    Walls is an album without skip. There is no song you don't want to listen to. Louis has been lookimg for his own vibe and he finally did it. While listening the album you can find on it a mix betweet the early 2000's pop with a lot of indie vibes making every song very special since we haven't heard material like this since so long. You will love the album since the moment you forget aboutWalls is an album without skip. There is no song you don't want to listen to. Louis has been lookimg for his own vibe and he finally did it.

You will love the album since the moment you forget about Louis being in One Direction (eventho his writing there was amazing too) and listen only to the own sound of Tomlinson's music. Give it a chance it is really good!… Expand

    This album is an example of authenticity, his lyrics are autobiographical and he trys to be as honest as possible. He's not trying to get his songs on radio, he follows his heart.

    Very beautiful and well written album. Louis is so talented. He really paved a way for himself and made the music that he feels comfortable with and I respect that so much. He doesn't care about hits and catchy songs he just pours his heart out on these songs.

    This is definitely one of the best albums I've heard in a long time. Louis is sticking to his roots and bringing back the sound of indie pop that has a nostalgic feel to it that you just cannot resist. The lyrics are so well written and tell such great stories both in each individual song and the album as a while. This is an album with zero skips and I think everyone should listen to it.

    Amazingly talented Louis Tomlinson releases his debut album Walls with 12 tracks out of which are 5 previously released singles. Lyrics and composition are above par and give a nostalgic feel to this Britpop inspired album. Worth the wait of 4 years for all music lovers.

    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.
