Breakout

life is hard

I think this is a very up lifting cd for pre teens.It helps them survive breakups, rude boys, cheating, school, and the ever shifting friendship of girls. *Miley is a wonderful artist , and my daughter loves her.

42 year old rocker loves it!

Had it not been for my 5 year old daughter, I would have never heard anything by Miley Cyrus. After being "forced" to watch the Hanna Montana movie I had an entirely new take on her music.

This girl has more talent than 99% of the garbage mainstream music is putting out these days! And she can act! I grew up on hair metal and country; my .mp3 library has over 72,000 songs and never thought I'd have Miley Cyrus in there, but after listening to the Hanna Montana soundtrack I didn't hesitate to buy her latest album for my daughter (and of course, I copied it to my iPod as well). She has an incredible voice and the song selection is top notch. The lyrics aren't dirty or inappropriate, yet they're not "childish"; whether you're 5 or 50 you'll enjoy her music.

I really hope she stays "true" and grounded and doesn't fall into the Hillary and Britney category and get caught up in any scandals. This girl is on her way to becoming one of the BIGGEST music stars...just watch.

Great tween CD

This is a great tween CD. Music is fun and clean
Don't have to worry about bad lyrics.

Good album....buuuut

Miley seems to be "borrowing" the beats, riffs from classic songs anymore on her albums.

Listen to "See You Again", and then listen to "Sunglasses At Night" by Corey Hart.. here is the

She needs to learn to stay away from "borrowing" the classic tunes for the "top songs" off her albums.

Other then that this album is pretty good.

Brain Melting Media Hype

So what is a 42 year old man doing, reviewing a Miley Cyrus album? Simply this; I know people who have kids that love this girl's music, so I have heard my fair share of the Miley craze. I have recently heard Breakout against my will.. and this is the response: I remember when I was kid and everyone listened to Kiss, Led Zeppelin, Alice Cooper, The Greatful Dead and a host of other rock bands. We chose our own music and even listened to some of our parents favorites. But now, we have a bunch of kids and teens running around with hot pink Fisher Price radios listening to Hannah Montannah and the Jonas Brothers. It's pre-school rock at it's worst and it's crammed down kids throats by the mass media. It would be different if this music was good, melodic or well put together.. but it is not. It is overly dramatized Disney music screeched out by teens who really can't even sing. Every song sounds the same from beginning to end of the disk.. and so it has been with any of this teen rock that I have heard. Is it any wonder that the music industry is suffering.. they target five year olds who eventually will outgrow this trash and then they have to start all over again with the kids of the kids. Whatever happened to an honest music industry? It did well back in the day.. but now it buckles under the weight of teen rock that can't stand the test of time. Older bands like Kiss can sell out arenas for years, and sell more albums in a week than a kid like Miley.. but we will push the kiddy rock and make it seem so much more popular. This Music is pure brain melting trash that every teen and pre teen should boycott.. It's not worth the disc it's recorded on. Maybe we should trade in our pastel colored Fisher Price radios for an old eight track player.. and jamm some real music like The Rolling Stones. This " music," if you can call it that is an insult to the younger generation and the very fact that it floods the industry gives the older music fan absolutley nothing to buy. It's time to BREAK OUT of the Miley spell and send her packing back to whatever ranch she came from in Montannah.
