    The very first few tracks are quite enjoyable, but pretty much all the rest sounds like a cartoonish version of every genre she tries to emulate, with MIDI-quality instrumentals and a totally lifeless production style. It would be wise to stay away from this album.

    Este álbum es pésimo, sólo me gustaron NO y Me Too las demás canciones son taaaaan aburridas. Su peor álbum hasta ahora

    I admire Meghan for the message she's trying to send and there is no doubt that she is a very gifted singer, but this album truly got messed up in translation. Cultural appropriation left and right, narcissistic lyrics aiming to be self-love anthems, and just downright cheesy songs on the album's back half.

    We already had a Simple Plan album this year. We don't need Meghan Trainor to attempt to be actively worse. And while she may have been successful in her attempts, being genuinely worse than Simple Plan is the last thing anyone should strive to be.

    Best Song: Uh... I Love Me, I guess?
    Worst Songs: NO, Me Too, Just A Friend To You, Dance Like Yo Daddy

    Um álbum totalmente fraco, construído sem nenhum conceito ou critério. Algumas faixas soam como descartes do seu último disco, 'Title'. O mais espantoso é que ela conseguiu regredir mais ainda que a estreia totalmente morna do seu disco de estreia. 'Thank You' tinha tudo pra ser uma evolução, por mais que - o seu primeiro single - 'NO' seja só mais um faixa catchy em forma de hit nasUm álbum totalmente fraco, construído sem nenhum conceito ou critério. Algumas faixas soam como descartes do seu último disco, 'Title'. O mais espantoso é que ela conseguiu regredir mais ainda que a estreia totalmente morna do seu disco de estreia. 'Thank You' tinha tudo pra ser uma evolução, por mais que - o seu primeiro single - 'NO' seja só mais um faixa catchy em forma de hit nas rádios pop, havia a esperança de que agora a cantora construísse uma personalidade consistente. Em um mundo de 'Lemonade' de Beyoncé, fica difícil se animar ouvindo o disco da americana Meghan Trainor. Nem mesmo um prêmio de grande tamanho como o de melhor artista relevação do Grammy de 2016 convence que realmente ela é merecedora de qualquer prêmio desse nível, que seja, ou que ela esteja nos dando o seu melhor. O talento dela pode até existir e eu não duvido, mas ele se perde no meio de tantas faixas querendo soar como outros artistas ou na tamanha capacidade de que ela tem pra se empoderar e se amar de forma vazia e sem qualquer causa.… Expand

    Meghan needs to say "thank you' for her last album and now apologize for making this piece of garbage. These generic songs could be given to anyone and are in no way unique.

    Her album is trash. very generic songs and they sound like the same. It is not 2000 it's 2016! And she can't sing or dance. People should not buy this album

    the most generic album since Britney Jean (2013), thank god, at least she has a good voice. I know that she's a beginner, i hope Thank You era do a great slayage in the charts and i'm also expecting mature songs. My fave by far is 'Kindly Calm Me Down'

    M-Train's follow up to her debut may be all fun and games but - wait.... it is all fun and games! Really bad, cheesy, cringe-worthy fun and games. Thank You is a mixed bag of cheap production, shallow lyrics, and rarely ( and I mean reaaalllly rarely) solid songs which are quite decent. The best on the album is undoubtedly the lead single, 'NO', smart move on M.T.'s part. 'Better' isM-Train's follow up to her debut may be all fun and games but - wait.... it is all fun and games!

The best on the album is undoubtedly the lead single, 'NO', smart move on M.T.'s part. 'Better' is another decent song, nothing stellar or really interesting, but good, clean production and her vocals sound great. Now we get to a problem... 'Champagne Problems' could have made a really great album closer but the BEYOND STUPID "fun" lyrics about having bad wifi and hoping your Uber isn't late really ruin what could have been a decent song. Second single 'Me Too' is almost laughable- the dated production and tongue-in-cheek lyrics on this song are displayed across the whole album. Did she write some of these tracks in 5 minutes? I mean COME ON. I was really rooting for Meghan but this album is a huge let down.… Expand

    As the lead single says, this album is a NØ, her voice is a NØ, the songwriting is a NØ. It's just awful, really, it's not a good album, not even close. I used to kind of like her until she released 'Title' and all of the sounds sounded the same and they were awful and repetitive. Is this as bad as Title? Yes. Is it worst? Thank God no.

    I listen to the radio. And I hear this BULLSH*T. I hear repetition, lack in songwriting talent and interesting production. All the records sound the same and have boring themes. If you feel inspired by this album, you should have a good long look at yourself in the mirror because you're drowning your ears in literal ear cancer. Sell out.

    Yeah, she has some catchy songs, but she tries too hard to reach the top of the charts. In the process, she loses her sense of self, artistry and credibility. She's a manufactured pop star who can sing, but lacks the creativity and the chops to pull off this act.

    Terrible music made in a factory where they strap her to a machine to change her voices. I heard this single or two and it had very trashy lyrics....not for children who are 15+

    Is she good at writing catchy songs? Yes. Is she good at presenting anything that seems authentic or anything that is done for the sake of music rather than for the sake of making money? Absolutely not.

    I still feel the need to putting her even more down than this but my god, is it bad. So on itunes too, she gets mixed/bad reviews. It's almost like people is warning you, "this is crap, don't buy it" "No, Meghan" "why would I want to be you?" It has 3 stars out of 5, which in itunes is super rare to get for a big artist with so many fans but boy, they can't handle her badness this time.I still feel the need to putting her even more down than this but my god, is it bad.

But the public so far has bought it, more so than they should've had, so I have to contribute and tell you, avoid it. And they have ignored other more worthy artists in order to support this and that is a No.
    Please, please, I don't want to see this album or any song from it in the top 10 again or her receiving any awards for her super mediocre music. She is the worst artist we've had in years and my least favorite by miles.    … Expand

    None of her attitude on this album is remotely convincing or justified. I guess she just went for R&B because it would make her sound more convincing and badass, but it totally doesn't work. This album doesn't even have the moments that Title had. Sometimes the production is ok? But this is just a sad attempt to play it safe.

    Disgusting. How is this even considered music. Sooooooo overrated and absolutely atrocious. Meghan Trainor is everything that is wrong with mainstream music, along with the terrible Chainsmokers.

    Trainor just isn’t a convincing pop star. While the Britney-lite lead single No has its moments, most of the other songs are identity-free filler

    Thank You is an interesting album in that it shows musical growth for Meghan Trainor while simultaneously moving her closer to the more homogenous sound of mainstream pop. It’s not great by any means, but it is definitely catchy and easy to sing along with.

    The self-infatuation on this album is less attempted-clever and more ambient, a body-posi constant that gives the plethora of tasty palm-muted figures and colorful production settings a semblance of gravity even if it becomes the favorite of the “Yaaas queen”-abusing straight Facebook friend you had to unfollow.
