Her second self titled studio album, Breakout, Miley takes us with her on a Rock'N'Roll journey. The music is infectious and the hits are undeniable! ' 7 Things' is Miley's Hit single! A perfect follow up to her Top Five radio Smash Hit 'See You Again' ! With three albums released by the age of 15, Miley has already had the level of success that most artists only dream about with over 10 million albums sold! Miley's first recording Hannah Montana Original Soundtrack Debuted #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 and is Certified 3x Platinum. Miley's second release Hannah Montana 2/Meet Miley Cyrus Debuted #1 on Billboard Hot 100 and it is Certified 6x Platinum. 12 tracks.
Yep--the artist formerly known as Hannah Montana is going it alone. Having conquered the teen market under her Hannah Montana moniker, 15-year-old Cyrus is now aiming for the adult world; or at least a slightly older audience. Breakout follows her dual-marketed Hannah Montana 2: Meet Miley Cyrus album, and differs from it in that she sounds a little more grown up, a little rougher around the edges, and just a touch more self-expressive. Needless to say, Breakout is produced to within an inch of its life. Every aspect, from concept to mixdown, has been polished and buffed to achieve that perfect tween sheen. Despite this resulting in a somewhat sterile and claustrophobic aura, the album manages to achieve some infectious moments. To her credit, Cyrus has co-written most of the songs here (all but two), which largely eschew electronic dancefloor sounds for a guitar-heavy ethic. The punchy title track (co-produced by the Go-Go's Gina Schock), the thrashy, catchy "7 Things" and the boyfriend putdown "Fly On The Wall" are immediate highlights, but ballads such as "Bottom of the Ocean" and her sped up version of Cyndi Lauper's "Girls Just Want To Have Fun" are much less convincing. Breakout reveals a genuine young talent, but one that's perhaps being rushed way too quickly towards her prime.--Danny McKenna

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... more info
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
link: "Sunglasses At Night" Corey Hart:
[...] 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.
