    Estava em coma há 4 anos, foi quando em uma bela tarde minha mãe botou o álbum "rare" para tocar, no mesmo instante despertei do coma e corri pra desligar aquela merda que estava tocando em meu som, sou extremamente grato pela menina selulu

    QUEEN!!!.. of AUTOTUNE and whispering. Her fans should focus on streaming her flop music instead of being on twitter 24/7 dragging every artist they don't like

    I expected more from Ms. Gomez considering that this was supposed to be her comeback album after a 5 year hiatus. Gomez’s 3rd LP is arguably one of her worst works.

    I wanted to hear this album because Lose You To Love me was good and i though the album will have this type of songs but now i can affirm than it didn't, the album have 0 cohesion, it's boring and repetitive, full of the same old rejects from her past album, this album is called rare but i don't see anything rare about it.

    Her best album by far. She found her style and fits so well on her voice. The lyrics are powerful, her vocals are pleasing to hear and the sounds make the album fun and exciting. Rare is perfect..

    This album is a real crap, it is boring, monotonous, repetitive, basic and predictable, one of the worst I have heard in my entire life, a total waste of my time.

    She failed miserably to deliver the message of this album. For an album called "rare" the tracks doesn't correlate very much with the title. Definitely NOT Worth The listen.

    This album is not my favorite by her, I think revival is her best work ever and I miss that era. So sorry but rare isn’t a good album.

    I tried to like it, I really honestly tried but it’s so impossible when you can tell music is not Selena’s passion, this music is not good because she doesn’t put her heart into it. It’s so forced and the lyrics are repetitive trash. I think Selena should be acting, not signing.

    Vulnerable is the best song of the album and the start of the year. I love it so much

    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.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
