    No talent was presented in this piece at any point. It is a disgrace to the music industry. I do not recommend this album to anyone with more than one brain cell.

    Terrible album. This poor girl should just gave up on music. It's like the same song is being played on an infinite loop, every single song it's the same. Seriously what does people have on their heads to think this utter **** is anyhow good? lmaooo

    Badlands was a excellent album, however it seems Ashley has tried something new, however it didn't quite fit in as there were a lot of fillers in this album, short tracks and a feature with Quavo on the track 'Lie' which wasn't really pleasant.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vaya pedazo de mierd*, toda una perdida de tiempo. Lo peor es que lo etiqueta como música alternativa cuando en realidad es el pop más genérico y desesperado por sonar en la radio.… Expand

    I tried to listen to this album, mainly because blogs all over the internet seem to have an infatuation with "Halsey." However, I fail to see what is fascinating about this music. Everything just seemed so dull and unmelodic, as in I couldn't distinguish one song from another. I guess this girl is all about image and not so much substance, only that image is that she portrays herself asI tried to listen to this album, mainly because blogs all over the internet seem to have an infatuation with "Halsey."

    It is sooooo bad! Her voice is very annoying. Why do people like that album? I don’t see that.

    Hopeless Fountain Kingdom as a whole feels quintessentially 2017 in how it jumbles styles and sentiment, streamlining a teeming, contradictory culture into something smooth, glassy and easy to digest.

    2017 has had better pop records surely, but hearing Halsey grow as an artist is a uniquely rewarding experience that makes the album’s faults more forgivable and its successes more thrilling.

    It’s not remotely bad; it certainly sounds just like one of the most hotly awaited pop albums of 2017. But you can discern, just off stage, the chorus of unignorable industry types bearing down on one bankable creative, advising this timely collaboration, that hot producer, this set of references.
