    The best album of his entire successful career!

    LM5 arrives with everything in the music scene, making it clear that Little Mix is THAT MUSIC GROUP that the world expected to hear.

    This album deserves to be honored, Is it too much to ask for?

    Most for a female band. Not plain bubble gum pop. I like the mix of RnB to it, it’s a new sound for Little Mix. The intro is so powerful that it hooks every listener. I can only think of a few skips which are motivate and Love a Girl Right.

    Poder femenino. No existen otras palabras para definir este álbum. Se han establecido como el mejor girl group del mundo. Sus voces, sus armonías, sus sonidos. Este álbum representa lo que es Little Mix

    This album shows the grown side of them. It has a theme and it's mature. However, it lacks something.

    No hay un álbum tan más completo hecho por un Girl Group de su década e incluso de esta nueva. Little siempre destaca su empoderamiento femenino, sus excelentes vocales, armonías y sus hermosas letras. LM5 es una prueba de ello.

    Arte, cada parte de este álbum es impecable, un toque más oscuro del que se espera de un grupo pop, saben manejarlo a la perfección, Woman's world es un himno con cruda realidad, wasabi la mejor forma de callar a quien te odia, brillante juego de palabras.

    It's a very empowered and strong album, very powerful vocals, harmonies out of this world, they really delivered everything talking about friendship and feminism. They are tired of this macho industry and this album makes that clear. Stop sleeping on Little Mix, they are the Revolution !

    #LM5 is a brilliant pop-r&b sound filled with little mix's signature harmonies, lyrically inspiring messages of woman empowerment, self-love, and sisterhood. mixers have grown up with the girls and finally have the mature salutesque album we've been asking for. each listen will leave the listener feeling confident, uplifted, and ready to take on the world. their best album yet, periodt.

    The fusion of pop and strong messages is brilliant and effective. But I am so ambivalent about all of this. How can a band of women can defend self-acceptance, self-care and women empowerment by passing through so many plastic surgery operations? They sing 'I don't need a man, if I'm loving you it's because I can' but when I looked at their respective biography they almost were all with aThe fusion of pop and strong messages is brilliant and effective. But I am so ambivalent about all of this. How can a band of women can defend self-acceptance, self-care and women empowerment by passing through so many plastic surgery operations? They sing 'I don't need a man, if I'm loving you it's because I can' but when I looked at their respective biography they almost were all with a man since the age of 18 or even before. It feels like this album was produced with the idea 'do what I say and not what I do'. There are so many attractive and powerful messages through this project, but it loses all credibility once you read the biographies of these women. I wonder how they could have released it without being ashamed.

    The accent put on the pop part is really perverse and insidious because yes, 'LM5' is so shiny, so bright, so clever, but it also hides the cruel reality behind it. I suppose women with hardcore pasts like theirs are the best to talk about women empowerment but I can't believe in them since they feel so insecure and superficial.

    Now let's speak about music. This is some really interesting pop music. Lyrically it is remarkable. Musically it is way less. Some songs are just awesome (like 'The Cure', 'Only You' or 'Joan Of Arc') but some others are impressive by their awfulness and unharmonious side. This feels way too mainstream to be really and deeply heard and understood by concerned people. If it goes further than the love of money the creation of 'LM5' is admirable but let me doubt of it. If I didn't get informed about the women in the band I would have give LM5 a 8/10. But all things considered it deserves more something like a 5/10.

    Little Mix´s best album yet, for sure. Girls definitely got more mature and decided to bring a pop feminist bible to delight us all.

    AMAZING album. This Album is a Feminism anthem. Most songs have a strong empowering feeling. The songs have topics like loving your body, even though people's comments and those people are always gonna hate. They sing about being an independent woman, own your sexuality, not change for a man, how difficult it's to be a woman, and how strong is their friendship and how much they love eachAMAZING album.

    All this comes in some excellent Pop and R&B songs, like Woman Like Me, Strip, Notice, Woman's World, and Cure. Perfect sound and harmonies.
    Little Mix is always giving the BEST content.

    These tracks are vibrantly cross-pollinated, touching upon lush a cappella ("The National Manthem"), R&B flamenco ("Love a Girl Right"), and buzzy, exotic club bangers ("Wasabi"). No question, Little Mix are in charge here.

    Little Mix’s candidness throughout is admirable, even thrilling in its bravery.

    Little Mix albums have always struggled to find their own identity, and LM5 still owes too much to Beyoncé’s flirtation with hip-hop and top-40 trend chasing. It’s frustrating.
