    O álbum foi completamente bem estruturado. Nunca pensei que Justin ia conseguir entregar um álbum com conceito R&B tão perfeito.

    This poor dude doesn't seem to carry any musical genius. Just a lucky kid with an amazing voice who's become praised for mediocrity. Hopefully, he'll find his voice soon.

    what great about this album is how it perfectly displays the worst aspects of both the pop and r&b genre. when the monotonous almost cartoonishly unoriginal single 'yummy' dropped all of us who had seen exactly what JB was capable of from his Purpose era collectively laughed and said: is this a joke? well unfortunately this reaction can be used to describe the entire project.it is sowhat great about this album is how it perfectly displays the worst aspects of both the pop and r&b genre. when the monotonous almost cartoonishly unoriginal single 'yummy' dropped all of us who had seen exactly what JB was capable of from his Purpose era collectively laughed and said: is this a joke? well unfortunately this reaction can be used to describe the entire project.it is so extremely forgettable that i couldn't write this review fairly without playing it in the background which unfortunately reminds me how lackluster the parts i could remember are. the title track ironically felt most like a filler whilst the track yummy wasn't outshined as the worst track of this album, his career and year. the intro begins nicely enough with his exemplary r&b vocals and clichéd production but is brought down b the saccharine lyrics and stupid adlibs. this continues through out most of this record taking a reprieve only at ''take it out on me'' the only good track in this album. i felt like this album wasn't an artistic effort more than it was a bid to sell and top charts which it did. if that is considered ALONE it would be a success but since those aren't the only criteria's for records its an abysmal out put created to be used in viral tik tok dances and cringe food commercials. Justin could and should've done better than this . Expand

    Bieber is trying to go R&B however the entire album sounds generic and forgettable. Every song sounds like it has the same beat and riff, the only difference is the tempo of those sounds and beats.

    The main problem with «Changes» is that it isn’t exciting or dynamic and suffers from dragging in places. Part of this is down to the lack of variation on the album.

    I was highly disappointed in this much anticipated album. I was expecting Justin to come back with a whole new vibe but ended up creating the most boring songs I have ever heard. The songwriting is so childish and the production sounds like ringtones. Hopefully he does better next album

    Justin seems like he just making music to stay in bussiness . No purpose , no dedication and no artistic view . Maybe he just wants to make songs for charts and be a single artist in that case ok but if he wants to make goid albums he really needs to start searching for his sound and what he wants be known for .

    Un vago y mísero intento de hacer R&B y descubrir en el proceso que tampoco hace buena música pop. Pero fue muy tarde para él empezar de cero y le dio a su fan base este producto que terminó siendo escupido.

    I used to be a fan of Justin Bieber back in 2016. His works were amazing, Love Yourself is still one of my favorite songs. Changes is not Justin Bieber. He used the same sample over and over again. He used to be a great lyricist, I hope he makes another record that contains songs like Love Yourself, Sorry (briefly whole Purpose album).

    after 10 months, changes really did grow on me. i don't know why i HATED it at the first place. it's such a good album, but not his best. however, i know he'll be good at creating r&b music.

    This disgusting piece of music just got nominated over After Hours in the pop field at the Grammys and Justin HAS THE NERVE to complain about the categories he was nominated in...

    Absolute trash. Most of the songs have the ugliest production ever. I don't know who told Justin Bieber that R&B was a bunch of random, annoying sounds in a trap-ish base but this ain't it. The vocals are badly produced -and very boring, if you ask me- and the lyrics are wack. There's not a single good thing about this album. Should've stayed in the drafts.
    Now this is even worse

    Changes is completely different than any album he's released before. This album shows off his vocal skills, his falsettos are flawless throughout the whole album. This isn't his best album, people are being too harsh when it isn't a terrible album.

    Yummy, intentions and come around be are definitely the worst songs on the album. The best are available, habitual, ETA and that's what love

    Many fandoms have raided the ratings not just on metacritic but on itunes aswell. Anyways, this isnt a terrible album and some of y'all gotta stop pretending its awful when its not.

The 16 songs on Changes focus almost exclusively on the logistics of having sex when you are both hot, young, and working in fields that require a lot of time apart.

    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.

    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.
