    I bought "Fifth Harmony" yesterday along with the new album ''Camila" by the former integrande of the group, and frankly now I can understand why she left. This album is kind of well produce but it lack hard in lyrics. It's not a bad album, but it's certainly an album that I would not listen again. This does not surprise me as this is a typical band focused on success without substance.I bought "Fifth Harmony" yesterday along with the new album ''Camila" by the former integrande of the group, and frankly now I can understand why she left.

This does not surprise me as this is a typical band focused on success without substance. But at least in older albuns the songs had a feminine empowerment messege, now most are just very sexual or average (i have nothing against this, is just not my style). The most annoying thing is: They all are vary talented but the style of the songs never showcase the potential that they can achive, it's really a shame.… Expand

    I have never heard anything more disappointing. I expected better. Their songs are very average, and they now sound bland.

    Poorly written album, every song is so unoriginal. Would not recommend this album.

    The album is extremely disappointing and lackluster. They lack an identity as a group and the attempts to replicate their previous hits fail big time. They're better off as solo artists.

    This is so generic, their past album sounds better than this one. I'm disappointed.

    I found this album to be the blandest of the three they've released thus far. It felt rushed and incohesive. The vocals were phenomenal, but unfortunately not enough to drive this disconnected mess to be anything more than a weak come back that could have waited another several months. 10 songs is a short list and yet these managed to drag on for what felt like an eternity.

I wish the best for the four remaining members of this car wreck of a girl group, but in the mean time will be much more excited to see what is coming forth from their former much more interesting member.… Expand

    Tragic, so generic and lackluster. Disappointing album compared to their earlier ones.

    This album may as well be the worst album of 2017. Full of generic R&B influenced pop tracks with zero meaning to them. Very disappointing knowing that their previous albums are really good. I didn't know a loss of a band member could lead to loss or originality.

    Um álbum de 10 músicas onde apenas 3 tem possibilidades para ser single é extremamente decepcionante. Não superou o 7/27.

    This is a mixture of soft and eccentric rhythms that are concentrated in the harmonic dance that the 4 former members have, after the departure of camila pelo we all imagined that they would focus on an album of hints but it was just the opposite, congratulations for their album so personal and full of good rhythms.

    I expected them to deliver bc they're 4 piece now. They sound bland and too bubblegum for me. The songs have 0 emotions portrayed. Just no.

    Generic album, no identity, empty lyrics and only a couple of good/average songs. The biggest disappointment of the year for me by far, I expected more quality.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A tragic new start for the girl band Fifth Harmony.
    With the drop of their member Camila Cabello, Fifth harmony also drop in music quality. They still need to find their identity as a group.
    The album is full of generic summer "bops" with no correlation, most of the songs are recreations of their biggest hits. Nothing new or surprising.
    Except for Sauced Up - A chill summer bop
    Bridges - A nice upbeat ballad with cute meaning
    And Angel - A trap r&b sexy bop

    The other songs are straight generic trash with repetitive chorus.
    Also I don't know why they claim to "co-write" their songs, they used like 6 writers to make simple songs like "Sauced up".
    I had big expectations for this but it's too generic and expose how loose they are without the lead member Camila.    … Expand

    I honestly was hoping for more. After the fifth member left I thought they would improve since she had the most distinct voice, but no, they still the same thing. Maybe the name should change from Fifth Harmony to No Harmony. And that is not even what bothered me most, it was actually the empty lyrics, only one of the tracks was more elaborate. Really disappointed!

    The majority of its ten tracks resemble either retreads of their former glories or listless attempts at Spotify-friendly R&B which rob them of any identity whatsoever.

    Fifth Harmony isn’t offensively bad, in fact, it sits quite comfortably with many other acts dominating the charts at the moment. But it’s too safe, too by-the-numbers, too beige to stand up to even Fifth Harmony’s previous work, which carried more lyrical and musical heft.

    A workmanlike pop album, vocally immaculate and sonically au courant, but seldom more than functional.
