    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The 16 songs on Changes focus almost exclusively on the logistics of having sex when you are both hot, young, and working in fields that require a lot of time apart. The concept itself is kind of funny, but the execution is often unimaginative and cliché, especially given how earnestly Bieber delivers every line, no matter how ridiculous.… Expand

    Justin Bieber took five years to make his return to music. And, well, he did! But he did it in the most disappointing way possible. From hitmaker to desperate artist, Justin surrendered to a strictly generic style. "Changes" is a boring, monotonous and futile album. The impression is that we are listening to the same song in repeat mode.

    All the trap songs sound exactly the same, the lyrical content is redundant, the topics that this album cover are not those of an artist who had been away from spotlight for years. This album failed hard, especially for a seasoned artist like Justin Bieber. Disappointing.

    Eu não esperava um álbum perfeito mas imaginava no minimo algo audível, todas as sinfonias parecem ter sido tiradas de um nokia ano 2000, sem contar a voz fraca, o que só auxiliou ainda mais nessa poluição sonora. Francamente, pior album do Justin Bieber.

    Most of the songs sounds the same and the album was so underwhelming like considering the 4 years... purpose is his peak. Can’t even risk that much to offer something different or new. His vocals on most of the tracks is a waste cause of subpar production.

    This album is truly the most disappointing thing I've heard in a long time. Like it's crazy how he really went from releasing somewhat quality music to songs like Yummy that completely lacks lyrical depth. The songs all sound the same and the album is even worse than mediocre. Guess it's what happens when his muse changes... I used to be a belieber but I guess it's time to stan someone else now...

    What the actual fu*k? Why did he even release this garbage, he has good vocals for a male artist yet makes his songs so mediocre and boring to where I fall asleep 3 tracks in. Look, Purpose was a good album song wise and production/vocal wise but he spent 4 WHOLE YEARS on this? Heh no thank you, I also don’t want to bop to a song about eating

    Justin Bieber has unquestionably been one of the biggest pop stars of this generation.

Ruling the 2010s, the Canadian singer has come back to the musical scene after a long hiatus which he took advantage of to marry his fellow wife Hailey. After telling the world Bieber suffers of Lyme disease, had hard-to-deal with drug addictions and promised to change his terrible teenage behaviour, we all expected a touching album filled with emotional songs that perhaps would say sorry to some people for his past mistakes, expose the exploitation he suffered stepping into the music scene being so young etc. The wise always say: don't expect anything good thus you'll be able to omit deceptions. Well, apply this lesson to this album.
    "Changes" is a 50-minute long love letter to his wife. Almost too long for her. There's no other message in the album besides this one. The songs in it sound all the same from track 1 to track 17. Bieber has always relied on amazing an production in order to hide the lack of artistry he has. Don't get me wrong, I do not hate this artist, I just focus on the product he intends to sell us. Thus, Bieber has decided to come back to the game with a non-catchy album that feels like doesn't have bridges nor choruses.
    In conclusion, this album has been a terrible move for his carrier. It feels like Bieber hasn't even tried to make a good hip-hop/pop album like he used to do. So many things to be inspired by and he's only focusing on the most common and writing this cringy too extensive love letter?
    "Changes" is definitely a retrogression in his career coming from such an amazing project that "Purpose" (2015) was.    … Expand

    Después de 5 años regresa la estrella Pop, pero con un álbum muy turbio que pareciera que estuviese partido en 2, la primera parte y la segunda son muy monótonas y no hubo mucha innovación por parte de Bieber, un esperado regreso que terminó siendo una gran decepción, un Álbum que prometía pero no, una lástima, le falta reinventarse para seguir adelante si no seguirá estancado

This album is riddled with similar instrumentals and cringe worthy lyrics. Justin shoves into your ear drums how much he has s*x and is in love which becomes redundant. This album is a no from me. Do better, Justin. This was an utter disappointment.

    Canzoni tutte simili fra di loro. Ha ripetuto per mesi quanto l'album sarebbe stato R&B, ma in realtà segue semplicemente i trend del momento in modo fallimentare. Niente di innovativo o che faccia notare una possibile maturazione di Bieber, anzi. I vecchi album, forse, sono pure migliori.

    Ma con un singolo come Yummy, cosa potevamo aspettarci?
