    The bravery of how Confessional this album is leaves me appalled. Not many artists would dare write such a beautiful song about miscarriages and struggles of pregnancy, family issues and bipolar, femininity and sexuality this way.

    Manic represents a complete person without filters. Every broken piece set to shine with a beautiful tune like never before.

    Halsey is a force to be reckoned with on this album from her songwriting, to her beautiful vocals. One of the best albums i've heard in a very long time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Manic is perfect blend of different genre. This album gives person every thing too jump on and be angry on country and alternative pop songs to cry on ballots and indie songs. This album is very soothing songs in it are lullabies putting you too sleep. This album is perfect for a teenager whose life is complicated. As halsey is bisexual so many songs in this album are written in such a way so it can attract a wider audience.… Expand

    Uma das coisas coisas mais incríveis de Manic é a diversidade de estilos musicais no álbum (pop, rock, kpop, country...), além das letras muito pessoais e íntimas, que deixam o álbum MUITO emocional. Dá pra sentir a sinceridade no que ela canta, é sensacional.

    Uno de los trabajos más emocionantes de Halsey, en donde tiene canciones de amor hacia otra persona, como hacia ella, pero también de odio. En sí suena muy "ruidoso" en cuanto al mundo del álbum, no en sus sonidos. Es bastante experimental como lo es ella y también expresivo.

    She is a true artist in all senses of the word. This wasn't my favorite album of hers, but even the songs I didn't personally love - I appreciated. I'm sure the interludes added to her artistic vision and story of the album, but I think it could have done without. My favorites are still learning and 3s.. without me will always be such a powerful stunning song, I never get sick of it

    I thought this was a pretty decent album. There are some really good songs, but there are also some really bad songs. My favorites on the album are "3AM" and "You Should Be Sad." I appreciate the range of musical genres and styles. For the most part, I'd say the album is pretty basic and average and left me wanting a little bit more.

The only songs that work on their own are "Without Me", "3am" and "You should be sad". But that’s not a bad thing at all because a cohesive, creative, interesting body of work is so rare these days because all the artists fill their albums with possible radio hits with the same trap beat. The lyrics on this album are also beautiful and deeply personal. Halsey sings about loneliness, bisexuality, (her) mental health, toxic relationships and craving love. Even the interludes are good and interesting and flow really well. It’s also a very experimental album as it experiments with country and rock music. Definitely Halsey‘s best album and one of the best of 2020 so far.

    Halsey brought a process of great evolution in this album, both in sound/production and composition. The only one of their problem is their repetitive songs, which could pass them without wanting to notice the difference between one and the other. Many interludes, and tiresome songs even though they are with good productions and grand iosie compositions. Certainly, your previous album is better.

    Halsey's third studio album finds her leaving behind the idea of adapting a persona as the subject for the record (a thing that was the center of her first two records) and instead finds her singing from her own perspective (notice the little "H3, A01" on the cover?).

    "Manic" is the right name for it: it is filled with so many different sounds and moods, even on the course of one song sometimes . On 'Forever... (is a long time)', Ashley starts singing in a heartfelt way, for it to build to this low dramatic piano interlude, for it to then explode into screams and shouts. The track is the first of the holy trilogy, with 'Dominic's Interlude' and 'I HATE EVERYBODY', all of which almost sound like one long song à la 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Going through the record, one can hear country (the perfectly written 'beautiful stranger / finally', the outraged 'You should be sad'), rock ('3AM'), alternative (the vocally stunning 'More', and '929' which is practically a poem Halsey has decided to just sing), and K-Pop ('Suga's Interlude'). It all sounds so chaotic, yet so cohesive in some way.

    Halsey employs her smartest lyrics ('then I stop cause I don't wanna Uma Thurman your ass' on highlight 'killing boys' might just be the best lyric on the record), and suitable movie references (Clementine from "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" on mesmerizing opener 'Ashley', and from "Jennifer's Body" on 'killing boys').

    The only song that is somehow weak (and still not enough to not make the record), is 'Still Learning', which is an attempt at vulnerability and being confessional, which turns out to be an EDM-based generic miss.

    A leap from its predecessor (the complete mess that was "hopeless fountain kingdom"), "Manic" truly lives up to its title and is truly just THAT, in its sounds, in its aesthetic, in its roll-out.    … Expand

    Once again Halsey brings an album totally cohesive, with illicit compositions and their connection in simple interludes. The sound that comes only from her, and not generic.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Manic marks for her a new apogee in terms of versatility and authenticity.

    A journey through Halsey's personal point of views and life experiences. The choice of not including Nightmare makes even more sense now as Manic is already oversaturated by the abundance of different genres waving through the album, approximately separated by the interludes in three main solid units. The singer's primary strength is found in her songwriting skills, in Manic they leave the more philosophical inquisitions of her past discography in favor of an extemporaneous, still sophisticated expression that puts the listener in a chair right in front of her genuine storytelling. With the exception of a couple of fillers, the songs themselves evince a neat identity while oozing pop fragrances absorbing as much as possible from out-of-pop sounds in order to follow and enhance whatever emotion is brought to the table.

    Highlights: You Should Be Sad, Forever... is a Long Time, Finally // Beautiful Strangers

    Partial scores:
    A.S.S. (average songs score) = 8.0/10
    Overall composition = 7.8/10
    Overall production = 8.3/10
    Overall songwriting = 9.2/10
    Creativity = 8.2/10
    Cohesivity = 7.5/10

    The final score is obtained using the following formula:
    (ASS x 2 + composition x 2 + production x 2 + songwriting x 2 + creativity x 1 + cohesivity x 1)/100 =

    82.3/100

    Manic's final score falls within the category very good albums.    … Expand

    O álbum apresenta uma coesão até certo ponto e nele contém algumas faixas que não acrescentam em absolutamente NADA, fazendo com que o mesmo se torne um pouco cansativo e menos interessante de se ouvir.

    a really cohesive album, one track interconnecting the other, shows us a musical maturity of the artist, the care in choosing each track is evident. We see versatility, the album as a whole has its very peculiar sound, something sounds like country, another sounds like rock, another alternative pop is something definitely unique, an incredible album.

    halsey sem dúvidas entregou seu melhor projeto, e mostrou mais seu lado vulnerável sem a sua figuras de linguagens dos dois primeiros álbuns (que eu amo), mas agora ela veio mais transparente, como ela mesmo gosta de chamar "o primeiro álbum da ashley", ela deixou um um pouco a persona halsey, para ser a pessoa por trás, com letras cruas é uma sonoridade fresa e coesa, mesmo tendo tantoshalsey sem dúvidas entregou seu melhor projeto, e mostrou mais seu lado vulnerável sem a sua figuras de linguagens dos dois primeiros álbuns (que eu amo), mas agora ela veio mais transparente, como ela mesmo gosta de chamar "o primeiro álbum da ashley", ela deixou um um pouco a persona halsey, para ser a pessoa por trás, com letras cruas é uma sonoridade fresa e coesa, mesmo tendo tantos gêneros diferentes num mesmo álbum. embora eu achasse que canções como nightmare precisavam estar no meio, considero o álbum impecável. nota 10 sim e já começam sendo meu álbum favorito de 2020.… Expand

    Un álbum variado que sí duda DEBES prestarle atención. Complejo, lo cuál lo hace muy artístico. Sus sonidos, melodías y letras son perfectamente cuidadas. No es un álbum para cualquiera es muy experimental y expresivo. Muy hermoso. ¿Vale la pena? Desde luego, pero tienes que ponerle atención para entenderlo.

    Phenomenal, her best record yet. Manic offers the perfect amount of insight into Halsey’s mind, while creatively pouring her heart into each individual song. Sonically cohesive yet offers hints of different genres throughout the tracklist. It’s easy to discover something new upon each listen.

    This is a very well-made, confident and daring pop album. There isn't many songs with a lot of replay value to me, but it's an album that is an ambitious and innovative enough to warrant a 7.

    "Manic" is Halsey's best and most cohesive album to date. The album is such a personal look into who Halsey is as a person and an artist.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Manic is Halsey’s most personal & diverse album to date. Every track, while being very different from the others, blend together beautifully. She explores past relationships, certain stances, & even her most personal demons on tracks like “More.” Manic is hard to define under one genre, it’s like she took every major genre, threw them in a blender, & the result is Manic. As a major Halsey fan this is my favorite project to date, definitely more like Badlands than Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, but completely it’s own stand-alone album.… Expand

    Manic is the best album she has ever made. It's so raw, beautiful, and poetic. It truly shows who Ashley is and I honestly prefer it over hfk or badlands. Her brain is so lovely and interesting and I'm so glad she trusts us with it. I love her so much and I'm so proud of her.

    At first I thought this album was kind of weird, because the rhythms were not very reconciled to me, but the lyrics are so personal, I quickly identified myself, and you get used to it haha, I loved it but badlands will always be memorable.

    Freighted by unflinching lyrics, Manic is a magnificent - and magnificently raw - pop confessional. [Apr 2020, p.110]

    The real problem is that the best ideas are outvoted by frustrating ones, leaving us with little touches like the short, yelping-like sound in the second verse of More or the distorted vocals that end killing boys. There are some good moments here, but even the best of them can’t help Halsey get out of her own way.

    Manic is a rich and often confounding listen, an expansive album filled to the brim with the imagined worlds Halsey’s built for herself in the real one. It’s also sincerely, indefatigably Halsey: She puts her loves and ambitions on wholly earnest display, even if it doesn’t always make for the most consistent listen.
