Summary: Miley Cyrus - Breakout
Comment: Breakout (2008, Disney) Miley Cyrus' first studio album. ***
It's a little bit of a surprise that Miley Cyrus' first album outside of the "Hannah Montana" persona isn't awful. In fact, it's pretty good. And that's saying a lot, as teen pop has proven to be one of the worst factions of the pop and rock world, second only to Christian rock. The genre only received another blow with Katy Perry's horrific One of the Boys, a confused and contrived ordeal that was exactly what the intended audience didn't need to hear; getting wasted, sleeping with guys, and kissing chicks and liking it. Hey, experimentation is great, I understand, but the target market is middle-school girls, and there are enough poor role models for them as it is (Paris, Britney, and Lindsay, to name a few). Thankfully, Miley's album is nothing more than harmless, albeit mindless, pop sensibilities.
Every song shows one of two sides of Miley; her spunky side displayed on tunes such as the parent-defying title track or the Avril Lavigne-esque "7 Things I Hate About You," and her solemn side on cuts like "The Driveway," "Bottom of the Ocean," and "Goodbye." And while almost every track is predictable, the quality of the music itself is sometimes surprising. "The Driveway," for instance, portrays a doomed couple riding in a silent car, the awkward ride home we all know. And it's tracks like that, along with "Bottom of the Ocean," (reminiscent of Michelle Branch) that really wouldn't be half-bad if the excess was all shed in favor of an acoustic guitar or piano. It's arguably quality stuff, but since this isn't an attempt to make art, it didn't come out the way it should have. But beyond the decent material, there's plenty that's cheesy. Her cover of "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" may not be great, but it certainly fits the mood and in no way separates itself from the rest of the tracks. The worst moment is "Wake Up America," a call to arms against global warming, something Miley admits to not having any knowledge about. Considering the material on the album (breakups and girls nights out) it's completely out of place. "Simple Song" features an eye-rolling "La la la la laa" part preceded by "Sing along, now!" So while Breakout is a step forward for Miley, it's still only the second step in a line of many. It's impressive that she helped pen most of these, and when she comes of age, she could be a very respected singer-songwriter. That is, of course, if she stops writing hilariously bad lines like "My parents say that I'm lazy/Gettin' up at 8AM's crazy."

Summary: don't hate cuz this girlz got talent
Comment: miley cyrus is one of the best teen pop stars out there. all of those others trying to be like her (demi levato and selena gomez) are pathetic there songs and voices suck and should never have been released. This album is such a great piece of music for the youngsters out in america. great job miley!

Summary: MILEY ROCKS! ONE OF THE BEST CDS OF THE YEAR!
Comment: This CD is amazing. Every song is awesome and will have you singing along. My friend is a huge Miley fan too but doesn't have the CD yet, and she listened to the samples on Amazon and loved what she heard. Buy this CD now! It's the bomb!

Summary: Not what I expected...
Comment: On this album, Hannah, er' Miley lets us know all of her boy frustrations. As much as my 'tween daughter loves Miley, I've asked her not to play this album as much as she would like to. Very defiant, almost venomous, angry...not your typical Hannah style. Odd that she gives so much acclaim to Jesus for being able to do this album. I guess it must be aimed at the older crowd, ones who have gone through many of the things she is singing about. I hope she remembers that her fan base is still the 'tween and younger set. They don't need to be listening to what this album has to offer. Too bad Wal-mart won't take it back.
