    Well. i think The Chainsmokers have improved since "SELFIE"!... thats not saying much. Cheap production, just AWFUL vocals from Andrew Taggart, and some of the most unbearably simple lyrics I've ever heard. Don't buy this, its not worth your time. 1/10

    1/10 only for something just like this, coldplay saved this mediocre from total failure

    Okay, this album is bad. I don't even think this is an EDM album, I think it's more than a plain pop album rather than an EDM album, and are The Chainsmokers DJs? Why did they make a pop album rather than an EDM album? It's mediocre and unmemorable. I am bored.

    Ok, this is not a stupidly horrible album, the musics are "ok", but do they need to sound EXACTLY THE SAME? The musics in this album are acceptable, but they def don't have personality enough to be memorable or even distinguishable, it's even exaustive to listen to this album, but the last track "Last Day Alive" gets to be a nice surprise in the middle of such a messy album.

    Better than I expected it to be at the very least. It still made me want to leave this mortal plane in a bad way.

    This certainly is not one of the worst albums ever recorded; indeed, it has its moments of merit that hit the proper spots and deliver the intended dose of dopamine. However, as a cohesive statement worthy of an album's length of the listener's attention, Memories is lacking.

    Riddled with resentment and lyrics that land with a self-serious thud, Memories is a stunningly drab record. For the most part songs plod along at a strenuously mid-tempo pace, and are mostly lacking in any sonic detail that would reward closer listening.

    Mr. Taggart is a capable but unexciting singer. And he has shockingly few lyrical ideas, less of a concern for performers more adept with melody. ... Two back-to-back songs, the impressive “Honest” and “Wake Up Alone,” parse the weight that fame exacts on emotional relationships--they’re among the most credible on the album.
