    The album is perfect. Louis Tomlinson wrote most of One Direction songs, he has a talent. His voice is incredible, and I feel amazing listening to it.

    Really REALLY unexpected! The songs are a nice blend of soft rock and pop very cool! Only the brave the shortest song is the biggest surprise too! Such a short song but the most interesting lyrics “All the lonely shadow dances from the cradle to the grave it’s a solo show and it’s only for the brave” and Don’t Let It Break Your Heart is very different on the album than the single!

Much nicer tones! Always You is fun song with some smooth vocals and upbeat sound! Very promising first album from what I’ve heard is the mastermind behind one directions songs clearly more evolved and more personal! Can’t wait to hear what else this young man has in store for the future! Expand

    I heard some sounds from One Direction some time ago and I confess that I expected the Louis Tomlinson album to follow the same jovial and even a little tiring line, but I was surprised in a very good way.

    In Walls, Louis Tomlinson is not afraid to show us his true self. In this golden debut album everyone is able to see what Tomlinson has to offer; pure talent as a singer and performer, a writer, a poet, A COMPLETE ARTIST.

Louis is doing so well since One Direction got into a hiatus and we could not expect less from this genuine brilliant artist. Each song passes a different vibe, but at the same time he is talking about something that we all know is true and he is passionate about it. Louis Tomlinson is doing amazing in this new era of his career and the Tour has not even started yet. What more can we expect, Tomlinson, since you have given us this absolutely golden debut album?

    The full vibe of this album fits what I usually listen to on a daily basis. Radio is focused on badass beats with shallow lyrics that this album feels fresh and different. Give this a go!

    Walls is a full emotional and honest album highly influenced by indie pop/rock artists like Oasis, The Fray, The Script, Sam Fender and with some One Direction's last album vibes.

    Louis Tomlinson is not only an artist, he is a legend for been so amazingly innovative in the new musical industry.
    This debut album hit #1 in 50 countries (including USA and the UK)! Even though he got zero promo from the manage, only showing that he has raw nature pure talent and that the public knows when something is really good and they just appreciate, not caring for some magazine bad critic, nor if it isn't the style normal played in radios. Because when you feel insecure, you will hear Perfect Now; or when you are missing someone who died, Two of Us will be the first song that will came to your mind; when you feel down, Don't Let It Break Your Heart will save you; when you feel that you achieve your goals, you will hear Walls, cuz you broke down all the obstacles of the way; when you wanna hear something alternative that has never made before, you hear Only the Brave.
    All the song represents the force to keep holding on.

    I loved the album, the songs and the feelings they bring, at the same time that it refers to a great nostalgia makes us addicted to the great confessions of romance. Without a doubt, Louis Tomlinson managed with this album to bring a great feeling to those who listen to him.

    Walls is one of the precious album that I have heard in my whole life. The songs are so good, the lyrics is great and the instrumental it’s on point. You won’t regret listening it

    Try as he may, Tomlinson has not quite progressed from featured voice to solo artist. For all the major changes in his life, his music seems to be stuck in place. You can take the boy out of the boyband, but not the boyband out of the boy.

    Solo debuts with this much expectation are incredible challenges. While “Walls” isn’t a craven ripoff or an attempt to recapture One Direction highs, it’s not yet clear exactly who Tomlinson is without them.

    Even if the songs on Walls aren't the most distinct or memorable, they come from a place of authenticity that's genuinely heartwarming and enjoyable. Like any other settled adult, he's perfectly content to stick to the reliable and Walls winds up being the most mature and natural of the ex-1D bunch.
