirical. Especially the ending song is really sad, and ending with a sad ending is really great! Olivia Rodrigo's talent is undeniable. We need to look at it rationally and not too subjectively. Comparing with others is completely meaningless behavior, andFirstly, I think this album is really good.

Comparing with others is completely meaningless behavior, and comparing with ourselves is the true competition. No one is perfect, and no one's things will be liked by everyone. Therefore, based on rational judgment, I have seen her growth and dedication for this album. Many rock songs have really brought me back to the 2000s! Keep working hard! I support you! Both subjective and objective support you!… Expand

    OLIVIA. MISS GURL. YOU DID AGAIN. I think that this a better album than her last album SOUR. I think SOUR was an amazing debut. But I think that it was just too sad and filled with too many ballads. There was a fun aspect missing from it. However, GUTS was filled with so many pop/punk/rock songs like All American **** love is embarrassing, get him back, etc. It also balanced the album outOLIVIA. MISS GURL. YOU DID AGAIN.

However, GUTS was filled with so many pop/punk/rock songs like All American **** love is embarrassing, get him back, etc. It also balanced the album out with ballads like lacy, making the bed, teenage dream, etc. I think her performance was amazing because her voice just fits well with punk and rock. I think she has matured a lot from sour and was able to bring her amazing songwriting with her to this album. I also like how she was about to be a little silly with some of the lyrics like "every guy I like is gay" and "I want to kiss his face with an uppercut". This album is a 10/10 and a no-skip album.… Expand

    It’s an album so much mature and explores more places and topics, without leaving back the sweetness and youth that Olivia is characterized by, Guts has a song for everyone and every time and it’s an affirmation of the Olivias’s talent for those who didn’t believe on her.

    First of all, I really wanted Olivia to switch to this genre, but in her terms. A really bold album. Considering that we aren't in a scene where Rock/Punkish albums rule the world like in the early 2000s. It feels edgy in a positive sense. It sounds like a classic record.

    “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.
