    The album is good that’s for sure; Sheeran is too talented to deliver a sub par album. It suffers in terms of consistency.

    Charmless kiss-offs (“Don’t”) and sappy sentiments (“People Fall in Love in Mysterious Ways”) dominate otherwise, landing with the thud of the authentically uninspiring.

    X is a vapid and overly confident album that feels more like regression than progression for Ed Sheeran's indie folk sound.
