    I was expecting something like Revival in terms of quality and bops but I instead got a lethal injection

    Monótono, lotado de autotune, bizzaro como a voz dela ta diferente em cada faixa, alem do mais n tem identidade, segue apenas fórmulas.

    It had good songs but, I feel that it's something that anyone could bring us, SHE IS SELENA GOMEZ and i now she can do it better.

    definitely not worth listening. i’m not her fan at all, a long time passed since her last album, she’s been through a lot and i expected something different, grown up woman who says she moved on from her last relationship i expect to hear songs about something different, but no every song is about her boyfriend who let me remind you is happily married man. tracks on the album are in weirddefinitely not worth listening. i’m not her fan at all, a long time passed since her last album, she’s been through a lot and i expected something different, grown up woman who says she moved on from her last relationship i expect to hear songs about something different, but no every song is about her boyfriend who let me remind you is happily married man. tracks on the album are in weird order, not corresponding at all. such a mess, since i liked her songs from her first albums i expected a lot more.… Expand

    It's more of the same, it has only 3 good songs, the rest feels like stuffing.

    I love Selena, but this album is not good. I can’t believe this is the first time I dislike something from her.

    The album is soo bad and boring. Nothing exciting, very generic. Most songs sound the same not to mention her horrible singing. She can’t sing.

    Had high hopes for the album as people where hyping it up. Listened to it yesterday and i honestly hate it. Revival is better. Some songs sound like they were rushed or the production sounded off. Wont be listening again!!

    The vocals just aren’t doing it for me. Songs sound like Julia Michaels demos with strange syncopations that could have been created by toddlers and someone please get this girl some singing lessons.

    This album all sounds the same, has no artistic growth what so ever, Justin outsold, out streamed, and out impacted.

    we waited 4 years for that .....
    The album is too cohesive, everything sounds the same. The only AMAZING song in the album is lose you to love me.

    Rare continually teases intriguing forays into leftfield pop, but so many of the album’s experiments come off as just that, without ever crystallizing with memorable hooks.

    The record she has delivered to kickstart a new decade is a career defining release, and from a pop star who is firmly back on top of her game.

    While none of these 13 songs attempt the subtle weirdness of “Bad Liar” and the emotional thesis—self-love!—can be a bit one-note, Rare is the 27-year-old’s most cohesive record to date. ... But it’s difficult to come away from Rare with any real perspective on who Gomez is other than that she doesn’t want to be the person she was, whoever that similarly mysterious shadow was.
