    The whole album is amazing since "Revival" to "Rise". Also the Deluxe Version is also amazing. Every single track is really good. Revival is a Masterpiece.

    I am not really feeling this album. I think it is time for her to stop singing/talking about her ex. I only liked 1 song on it. The rest is very boring.

    Selena's albums all felt the same, except A Year Without Rain - that kinda felt different.
    This album has a similar but much stronger effect. This is a totally new Selena, with totally new sounds & lyrics.
    Not only has she executive produced it, she has also been listed in the composition of 11 songs which in my opinion has contributed to the difference the listeners feel in this album.    Selena's albums all felt the same, except A Year Without Rain - that kinda felt different.

    The album, in my opinion, is divided into: empowerment songs, love-linked songs, and songs that should not be there.
    Empowerment songs of Revival: 1. Revival (self-empowerment) // 2. Kill Em With Kindness (self-empowerment & dealing with the world full of negativity) // 8. Me & The Rhythm (empowering you to lose yourself to the music/the rhythm) // 11. Rise // 12. Me & My Girls (themes of female power).
    Love-linked songs: 3. Hands to Myself // 4. Same Old Love // 5. Sober // 6. Good For You // 7. Camouflage // 13. Nobody // 14. Perfect // 15. Cologne
    Songs that should not be there: 9. Survivors & 10. Body Heat. These songs feel like they've been written in 10 seconds, they feel like a total waste of Selena's skills and a lack of representation of her abilities.    … Expand

    Revival is such an amazing album it is so authentic and truly speaks of who she is and what she feels. I honestly think this should be at least nominated for best pop album next year at the Grammys.

    Mainsteam, factory produced pop junk for the masses. The lyrics are so childish and uninspired that it's disgusting. Skip this album at all costs cuz it's overproduced and her vocals are very weak.

    She really grow up in the right way, and this album is more than I have expected from her.
    Revival show a new Selena, one who is not scared to speak about hers life, finally free of Disney Corp.

"Sober " , " Nobody" and "Perfect" are my favorite tracks on the CD because they are very sexy and report some experiences I've had in life , which is very interesting because it is very good when the artist behind your experience through a song and when that touch millions of hearts . "Good For You" is a wonderful music if not for the A $ AP destroying the track , seriously , she could have chosen a better rapper.

    Selena se reinventou nesse álbum, parou com as modinhas, fez o que queria e devia fazer. O resultado é algo que beira a perfeição, algo que ninguém esperava que ela fazia, o seu verdadeiro renascimento.

    Good to see that each album is improving to the point that shows the quality of the music that this girl can create, it is best that each song has the potential to make this a great musical work, simply must improve with regard to the promotion of their new projects.

    Selena truly surprised us all with this album. The vocals, the lyrics, the productions, etc. are all extraordinary and sensational. She really proved herself this time. "I feel like I've awakened lately, the chains around me are finally breaking", she opens up the album. This line alone obliterated her peers.

"Good For You" "Same Old Love" and "Sober" are all a bunch of classics. The album is ideal for all moods. Wanna to party? "Me & the Rhythm". Your boyfriend just cheated on you? "Perfect". Night out with your girls? "Me & My Girls". And to give credit where its due, Justin Tranter and Julia Michaels are lyrical geniuses. Selena definitely showcased her artistic growth with this album. Pure excellence.… Expand

    Selena has finally found her sound & made her own name as an artist. Revival shines through with enough variety to give even the biggest names in music a run for their money.

While not being the best vocalist, Gomez makes up for that by having an enjoyable voice utilized in different & unique ways through great pop songs. She has grown up the most gracefully compared to her young disney peers, unlike Cyrus she has a bubbly personality without the scandals & unlike Lovato, she doesn't try hard and has a natural charm. This album is pop music at its best & it is worth a listen as I recommend it to anyone of any age.… Expand

    It appears that Selena has found her voice with this album. Fun and sultry tracks throughout the entire album. There were a couple of misses in my opinion within the album, but also some great gems in Camouflage, Revival, and Kill Em With Kindness.

    Um avanço em qualidade musical incrível. As letras são boas e a produção de bom gosto. Selena colocou dois singles no top 10, vamos ver se ela consegue manter esse nível de sucesso nos próximos :3

    Definitely Selena's best album yet. It embraces her good voice and she no longer sings "dumb pop". More mature and more eloquent. Pleasantly surprised with the R&B tinge in many of the songs, it suits her. Still a lot more work required before she can solidify her place in the pop realm but she is certainly on the right track. Next album please no ' Justin Bieber' makeup/breakup songs.Definitely Selena's best album yet. It embraces her good voice and she no longer sings "dumb pop". More mature and more eloquent.

    This is Selena's best album. I think she made a mistake about the bonus tracks. Me & My Girls could be on the Standard version, just like Perfect.

The lyrics do not disappoint, and the production is impeccable, and in my opinion, Revival x Confident is a foolThis is Selena's best album. I think she made a mistake about the bonus tracks.

    Revival é um ótimo álbum, posso dizer que é o melhor da Selena. Ela realmente renasceu das cinzas e nos deu um trabalho quase impecável. Com uma voz deslumbrante e ritmo suave, o material surpreende até a quem não gosta de trabalho teen.

    Pontos altos: Me & My Rhythm, Revival, Sober
    Pontos baixos: Hands To Myself, Loco, Survivors

    Song for song, Revival rivals Carly Rae Jepsen's Emotion for breakout pop album of the year, but if it similarly falls short of greatness, it's due in large part to a lack of originality.

    There’s enough growth here to accept the occasional stumble. Revival, like ‘Good For You’, is a damn fine, hook-laden surprise. Selena Gomez has found a voice worth paying serious attention to.

    Revival is an audacious name for a 23-year-old singer's second album, but from start to finish, Gomez earns it. This is the sound of a newly empowered pop artist growing into her strengths like never before.
