    Really didn't like it. Had high hopes for it but ended up super disappointed by both the lyrics and music. Really hope he has some better work next time. Really love Liam though!

    not a very good album, the songs remind me og something that would be popular in 2010. and his song both ways was pretty bad considering the lyrics...

    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.

    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

    I mean... it’s simply not good. Lyrically bland pop overkill. It completely lacks any compelling perspective, story, or meaning behind his boring or otherwise misogynistic auto-tuned lyrics. Liam, put some real emotion into the next one. For the love of all things holy

    Not very original. The writing is way too week and there’s no emotion or anything to lure in the people.

    Si mezclas canciones pop básicas con un poquito de misoginia y otro poquito de fetichización de las chicas bisexuales tienes LP1

    nothing special about this album. in fact it **** bisexuals and talks about doing someone's arse in the backseat of his car. it’s cheap and sad that it took him two years to produce this half assed record. it just seems like liam is only talking about superficial surface level things. if he wants his next record to do well he should get an ego check and maybe dig a little deeper withinnothing special about this album. in fact it **** bisexuals and talks about doing someone's arse in the backseat of his car. it’s cheap and sad that it took him two years to produce this half assed record. it just seems like liam is only talking about superficial surface level things. if he wants his next record to do well he should get an ego check and maybe dig a little deeper within himself to actually come up with something of meaning. maybe he’ll only be known for being a former member of one direction.… 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

    Liam has a beautiful voice, but his songs are more of the same, formula ready. Sexualizing bisexuals was not a good move. Improve.

    He relies on inane songwriting concepts, rote misogyny, and feelingless flexing. The lyrics are puerile and half-baked.

    Spread over 17 songs that tick off genres with all the flair of an automated Spotify playlist, Payne’s anonymity remains the album’s default through line. Occasionally painful yet weirdly Payne-less.

    Ultimately, a few things come from repeated listenings of “LP1″: First off, the writing and singing aren’t strong enough and come across as C-level Timberlake material. Two, without being surrounded by 1D, he shouldn’t sing high, flightily and airily, but rather stick to slow, low groovers. Three, Payno should find one or two styles that work best for him — and not put a host of other singers before him, male or female — and stick to them.
