    ela tentou muito entregar um conceito e etc, mas falhou muito e entregou uma "bagunça organizada". a escolha dos singles é bem interessante pois são o pontos altos da obra. ela ter escolhido pontualmente os singles como as mais "mainstream" só mostra a falta de confiança que ela teve para com as outras músicas.

    Tem um conceito q é desenvolvido e algumas músicas até q tem uma emoção por trás mas nenhuma delas me pegou em nada. Terminei o álbum sem a mínima vontade de voltar em nenhuma música

    Madison Beer’s debut album is pleasant, but can’t help but sound outdated and overdue.

    The album’s biggest fault is that it’s been in the works and teased for simply too long, that it fails to meet it’s expectations. There are parts of it which are extremely lovely, such as the Tame Impala inspired track, “Sour Times”, and the Lana Del Rey influences on the track “Blue”.

    However, it fails to get a proper message across and lacks a sense of cohesion, and simply feels cliche at times with childlike songwriting. It’s a shame, as Beer is obviously talented and eager to share her art to the world, but the album fails to meet up to the “hype”, as such, it was given. But we have to bare in mind, this is a debut album. Her first attempt at a full body of work, as her prior extended play titled, “As She Pleases” feels half full. But her future looks very promising, and we could definitely see Beer as a “Main Pop Girl”.    … Expand

    album muito morno, sem tirar que é óbvio o fato da Madison ter trabalhado apenas em seus singles, sendo assim, na minha opinião, as únicas faixas aceitáveis do album. Sem tirar o fato que seu vocal é muito robótico.

    The album's 17 tracks address subject matter including breakups, grief, and struggles with mental health with a mix of pop, R&B, and alternative stylings and song titles like "Good in Goodbye," "Sour Times," and "Stay Numb and Carry On.

    While some tracks could stand to have their ideas explored more fully – in particular “Default” which ends suddenly right as things start to swell – this is still a satisfying listen from start to finish.

    On a lesser album, the eclecticism might lead to a lack of coherence, but this record is always threaded through with Beer’s diaristic lyricism. With its consistent, gut-punching honesty and witty wordplay, you’ll always find something special on ‘Life Support’.
