    Vocally, he is improved a lot than the last album.
    This album is great, but Purpose still his best album so far!

    A Comeback album should be something special.... Half of the songs are features and literally every song sounds the same....

    You would think an album which would take so long to make wouldn't sound so generic to each other song. Looks very rushed and poorly made.

    This album was really...awful. It literally felt like i was listening to the same song over and over and so on. Justin, you’ve made one of the worst albums i have ever listened to.

    Mediocre sound with so weak lyrics. 5 years of production and this is what the public gets. Bieber needs to step up for his good voice with a good production of album of talented producers and songwriters. Try better!

    Sonidos súper monótonos, nada innovador, producciones repetitivas y sin alma, prácticamente un disco en donde todas las canciones tienen la misma base con diferentes letras, realmente su carrera está en picada y si no tiene más que ofrecer seguro con suerte terminará pronto.

Whether it’s by comparing it to other albums out there (which would be a quick comparison) or judging it by itself, it just doesn’t work. Expand

    Enquanto Scooter Braun vem falhando na quesito hit da vida do Justin, ele vem falhando em todo resto. O álbum é uma bosta, a mudança que existe é só no título das faixas, porque todas tem a mesma batida genérica trap.

    i think this album is only getting bad reviews because people love to be petty, and because it's different from his others so it wasn't expected. but truthfully, this album is fantastic and for an r&b album- it's definitely outdid. give a listen

    his voice has always had a very soothing beautiful tone and he hasn't used it to it's potential much in the past, though i believe his pop music takes the cake- this is an album that shows his talent and the variety he's capable of! he'll go down in history.

    I am a Belieber since 2010 but I have never heard such a boring album from him. In my opinion all of the songs sound waaaay too much alike and the lyrics seem not the slightest bit believeable. Plus, the melody of "Running over" is just plain stolen from Asher Monroe's song "Synergy".

    Es un álbum básico y repetitivo, con un concepto que no termina de concretar este disco. Tiene tracks que se salvan pero en su mayoría es decepcionante si tomamos en cuenta el trabajo discográfico antecesor. La lírica en su mayoría va dedicada hacia una persona lo que hace un álbum un tanto aburrido.

    This is honestly not a good album. His vocals are pretty decent, but he can’t keep up with them live. His lyrics are mediocre. His beats all sound pretty much the same and they sound like they were 2017 EDM rejects. After a 4 year hiatus after purpose, I expected something better and more mature than this. This is honestly such a disappointing album & a really sad comeback.

    It was almost 5 years without a new album by Mr. Bieber and the great phenomenon of "Purpose" worldwide, the hope of his great return was great but this feels like something difficult to digest and even unpleasant, there is nothing new at all these songs that sound identical with a melody so "ringtone".

I would much rather an artist put out a cohesive album like this one than an album that'd all over the place. It's clear that he took his time with this and in a way made this entire album a love letter to his wife. I love the growth. Good job JB!

    While Bieber's voice still sounds like that of a mid- to late-teen, singing seems to come more naturally to him, and his falsetto pleas are neither bitter nor entitled, strictly genuine and adult.

    It’s a record in total lust and fealty to Hailey; you’ll probably want to duck out to use the bathroom halfway through.

    Artists can certainly grow up and mature without losing their edge or creative spark. Changes, however, is ultimately a transitional record that finds Bieber navigating how to reconcile adulthood with pop stardom—and discovering that, at least in his case, this merger is a tricky one.
