Tbh I've only heard Confident onward, but even some of that didn't age well. I think she's really underrated and trashed for no reason.

I would say best albums are It's Not That Deep (literally no skips!) or Tell Me You Love Me.

Dancing With The Devil has some great songs but way too many and lots of skips imo. I love her honesty and authenticity.

Definitely Holy Fvck. Rock vocals are where she excels. I was disappointed when she created her best, most acclaimed album, saying it was where she felt her most authentic...and then dropped all of that to create a sell-out, super mainstream dance album with It's Not That Deep (how it got her best ever reviews, I'll never know). And don't get me wrong, it's not bad, but it's just ok. When you've seen what Demi's truly capable of, hearing that album just sounds like what it is: a Brat rip-off. As for her older work, Confident still slaps, even Unbroken. But pretty much all her work is decent, she's been one of the few former Disney girls who's like that.

Her discography is so underrated and very high quality IMO. Each album is at the very least pretty good, and they have consistently gotten better each time.

I respect your opinion and I also had reservations about INTD, but I really enjoyed that project start to finish, she was able to serve high energy dance music with strong vocals and (contrary to the album title) introspective lyrics, many with double meaning.

If we're talking albums as a whole, I find INTD to be her best. HF was great, but just not the genre I go to. The production is amazing though.

She could still sell dance music very well but her vocals just weren't at the place we know she can take them. INTD felt so restrained, especially given the small amount of tracks and song lengths, like she was hoping to hit people with a short and sweet project to make it be more noticeable. While she was probably just keeping in step with dance tradition of short tracks, it gave the impression of being thrown together very quickly. Its timing is extremely suspicious considering Brat had broken through the previous year and it was like she wanted to capitalise on a resurgence of dance music and nothing more. I like a good half of that album - Frequency, Say It and Kiss especially (the whole album should've been on that level) but the other half was just your run-of-the-mill forgettable dance music that we've heard before. Very consistent though, I could easily play it from beginning to end with no skips but it wouldn't necessarily be the most fulfilling listen even so. You think she pulls it off well enough but then you hear her sing rock and it's like...oh.

But yeah, it comes down to personal preference with genre. I'll always prefer rock over dance and I feel like these lyrics just didn't cut to the core like the ones on Hoy Fvck did. I just don't know how critics could give this the best ever reviews. I disagree about the lyrics being introspective, found them super basic, paint by numbers stuff, no long words or interesting wordplay and like I said, just dance music cliches, hence the title. I thought critics were supposed to favour highly intelligent and moving lyrics, which her last album seemed to provide, but what do I know.

That's all valid. I do think though that after 2 albums of very deep, heart wrenching, coping-with-trauma lyrics, she just wanted to have fun this time around. 

I do find a lot of double-entendre within the album though, perhaps that's not what she meant but given her history, it makes sense to me.

Fast, Here All Night, Let You Go = addiction, Sorry To Myself is pretty self explanatory as she hints at her ED, Before I Knew You = before the drug, etc.

I feel like the title "It's Not That Deep" is somewhat double sided, because we know her history and to me, the album is the story of her overcoming her addiction and finding love. I could be reading too much into it but some of the lyrics and word choices were a little too on the nose to be just about romance/sex imo.
