Editorial Review:
UK pressing of the 2008 album from the teen sensation features one bonus track: `See You Again' (Wideboys Club Remix). On Breakout, the music is infectious and the hits are undeniable! Features the mega hit single '7 Things', the 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! 13 tracks. Polydor.
Description of Breakout:
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
Breakout Reviews:
42 year old rocker loves it! 
2009-12-21 - 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
2009-11-19 - This is a great tween CD. Music is fun and clean
Don't have to worry about bad lyrics.
I love it Miles!
2009-11-05 - This is a great album for any Miley fan! It's what she does best: singing, with a beat that you can not help but shake it to! I've been a Miley fan since she first stepped into the spotlight! I love her and personally think she can do no wrong. But if you're not a Miley fan (shame on you ;)) then you probably won't like this album. However, I think it's a great dance album and another great hit for Miles!!!
Miley's "Breakout" from Hannah?
2009-10-26 - I hope so! Miley has amazing songs on here. I like her as Hannah but as herself, Miley, the songs are way better. Better for adults to enjoy so they don't gotta hear about everyday issues with girls, boys, whatever. I love this album!!
Good album....buuuut 
2009-10-12 - 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.
