    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.

    The album is boring, every song has the same message and beats are nothing special. Disappointing after the great Purpose album.

    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.

    If I was a man
    And I'm so sick of them
    Coming at me again
    'Cause if I was a man
    Then I'd be the man
    I'd be the man
    I'd be the man
    They'd say I hustled
    Put in the work
    They wouldn't shake their heads
    And question how much of this I deserve
    What I was wearing, if I was rude
    Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves
    And we would toast to me, oh, let the players play
    I'd be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez
    I'm so sick of running

    What's it like to brag about raking in dollars
    And getting **** and models?
    And it's all good if you're bad
    And it's okay if you're mad
    If I was out flashin' my dollas
    I'd be a **** not a baller
    They'd paint me out to be bad
    So it's okay that I'm mad
    I'm so sick of running
    As fast as I can
    Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man (you know that) And I'm so sick of them Coming at me again (coming at me again) 'Cause if I was a man (if I was man) Then I'd be the man (then I'd be the man) I'm so sick of running As fast as I can (as fast as I can) Wondering if I'd get there quicker If I was a man (hey!) And I'm so sick of them Coming at me again (coming at me again!) 'Cause if I was a man (if I was man) Then I'd be the man I'd be the man I'd be the man (oh) I'd be the man (yeah) I'd be the man (I'd be the man)

    A Comeback album should be something special.... Half of the songs are features and literally every song sounds the same....

    You would think an album which would take so long to make wouldn't sound so generic to each other song. Looks very rushed and poorly made.

    This album was really...awful. It literally felt like i was listening to the same song over and over and so on. Justin, you’ve made one of the worst albums i have ever listened to.

    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 review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No novelty, a purely unoriginal album with tracks that sounds the same all along. It’s been made for money and attention and doesn’t deserve neither. Whether it’s by comparing it to other albums out there (which would be a quick comparison) or judging it by itself, it just doesn’t work. Expand

    Enquanto Scooter Braun vem falhando na quesito hit da vida do Justin, ele vem falhando em todo resto. O álbum é uma bosta, a mudança que existe é só no título das faixas, porque todas tem a mesma batida genérica trap.

    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.
