    don’t know how olivia rodrigo keeps getting away with it, someone needs to stop her because i make her my personal therapist!!! at only 20 years old, her songwriting is just top tier and incomparable to any of her fellow artists that debuted less than 3 years ago. she encapsulated the girl experience in 36 minutes perfectly

It’s fun to so hear how much she has developed, both sonically and lyrically, and the songs are so well produced as well. You have to take a listen!

I think she has matured a lot from sour and was able to bring her amazing songwriting with her to this album.

    First of all, I really wanted Olivia to switch to this genre, but in her terms. A really bold album. Considering that we aren't in a scene where Rock/Punkish albums rule the world like in the early 2000s. It feels edgy in a positive sense. It sounds like a classic record.

    Olivia Rodrigo's sophomore album, GUTS, is a bold and ambitious step forward from her critically acclaimed debut, Sour. The album is a more mature and experimental exploration of Rodrigo's songwriting, with a heavier focus on rock and pop-punk influences.

    At first listen, GUTS may not grab you in the same way that Sour did. The songs are more complex and less immediately catchy, and the    Olivia Rodrigo's sophomore album, GUTS, is a bold and ambitious step forward from her critically acclaimed debut, Sour. The album is a more mature and experimental exploration of Rodrigo's songwriting, with a heavier focus on rock and pop-punk influences.

    At first listen, GUTS may not grab you in the same way that Sour did. The songs are more complex and less immediately catchy, and the album's overall tone is darker and more introspective. However, with repeated listens, GUTS reveals itself to be a truly special album. The songs are well-crafted and emotionally resonant, and Rodrigo's vocals are powerful and expressive.

    One of the things that makes GUTS so special is its honesty. Rodrigo doesn't shy away from exploring difficult topics, such as heartbreak, betrayal, and self-doubt. She sings with raw vulnerability, and her lyrics are both relatable and thought-provoking.

    The album's sound is also a departure from Sour. The guitars are louder and more distorted, and the drums are more aggressive. This gives the album a more visceral and energetic feel. However, the album still retains some of the sweetness and tenderness of Sour, thanks to Rodrigo's vocals and the occasional use of softer instrumentation.

    Overall, GUTS is a remarkable album that shows Olivia Rodrigo's growth as an artist. It is a more mature and complex work than Sour, but it is also just as emotionally powerful. GUTS is sure to become a classic, and it is the best sophomore album in a long time.

    I highly recommend GUTS to anyone who is a fan of Olivia Rodrigo or pop-punk music in general. It is an album that will stay with you long after you've listened to it.    … Expand

    Concise lyricism and a committed/confident sound make this a fun and authentic album. Olivia knows what she’s doing with her vocals and is showing growth in both her sound and her maturity lyrically.

    This album for me felt like a huge step up from Sour. Like she's truly found her sound & set herself apart from comparisons & proved herself as an artist. I liked Sour but didn't love it. I love this album & think it's 1 of my top 3 of the year. The people that are giving this album a 0 should listen to Corey Feldmans Angelic To The Core to find out what a real 0 sounds like.

    A strong follow-up to Sour. It has pretty great production value, a crisp, dynamic sound and Olivia is such a talented songwriter, lots of catchy songs while still perfectly conveying different emotions through them.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Un comienzo muy fuerte, con canciones que me alegro que estén como las primeras canción del álbum. Después salieron canciones que los primeros 10 segundos sentía que no me gustarían pero gracias a la letra tan realista y voz de Olivia me hicieron volverla a amar la canción, cosa que esta bien pero es algo a destacar. Este álbum es una ola de emociones e intensidad. Sientes como lentamente de pasar a canciones poderosas y de enojo desciendes a las canciones mas crudas y realistas posibles. Me encanto esa sensación.… Expand

    This time Olivia Rodrigo went so original that you can’t compare her songs with anyones. It kinda reminds of some rock artists, but still has one hundred percent of her personality. The personality of a girl teenager living thru love, fights, and the fears of real life.

    This album is pretty different from SOUR, it’s an actual step forward. It’s obviously targeted to teenagers and young adults, but that doesn’t make it bad. The songs feel like they’re from the 2000s and honestly that’s sick!! I like that she took the risk to use a non-mainstream genre to do her sophomore album it really shows that she’s doing what she enjoys and she’s doing it good!!.This album is pretty different from SOUR, it’s an actual step forward.

    It's great, Olivia is giving us something fresh after many Clasic and Comercial pop, my favs are the slow down songs. I think Olivia is finding her sound. The she wrote the song, and the way she is so literal to giving us a story or just a feeling is so incredibly. There are two songs in the album that remember me to Drivers License, some notes are similarly and it's giving me nostalgic bcIt's great, Olivia is giving us something fresh after many Clasic and Comercial pop, my favs are the slow down songs.

    “Teenage Dream” recycles a song title of Katy Perry’s and echoes a twisty-turny melody of Lana Del Rey’s. Yet Rodrigo’s emotional presence is so strong throughout “Guts” — so believable even at its most unrelatable — that you never lose the sense of a specific young person navigating a trial of her own making.

    GUTS is emphatic proof that Rodrigo isn't just good for a kid -- she's grown into an artist with plenty of things to say, and the confidence and eloquence to say them her way.
