    I’m not a fan of her but this album is SO good! I think this is Selena’s best album so far and her vocals improved as well. La times? Comparing her with Ariana grande? So unprofessional, don’t be biased guys just cause you are Ariana fans clearly. Selena’s album is better by miles! Congratulations Selena!

    Literally one of the best album I've ever heard! Selena Gomez has really shown growth throughout her albums, and this is her best work yet! It's so cohesive, and the vibe of it all just takes you to a different space, especially in dance again, vulnerable, let me get me, and a sweeter place. 10/10, period.

    Best tracks: ***Crowded Room, Ring, Let Me Get Me, Kinda Crazy, & Rare. After a seemingly endless four years, we (Selena’s dedicated fans/Selenators) finally got what we were hoping for. The songs are catchy, lyrical-gold tracks with a very old-timey feel (Ring, for example, transports me back to the 1920’s). We want to see this album shine.

    Unique and versatile album. Selena’s best album so far because she is allowing her vulnerability to lead her fans to see through her real self. An original and genuine person which is a lot of artists do not have nowadays. She evolved from producing songs that SOUNDS LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN POP to BEING ORIGINAL and owning her voice which made this rare album a 10/10.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.
