    It's a great album. I mean, the lyrics are just **** but the melodies are pretty good. In this album, Liam Payne doesn't show us who are Liam Payne, he just put superficial lyrics in some pop sounds.

    pretty disappointing, liam has so much potential but to see this was the best he could do is tragic. all songs sound the same, lazy pop writing to gain radio hits, but even that isn't working for him.

    Trash, it's embarrassing that it took multiple years and writers to bring out an album with lyrics like "meet me in the parking lot, I'll probably do your ass in the car", as well as lyrics describing a bisexual woman with "Lovin' the way that she's turning you on
    Switching the lanes like a Bugatti Sport". Sonically just trying very hard to appear to mainstream charting. Payne has

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Liam had so much potential that he unfortunately has not used. The album contains a bunch of old singles ans collaborations that contribute to the album feeling more like a "bravo hits" or "best of" than a debut project. The album has a few good moments like Remember and a few of those singles but disappoints severely with songs like "rude hours" and "both ways" lyrically. The first may can be regarded as being purely shocking and provocative while both ways is just a no-go in this day and age. The production value is good though not existing. His sound definitely fits well on the radio and I hope he will have his moment. However, it is forgettable and his sound is not distinct nor unique which might be his downfall. Liam is an amazing vocalist and great life. His solo debut album failed to show what a great artist he could've been and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. He might has put too much of his energy into other project and or has not found his own identity. Truly hope that he will find himself in the future and deliver a sophomore project that shows his talent and abilities. Expand

    Music is something to enjoy, immerse yourself into and cherish, and unfortunately this album does not accomplish any of those things.

With superficial and bland lyrics to computer generated beats, at first look, this album looks as if it’s been created by an amateur lyricist and producer, you wouldn’t think this album has been made by someone who’s been in the music industry for a decade and one of the most influential pop boy bands of the 2010s. This hyper-sexualised, lacklustre album appeals to the minority of music listeners, with lyrics that insinuate bisexual women are made for the male gaze, with majority of the songs portraying women as being an object only of sexual desire. This album, although obviously made for superficial radio music even misses the mark on that one. Expand

    I expected sooo much from him, given his talent to songwriting and a his beautiful voice, that he showed off in 1d, but i was so disappointed to find out that he is yet another basic musician that sings about women like they’re objects and sexualises bisexuality. Could barely listen to it till the end. Liam, you can do soo much better

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a fan of Liam for nearly 10 years now. He is exceptional with a great voice, stage presence and song writing abilities. However I felt that the album was let down and that he could have done a lot better than this. His vocals on the album were strong but the lyrics were poor and at times offensively bad. It was disappointing that he wrote so few of the songs when he wrote a very amount of One Direction sounds along with his old bandmate Louis, he wrote the most songs. I hope that next time he writes more songs and releases songs that mean something and are personal to him. It’s not a bad album but it’s not a good one either. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn’t like liam’s album. I love him and I’m so proud of what he accomplished with 1D but LP1 is soulless. It doesn’t say anything about him and I looked at the songs that he wrote and he barely wrote a couple of them (don’t remember how many, but were less than 6 I think). I think he focus on quantity instead of quality and he aimed for a hit instead of something that represented him as a person and artist. His songs don’t tell stories, don’t move you, don’t make you feel anything more than cringe with the lyrics. I would like to think that he was not well advised and that he only followed his records advises instead of following his guy. But needless to say I expected more from Liam. He has an amazing voice and he is capable of more, he just has to stop looking for hits and focus more about giving his music soul and meaning.

    When worldwide musical phenomenon One Direction announced its split back in 2015 the world was shocked. Thousands cried enough tears to see their own reflection in them. What helped 1D's fans to stop with this life-drama was the fact that they could now be able to go to their favorite member's tour and enjoy their solo music.

What helped 1D's fans to stop with this life-drama was the fact that they could now be able to go to their favorite member's tour and enjoy their solo music.
    Payne started teasing a solo album back in 2017 and the world couldn't be more pleased with his debut single. This, however, evolved to a series of too-commercial bubblegum pop singles that have been included in "LP1" which, thanks to this, has been transformed in a kind of greatest hits album with a couple of new tracks in order to achieve a gold certification faster.
    LP1's production is predictable and too teen. It exposes that he hasn't evolved in years and has stuck to his teenage years; in this fairytale non-realistic world. In conclusion, the album is too generic and boring. A terrible move for Liam Payne whose future seems dark if he continues putting this kind of songs which only appeal to sex out instead of focusing on growing up musically and personally.
