    This album is in no way fresh or different. Almost the entire album including artwork and promotional photos etc. can easily be tracked back to Madonna and her mega hit album Confessions on A Dance Floor. Lipa even attempts to recreate Madonna’s 1994 pictorial ad campaign for Versace. All in all the entire album sounds reductive at best.

    Has a basic and boring sound that doesn’t become more interesting as you go throughout the album. Only good songs are physical and pretty please.

    Future Nostalgia is a basic pop album and that will be forgotten for a few months :(((

    I truly enjoyed Physical and Break my Heart, but the rest? It's lacking production that follows. The last two tracks are horrendously bad, but at least she's trying to write something sort of provoking. Although it's just not enough to keep the songs playing.

    UPDATE: at the third time I was listening to the songs, i noticed that all the songs were forgetable, i felt in a Renner store...
    Honestly, I did know Dua Lipa as the "new rules" or "IDGAF" or other songs about ex boyfriends, but this album is really another level of quality, theres is not a full bad song, I could enjoy most part of the album, and I think that, with this piece of work,

    Generic disco type music. It aged like milk for me. Overhyped in my opinion.

    I don't often give a low score to a new album, but this collection of repetitive and basic electronic sounding tunes left me disappointed. I had really high expectations based on the critics reviews, but I really struggled to make it through the whole album. TBH, I had to skip ahead on a few songs as it was painful to make it through to the end of the tune.

    So many poor songs on the album! Lack of emotional and personal growth in the creativity.

    Boring and repetitive. This album is full of fillings. Only Don’t start now and physical are the best songs from it. When you listen to it once you don’t want to listen to it again. Lipa tries to bring back the 80’s sound but she lost her way in the process.

    chato, nada original, precisou colocar o nome "future nostalgia" para parecer novo e nao uma cópia de musicas antigas, 1 ponto pelos produtores a qualidade da melodia é boa ate mas de resto nada original e decepcionante

    The worst album of 2020 for now. It's so mediocre and generic. Her every song sounds the same. I expected something better

    Ok I have listened to it several times and it is an excellent album but it does not fit the concept of this tragic year, something more melancholic and reflective is needed.
    I hope their songs can be danced in 2021 when the quarantine ends.

    I honestly don't see all the hype around this project. It feels like an 80's pop knock off.

    the lyrics on the album are so perfect, they have the potential to be a hit, but without a doubt dua lipa can't handle this, dua has a lack of vocal technique

    I gave the whole album a listen out of curiosity but it all kind of sounds the same, high strong pop music built specifically for the charts.

    I did not like it, after listening to Physical I was expecting so much more, the music is so blend and literally 0 energy in the production. Been there; done that!

    Really generic. Nothing inventive or refreshing. Music heard dozens of times before from other dance pop and house artists.

    Basic pop album. The same washed up beats with changing rhythms. Nothing special. Overhyped. Only 3 good songs.

    Me parece muy sobre valorado, es un rejunte de sonidos de los aƱos ochenta.

    Small quibbles notwithstanding, Future Nostalgia is the perfect antidote to quarantine-induced cabin fever.

    With this flawless effort, she manages to achieve both. Future Nostalgia could have just as well been titled "Future Classic."

    Make no mistake, her risks are still very within the context of a 4/4 pop structure, but she still finds such color and joy in her surroundings it's hard not to get swept up in her energy. Such risk-staking, however, can still lead to a few moments that could've used a bit more polish.
