5. My darlin' feat. Future

This song is a mash up of a new Miley song and the classic Stand by Me. Fortunately this isn't as horrific as it might first sound and the original is almost unrecognisable so there isn't too much damage done to it. Although the song is catchy, it's one of the weaker tracks on the album and seems to be more of a filler rather than having any potential to be a single.

rating: 2

6. Wrecking Ball

Unlike most of the songs on Bangerz, the second single to be released from the album gives us a real insight into Miley and most likely Liam's relationship which, seems like it may have been doomed from the start - "All I wanted was to break your walls, all you ever did was wreck me." Whoever the song is referring to there is no doubt that it could be a successful tearjerker if it weren't for Miley writhing around on a silver ball. In spite of the nudity and the writhing and the somewhat scary close up of Miley's face at the start of the video the song is without a doubt a chart hit and one of the best on the album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=My2FRPA3Gf8

7. Love Money Party feat. Big Sean

This track featuring hip hop artist Big Sean is one of the catchiest on the album and it really gives way to Miley's new style. Really, the song is about partying, something which Miley must definitely be accustomed to but obviously due to the nature of the track it is lacking the depth of some of the other songs on the album.

rating: 3

8. #GETITRIGHT

This track is extremely catchy and a lot of fun as a sing-a-long song. There's no denying that the track is just about sex but about who? We just don't know. Maybe it's that wrecking ball that Mileys previously been seen with. Although there's nothing particularly creative or intelligent about the track it is a fun song and one of the stronger on the album.

rating: 3

9. Drive

Drive is a track which we can safely assume relates to ex-fiancée, Liam Hemsworth. Lyrics such as "But I guess I got no valentine/Send me roses I just let 'em die/I was crazy thinking you were mine/It was all just a lie" shows Miley's heartbroken state which she has somehow managed to keep somewhat hidden from the media. The track is solid enough, but in a similar way to many of the songs on the album is - 0verall - distinctly average.
