    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Fine Line is such an amazing album. Totally better than the self-titled. In this one, Harry opens up to us about how he felt after his breakup with his ex-girlfriend and shows his vulnerable self. It's so well produced and the vocals... OH MY GOD THE VOCALS, especially in "She" and "Falling" - which are personally my favorites are to die for. Also, a special shout out to Mitch for his amazing guitar solo in "She", gave me goosebumps. Expand

    O álbum é bom. Indiscutível. Agora, as temáticas trabalhadas e, mais especificamente, a forma em que foram trabalhadas não fugiram dos cenários óbvios. Vocalmente incrível. Sonoramente agradável (ponto positivo para o coral em Treat People With Kindness e a instrumentalização em Cherry ). Liricamente ok, porém previsível. Em suma, a gente se diverte.

    Just like its creator, Fine Line is a a colorful cover in a world of nothing with real substance.

This album feels more like a rushed assortment of cute titles and promo marketing than actual artistic growth or genuine creativity and imagination. Harry Styles needs to put more effort in song writing and lyrical development instead of trying so hard to sell his image. That image being a rip off of David Bowie, Elton John and Mick Jagger. For someone who looks highly of them, the listener would be confused if Harry was emulating or making a mockery of them. How drab and repetitive many tracks off the album come and go, building up to absolute nothing. Even the title track and the infamous motto of TPWK echo as uninspired. What seemed like a promising good start with Lights Up, you are left with an empty feeling as the album comes to a close. How did someone with the privilege and urge to be that different to his male counterparts miss the mark that hard? You think if only had Styles spent less time replaying Bowie videos and spent more time fostering his own artistic passion and vision, this album would have delivered something of interest. Frankly, I'm not buying what Harry Styles is selling. Expand

    Harry failed to step aside of his comfort zone in terms of exploring different themes on this album. Like his last body of work it seems like his writing consist of using the same phrases to try and explain his heartache about a certain breakup. In songs where he does try to dabble in some different teritory like TPWK he fails to lyricly bring out the essence of the song.

    Loved Harry’s first solo album (especially Sign of the Times and Meet me in the hallway) but Fine Line is truly special. The songs are evocative. She and Fine Line are probably my stand outs right now, but I could easily add any of the others! Truly a perfect album in my books

    In his self-titled solo debut album, released in 2017 and full of his idols' influences, Harry Styles showed us just a little bit what he was capable of and managed to establish himself as one of the biggest artists of the past few years.
    With 'Fine Line', his sophomore album, Harry Styles shows us less of his idols' influences by bringing totally different songs from his debut album
    In his self-titled solo debut album, released in 2017 and full of his idols' influences, Harry Styles showed us just a little bit what he was capable of and managed to establish himself as one of the biggest artists of the past few years.
    With 'Fine Line', his sophomore album, Harry Styles shows us less of his idols' influences by bringing totally different songs from his debut album production-wise and lyrical-wise.
    'Fine Line', an album described by Harry Styles himself as being "all about having sex and being sad", is more than what he describes as it shows his struggles on his past relationships and, mainly, his stuggle with himself. For me, 'Fine Line' is Styles' most sincere work, since he's not scared anymore of showing the world who he truly is.
    In conclusion, we can say that 'Fine Line' takes Harry Styles to another level as an artist and it's incredibly perfect. Harry Styles is finally being himself and I'm here for it.

Finally, you end up listening to fine line that, even though it may make you fell sad at the beginning, you end knowing that everything is going to be alright.

    In Fine Line there is much more honesty than in his self titled, the listener is persuaded to believe in every word he says due to how intimate everything feels. The melodies are absolutely mature and seem to be the focus of the album, which explains why he kept the lyrics minimalistic, way more than he did in his previous work. The album is overall very well constructed

    Fine Line is not a bad album, but it seems like Harry isn't quite sure of his musical direction (no pun intended).

His surprising, self-titled debut album combined different influences and sounds as well, but they were held together by their similar instrumentation, consistent tone and high-quality, but understated production. The sound of Fine Line on the other hand seems all over the place, there's not much common ground between the radio friendly, but lightweight pop songs, introspective, acoustic guitar songs, psychedelic reggae, campfire country etc. What's missing though are any good, fast rock numbers that were a highlight on his debut album (and in live concerts) or a timeless hit like Sign of the Times. Instead he included a track called Treat People With Kindness, that appears involuntarily comical in its Kumbaya anthem attempt.

    All in all there are some really good elements on this album, where Harry can definitely show his versatility and vocal prowess, but against his biggest competition - himself on his previous album - it appears confusing, of less consistent quality and falls ultimately (both musically and lyrically) short.

    You can hear him struggling in some tracks despite the autotune. He's definitely going to have to change the keys to perform this. Overall, it's not bad but it doesn't live up to the hype and over the top praise. It doesn't bring any emotional moments

Everything that people have said about the emptiness of the lyrics and the not-so-inspiring nature of the melodies is on the mark. The Wall Street Journal review is the most honest professional review I've seen. Every other professional is covering their real opinion with what to me is masterfully crafted rhetoric... They won't directly say it's below average, but the way they are beating around the bush with hands-off phrases are the same thing I do with people who have done poorly, but I don't want to discourage them with outright criticism; so I encourage them with abstract criticism that doesn't seem like they failed, but is not direct praise, either. I notice so many reviews trying to make this album "seem" good by comparing it to what great musicians have done and what this "attempts" to do, without saying directly that it doesn't quite meet up to the standards of those others' great works.

    I don't understand the hype. The only song worth listening to was Lights Up. The whole album is... so bland and the lyrics are awful. Harry doesnt seem to have one creative bone in his body. I'm just confused as to how such a mediocre album is doing such numbers? It has to be good promo

    No evolution from his first album, the lyrics are ordinary and have nothing special. The songs mostly carry a boring trate and it’s more of the same. A drop down from the debut.

    Boring, repetitive lyrics, a waste of time. Even Niall can do better than this.

    It's very distressing for Harry Styles to try to go of the genre "Rock". Yes, he is extremely talented, but wanting to be like a David Bowie of this generation is not very sure.
    This new work has managed to be worse than the previous one, songs that I don't quite understand what message you want to convey, but maybe with one or two that still won't let it be a musical disaster.

    Disappointing. It was hard to get myself through the album. No theme, just a bunch of various genre songs with bad vocals and poor production thrown together. Perhaps his first album was better. This wasn't my cup of tea

    Waste of time.
    Mine and the guy singing.
    Will the industry ever get up from the voice and other idols?
    this guy is over represented in the medias. WHY?

    anyway the 2 points are for the title song. nice one.

    Boring album. He always wants to be innovative but ends up getting a dull salad. You won't empower wearing dresses.

    they gave this album good reviews just because it’s a good looking white body who was in one direction. it’s not a good album at all.

    I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. It's boring, feels like he's trying too hard to be like some rock legends of the past, borrowing their sounds, but fails to live upto it.

    Fine Line by Harry Styles isn’t the modern classic it wants to be, but it offers a mostly engaging demonstration of his talent as an artist. The record excels at tapping into and sampling Styles’ obvious inspirations - The Beatles, Simon and Garfunkel, Nick Drake, Queen, Elton John - and takes the listener on a pleasant sonic journey through 1970’s funk-rock and folksy, gray sky ballads.Fine Line by Harry Styles isn’t the modern classic it wants to be, but it offers a mostly engaging demonstration of his talent as an artist.

It never manages, however, to get past being a tribute to a bygone era of music; it certainly hints at Styles’ massive potential as a rock star, but it doesn’t quite stick the landing despite the ambition.

    Most overrated and overhyped album of the year. Not Grammy-worthy. Do not understand these puff piece reviews.

    Harry Styles y su carrera como solista llegaron para quedarse con una producción mejor elaborada, sonidos mas pegajosos y refrescantes, lo cual no lo hace inferior a su trabajo anterior, ambos son impecables de principio a fin con la diferencia de que Fine Line demuestra sin duda alguna que esta a pocos pasos de consolidar por completo la carrera de Harry.

    This album is a masterpiece, stocked with original songs that feature superb vocals from Styles. Very different from the dire LP1 from Liam Payne. Liam did not even write his own songs and the album got 2* reviews from eight critics.

    Free of the shackles that hobbled his debut, Styles manages to show more of his personality here, especially on the Vampire Weekend-style Sunflower, Vol. 6. It's just a shame he can't quite keep up with his ambition. [Feb 2020, p.110]

    Fine Line is entirely inoffensive, but it’s also open-ended, and maybe those questions are the reward. Maybe Harry Styles just wants to keep us guessing.

    Fine Line proves that the musician has absorbed the best lesson passed down by California’s great musicians: Don’t be afraid to take chances within a folk- or pop-rock framework, as that’s how you create iconoclastic music that endures.
