    Com melodias menos genéricas mas seguindo o que está na moda nos dias de hoje, o Tropical House, e com composições mais trabalhadas, 7/27 demonstra realmente que Fifth Harmony amadureceu de um álbum para o outro, não tirando os méritos do Reflection, porém, 7/27 realmente demonstra a "cara" das garotas do Fifth Harmony.

Destaques: All In My Head (Flex) que tendo Dinah e Lauren como vocais principais trouxe um amadurecimento bastante notório para a faixa; No Way com Lauren comandando os vocais foi genial, seus vocais mais "obscuros" trouxeram um intimismo sem tamanho para a música; Gonna Get Better demonstrou toda a potência vocal e a emoção que a voz de Ally pode ter e transmitir e I Lied que houve uma sincronia harmônica dos vocais incrivelmente surpreendedora.… Expand

    Fifth Harmony não tá aqui de bricadeira não arrazaram! I Lied, Dope, No Way são destuidoras, e That's My Girl, All In My Head (Flex), Not That Kinda Girl são hinos! As outras musicas do album não ficam muito atras não!! Album super coeso e bem produzido, com boa distribuição de solos e otimos vocais!

    Podemos nos vangloriar de 7/27! Diferente do álbum anterior delas, Reflection, ele não é composto somente por músicas festivas e vocais agitados, mas com músicas mais tranquilas e com vocais mais calmos mas sem deixar as batidas marcantes no fundo de lado, deixando muito difícil não se apaixonar pelo álbum.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse álbum é muito diferente de outras eras musicais delas. Apesar de haver alguns deslizes como a falta de solos para algumas integrantes como Dinah em "The Life" e Ally em "I Lied, e também um destaque maior para Lauren que lidera grande parte das músicas, o albúm segue uma linhagem tecno tropical em grande parte das músicas que pode ser bem adotado por qualquer que não queira generalizar o gênero como pop… Expand

    O álbum é realmente muito bom! Finalmente encontramos algo menos genérico e comum, o álbum apresenta grandes canções com letras e ritmos incomparáveis. Claramente podemos ver que as notas usadas com 0 para esse cd não apresentam fundamento e sentido. Um dos melhores álbuns de 2016, perdendo apenas para Beyoncé Ariana Grande.

    This album is the definition of growth, which is especially shown in songs like Dope, I Lied, No Way, Gonna Get Better and All In My Head (which are my favourites). All 5 of their voices shine in this album, each member having moments that will leave you speechless (some more than others).

    Pop perfection! The perfect mix of songs to dance to & ballads. That's My Girl is a girl-anthem, and one of the best songs on the album. All In My Head (Flex) has awesome island vibes, definitely one of the best songs of the summer. I Lied & Dope are also AMAZING songs that people can NOT miss. Props to the best girl group of the world as in right now.

    The album is the perfect mix for a beach trip with friends and a chill afternoon. Really dynamic. I totally enjoy it. An older, matured Fifth Harmony were much more involved in the process of this record, We’re HERE for this confident, sassy anthem that encourages women to support and praise one another just like That's my Girl is. The catchy, fun nature of the album is impossible to ignore.

    This album is by far better than the group's first one, "Reflection", with a lot of possible hits and really catchy songs. Their vocals are on point and is one of the biggest highlights of "7/27". Fifth Harmony has shown with this album that they remain for another year as the best and the biggest girl group in the world.

    Fifth Harmony's sophomore album "7/27" is a monster of a banger. Unlike its predecessor, "Reflection", "7/27" is a fearless attempt at maturity. It explores themes such as love, heartbreak, and self-actualization.

As well as the group's strong point - female empowerment (most notable are the tracks That's My Girl and Not That Kinda Girl, which has legendary Missy Elliott on the track). Fifth Harmony has set themselves apart from their current counterparts by discovering their own unique sound, instead of wallowing in pop purgatory by sticking with sloppy ballads and forming their image according to the 'girl group stereotype'. The album itself is strong when it comes to the hard-hitting uptempo, but also very vulnerable and soft-spoken when it comes to more sensitive topics (No Way, Squeeze, Gonna Get Better). It is difficult to deny that in a patriarchally structured music industry, the empowering Fifth Harmony is breaking the scene.… Expand

The glo up in vocals, production, solo distribution, tonality, everything is just amazing! It is like they have included the best picks they had. This album is a perfect combination of upbeat, mid-tempo, and slow ballad. It couldn't be more perfect. They have found their sound and people are genuinely loving it. This labum has given the girls the chance to showcase their vocals that some of them couldnt do in the last album; and boy did they? Answer is yes! All the five girls equally shine and stand out in the songs. There is not one better than the other. These girls have worked hard for this and they deserve all the success. 7/27 is the best pop album to have released in a long time and that too by the biggest girl group in the world right now. I love it.    … Expand

    This album is amazing, there's not a song on here I dislike. It's a lot more mature than their debut, Reflection, both vocally and topically. The themes on 7/27 focus more on intimacy and relationships but still has a strong message of female empowerment on songs like That's My Girl.

    What comes with hard work is success, and in this case 5th Harmony's 2nd major LP release has showed the chemistry between each individual artist. Full of bangers, for good times and vibes, 7/27 is surely a commercial and acclaimed album.

    Album full of bops. This album is incredible. It's no longer "Camila and the others" but now everyone really shines. I like how they play with different sounds. My favorites are "That's My Girl", "Write On Me" and "Squeeze". My least favorites are "The Life" and "Not That Kinda Girl".

    The album itself is amazing in production and vocals. Fifth Harmony has matured in vocals and has made more valuable production than ever. Even though I like their debut album better than their new album, this album makes them more open to the public as a girl group which those types of groups aren't that common as much as it was in 1990s.

    All in all, a disappointing album compared to their last one. I know most people disagree will with me, but the songs on this album are just missing the melodies and the attitude from the last album. The production is different from Reflection, but I still like the new tropical house vibe they're going for. However, house production is notorious for making their singers boring.

The production is different from Reflection, but I still like the new tropical house vibe they're going for. However, house production is notorious for making their singers boring. Although that isn't always the case here, FH struggle on a few particular songs to make their vocals shine through the production. Like their last album, there are also some major miscalculations in terms of song style. This is most notable on tracks such as Work From Home ft. Ty Dolla Sign and No Way. The first is a snoozefest of an electronic R&B song, and the second is just a ballad structured completely wrong. However, songs such as All In My Head ft. Fetty Wap and The Life do a very good job blending the production and the vocals. Overall, I wish this was as good as their first album, but it's still a quality pop album on it's own merits.

Os solos são perfeitamente divididos, cada uma delas mostra seus maravilhosos vocais e as harmonias são ótimas.

I have to mention the Japanese tracks too though, 1000 Hands and Big Bad Wolf are bangers and should've been included in the deluxe.

    It's great to hear the best vocalists Dinah, Ally and Lauren sing more.

    No Way, Squeeze and Dope are definitely my favourites other than the ones mentioned above. But the rest of the tracks can't be ignored either, the album in its entirety is amazing.    … Expand

    There's just one song that is regular or good (No way). But the whole album is **** literally because isn't made by them, they did'nt write or produce so bad.

    One might say they're manufactured. And with a good reason: they co-wrote only one song of the entire album. However, the vocals are well divided here, even if Camila gets the most solo parts (and that bothers some) and they can go from sassy and audacious to vulnerable and emotional, as well female empowering ambassadors.

What really bothers here is that they don't have a defined sound, which is a reflex of their too mixed public. How can a group with 5 vocalists depend on male rappers to increase their mainstream success? For now at least it's working pretty well. But they need to take charge of their own career and define their sound if they want to stay around as a group in the long-run. Write On me, Not That Kinda Girl and That's My Girl are the highlights here.… Expand

    Álbum cheio de fillers, única coisa boa foi a divisão vocal delas que ficou mil vezes melhor que no Reflection. Mas fora isso... Chega num momento do álbum que você torce pra acabar logo de tanta música chata. Horrível!

    Sounds very rushed. Not much diversity. All of the songs sound the same and end the same except for one, No Way. Not a well put together album. Listen to Dangerous Woman if you want a great album... Too rushed.

Não sei em relação ao fenômeno natural, mas em relação ao mundo da música essa afirmação é bastante falsa. Esse é o caso da girl band Fifth Harmony e o segundo álbum delas, o mediano 7/27.

    Depois de conseguirem sair do limbo quase certo com o sucesso surpresa do single Worth It e, por isso, obterem bons frutos com o álbum de estreia delas, o Fifth Harmony repetiram o mesmo caminho para o lançamento do novo trabalho: 7/27 foi impulsionado pelo sucesso de Work from Home. Além disso, elas repetem a mesma qualidade questionável no álbum, apesar de entregar novos erros. 7/27 é uma coleção de canções pop clichês que tiram o pouco da personalidade que as jovens mostraram no álbum anterior que puxava para um R&B urbano/pop. Dessa vez, a produção escolheu envernizar a girl band com o mais massificado do pop atual, adicionando eletropop farofa, baladas bregas, a presença nada criativa de rappers e a influência do hip hop para criar a atmosfera radiofônica de algumas faixas. O pior, na verdade, não são as escolhas dos gêneros, mas a maneira preguiçosa e massificada de como a produção trabalha nas faixas como Write On Me, I Lied, Scared of Happy e Squeeze. Entretanto, o pior não é a produção de 7/27, mas, sim, as composições pobres e rasas das faixas, apesar de algumas funcionarem no quesito de criar refrões grudentos. Não que isso ajude a qualidade geral melhorar, pois o nível é constrangedor. O que salva 7/27 de não ser uma verdadeira bomba atômica é o fato das cinco integrantes mostrarem algum talento vocal com a ajuda de uma produção vocal decente e a presença de alguns faixas interessantes como Not That Kinda Girl com a presença marcante da Missy Elliott, as boas No Way e Big Bad Wolf presentes nas versões especiais e, claro, o single Work from Home. Até quando o Fifth Harmony terá a sorte de repetir o mesmo esquema de sucesso? Ou o grupo irá encontrar uma nova maneira de ter sucesso?    … Expand

    What did i listen to? Total disappointment and it deserves to flop really badly. Along with Thank You and that Charlie Puth album, 3 of the worst albums of the decade in the same year. Well done manufactured pop stars with no substantial talent. Keep shaking your bum and make money, otherwise you won't do much better than that.

    Não gostei nem um pouco de 7/27. As faixas são quase em sua totalidade genéricas e parecem a mesma coisa. Eu fiquei até confuso, pois tudo parece tão igual que ás vezes eu não conseguia distinguir as músicas. Enfim, 1000 Hands e Work From Home (sim) salvaram o álbum. Dope, Squeezy e No Way são medianas também.

    Fifth Harmony has done it yet again. Reflection was an amazing album and now they released 7/27 and it is so freaking good. It is honestly their best album so far - it has an entirely new sound and it fits them so well. You can hear all of the girls in the songs. Really good job, girls.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The critiques lobbed against Fifth Harmony's "7/27" are all very fair. Even at its "worst" the songs are still complete pop perfection. In all honesty there were only two skippable tracks, and the rest, even the ones that come off as "chasing trends" are still tons of fun. Yes, it's true that the album kind of lacks any recognizable identity but for so many girl groups their identity was "girl power" and songs like "That's My Girl" and "Not That Kind of Girl" fit that to a tee. "Dope" might be the track that stands out the most. Mellow in the best way, and it embodies everything I like about this group and this album in general.

    The album is a great maturation away from the slight cheesiness that plagued "Reflection" but at it's core it's still captures the youthful spirit of the group. They did not compromise their maturity for a younger audience like some other groups and artists have done in the past. It's a great summer album, and it's ridiculously loaded with potential hits.    … Expand

    With less generic melodies, but following the commercial pattern and with compositions in more detail. 7/27 demonstrates the girl-band's greatest ripening, highlights in grandiose vocals and the pleasant evolution of sound makes the album a strong point.
