    Such a downgrade from Purpose!! Yummy is one of his worst singles. He took 4 years to come out with this album, could’ve done much better

    i used to be a huge Justin Bieber fan, but the Justin portrayed on this album isn’t the same Justin I grew up with and loved. He seems uninspired; all of the songs on this album sound like songs that he rejected in the past. They all sound the same.

    Gross. Recycling generic trap beats is just not acceptable for an artist with a 13-year-old career, especially in 2020. The whole record is extremely juvenile and only highlights his desperation for money. No artistic growth whatsoever. In his place i would’ve been embarrassed of releasing something like this.

    Yummy, intentions and come around be are definitely the worst songs on the album. The best are available, habitual, ETA and that's what love is. I'm very confused why Justin considers this rnb, this is mostly pop with only a few songs having rnb influence.

    Many fandoms have raided the ratings not just on metacritic but on itunes aswell. Anyways, this isnt a terrible album and some of y'all gotta stop pretending its awful when its not.    … Expand

    There is no heart and it is a very disconnected album. Everything sounds the same. Everything on this album is a repeat of the previous tracks! I have some praises for the album: Only Forever seems to be an ok track. But Mr. Bieber needs to work with some other producers if he really wants to continue dominating the pop world WITH good music. He can do way better.

The lyrics are terribly shallow and the production is extremely simple, this sucks and is pretty boring. The biggest issue about the album is that he tries to recreate the same pop song over and over again. The beats are awful and the songs have absolutely no meaning or heart. I wasted 30 minutes of my life listening to that album so at least I'm going to write my review. I wasn't expecting anything but I'm still disappointed by the album. It's basic and nothing special the writer isn’t saying anything important, now talking about his voice another 50 artists can replace it, no high or low notes just a key that everyone can sing on and follow. All the songs sound like they were written in five minutes by a group of bored 15-year-old guys playing FIFA while eating chips. The songs about sex and jacking off are disgusting, I'm not going to talk about them. After 4 years the writer is in the same place or in one way worse than the previous one. But in my opinion, the real reason why this album is flopping is that the new generation is expecting fun rap and pop and things that make them excited like reggaeton or trap. Young people are finally starting to reject this writer's music and seeing that this isn't 2012 anymore. Every time a song of this artist doesn't become popular the label makes remixes, lyrics videos, emoji videos, rap, trap, and pop versions to save the song from dying. They pay people to stream and play advertisements everywhere, tell people that they'll win rewards if they stream, proving how unfair they make this business for other artists. The power isn't completely in the people anymore just in the label that pays more and buys more people. The lead single of this album didn't got the number one even by the fact that they used all of these illegal streaming ways and that proves how bad the song is. No one will remember this album exists in 4 months, it has absolutely no good reason to exist. We need music to cry with, to love, to jump, to dance, to laugh, to create memories with, that's what this generation needs and that's why we don't need Justin Bieber anymore. If you aren't going to do it right then don't do it. The album is officially unnecessary and irrelevant. It doesn't impact and no one would mind if it had never been released in the first place.… Expand
