    número #1 no meu coração sem dúvidas. Elas mostraram amadurecimento além de ser um album super coeso. As músicas são ótimas e todo o conjunto é maravilhosos.

    The production/vocal engineering is a biT off on some of the songs but it's not the girls fault that Epic give them 0 budget. Talented, brilliant, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not been done before.

    Fantastic album, definitely their best to date. Easily eclipses 7/27 and Reflection in terms of songwriting and production quality. The vocals are full of personality and the lyrics are mature and well-written. Highlights: Don't Say You Love Me, Lonely Night, Deliver

    The storytelling not only is better than in the other two albums, but it also EXISTS now. There is a relationship that starts to fail and go all the way down.

    The harmonies are on point and they don't sound disjointed at all. Dinah, Ally and Normani have a bigger participation now, and it's something to put our eyes on.

    Good job, ladies.

    Songs like Bridges or Don't say you love me are so beautiful and with a really deep lyrics.
    They also brought us powerful melodies like He like that, lonely night or even sauced up.
    They only thing i regret is the fact that they didn't do this earlier.    … Expand

    The girls of Fifth Harmony weren't wrong when they said this album is going to be a true body of work and their best one yet. It is a short but a solid pop album. There is not one song that sounds out of place or bad!

    The flow of songs deserves a special mention especially the flow from Lonely Night (track 6) to Angel (track 8) deserves a standing ovation. The album doesn't have a lot of big producers behind it (except a few) yet it offers us a great mix of songs with incredible production.

    It is not unknown that these girls are talented and own incredible vocals, but this album shows us an elevated side of their vocal abilities. They sound more like a group (not that they didn't before but it's more harmonious now). I am so glad they fought for the group and got the creative control over this album. Not only did they co-wrote more than half of the songs but sat with producers and suggested ideas. After everything they have been through, I never thought we will get to see this side of theirs - the happy and creative. They have proved their point and are here to stay. I am so proud of them.

    This project is better than their previous work by miles. Fifth Harmony, no doubt, is one of the best pop albums released this year so far. Congratulations girls!    … Expand

    VERY different from their past albums. I can hear everyone sing this time. This is the first time where I'm not desperate to skip a song. It took me a while to accept "Down" when it first released but it definitely has a place in this album.

    Amazing pop album mixed urban sounds and hints or R&B
    Great vocals; all of their voices are showcased beautifully, you get to appreciate their range and tones individually and also how well they blend as a group with all the amazing harmonies.
    Incredible production.
    Mature lyrics.
    Their best album to date by FAR.

    *inserts meme WE HAVE DECIDED TO STAN FOREVER* Not only their most cohesive album but also the one where we can clearly hear all of them in every track. The sound is so different and I wish Fifth Harmony was like this since day one. This album truly deserves every piece of compliment and recognition. Congratulations, I even have the pleasure to listen to the songs this time. An album of RESPECT!

    Best album of their career with mature lyrics, incredible and creative melodies and amazing vocals. My favorite song are Don´t say you love me, Lonely night (very creative melody) and Bridges.

    Their best album, hands down. Lots of harmonies, as well as written lyrics. This is not just another one of their albums, it's something far from different. Please make sure to support them by buying the album.

    I was worried at first on what the album would sound like. This is due to Down being an underwhelming single (not saying its bad, but it wasn't their best).

Every single song just completely blew my mind, from the production of the songs to the lyrics, the album is one of the best I've ever heard.

    Here are some of the standouts:

    Sauced Up: club-worthy, party-worthy, it's a feel good kind of song and it's that kind of song where you'll end up singing along to with everybody

    Deliver: Everything about this song is perfection, their vocals matched up perfectly, Dinah Jane definitely stole the show

    Lonely Night: Once again, Dinah stole the show here. But everybody else did amazing also. It's like there's 3 different songs in one

    Don't Say You Love Me: If you love Gonna Get Better from 7/27, then this is for you. The lyrics are beautiful and well-written, and their vocals are powerful and you can hear their vulnerability when they are singing. This is definitely a fan-favorite

    Angel: Love. It. Grown 5H in the house.

    Bridges: The message of the song is beautiful and it's what needed to be said right now. Vocals - A+

    Overall, the album showcased their true talents and their strengths with the choices of music they made. This is just the beginning for the ladies, and hope for Fifth Harmony part 2 kind of album in the future.    … Expand

    FABULOSO, contiene mezclas maduras. Esta vez no se enfocaron tanto en realizar pop y dar un ambiente pesado, si no más bien tiene sonidos ligeros y más pegajosos que lo usual, en general creo que es un grandioso álbum. Provoca escucharlo una y otra vez

    I gave this album a 10, and it truly deserves! I was blown away when I first heard it and it's been on repeat ever since. The melodies are fresh and catchy, which is a big change from their previous work. The production, the ad-libs, the use of actual instrument actually surprised me, I was not expecting this good of an album coming from them. Truly impressed!

    I have never really being into this group's music before except for a couple of songs but this album changed my opinion about them. I think they gave their most cohesive album and they got to show how much power and talent these girls have. It felt like they used to be the underdogs but this is really a proof they are talented enough to continue with the group and be very successful.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is an album that gave me all the feelings there are. This album transfers from a club vibe to a sad vibe, from an upbeat song to a ballad and there are some songs with important meanings, namely the song Bridges. The song has lyrics such as: ' We know love can conquer hate' and 'Because love's worth fighting for'. It is a song about equality, everyone is beautiful and we are stronger united.

    This album really shows the potential of each girl (Normani, Ally, Dinah and Lauren). You can hear them sing really low and other times hitting those high notes. In some songs, you can hear their voices get emotional and in others, you can hear them just 'having fun'.

    This album, so far, is the best album Fifth Harmony has brought to our daily life. No, I am not exaggerating. The songs on this album are co-written by the lovely girls, they even produced some sounds to a couple songs. These girls experimented with their ideas for this album and I would like to say that the girls succeeded in making a beautiful work of art.

    This album contains 10 songs, is co-written by Fifth Harmony and has already won a VMA.

    I really recommend this album to everyone who enjoys listening to meaningful lyrics, from upbeat to ballad songs, beautiful voices and wants to be part of the soon-to-be won Grammy.    … Expand

    Fifth Harmony's album is on another level because they had a chance to write on this album and didn't stick to pop-ish vibe but take risks to experiment their voices that they should do in their last 2 albums. This is the most cohesive album they've ever done. Well done!

    The majority of its ten tracks resemble either retreads of their former glories or listless attempts at Spotify-friendly R&B which rob them of any identity whatsoever.

    Fifth Harmony isn’t offensively bad, in fact, it sits quite comfortably with many other acts dominating the charts at the moment. But it’s too safe, too by-the-numbers, too beige to stand up to even Fifth Harmony’s previous work, which carried more lyrical and musical heft.
