    This album will be the worst in 2020. Melody is boring and the lyrics are childish and disgusting. I didn't think there was anything worse than a dirty lead single, Yummy. yeah... now we see Justin Rat has more places to crash.

    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

    It’s boring. It all sounds the same to me. I expected better from Justin Bieber but not this. His voice is good and I love purpose but this album seems fake and not mature. He is 25 and needs to grow up.

    Sonidos súper monótonos, nada innovador, producciones repetitivas y sin alma, prácticamente un disco en donde todas las canciones tienen la misma base con diferentes letras, realmente su carrera está en picada y si no tiene más que ofrecer seguro con suerte terminará pronto.

    This is honestly not a good album. His vocals are pretty decent, but he can’t keep up with them live. His lyrics are mediocre. His beats all sound pretty much the same and they sound like they were 2017 EDM rejects. After a 4 year hiatus after purpose, I expected something better and more mature than this. This is honestly such a disappointing album & a really sad comeback.

    It was almost 5 years without a new album by Mr. Bieber and the great phenomenon of "Purpose" worldwide, the hope of his great return was great but this feels like something difficult to digest and even unpleasant, there is nothing new at all these songs that sound identical with a melody so "ringtone".

    As someone who was looking forward to this album, I was utterly disappointed. The lyricism is laughable, especially considering his new inspiration.

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.
