    Ariana didnt’t do nothing but give us the trap vibes we are tired to see. Seems like the ascend pop girl’s trying to enter in a rap game she can’t handle, if we analyse the whole album. It’s incohesive, super repetitive and enjoative at the same time, excluding the tracks “Ghostin” and “Bad Idea” which give the real great vocal range and personal lyrics, strong content & production with aAriana didnt’t do nothing but give us the trap vibes we are tired to see.

    It's very boring and the lyrics are trash...She has good songs like Bloodline, Imagine, Ghostin and In My Head but everything else is really bad.

    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

    Taking into account Ariana's previous work "thank u, next" is the most generic and poorest in terms of lyric that she has done so far.

    Her worst album, it's so basic, monotonous and simple, I don't like Sweetener but it's better than this sh*t, where's the real Ari? where??? I miss her!!!

    This is miles better than her previous album "Sweetener" but some parts of this album feel inauthentic and superficial. Highlights are: "needy", "fake smile", "ghostin" and "in my head". Lows are: "make up", "thank u, next", "7 rings" and "nasa".

    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..

    This just isn't a good album, it was rushed and lacked cohesiveness, try again later, gather your ideas properly Ariana

    This album is one of the worst pop records I've ever heard. Severely autotuned with lazy meaningless lyrics.

    Full of copied tracks! It gives me the vibes of 1989 of Taylor Swift. 7 Rings is lyrically awful. The title track, 'Thank u next!', is a straight scrap from the rejected songs of Avril Lavigne. Such a mediocre album!

    Uma verdadeira bomba. Ariana deveria ter focado no álbum anterior e feito dele algo memorável. Esse novo parece uma B-SIDE do anterior cheio de musicas descartáveis.

    Really not what I'm expecting from her, I can't get songs like break up with your boyfriend cause I'm bored, if you're bored then just go to sleep no need to separate the other this is just such nonsense. Have to admit that production on this album is outstanding but the lyrically in this album is so poor and there's some song that doesn't have a good message.

And had to mention she killed her ex-boyfriend just so she can release an album to thank them for making her success. What a shame. So glad this album that she sacrifice her ex-boyfriend to make doesn't get album of the year at Grammy's.… Expand

    Made in rush. Boring. Full of fillers. She is not even using her vocals as she should anymore and that is her strongest element. Weak lyric, lame production. We already heard this. Such a waste. TRASH. Better luck next time ARIOLA.

    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.
