    Such a generic album full of "yuh". It contains weakest lyrics and basic production.

    Overrated. Only bc it feels rushed and Ariana can do so much better... Maybe one or two more months. However i wont say this is calculated, she is an artist, and her music express how she feels, this point out my third reason of why i dont like this record: trap. The genre ruins music. Maybe with other prodution she could have the change the game. But the public was satisfied so... I guessOverrated. Only bc it feels rushed and Ariana can do so much better...

    I honestly expected more. I guess vocals were sometimes pretty good, But this album is lyrically trash. In 7 Ring Grande sing "I like to write what I sing" I really hope she wroted it, not one of her 10000 writers on this album.

    Grande’s evolution is still quit bland and dull. Although it has some excellent songs like ghostin & in my head , it is often overshadowed by the same cliché pop/trap sounds with basic lyrics despite writing it with 5 writer at minimum

    Such a vague album with too much repetition of meaningless yuh. The only half decent song would be in my head

    Too many fillers.. Not a good album.. She should not name drop on her exes.. Not to say.. Her fandom is a bully in a music industry..

    Every other song sounds the same. It’s basic and generic pop music that every other pop star makes. Personally the only song I enjoyed was “Imagine”

    One of the most overrated singers of all time. There's nothing special or talented about her or her music. This album is the definitive proof that she's not worth of all her success.

    Very overhyped. The singles kept the entire album afloat but other than that it has a generic trap vibe which is given to most of the songs on the album. It doesn't showcase Ariana's amazing vocals.

    Perfect example of how popular music has became absolute trash. The songs do not make up an album of any sort of meaning nor completeness. Nor do they have any meaning in each of them.

    This album is really average, has no special features, and it is no different from his last album. It’s a piece of it.

    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.
