    Um álbum básico de um artista que já mostrou ser capaz de muito mais em trabalhos anteriores. Changes soa como uma tentativa falha depois de anos fora da música, contando com músicas extremamente parecidas e simples.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Unoriginal, boring, predictable. Was hoping Yummy was some sort of fake-out situation, making you think that the album was one thing then later turning out to be completely different, but I should have known not to expect that much thought being put into this. Songs sounded the same, lyrics were so predictable I could guess what they were before they were “sung” (using that word very generously here), etc... truly unremarkable. Expand

    First of all, I’ve listened to everything; the problem here is that most of them are extremely similar in the way they sound, so it’s almost like the same song over and over again. Secondly, “Running Over” is just a blatant rip-off of the song “Synergy” by Asher Monroe. It’s exactly THE SAME beat. Listen and compare.

    Personally there was no lyrically meaningful songs and there were no stand out tracks. As it was his highly anticipated 5th album you would of hoped it would be of been unforgettable and amazing, but it's has completely and utterly disappointed in my opinion

    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.

    Honestly, I'm giving this 1 for the vocals. The album is just BORING!! The songs have very shallow lyrics and the same beat. I understand that he was going for a trap vibe in this album, but the songs are all the same boring thing. if compared to his last album, witch is a true masterpiece that explores many subjects and genres, this is such a downgrade. It just feels like a lazy album.

    I am a Belieber since 2010 but I have never heard such a boring album from him. In my opinion all of the songs sound waaaay too much alike and the lyrics seem not the slightest bit believeable. Plus, the melody of "Running over" is just plain stolen from Asher Monroe's song "Synergy".

Changes is nothing but that cringy caption you posted on Instagram in 2015 claiming you "ground hard" when you had just barely entered the gym building after pulling it off for 4 months before finally realizing your subscription had to "pay off" at least once - or that poster in your room that says "WAKE UP, IT'S KILL IT O'CLOCK" that inspires you to make the right decision when ordering pizza. it doesn't go anywhere, because it's target audience is people with a small mind, sad self-assuring human beings who force themselves to believe that the world is a perfect place and this record is perfectly crafted by Justin Bieber, from his heart to them. and the worst part is that he's supposedly talking about his wife - yet it feels like he was talking about a sex toy he enjoyed when he was 15. it's a bad time to be Hailey Baldwin. all of this happens while Justin paints their marriage as the popular but objectifying and machist expression "behind every great man, there's a great woman". at the end of the day, this compilation of bland tracks will sell well - just like Ed's Divide did, although not in the same proportions I guess - because he's Justin, and he's "perfect". this is just another proof that we, as music fans, need to stop telling "good-looking" white boys that play the guitar that they're interesting because they're not.

    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.
