Fun album, but something is not fully clicking.

My wife plays this enough around the house that I'm pretty sure I've listened to the full album multiple times by now. I've always had a soft spot for Miley. I actually really dug Bangerz even if it was appropriating a lot, but stylistically it's fun to see her sound mature over time while still tinged with a sort of "fuck it" attitude. Can't say I was a big fan of her "visual film" for this album as it's basically a long collection of music videos rather than a piece of connective tissue enhancing the experience of the songs.

This album fucking bombing and being forgotten about just shows how dire a state mainstream pop music is in. Easily the best thing I’ve ever heard from her and it seems like nobody gives a fuck.

Also highlights just how intertwined the promo/album release/tour cycle is to the success of an album. She has very meaningful reasons not to tour but it's clear that not fulfilling that part of the cycle decimates album sales since there's little opportunity to keep the album in the public conscious past the initial release.

Agreed that this is quite easily her best album. Stuff like this tends to play better to critics and actual music connaisurs. The fact that it's a commercial flop is kind of a testament to its quality because the most successful pop music tends to be at best basic retreads of once-innovative work and at worst sing-songy stuff like Opalite.

Production is quite muddy here sadly, and most of the music is not that engaging to me. A bit boring with some nice songs. Nothing bad happening here but it just does quite little to me.

okay I'm a year late but this happened and it's (apparently) a beautiful thing, wow
if someone had told me members of Alvvays ft. here then I would've checked it immediately lol what a crazy ft. (and the overall list of people who had a hand in this is quite staggering).
I like the big disco numbers, almost a harkening back to "What's Your Pleasure?" (great album!)-there's certainly a few bangers here. The dialled-back moments are really quite nice also. Cool. Fair play to her.

I like a good number of cuts here but Walk of Fame & Reborn are particularly fantastic. This is such a staggering reinvention, cannot be overstated.

Miley doesn't get enough credit for her artistry. This album seems particularly personal. She's appropriated the hell out of other genres at times, but this one feels genuinely her.

Agreed. This is also easily her best work, and I think it flew under the radar a bit for how strong of a release it is.

Considering bumping this up. The more I listen to it, the more I think it's the best pop album of the 2020s so far (even topping Olivia's latest). The only competition would be if you consider the classical/opera/experimental release from Rosalia as "pop". In that case, this falls to 2nd.

Golden Burning Sun is sooooo good. This really hits a groove in the 2nd half but the first has Something Beautiful. I might bump this. Reaching heady heights now.
also 'Olivia' could never, this on a completely different level of artistry imo

Agreed. Olivia's is a better straightforward catchy mainstream pop record. This is better artistry all around and is still memorable. Depends on what you're in the mood for.

Olivia's album is definitely better imo. This rocks, but that one has way more standout moments to me.
