Sep 14, 2019This album was rushed and it shows. It's very weak compared to Badlands and the production is not good. Her songwriting is great as usual, although it sounds like a collection of demos rather than a full album. With more polish this album could have been great.

Oct 6, 2018Went into this album wanting to live for it, but I was sadly let down pretty early on. There's honestly something I can't take and generic "fake deep" lyrics behind even faker instrumentals are a turn off for me, followed by Halsey's less than vocal performance that makes Selena Gomez or her other contemporaries look as if they are vocal powerhouses such as Celine Dion. "Alone" is cute though.

Jun 7, 2017Quando a Halsey primeiro lançou seu debut, Badlands, todo mundo ficou surpreso e animado para ver algo mais. O problema nasceu no HFK, que ficou com músicas boas, mas esquecíveis.

Jun 10, 2017Mais conceitual, pseudo-romantico do que "BADLANDS". Hopeless Fountain Kingdom é algo que não passa do conceito e do pseudo-romantismo da Halsey, apesar de ter um apanhado de faixas bem produzidas, e bem escritas.
Faixas recomendadas: Eyes Closed, Strangers Featuring Lauren Jauregui -
Aug 15, 2017This music was way too contrived, formulaic, and ordinary for its pop-style goal, and although each song was nicely concise and had purpose within them, musical experimentation and guts were sadly at a minimum. My Score: 97/180 (Deficient) =5.4/10

Jun 7, 2017I really liked "Badlands" back then, because it has some kind of unique style. However, in "Hopeless Fountain Kingdom" there are literally many unique styles. Too many. Every song has got different vibe, so the album is basically filled up with some random songs. BUT. The instrumental of every song is very good and in like four songs, I would say that the instrumental is perfect.

Jul 26, 2018'hopeless fountain kingdom' is a disappointingly plain and fame-seeking album for its singles. Although the singles "Now Or Never" and "Bad At Love" are powerful, other than this there is absolutely nothing special, spectacular, or worth mentioning about this album.
Strongest Tracks: "Now Or Never", "Bad At Love", "Devil In Me"
Weakest Track(s): "100 Letters" -
Feb 2, 2022I like this album, it has a every well-made production and the songs are catchy, but this only happened with half of the them, the rest were kinda boring. I feel like if she had made all the songs with a sound similar to "bad at love", "now or never, or "strangers" this album would've been amazing, because even the short tracks sound good, but then we have some that are just dull.

Jun 15, 2017Hopeless 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.

Jun 14, 20172017 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.

Jun 7, 2017It’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.
