    What are we even talking about? This album was just made up to use the success of Sweetener so Ariana and her label could make more money. It has 3/12 good songs (bloodline, the title track and fake smile. It's kinda useless and so disappointing that Ariana has to do this boring songs while she could make grat albums like Dangerous Woman. So, I gotta say, without a thank you... NEXT!

    I've looked through the critic's reviews of this album and I just cannot understand, after multiple listens through this record, the hype around this. Every. Single. Song. On. This. Album. Sounds. The. Same.

    I cannot make this up. For the most part, apart from maybe two or three songs scattered across this album, these tracks are not distinguishable from each other. They all include trap-influenced production solely to chart, as you could stick any one of these songs on and not even know the difference between them.

    There are a couple of tracks on here which actually sound distinguishable and memorable, such as the lead single to this album, 'thank u, next', a lovely 90s, R&B throwback song with some of Ariana's most personal lyrics yet. Another highlight is the cut 'ghostin' which contains her strongest vocal performance on the album and the most laid-back instrumental, a refreshing break from the barrage of trap-influenced cut after trap-influenced cut. The track '7 rings', which I did not like prior to the release of this record actually sounds MEMORABLE here, which does say something about the sonic diversity of this record, as it contains some clean production and a pretty nice flow near the back end of the track, but apart from a couple of production quirks on a couple of different songs on here, these tracks are just totally forgettable.

    The album, as a whole, is not unlike 6ix9ine's 'Dummy Boy' record, released last year, in terms of PR. A mediocre album rushed because a certain artist is in the news, with as many 'bangers' it can fit in, so Spotify can spam their curated playlists with each one, and usually because of the buzz behind one particular single. It really does say something about this record that I remember more tracks off of **** DUMMY BOY than this piece of **** record.

    I mean seriously. Listen to the tracks 'make up', 'in my head' and 'break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored' and tell me the difference between those cuts. There is none. They sound exactly the same, and that is the core problem with this album.

    It really pains me to have to give this score, because I really like Ariana Grande, I think her music is some of the most eclectic and daring in mainstream pop music today, peaking with Sweetener, an album I really really liked, and this pales in comparison to albums like Sweetener and Dangerous Woman. At least those albums sounded like it had an artistic direction, or an actual music passion, this sounds like a cash-in album.

    This is a pointless record and I hate the fact I'll have to hear this over and over again on the radio and pop charts because of how popular this album will be.

    Shameful stuff, it's like Ariana and her producers weren't even trying.

    The album is boring, as all song sound nearly identical. I can give her credit as the self love themes are quite nice, but they degenerate into pure selfishness as we arrive at break up with your girlfriend. Lyrically, the songs are childish, and the album shows no growth between sweetener and thank u, next. In my opinion, it is really overrated, much like Ariana herself.

I have never listened to an album that feels as much of a product as this album does it just feel like calculated sounds made solely for commercial success. The music meh.. the only song that I really liked was needy, because it's the only song that feels personal. But hearing how she was forced to put that on the album by her manager makes me sick.
    Artists need to take control over their art and put out what they feel passionate abou. Not what the music moguls force them to make for high commercial success.

    Unbelievably overrated.

    Juvenile musings on a bankrupt world view and lifestyle that ends only in personal delusion and despair. There are some quality, musically uplifting moments (Breathin), some up down bounce and fun, but no amount of sugar and spice can save this album from the vapid, hollow ideology driving it all.

    Miserable, soulless candy..

    Impersonal, Incomplete & Irritating. Ms Grande's Album feels off, at the first listen it sounds cohesive however this win gets lost amongst the various trap beats and repetitive lyrics. The 'bad girl' Persona Grande is desperately trying to convey fails to do it's job, perhaps in the next six months when she rushes to put out another Album Grande decides to go for another Character to play.

    Terrible. I don't see much evolution whatsoever from her previous album, Sweetener, of which the only improvement made throughout THIS album is that she kicked Pharrell off of the production team. The only "good" (and I say that with hesitation) songs found on this album are Imagine and ghostin. Overall disappointing.

    I'd be lying if I said I disliked every single track. I'd say "Bloodline" and "Ghostin" are the two standout tracks of this album, but unfortunately, everything else about it just weighs it down. The general sound of the album with the Hip-Hop/Trap beats just doesn't fit Ariana Grande at all. Her style is more Pop and R&B, that's where she shines, but this just really falls flat.

The general sound of the album with the Hip-Hop/Trap beats just doesn't fit Ariana Grande at all. Her style is more Pop and R&B, that's where she shines, but this just really falls flat. The album as a whole does not truly showcase her vocals. We get an element of that in "In My Head" when she sings the title of the track, which is the high point, but then follows that with the "Skrrt, skrrt" which completely ruins it, like seriously?
    The album's singles are some of the worst Ariana has ever put out in her career. "7 Rings" is just awful, Ariana basically flexes like a rapper over trap sounds and it makes her look and sound like a total poser. "Break Up with Your Girlfriend, I'm Bored" is incredibly irritating and vapid. As mentioned before, the trap sound just doesn't work, and just like "7 Rings", it is the complete antithesis of what Ariana stands for. "Thank U, Next" was okay at best, I appreciate the lyrics -minus the totally unnecessary F bombs in the chrous- but the production is still rather dull and boring and I wouldn't put it on my iTunes or Spotify.
    The songs are forgettable, the singles are a joke, and whatever messages she does try to convey in the album tracks are completely lost by such a lackluster and undesirable production, with the exception of "Bloodline" and "Ghostin".
    Overall, this was a really disappointing delivery from Ariana Grande. Just go listen to Sweetener instead.

If this is ongoing sympathy for her extremely difficult circumstances these past few years, it’s not doing her musical legacy any favors. Everything here is so trendy that it’s stale by the time you’re done listening to it. Nothing authentic or timeless.

    Ariana: you can do so much better. And you’re a singer, so stop whispering and talking throughout four minutes of a song just because it’s trendy. You’re sufficiently talented to set trends rather than follow them.

    Generic! A lot of screams with no reason.
    At least I liked sweetener. Bloodline best track in the album.

    The most mediocre album of the decade. Futile lyrics that combine in totality with the singer who gives voice to him It's unbelievable to see an average of 86 for something so mean

    Lixo de álbum
    Péssimo, péssimo, péssimo. Sem sombra de dúvidas é um dos piores álbuns que já ouvi. Lembras bobas e infantis, sem conceito, nada de importante pra história.

    Worst album ever. All the songs sounds the same.. Everything is so generic. Lyrical content is so messed up.

    This album is the worst I've heard, and the part in 7 rings where she sings 'I write my own checks like I write what I sing' I'm like girll do you really need 10 people to help you write a check, bc Ari just can't write... Sorry but that's just my opinion

    Occasionally, rarely, a record comes along that restores our faith. If this is the future of pop-music, then sign me up.

    thank u, next builds on Sweetener by switching modes of scale. It’s less about looking at the world than being by yourself, more focused on the textures of memory than our actions stemming from it. ... thank u, next is also Ariana’s most stunning vocal album.

    [7 Rings] is a hit, but isn’t actually all that great, using Rodgers and Hammerstein’s My Favourite Things as its sing-song musical base. The rest of the album remains of interest for its evolutions in sound, delivery and attitude.
