    An unbelievably bad debut album with uncomprehended sober vocals. Pop is dead in this regard. This "art piece" won 2 Grammy Awards for 2019.

Some of the sober moments of the album don't even stick out, don't get me wrong I like two Billie Eilish song, yes, two songs; I only like "everything i wanted" and "lovely (feat. Khalid)". !!Those songs aren't in the album!! Someone who unironically listens to this from start and finish and says "Omg this is amazing and definitely deserves an album of the year and a pop vocal album of the year", Bad guy also won 2 Grammy Awards and Billie became the best new artist. Without talking about crooked Grammies anymore I wanna touch on the subject of the album once more. The title is definitely one of the worst ever, not even being likeable to the listener because it's not presented as more than a stupid teenage project. The track xanny and all the good girls go to hell are great examples of oddly bad instrumentals. all the good girls also features annoying chatter, random sayings at the end. The opening is also very bad before the lead track comes in. It's non-inspiring title is "!!!!!!!". Every good producer would've hated this project. I feel like this is a project that was pulled by Billie and Finneas who brought everyone else involved in it with their bad ideas to the very deadline and made it very **** There's nothing intriguing about it and I am glad it's completely dead by now… Expand

    in all honesty this is one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. its an emotional roller coaster from start to finish and it actually tells a story. its a very coherent album as well because from the start it has a specific feel but as you go through the tracks the story keeps going and the feel of the album changes as well. love this album, will never get enough of it.

This album's hauntingly playful compositional depth and engaging lyricism set it apart from its contemporaries and many of its predecessors.

    The lyrical depth of every track begs for our engagement. It has the magnetism that keeps you in your car before going into the grocery store, listening to track over track, teasing out all the levels of meaning in each stanza. All the while, you are trying to wrap your head around the idea that a 17 year and her older brother wrote, performed and recorded this album in her bedroom! The music elucidates truths people in their 40s have yet to discover.

    The lyrics grab us, but the acoustical complexity and wholly original arrangements keep us in that car. The arrangements feature melodic beats, samples from The Office and crosswalk beepers and Billie's laughter, all perfectly orchestrated together with Billie's beautiful vocals and expressive intonation.

    There isn't a single bad track on the album. Putting this album on repeat is a truly great way to spend an afternoon.    … Expand

    Es algo totalmente diferente a lo que estábamos acostumbrados, es un nuevo aire para la música con una voz y estilo musical muy característicos. Su futuro parece prometedor esperemos se mantenga con este nivel musical,

    one of the best albums i've ever heard in my whole life, zero skips and every track has a wonderful production and vocals. Unique theme, definitely nothing you've seen before, pleasing to the ear

    Um dos meus álbuns favoritos. Billie Eilish e seu irmão, Finneas, criaram um álbum consistente e muito diversificado - você pode rir com "bad guy", dançar com "my strange addiction", sentir medo com "bury a friend" e se afogar em suas próprias lágrimas com, provavelmente, a faixa mais triste do álbum: "listen before i go".

    Nunca había escuchado una producción similar en mi vida a la de Finneas, es brutal e incomparable. Además el disco en composición está muy currado, Billie ha llegado para quedarse, ganas de más.

    This is terrible. There is no music, just some kind of accumulation of sounds on the timeline, and if you read the text, it just becomes awful how disgusting it is.

    i believe it's a good album,but it's ridiculously overrated in my opinion. just because it's made by a young artist doesn't mean giving much more merit

    The highs are thrilling, and despite their obvious pedigree, arranged unlike anything else in contemporary pop. They also reveal the lows more starkly: the saccharine, coyly suggestive 8, played on a ukulele, and I Love You, which sounds suspiciously like Hallelujah, are better off left to YouTube ingenues than an artist of Eilish’s otherwise clear vision.

    Possibly one of the best albums from 2019, this album has strong track after strong track with fantastic vocal performances from both Billie and her brother. The production is some of the best I have ever heard and it's genuinely a joy to listen to with a good hifi setup.

    The Avril Lavigne of this generation, in comparation of the rest her music stays unique and not as commercial or basic but still very successful “Bad Guy” is already a classic and huge. Massive debut album including all Grammys along with a cool impactful image to her brand. Go Billie!

    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.
