    É muito bom para um segundo álbum, a pegada eletrônica é ótima, porém se prendeu em uma bolha.

    Eu gosto muito do álbum, porém acho que tem alguns fillers no meio que eu posso pular tranquilamente... os singles foram bem escolhidos.

    With less generic melodies, but following the commercial pattern and with compositions in more detail. 7/27 demonstrates the girl-band's greatest ripening, highlights in grandiose vocals and the pleasant evolution of sound makes the album a strong point. I see they've achieved what they wanted, and something bigger could come.

    Músicas incríveis, com vocais surpreendentes, alguns detalhes da produção poderiam ser melhores , mas é um álbum bem consistente.

    These girls are great, and this album is even bigger. The album has some defects that must be corrected to have a certain reach, the generics and repetitive songs a little tired we have some songs that make you shiver with each touch. They are to be congratulated.

    I think this album is very well produced and done. I mean, there are many different music influences but at the same time there is strong cohesion in the album. From the saxophones in "That's My Girl" to the reggae of "All In My Head", to trap of "Work From Home", to tropical house (The Life, Write On Me, I Lied, Squeeze and Scared Of Happy) to urban ("Not That Kinda Girl") to synthpop ofI think this album is very well produced and done.

I still think that Camila is the worst singer of the group and she still has too many solos, but the parts are given in a better way than Reflection!… Expand

    This is Fifth Harmony at their best. It is about time we have a new R&B girl group that do not follow the typical mainstream manufactured girl group pattern.

    Músicas para todos os gostos, nada de genérico como alguns @ insistem em dizer, ritmos para alegrar, para te deixar "na bad", para te acalmar, para te reanimar de novo... Elas estão indo muito bem! Espero que o próximo venha ainda melhor que este e atinga um 80 no metacritic!

    7/27 É cheio de girl power em faixas muito atraentes para que gosta de uma bela batida para as pistas de dança. Boas parcerias dentre elas Ty Dollar é a que mais se destaca com o lead single "Work From Home"

    What comes with hard work is success, and in this case 5th Harmony's 2nd major LP release has showed the chemistry between each individual artist. Full of bangers, for good times and vibes, 7/27 is surely a commercial and acclaimed album.

    These girls are killing it aren't they? I mean really their hit "Work From Home" is a smash hit and "All In My Head (Flex)" seems to be heading in that direction also. I definitely think this is a great album and it for sure deserves a "10" from me! All of their hits are great and they for sure deserve a 10 for their effort this year.

    Album full of bops. This album is incredible. It's no longer "Camila and the others" but now everyone really shines. I like how they play with different sounds. My favorites are "That's My Girl", "Write On Me" and "Squeeze". My least favorites are "The Life" and "Not That Kinda Girl". The only thing I didn't like about the album was that it was so short. 10 songs isn't a lot for a popAlbum full of bops. This album is incredible.

    All in all, a disappointing album compared to their last one. I know most people disagree will with me, but the songs on this album are just missing the melodies and the attitude from the last album. The production is different from Reflection, but I still like the new tropical house vibe they're going for. However, house production is notorious for making their singers boring.

The production is different from Reflection, but I still like the new tropical house vibe they're going for. However, house production is notorious for making their singers boring. Although that isn't always the case here, FH struggle on a few particular songs to make their vocals shine through the production. Like their last album, there are also some major miscalculations in terms of song style. This is most notable on tracks such as Work From Home ft. Ty Dolla Sign and No Way. The first is a snoozefest of an electronic R&B song, and the second is just a ballad structured completely wrong. However, songs such as All In My Head ft. Fetty Wap and The Life do a very good job blending the production and the vocals. Overall, I wish this was as good as their first album, but it's still a quality pop album on it's own merits.

    Oh my God, speechless. I'm so freaking proud of this girls, this album is totally amazing, I can relate to each song in a different level and I just love it. Gonna Get Better is probably my favorite song of 2016 so far. Thanking God those girls are there slaying everyday. ♥

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum está muito com. As meninas se arriscaram bastante em diferentes sonoridades, uma musica com uma pegada raggae, algumas bem pop e também foram para um alternativo. Conseguiram mudar bastante a sonoridade, comparando com seu ultimo álbum, Reflection, porém não perderam a excelência! Realmente mostraram que são o maior GirlGroup da atualidade, e podemos ver isso nos charts.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The critiques lobbed against Fifth Harmony's "7/27" are all very fair. Even at its "worst" the songs are still complete pop perfection. In all honesty there were only two skippable tracks, and the rest, even the ones that come off as "chasing trends" are still tons of fun. Yes, it's true that the album kind of lacks any recognizable identity but for so many girl groups their identity was "girl power" and songs like "That's My Girl" and "Not That Kind of Girl" fit that to a tee. "Dope" might be the track that stands out the most. Mellow in the best way, and it embodies everything I like about this group and this album in general.

    The album is a great maturation away from the slight cheesiness that plagued "Reflection" but at it's core it's still captures the youthful spirit of the group. They did not compromise their maturity for a younger audience like some other groups and artists have done in the past. It's a great summer album, and it's ridiculously loaded with potential hits.    … Expand

    7/27 is a phenomenal album! The girls have really shown how they have grown as not only individuals but as a group also. The album consists of great upbeat songs to sing along to however, it still shows just how empowering this group of girls really are. I think this album has really given each 5H member a chance to show off their vocals and their capability in the music industry. It’s7/27 is a phenomenal album!

    Fifth Harmony has done it yet again. Reflection was an amazing album and now they released 7/27 and it is so freaking good. It is honestly their best album so far - it has an entirely new sound and it fits them so well. You can hear all of the girls in the songs. Really good job, girls.
