Jan 28, 2023At the same that is very beautiful to see Sam getting out the shelf, you would expect more from his 4th studio album. Overall, it's a mid-positive work.
-
Jan 29, 2023I can gladly say, this is quickly going down as one of the worst albums I've ever listened to. Sam Smith is utter garbage with no talent whatsoever. This is an easy 0 and Unholy is the worst song I've ever heard. Sam Smith is the worst along with Rod Wave.

Jan 30, 2023Beyoncé did the real Queer Renaissance, Sam Smith restored the Middle Ages sanctimoniousness. It was supposed to be the album of freedom, of hedonism, of queer expressiveness. It sounds like the chorus of Italy's most oppressive and bigoted Catholic church. Gragorian and medieval chants, I don't hear queer dance wonders.

Jan 30, 2023Gloria seems like the next stage for such a creative artist. Not like they reinvented the wheel but the vocals and mixing are amazing! A great mix of expected melodies and new dance pop for Sam Smith. Standouts like No God and INHTMF are going to go far. Congrats Sam on a beautiful piece of art !

Jan 28, 2023sam smith is an international threat to public safety. i would rather be waterboarded than sit through another listen of this album.
-
Jan 28, 2023Such a downgrade in quality from Love Goes. Not a fan of this at all :( I hope their next album is better
-
Jan 27, 2023Horrible portada, horribles canciones y un aún peor lead single repleto de payola. Este tipo va de mal en peor y no parece que vaya a mejorar jamás.

Jan 27, 2023His new music is so boring and he needs to stop, release music like before, 2014 was that year but then you tanked worst album of your career, sorry bro but that kim collab ruined the hype
-
Jan 27, 2023Sam supo pulir cada parte del álbum y eso hace que el álbum sea esencial e inusual

Feb 2, 2023This album is so bad please delete it, its all ca&rryed by unh0ly and they did only songs for tiktok, stream Diamonds & Dancefloors by Ava Max instead xoxo
-
Feb 2, 2023the album is repetitive and it becomes very boring and difficult to listen to, the sounds are not good
-
Jan 30, 2023Rather than a queer rebirth, a beacon for being oneself, it looks like the march for light to the beyond. Anything but Beyoncé's Renaissance, Sam Smith has produced a dark, heavy, and very hard album.
-
Jan 27, 2023Love it! Unapologetic, sensual lyrics and fantastic vocals as expected. Sam is inviting you to a gay/queer celebration and making it fun; it’s all about liberation.
-
Jan 27, 2023I loved the album,Honestly, I think that some songs lacked a vocal,But all in all, well produced and quite addictive.
-
Jan 27, 2023this is possibly their best album ever made, the sounds and voice take you to an 80’s gay disco
-
Jan 29, 2023Cons: -I don t like the lead singles gimme and unholy that much
-album Is too short
Pro:
-amazing vocals
-some songs are really good "no God" and "lose you" are my favoutite. The others are generally quite good. -
Feb 17, 2023I have been a fan of Sam since his first first album, honestly every album he puts out is better than the last, he is a very talented person and loves his work
-
Jan 30, 2023it's not that bad. I love this album. 'Love me more' and 'Hurting interlude' is quite touching. But actually 'unholy' is not that fitted in the whole album. Always like to see people being who they are. However, the length of album is really short. 13 songs only are about total 30 mins.
anyway, it's a good album to me. -

Feb 7, 2023his best album ... love it amazung voice and text ... bravo ... madterpiece
-
Feb 8, 2023Love unholy and gloria, love that they are in the same album, but unfortunately the other songs do not succeed to maintain a cohesion across the album. Good songs but I do not get the vibe.
-
Jun 8, 2023Safe to say this one of the worst Albums I have ever heard. This Album is just as musty as Sam Smith himself.
-
Feb 6, 2023I don't really have much to say about this. There are 3 okay-ish songs and that's about it, not forgetting to mention whatever the hell the songs "Gimme" and "Gloria" are supposed to be. It just doesn't work.

Feb 2, 2023Unholy doesn't belong on this album, all the other songs are throwback Sam Smith classics, but then we have the Ed Sheeran-duet Who We Love, and that unbearable GIMME.

Feb 19, 2023yallah etoh haramir shima nai allah it was such a chore to get through y'all have no idea
-
Jun 23, 2023The album is good to make you sleep, it is just really boring and makes every minute of it an eternity, it have some good songs but you loose the courage to hear that on the second one.

-
Feb 6, 2023sam smith has come together with a lot of artist and I truly think that "Unholy" is one of his best collabartaions. Good beats and lyrics

Feb 14, 2023This was a good album but unholy and gimme were completely out of place and just bad songs anyway the album was pretty good
-
Feb 19, 2023The album mixes the best of Sam Smith in tracks that go from classics of the artist like "No God", "Love Me More", "How To Cry" and "Perfect", to songs that appeared after "Promisses", like "I 'm Not Here To Make Friends" and the Pop Perfection "Lose You"
-
Mar 20, 2023A lot of negative reviews, and there shouldn't be. Sam delivered brilliant vocals and production as they do on every album, one of their best bodies of work.
-
Mar 21, 2023in my humble opinion this album is one of Sam's best. They figure out ways to blend happy pop songs with some sad topics in there as well. Even with all of these ups there are downs. Sam's voice is very... not great. and "Gimme" is awful in every way. and the production is not my favorite. But in the end i was pleasantly surprised by this album.
-
Aug 17, 2023Um álbum maravilhoso e cheio de sentimentos e dor. Sam tem uma voz lindíssima.
Awards & Rankings
-
Feb 28, 2023While by no means a bad record, Sam Smith’s Gloria is largely hit-or-miss.
-
Feb 10, 2023With songs that are both sacred and profane, with R&B and pop and disco and chorales, “Gloria” is all of that and more.
-
Feb 3, 2023It's largely unobtrusive and serviceable, distinguished mostly by Smith's elastic voice and increased specificity and complexity to the reflective and romantic songs.
