Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 83 Entertainment Weekly May 12, 2016 Largely gone are the doo-wop vocals and soulful arrangements of her debut, Title. Instead, with help from producers like Ricky Reed (Fifth Harmony, Jason Derulo), she delivers wide-eyed pre-9/11 pop—and this throwback vibe suits her. 70 AllMusic May 12, 2016 She's smart to keep things light and positive--it's a deliberately youthful sound in an era that yearns for maturity--but by working the same territory so carefully, the seams in her construction are difficult to ignore. 60 Boston Globe May 12, 2016 Trainor continues the self-esteem party on Thank You, and the cracks that were already forming on her debut grow a little wider and deeper on its followup. 50 The New York Times May 12, 2016 She has a round and slightly stodgy voice that’s most effective when it aims lowest, as on the winning novelty song “Dance Like Yo Daddy,” full of quizzical dance instructions (“Can you overbite? Can you old man overbite?”) and doo-wop harmonies over a skronking sax and sock-hop swing. Elsewhere on this spotty album, Ms. Trainor grinds her way through tough-stand songs like “Watch Me Do,” a homage to Destiny’s Child’s “Independent Women (Part 1),” and “Me Too,” where she awkwardly proclaims self-love. 40 Slant Magazine May 12, 2016 One or two of these songs might scan as tongue-in-cheek; nearly half an album's worth is a form of caricature, paying lip service to a millennial generation raised on hollow self-affirmations. 40 The Guardian May 12, 2016 Ultimately, much of Thank You is a bit of a hotchpotch, after her initial efforts were rejected and main producer Ricky Reed called on to conjure up some hits 67 The A.V. Club May 13, 2016 Self-empowerment can shade into self-aggrandizement when it isn’t delivered in a convincing way, and Thank You only periodically rises to the challenge. 20 The Observer (UK) May 16, 2016 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. _____________ _____________ What do you think will be its final score?

Dangerous Man 9,245 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 Hoping it'll be at least 50 tbh, but there's a big chance it'll be below 50, maybe around 45. "A little less conversation and a little more touch my body." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LanasNerfGun 4,679 Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 I predict an optimistic 70 I'm not a fan of Ms. Trainor however she's giving bops on this album so far so I'm hopeful she can redeem herself in the public's eyes Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
