    A mess, production wise? Mess. Lyrics? Mess. Vocals? Maybe he did one thing right... But as a whole? He just wanted to chart and the whole album ended up like that.

    Since Liam released his debut single "Strip That Down" all we heard of him are basic,boring and generic songs.He's always trying to make songs that are ready to become but continue flopping.Hey Liam,nobody buys it anymore.

    The lyrics are terrible, the sound is even worse. So, yeah, there's nothing here other than generic instrumentals with boring vocals and lots of senseless mumbling.

    This album is trash from top to bottom.It seems his solo music career has started on the wrong foot.Maybe he should consider venturing into something else

    Basic and recycled. Bad sounds, trash lyrics and mediocre singing, couldn't even come up with a creative name and/or cover for the album. Worst album I've heard on a while, if i had to define it in one word, it would be T R A S H. Nothing against you Liam but please, stick to modeling and never hit a studio again xoxo

    this sounds like it was wrote by a below average intelligence teenage boy, the song both ways is extremely tone death and i can’t believe he was allowed to release it. besides that it’s incredibly boring and there’s not even a tiny ounce of personality in this entire album

    most of the songs are nothing more than generic trash. liam payne honestly had great potential but wasted all of it. the lyrics are extremely superficial and **** not to mention some even contain problematic remarks. 100% disappointed with this debut, i’m sure he could do a lot better.

    A full length of bad songs and generic music. The appeal for sex and nudity makes everything even worse.

    simplesmente genérico, letras fracas e rasas, um potencial gigantesco desperdiçado ao ser induzido a tendência das massas musicais passageiras atuais não trazendo nenhuma inovação ou que demonstra autoria/personalidade própria no projeto

    literally the worst release out of the 1d members and possibly one of the worst albums i’ve ever heard. I expected better but it was mostly for radio made music that literally has no meaning.

    horrible horrible horrible, after so much **** comes a Christmas song, is that serious? worst, putting music of 2017 to see if it has any impact ... jesus, he didn't have an ep? It's sad because I believed him with his powerful voice, but he used it to make a generic bomb, no medoly, no salt, no life, no fun, I thought the worst ex 1D was louis, but jesus, he's the worst in everything,horrible horrible horrible, after so much **** comes a Christmas song, is that serious? worst, putting music of 2017 to see if it has any impact ... jesus, he didn't have an ep?

    This is the most generic pop album of all time. He literally put a 2017 song for increase streams but this album is a completely trash.

    This is absolute garbage. It's just a bunch of inconsistent songs with no musical identity. My cats would write better lyrics.

    0 stars. I didn't know music could make me feel like puking. LP1 is overly sexual and narcissistic, GENERIC as hell and literal TRASH. When high sex drive is your only personality trait, then the addition of **** lyrics doesn't help.

    "I’ll probably do your ass in the car.” “You gotta work for it.” ...LP1 includes Liam seeing women as objects, seeing bisexual women as objects for threesomes, controlling women for his own horny ass, it is actually disgusting. Liam has no personality, never had. His high sex drive is the only thing his music will succeed at bc sex sells. Simon Cowell was right that he isn't meant to be a"I’ll probably do your ass in the car.” “You gotta work for it.” ...LP1 includes Liam seeing women as objects, seeing bisexual women as objects for threesomes, controlling women for his own horny ass, it is actually disgusting.

I always say I love 1D except for Liam. Liam can go **** himself. He won't even apologize bc he's a narcissist who only cares about his orange tan and ego. He only cares about how to pose naked better and perfect his idiotic squinting. Expand

    this album is very confusing and...awful. why would he be releasing an album with songs over 2 YEARS OLD??? the lyrics are also atrocious (ex: “let me do your ass in the car???) how do you go from being 1D’s main songwriter to this? it is extremely underwhelming and not cohesive. stream literally anything other than this please god

    Horrible pop album. Nothing unique or different. Used the most tired pop formula and somehow still made every song incredibly horrendous. Great job Liam, there’s now an artist worse than Imagine Dragons

    I wanted to just say “girl what the hell.” but they require for me to type at least 75 characters so here we go. Girl what in the ever loving hell were those vibrations sent through my headphones to my brain.

    It's a hairs breath away from being one of the worst hours I've ever spent listening to music. Good voice, bad lyrics, bad tunes, bad songs.

    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.
