    It's funny how I was hoping to Justin giving us a mature version of himself, but he still is the kid that I never like.

    The vocals remain top-notch but Justin has traded his ear for production with a general lack of taste. Songs come and go without sticking.

    Changes marked Justin's staggering move to R&B. The instrumentation felt softer, a lot of reverbs, and calming; but then the vocal came in along with lethargic and noisy beats. To think Yummy is going to be the worst of this album, the next three songs after it will tell otherwise. His collab with Travis Scott and Kehlani wasn't ended up intertwined.

    Ruim. Podre. Sem conteúdo nenhum. Arde os ouvidos. Álbum de despertadores.

    I’ll give it a cute 3 for the first three songs that were somewhat decent. Fourth track and beyond it is bland, heard before, generic, etc. Purpose was a solid album, and it’s disappointing to see what his music has become now. Justin relies on the people around him to achieve his success, but maybe now he relies a little bit too much, as those people created a horrendous piece of work.

    Nothing memorable about it, seems boring and repetitive, have I like any song? Intentions. He has been doing better

    i gotta say, he needs to grow up, this album is... bad and tragic, like, so much.

    Compared to Purpose, a step back. Flat, boring... I wanted something from him. At least, I wanted something similar to his previous work, but it is miles worse. The instrumentals are so basic and his voice comes and goes in a weird way. Every song sounds the same. I don't understand why he put this out after 4 years. So disappointed

    Canzoni tutte simili fra di loro. Ha ripetuto per mesi quanto l'album sarebbe stato R&B, ma in realtà segue semplicemente i trend del momento in modo fallimentare. Niente di innovativo o che faccia notare una possibile maturazione di Bieber, anzi. I vecchi album, forse, sono pure migliori.

    Ma con un singolo come Yummy, cosa potevamo aspettarci?

    Come Around Me, Forever, Second Emotion, Get Me, Changes, That’s What Love Is, Intentions, E.T.A have only good 15 second parts of the songs and that’s it. The lyrics are so repetitive and boring. He is an amazing artist and it feels like he’s wasted his talent on this. Writing about Hailey is what like that magazine said writing about an appliance lol.

    Aside 2/3 songs it's a bore maybe he doesn't care anymore this project left all the world disapointed and it's going to be quickly droped

    Songs like Yummy are garbage, the only song really worth listening to in my opinion is Forever and even that isn't really good.

    Letras vazias, batidas de traps forçadas, sem nenhum propósito, um dos piores álbuns da carreira. Eu não entendo como a gravadora deixou ele lançar algo tão ruim.

    Even though I don't like Justin attitude and the way he is, I always gave him one thing he is good as a musician and has a lot of potential. Between the releases of Journals and Purpose he had a lot of improvement in lyrics and production. Even though I was not a fan of the singles from this album, gave Justin the benefit of the doubt.

But this album is really a disappointment, same generic beat, same lyrics and the theme in the whole album. Is like listening to the same trap basic song for the whole hour. I really wanted to like this album cause his previous records were good but this is a disappointment. And sad part is I know he has a lot of potential. Expand

    O álbum é tão maduro, mas tão arrastado nas músicas chega a ser cansativo ouvir. Triste sendo o sucessor de Purpose, álbum que por mais de seus desvaneios era um álbum coeso.

    Sounds like throways from the 45 track chris brown album. Generic trap r&b. All of the features are pretty mediocre too.

    As much as I want to loveee this album. I find it too repetitive. For me, a lot of the songs merge into one and after listening to the album I wouldn't be able to differentiate them from each other. They all kind of say the same thing with hardly any originality. I expected a bit more from this album I can't lie.

    Unfortunately pretty average melody. After listening to the whole album I couldn’t really distinguish between the songs. Every song sounds similar - personally speaking, for me there is no real rememberable hit on the album.

    Just didn’t give a big wow factor. I expected some beat drops. It’s not bad but not good either.

    The album it’s not all good, the beat from Running Over it’s from Asher Monroe. I think he didn’t get any message for stealing them beat. That’s so sick Scooter Braun! Justin asked a lot of famous to promote him album and then paid a part of them to get some downloads Streams etc. that’s wtf. Okay I know he’s so desperate for that. Thank you.

    Whilst i appreciate the place where the album is coming from, the overall result is mediocre and leaves listeners confused to whether or not he likes his wife or not.

    fails to deliver joy in the beginning (besides habitual) but picks up the paste at song 11 throughout but still fails to make me re-listen

    It was worse than I thought. So generic. Worse than his past albums if somehow possible. Yummy.

    What is this? A whole songs are meaningless, and yummy literally a joke. All the songs have same beat.

    While Bieber's voice still sounds like that of a mid- to late-teen, singing seems to come more naturally to him, and his falsetto pleas are neither bitter nor entitled, strictly genuine and adult.

    It’s a record in total lust and fealty to Hailey; you’ll probably want to duck out to use the bathroom halfway through.

    Artists can certainly grow up and mature without losing their edge or creative spark. Changes, however, is ultimately a transitional record that finds Bieber navigating how to reconcile adulthood with pop stardom—and discovering that, at least in his case, this merger is a tricky one.
