    A mess, production wise? Mess. Lyrics? Mess. Vocals? Maybe he did one thing right... But as a whole? He just wanted to chart and the whole album ended up like that.

    Since Liam released his debut single "Strip That Down" all we heard of him are basic,boring and generic songs.He's always trying to make songs that are ready to become but continue flopping.Hey Liam,nobody buys it anymore.

    Basic and recycled. Bad sounds, trash lyrics and mediocre singing, couldn't even come up with a creative name and/or cover for the album. Worst album I've heard on a while, if i had to define it in one word, it would be T R A S H. Nothing against you Liam but please, stick to modeling and never hit a studio again xoxo

    most of the songs are nothing more than generic trash. liam payne honestly had great potential but wasted all of it. the lyrics are extremely superficial and **** not to mention some even contain problematic remarks. 100% disappointed with this debut, i’m sure he could do a lot better.

    Over sexualises everything and the beats are nothing new. Just desperately sounds like he’s trying to fit into hip hop culture where he doesn’t necessarily fit. “Both Ways” is a horrific song with lyrics fetishising bisexual women, it’s hard to believe this song got through so many levels of production to actually be released.

    Liam Payne. He’s a good singer with a six pack. however, his lyrics are questionable and “both ways” is an anthem for douchey straight guys who only “support” the lgbtq community when it comes to **** bi women for their pleasure. good bye and good flop.

    Definitely the worst album of the year. No lyrics, music, or anything in the songs. His voice could be great but the lyrics are making if bad; he's sexualizing women all along the album, he is also sexualizing bisexual women. Whatever, this album is just about having sex and comparing women to sport cars. I was waiting for something else, something good, but it didn't happen.

The only redeming quality is that liam has a halfway decent voice. Maybe if he gets another go at this and his record label doesn't drop him for crimes against music (and fasion) he will stop trying to be whatever the hell he thinks he is and start actually exploring himself and discovering who he is as a person and musically.

    Some songs have horrible lyrics, and there's a lot of old songs in it ( strip that down, get low, bedroom floor, for you, familiar). Through all this songs you suddenly get a Christmas song which is weird and confusing.

    Worst album of the year, boring, repetitive, awful lyrics. Both Ways is the worst song of the year. Don't waste your time in this.

    Some artists are simply not meant for be solo artists. This album doesn’t do justice to his voice, a long album with awful and laughable lyrics.

    This has to be a joke... over 40 writers for one of the worst albums I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

    He relies on inane songwriting concepts, rote misogyny, and feelingless flexing. The lyrics are puerile and half-baked.

    Spread over 17 songs that tick off genres with all the flair of an automated Spotify playlist, Payne’s anonymity remains the album’s default through line. Occasionally painful yet weirdly Payne-less.

    Ultimately, a few things come from repeated listenings of “LP1″: First off, the writing and singing aren’t strong enough and come across as C-level Timberlake material. Two, without being surrounded by 1D, he shouldn’t sing high, flightily and airily, but rather stick to slow, low groovers. Three, Payno should find one or two styles that work best for him — and not put a host of other singers before him, male or female — and stick to them.
