    he sounds like a rapist on nearly every track. not only that, the production is completely awful and the features are half-assed at best. there really aren't any songs that i like or that i'd ever come back to.

    If I could I would resume this album in one word, it would be "eh", but since I must use more than 75 I must enlarge my sentence just like he did with yummy.

    It's his most emotional album yet. Means anyone will literally cry by listening to it. All are just loving it. And the tracks on it are just mind blowing.

    As someone who was looking forward to this album, I was utterly disappointed. The lyricism is laughable, especially considering his new inspiration. The production feels dated and at the same time rushed. Its like he doesn't even care anymore and that shows because compared to his previous albums, this is trash.

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.… Expand

It could’ve redeemed the monotone production. Worst part is its too long. I mean the length would’ve been great if each song was different but it’s just the same **** over and over again.

    Its a fully R&B influeced album that it has in general great producing team behind it. The beats are on point and the rythm is catchy in many occasions. Now , for Biebers voice it is very good.

Now , for Biebers voice it is very good. He sounds perfect and his vocals are amazing. But the problem with this album is that has a very sweetener sound. All the songs are about love and his romance with his wife. There are not so many people that can identify with these songs. Especially the more young fans that JB has. It is monotonic and boring some time.
    After all these years you expect from Bieber to show in his music all the struggles he had in the past 2-3 years and meanwhile the found of happiness with his marriage and all this stuff. You expect feelings , passion , pain in the music. Songs that gonna make history. And not necessary hits. Instead of this we hear a full happy Justin talk about his romance all over again.
    Last point i have to mark is that JB has changed his style in 2020 to a more slow and smoother sound , more balads, more low tempo. No hits in the album. Not a song that will make a significant difference. We were used from Biebs to break every single record with his hits. Thats not gonna happen now and its not bad. Just we have to adapt to his new style. He expresss his shelf better that way so just move on and lets enjoy the new chapter... Anyways i dont think that Justin will not make hits anymore. He will team up with some big name or he will release a single out of nowhere and its gonna break records for the radios..
    Overall , i think that its not a bad album. Its a nice album that you can hear while chilling. JB didnt fail. Just didnt make the difference. He had the chance to create a masterpeace , but he chose the safe way. A way that can easily keep him in the spotlightand make his career more sustainable. Good album capable of bringing him some awards and records but not something special. Keep it up BIEBS!!.    … Expand

    I’m so glad he did what he wanted to do and not what others want. It’s more of an r&b album then pop. His vocals are amazing and smooth, his falsettos are amazing. The album is more personal to him and his fans. The lyrics are very well written with meanings and emotions, he is also credited as the main songwriter.

    The versatility of this album is truly amazing. This album really speaks about what love is.

    this album was beautifully executed. i was surprised that the ratings were so low but i read the reviews and were appalled by how people are judging this using pop album standards rather than an r&b album. r&b focuses on being soulful and cohesive rather than being well... pop! marketed it terribly by making yummy the lead song but the rest of the songs were so lovely. eta, habitual,this album was beautifully executed. i was surprised that the ratings were so low but i read the reviews and were appalled by how people are judging this using pop album standards rather than an r&b album. r&b focuses on being soulful and cohesive rather than being well... pop! marketed it terribly by making yummy the lead song but the rest of the songs were so lovely. eta, habitual, confirmation, all around me, come around me, and intentions (and intentions acoustic) were so amazing. i would definitely recommend you listening to this with an open mind without a pop album preconception. so well done.… Expand

    For me this album is very boring, I think Justin Bieber wanted to make a sticky album with the sound, but he forgot the lyrics and the production, for me this album is one of the worst R&B/Pop album I have ever heard.

    Don’t believe the reviews! Selena Gomez fans and Taylor said fans mass reviewed to give it low ratings but the Album is actually so amazing.Give it a try and get an opinion by yourself!

    Não perdi o meu tempo escutando esse álbum, mas se o primeiro single foi Yummy com certeza o álbum é péssimo

    Justin Bieber has steadily declined from being one of America’s most promising young talents to being another pop robot. This album shows his limitations as an artist.

    This album was an extreme disappointment for me. As someone who was such a big fan of his last album, after a five year break I was so ready for this album and it turned out to be extremely underwhelming.

    This style of music and the cringey lyrics feel so disingenious to Justin. It doesn't feel natural. It feels very awkward and forced coming from him.

    This style of music and the cringey lyrics feel so disingenious to Justin. It doesn't feel natural. It feels very awkward and forced coming from him. Additionally, this entire album feels like such a lazy attempt. After such a long break I would expect something with more depth and artistry. Most of the songs sound very generic. Even the best songs on the album don't really stand out for me. It's pretty bad when the best song on the album is "Yummy" (I'm sorry i know it's objectively bad, but its just undeniably catchy). For such a talented, male vocalist, this album doesn't really let his voice shine at all.

    Although this album was definitely a miss for me, I will call it a fluke and still be waiting here for Justin's next release which will hopefully be better.    … 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.
