    this album is amazing, I'm a huge billie fan and i think this album is a masterpiece, the lyrics are so good and it's easy to relate with them if you've passed for the same as billie did. bilie reallt knows how to talk and sing about depression and more stuff

    Imagine creating this masterpiece at SIXTEEN. From the moment this album came out, it was clear who will run the game in the next decade. BILLIE EILISH IS THE STANDARD.

    When we all are so used to a generic pop album, Billie releases this album. Such a unique one, so honest, so true, and so good. Billie is so young and so talent. Not only the best album of 2019, but one of all times, and maybe my personal favorite, I cant even pick a favorite song because they all are incredible. She really made a difference in the industry with this one.

    When we all fall asleep where do we go. I had to come back here years later to give the album its tens. Four years after and I never get tired of this. This album is a masterpiece that captures every mood. Not generic and still gets you grooving. I love it!

    The album perfectly describes a vulnerable as well as cool soul inside a Los Angeles girl.

    I really wasn't expecting to enjoy this album as much as I do. "Xanny" legitimately gives me an Aladdin Sane/Mike Garson vibe with the glammy piano and smoky vocals, and that's high praise indeed coming from someone who stans Bowie! "When the Party's Over" reminds me a bit of Fiona Apple and Banks, all powerful, stirring vocals paired with striking lyrics.

    I kinda like this album. It's creative and the songs sound good. F. O'Connell made a very good job. (he produced all tracks). Billie is only 17 and it's her debut album!

    It bothers me that most of these bad reviews are coming from Ariana Grande stans and not people who are objective with their arguments.

I admire Billie and Finneas' mind for coming up with great ideas while writing this record; not like certain pop artists who need 15 people to write just ONE song.

    I wish the album was full dark/heavy-bass (except for the last three songs).    … Expand

    One of the most interesting releases of the year! The only problem with the record is Billie’s voice in some points/songs where it’s barely audible.

    Different than everything out there right now! This album is amazing! A little bit more of a spark would have been good! Maybe a second Bad Guy type of song, a little more upbeat maybe

    Fascinating as Billie shows in this album that takes a mix of theme very well sung and with arrangements that mark who is the new voice of Indie-Pop

    Um álbum que agregou muito à cultura pop. Uma artista jovem que está iniciando sua carreira com um dos melhores álbuns do ano. Não me surpreenderia se ganhasse o grammy.

    The key words are 17 years old... SHE'S 17! at that age, being able to come up with such a complete album, it's says a lot on what is coming in the following years from Billie. Almost every songs give me chills every single time i listen to them. Yes, i consider myself as a fan, but i was scared that her album would go 5 directions For all those reasons, i give it a 9/10.

    Billie's album is a not exactly a surprise, but it definitely passes certain standards many modern singers don't pass. She dives deep into her emotions with every song seeming creatively influenced.

She dives deep into her emotions with every song seeming creatively influenced. The quality is fine to my personal opinion, the vocals aren't challenging but unique, and the lyrics help create beauty in every song. I fell in love with how her ability creates a pretty damn good storyline. Her songs are also really strange, but that good strange. For example, Xanny's loud vibrations warp her voice in such a way where the sound becomes my strange addiction (ha get it.)

    If you will not listen to the whole album, I recommend listening to "Xanny," "i love you," "wish you were gay", and "all the good girls go to hell". "my strange addiction," "listen before you go," and "you should see me in a crown," were all very good. "8," "ilomilo," and "bury a friend," we're all okay. "bad guy" was the only song I could describe as talking. Then there was "!!!!!!!" which wasn't a song, and "goodbye," which was a mix of all songs, that made a beautiful bop.

    No songs can be described as bad, they all have their weak sides. I think you need to be in the right mood to fully feel the feels, otherwise, it may not be a monumentally amazing piece. Together the imperfections make the album perfect.    … Expand

    Billie expresses in a clear and beautiful manner her dark and vibrant genius. The combination between FINNEAS stunning production and Billie’s angelic voice makes out of this debut album a total beauty with so many pleasing songs

    Applause to the first ASMR pop-album. Genius piece of art performed by young girl with a lot to say (or whisper) to you.

    When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? is a startlingly good introduction to Billie Eilish, an album full of attitude but with the talent to back it up. Where she goes from here will be fascinating to see.

    The 17-year-old sensation takes pop iconography and musical status quo and lacerates it, opting out of femme fatale for tomboy cargos and goth macabre, and sleek soundscapes for creepy eccentrics.

    This surprising, haunting album will speak powerfully both to her peers and to anyone who remembers how youth can sometimes feel like an overwhelming weight. [Jun 2019, p.110]
