    É muito bom para um segundo álbum, a pegada eletrônica é ótima, porém se prendeu em uma bolha.

    Eu gosto muito do álbum, porém acho que tem alguns fillers no meio que eu posso pular tranquilamente... os singles foram bem escolhidos.

    La única que resalta Vocal mente en este álbum es camila cabello, las otras viejas cantaron horrible ahora que camila es solista es mejor que estos álbumes horrendos

    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. I see they've achieved what they wanted, and something bigger could come.

    Músicas incríveis, com vocais surpreendentes, alguns detalhes da produção poderiam ser melhores , mas é um álbum bem consistente.

    The album has a lot of good songs but also a lot of bad songs, I think it does not work very well to be heard in the album format even though it's not so cohesive and so much generic music makes it look like a collection of Miley Cyrus hits.

    These girls are great, and this album is even bigger. The album has some defects that must be corrected to have a certain reach, the generics and repetitive songs a little tired we have some songs that make you shiver with each touch. They are to be congratulated.

    For a hair Fifth Harmony manages to overcome and make a little better album that not only reflects its essence but it makes us enjoy each of its songs, all without mentioning its wonderful cover.

    After good dance album "Reflection' album '7/27' was a little too disappointing.

    I think this album is very well produced and done. I mean, there are many different music influences but at the same time there is strong cohesion in the album.

I still think that Camila is the worst singer of the group and she still has too many solos, but the parts are given in a better way than Reflection!… Expand

    This is Fifth Harmony at their best. It is about time we have a new R&B girl group that do not follow the typical mainstream manufactured girl group pattern.

    Músicas para todos os gostos, nada de genérico como alguns @ insistem em dizer, ritmos para alegrar, para te deixar "na bad", para te acalmar, para te reanimar de novo... Elas estão indo muito bem! Espero que o próximo venha ainda melhor que este e atinga um 80 no metacritic!

    7/27 É cheio de girl power em faixas muito atraentes para que gosta de uma bela batida para as pistas de dança. Boas parcerias dentre elas Ty Dollar é a que mais se destaca com o lead single "Work From Home"

    Quem disse que o raio não cai no mesmo lugar duas vezes? 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.

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 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.

    These girls are killing it aren't they? I mean really their hit "Work From Home" is a smash hit and "All In My Head (Flex)" seems to be heading in that direction also. I definitely think this is a great album and it for sure deserves a "10" from me! All of their hits are great and they for sure deserve a 10 for their effort this year.

    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 only thing I didn't like about the album was that it was so short. 10 songs isn't a lot for a popAlbum full of bops. This album is incredible.

    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.

    Oh my God, speechless. I'm so freaking proud of this girls, this album is totally amazing, I can relate to each song in a different level and I just love it. Gonna Get Better is probably my favorite song of 2016 so far. Thanking God those girls are there slaying everyday. ♥

    While this album may show a new image for Fifth Harmony, it is definitely not as enticing or exciting as their previous effort, and there is definitely still room to grow.

    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.
