Jun 7, 2017Halsey keeps on producing great alternative music, however hopeless fountain kingdom just does not meet the standards of BADLANDS. Nevertheless BADLANDS was a very good album. Ashley, you've done yourself proud.
-
Jun 7, 2017Badlands was great, HFK is the best album in 2017 so far. every song marries each other and the story told im the album is beautiful. all the tracks were well produced and so was the features.

Sep 1, 2019best tracks: bad at love, walls could talk, 100 letters, heaven in hiding,.

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.
-
Jun 7, 2017Halsey follows a very promising path, though BadLands is better in my opinion, yet it follows at a very nice pace. The most prominent track of this album is Doubtless Don't Play.
-
Jun 7, 2017This album is unique and totally different than 'badlands' which is a very good point for Halsey.
The concept behind this album is also super nice and good, -
Jun 7, 2017Depois de roubar o conceito da Sky pro Badlands, Mc Halsinha consegue aqui, sozinha, entregar um álbum coeso, harmonioso e descente. É bom, mas só bom mesmo. Os feats poderiam se mais ambiciosos, mas estão na média. Meu namorado disse que a voz dela combina com a da Lauren.

Jun 8, 2017This album has great sound, lyrics that bring the listener closer to the artist and a versatility of musical styles, I loved it a lot, deserves a higher average, Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is a bible.
-
Jun 8, 2017Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is a different album from his first album, Badlands. Halsey hit the ante by betting on an older pop and managed to keep him current.
-
Jun 8, 2017This album is masterpiece, i'm speechless. I think it's way better than badlands. She saved 20-17 definitely. I love her **** so much, there are a lot of favorites, i can't even choose.

Nov 1, 2017No 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.
-
Jun 9, 2017Terrible 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
-
Jun 7, 2017Badlands 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.

Aug 13, 2017While I prefer her first album, this one still stands above most of the other generic pop albums out there (although it's still on the generic side). I liked most of the songs on the album. They offered decent lyrics and rhythms, making for some pretty good alternative pop. If you're a big fan of Badlands, you might be disappointed but it's still worth a listen for sure.
-
Jun 8, 2017I like this album much more than Badlands! Fresh sounds and nice lyrics. My favorite ones are Eyes Closed, Sorry and Devil In Me. The story the album tells is very good.
-
Jun 8, 2017I just love all the songs but I still don't understand the concept though I feel like it's messy. And there is one or two fillers in my opinion but the other songs are so good and different from each other that they make up for it.
-
Jun 9, 2017YES THIS'S ALBUM OF THE YEAR AND I DON'T EVEN ****ING LIKE HER. َ

Apr 8, 2018no podria decidir entre cual album es mejor, este o su album debut. ambos muy buenos

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 29, 2017HFK is one of those rare gems where the tracks get better as the album progresses. The weakness? Well the only one is that unfortunately anyone could be singing, as Halsey's voice is not distinct or unique enough on this album to merit it to be memorable. Download: Lie, Strangers, Hopeless.

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 11, 2017Halsey does not disappoint about what one wants to get through. A totally worked album. A part Visual is one of the great differentials of the album! Congratulations Halsey!

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.
