Her best album to date without a doubt, and another superb record packed to the brim with pop fluff goodness. Balanced and decently well paced, the production is a little divisive at points in that it feels forced, but the confidence of Grande's delivery and the way she has capitalised on the Trap elements pay dividends. It's final three tracks are really worth the wait and are the highlight of the record for sure, whilst Imagine, NASA and Bloodline are the strong points of the first half.

I was surprisingly pleased with this album. I don't think it's anything special or even particularly good but I was surprised that it wasn't bad. I thought a lot of the songs were unoriginal and formulaic. I didn't care for some of the pop-ified hip hop influences, they came off more as biting someone else's style rather than homage to me (especially when she steals the exact cadence from "Pretty Boy Swag" on "7 rings"). Most of it is catchy radio tunes aimed at a young and impressionable audience but there are a few tracks that can actually stand up as something worth something. I thought that "needy" and "fake smile" were both great songs. Great production and excellent vocals along with quality songwriting concerned with introspection on both. The two radio hits, "thank u, next" and "break up with your boyfriend, i'm bored", are also both enjoyable and so is "imagine". Ariana Grande is a supremely talented singer. I would be very interested if she were to ever make an album without focusing on the plays. I also hope her fan base never finds out about this website because they would destroy the all time charts.

This is the second best album of 2019 and we're into the third month? I seriously hope this year gets better.

I'm impressed by the quality of this album by Ariana Grande ... I do not like POP ... but I did not listen to a POP album with this level since Michael Jackson albums ... Ariana Grande is the greatest.

I too never thought I'd like Ariana Grande's record. I've always disliked her as a performer and musician, and now I find myself liking her album. Favourite track is certainly Ghostin, the second part of Bad Idea is probably my favourite 2 minutes on the album, but the first half of that song is pretty meh. As an album it's not too shabby, relatively cohesive and interesting enough to listen to several times. The biggest issue is the overuse (or any use for that matter) of trendy trap beats, which don't suit her songs and are just thrown in cause that's "in" right now. Unlike many people I don't like her voice too much, but this time around it didn't bother me much. All in all solid stuff, would definitely love to see her progress into something more interesting in the future!

Unlike other pop artist of today's radio, Ariana Grande does quality. Since her first albums, she knows where she is going and she goes there. Despite the critics, she knows release really interesting and not generic pop songs. She is a real artist that I really respect. His new album "thank u, next" is by far the best album, at least the most accomplished. Ariana Grande is really creating a universe through this very good pop album. The songs are actually very well produced and the lyrics are much better than most other pop star. Very good job, I applaud the originality and the beautiful voice of Ariana on this album...

8/10

Best track: "break up with your girlfriend, i'm bored"

Exemplary pop album. Ghostin for Mac. Simply well done.
