    completamente ridículo, a mesma batida em todas as músicas e 90% das letras são genéricas, parece uma coletânea de descartes

    Esse album ta horrivel! Sem condições de ouvir novamente esse cd cheio de fillers, batidas traps mornas, além de serem 17 faixas. Pra mim é o pior album do ano até agora e espero que amargue no fracasso como os singles ja vem amargando.

    Vixi, n gostei não... no lugar de crescer como artista, ele retroagiu, acho q ele precisa urgentemente de uma boa inspiração...

    I don't have words. I'm so disappointed
    It's so pathetic, every song have the same beat. The lyrics are so superficial, it's like expressing love to an object

    Nunca ouvi algo tão ruim na vida. Justin ficou preso em 2015 isso é horrível e insano

    Repetitive, boring. Running over was stolen (Synergy, Asher Monroe), which is a huge disappointment.

    It's not Journals. You all know about it. Not a single song catches you so that you want to play it again. These are the songs you want to skip. When it start you want to skip the whole album. Maybe his next one will be better.

    Nokia ringtones. All the music sounds almost the same and he’s been working for 4 years just to bring this.

    I thought he could top Purpose, but this is a HUGE downgrade. The songs sound the same no growth... if this is the muse for his wife just keep it next time.

    Such a downgrade from Purpose!! Yummy is one of his worst singles. He took 4 years to come out with this album, could’ve done much better

    There is no heart and it is a very disconnected album. Everything sounds the same. Everything on this album is a repeat of the previous tracks! I have some praises for the album: Only Forever seems to be an ok track. But Mr. Bieber needs to work with some other producers if he really wants to continue dominating the pop world WITH good music. He can do way better.

The lyrics are terribly shallow and the production is extremely simple, this sucks and is pretty boring. The biggest issue about the album is that he tries to recreate the same pop song over and over again. The beats are awful and the songs have absolutely no meaning or heart. I wasted 30 minutes of my life listening to that album so at least I'm going to write my review. I wasn't expecting anything but I'm still disappointed by the album. It's basic and nothing special the writer isn’t saying anything important, now talking about his voice another 50 artists can replace it, no high or low notes just a key that everyone can sing on and follow. All the songs sound like they were written in five minutes by a group of bored 15-year-old guys playing FIFA while eating chips. The songs about sex and jacking off are disgusting, I'm not going to talk about them. After 4 years the writer is in the same place or in one way worse than the previous one. But in my opinion, the real reason why this album is flopping is that the new generation is expecting fun rap and pop and things that make them excited like reggaeton or trap. Young people are finally starting to reject this writer's music and seeing that this isn't 2012 anymore. Every time a song of this artist doesn't become popular the label makes remixes, lyrics videos, emoji videos, rap, trap, and pop versions to save the song from dying. They pay people to stream and play advertisements everywhere, tell people that they'll win rewards if they stream, proving how unfair they make this business for other artists. The power isn't completely in the people anymore just in the label that pays more and buys more people. The lead single of this album didn't got the number one even by the fact that they used all of these illegal streaming ways and that proves how bad the song is. No one will remember this album exists in 4 months, it has absolutely no good reason to exist. We need music to cry with, to love, to jump, to dance, to laugh, to create memories with, that's what this generation needs and that's why we don't need Justin Bieber anymore. If you aren't going to do it right then don't do it. The album is officially unnecessary and irrelevant. It doesn't impact and no one would mind if it had never been released in the first place.… Expand

    12/16 songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME and the other 4 sound the same between them.
    Mediocre beats repeated in loop resulting in boring songs almost unbearable to listen to until the end.
    Basic lyrics about how much he loves his wife that could've been written by a 14 year-old.

    Not his best work but I’m glad he’s back. Expected something more after almost 5 years of hiatus.

    only good thing about this album is his strainless falsettos. The only CHANGES you can feel is how his artistry is in regression. I mean, this album screams bad company. We all knew Justin bieber is the industry plant who can only sing, like many other guys you see in IDOL competitions. His previous records were as good as the real artists involved in it aka the songwriters, the producers.only good thing about this album is his strainless falsettos. The only CHANGES you can feel is how his artistry is in regression. I mean, this album screams bad company. We all knew Justin bieber is the industry plant who can only sing, like many other guys you see in IDOL competitions. His previous records were as good as the real artists involved in it aka the songwriters, the producers. This record just exposes Justin Bieber for the talent he is, he is no artist, neither unique. With that youthful teenage charm wiped out of his face, and since he is no artist, he needs to be careful with the producers and songwriters so he can ride on the success of their backs. Just follow Ariana Grande or Jenifer lopez, but not artistically. In fact, there is so much of thank you next and sweeteners resonance in this. Although at 25, justin feels like he has been in this industry since forever. He honestly needs to reinvent himself. Reinvention is not just reserved for female artists, with ever growing demand and need for innovation he can only survive the flooding new talent with renunciation of entitlement and constant hardwork else, Purpose will always be his best . Justin, just keep in mind no age, no disease, playing victim, opening on drug issues, marriage, depression , struggles with fame...all these cannot make a music lover to listen your album. people , I mean real people like who are non bielebers will only listen if its good, if theres substance...times have changed man. GROWUP, not just in youtube commercials for albums, in artististry too, that is if you want to stay relevant… Expand

    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.
