i’m a rock demi apologist so i was apprehensive about this at first, but this was a solid album. i think she finally found the subgenre of pop that really works for her. frequency and sorry to myself are my favorites right now

Loving this album but still hoping Demi doesn’t let go of rock completely  HOLY FVCK is still one of their best projects.

Not going to lie, this is the most generic album she's ever made, let's be real here. Considering how short it is, I wouldn't be surprised if she heard Brat last year and wanted her own version of it in the hope of getting similar success (I also think Zara Larsson did the same with Midnight Sun just a few weeks ago). Kiss, much as I like it, is totally ripping off Guess. But saying that, every other song was decent enough. It literally was good-bad-good-bad from tracks 1-11. Fast, Frequency, Sorry to Myself, Say It, Kiss and Ghost are the big standouts and the rest, while certainly not terrible, were unremarkable. But then, if the whole album played from beginning to end, I wouldn't feel the need to skip any as it's extremely cohesive and no track outstays its welcome. 

But please, Demi, don't sell out again and go back to making rock. Holy Fvck was her best ever album and to go from that to this is nothing short of criminal. I don't get why critics have ranked this as her best ever album and saying that this is her perfect sound. I think her voice sounded much better previously, she's holding back here and is just trying to get a mainstream hit this time. The silver lining to not achieving any with the most mainstream sound will hopefully be her returning to the rock sound as she knows she's got nothing to lose now.
