    It's ILLEGAL how good this album is!! Every song is so perfectly produced, the lyrics are so beautiful, talking from mental issues to heartbreaks and self worth. All songs sound so unique but at the same time they coexist SO perfectly. Worth the 3 or 4 years wait for this 17 incredible bops. Really is an amazing debut album.

    Best debut album I've ever heard. It was like she was telling a story, the songs were great, her vocals were amazing, the production was rich and every song sounds different which I love. I will be listening to this album on repeat for a while. Well done, Madison Beer!

    The wait for Madison's debut was worth it. the songs are great, with excellent compositions and interludes. Life Support managed to show sincerity, vulnerability and trust.

    Every intricate detail stitches this album together, like a perfectly-woven dress. There isn’t a moment where Beer lacks & undercuts her message of vulnerability & sensuality. The production & lyricism is far from what the public imagined she’d be delivering. This album is commendable and beautiful. Congrats

    Such a good debut album!! Madison really took a different turn from what everyone was expecting from her and I loved how inspired she was by alternative music. "Follow the white rabbit" "Emotional Bruises" and "Stay Numb and Carry on" were my top 3, but this album was marvelous!! can't wait for more music from her

    The best album of the year. The harmony, melodies, her voice and everything happens fora reason. The best album I've listened in years! Better than the new Lana's work.

    Madison Beer has provided vulnerable, mid-tempo clarity laced in alternative, Tame Impala-esque instrumentation and vocal production that pays tribute to the greats such as Daft Punk and Paul Anka.

From the heartbreaking ballads to the empowering anthems, Madison has provided a broad spectrum of sounds and artistic executions that provide insight into the life of a 21 year old woman and her struggles, conveying strong & relatable emotions through varied topics of discussion. Notably, the album pushes successfully beyond the boundaries of a breakup album and steps into the world of mental health struggles (Depression, Anxiety & Medication) and the rollercoaster of emotions that can follow (loss, fear, loneliness). Additionally, the album is full of personal flair. With the 'Rick & Morty' sample, to the astrology references, Life Support develops its own personality as a project that only Madison Beer could truly articulate. From the word-play, to the numerical countdowns, Madison Beer possesses a clear understanding of the formula to a great pop song and excels in execution. This is a debut for the history books and one that deserves better. Expand

    Madison Beer made the wait worthy! It’s been years in the making and it shows, she put in the album 17 songs ready to break your heart into a million pieces and put it back together. Her volcals are insane, the young artist proved she is worthy of being a number 1 singer, the songs are 0 commercial, full of darkness and lovely bops to jam out!

    Madison Beer is a vocal powerhouse. As someone who has just come out of a toxic relationship, this album has been healing in so many ways. A beautiful debut album from start to finish.

    I was roped in by her 2020 single 'Baby' (simply a great pop song), but I had my doubts on whether or not she was really worth the listen - honestly because I was judging her character by her beauty. I love discovering a good album, good song, good music and true artist. That's what I got here with Madison. This is by-far one of my favourite albums of 2021, and an exceptional debut record.I was roped in by her 2020 single 'Baby' (simply a great pop song), but I had my doubts on whether or not she was really worth the listen - honestly because I was judging her character by her beauty.

    Haunting, compelling and etherial.

    Definitely by far THE most exciting and enthralling pop debut in a long time. Despite the year-long delay, Madison truly made it worth the wait. 17 songs and yet not a single dull moment. I am astonished and can't even begin to imagine what the next album will sound like.

    The album's 17 tracks address subject matter including breakups, grief, and struggles with mental health with a mix of pop, R&B, and alternative stylings and song titles like "Good in Goodbye," "Sour Times," and "Stay Numb and Carry On.

    While some tracks could stand to have their ideas explored more fully – in particular “Default” which ends suddenly right as things start to swell – this is still a satisfying listen from start to finish.
  3. On a lesser album, the eclecticism might lead to a lack of coherence, but this record is always threaded through with Beer’s diaristic lyricism. With its consistent, gut-punching honesty and witty wordplay, you’ll always find something special on ‘Life Support’.
