Cyrus has never really made a great front-to-back album—2013’s Bangerz, weirdly, is probably most listenable the whole way through—and, with Endless Summer Vacation, “no skips” remains out of reach. A run of understated early tracks, largely produced by Harry’s House collaborators Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, is interrupted by the interminable Harmony Korine co-write “Handstand,” the kind of grooveless synth dirge that helped 2015’s Flaming Lips collaboration Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Petz sink like a stone. “Handstand” is built around a heavy-handed boat metaphor that never seems to go anywhere, and confoundingly introduces a character called Big Twitchy, a constant presence in Korine’s paintings. It feels as if, after exercising the kind of restraint that’s rare across her catalog, Cyrus finally let herself slip back into mindless excess.

Still green ✅

Pitchfork coming through with honesty in the poptism era again  

Fantastic score  

Pretty fair score, I think I’d rate it similarly. Though I wouldn’t be shocked at all if they included a bunch of cringe one-liners dragging her just for the sake of going viral, despite the not great but not terrible (enough to warrant that) score

just read and the actual review was one their kindest towards her, no random character assassination. i’ll take it 

That’s kind of them i was expecting a high 5 

Should have been much lower  

Generous 

Fair, and nice to see they didn’t try to take any stale jabs at her for no reason.  

Fair score tbh especially since it hasnt had some honest criticism yet in most reviews

It's grown on me a lot since release day. Good score for her from them. 

Honestly they told no lies.

nnn expected at least a 6.5+. well. it wasn't an ~amazing~ album so

Should have been much higher

PH got a 6.4, this record was less consistent so it was expected, I was betting on a 6.0 but this is good 

This is a fair score, I would say. It's not a mid album, but it's not great either. I think a 6.2 reflects that.

Was expecting 5.0~5.5, but they decided to be generous

given how much they hate her, this is pretty decent. 

Way too high. Garbage record
