    A basic and boring album. Lyrics and substance could be better. Same themes and topics throughout the whole album make it unlistenable

    Terrible. A compilation of songs for Spotify playlists. His voice is beautiful but the rest.... He could do so much better but based on this any release from him in the future is a no from me.

    Didn’t think it would be this bad. He has no originality. Waste of talent.

    If I could give this a -10 I would. This album is absolutely horrible, he just shoved his entire discography on one album without any care and the songs aren't even good either. One of the songs both ways is biphobic as hell, and heart meet break is autotuned so badly that my ears almost started to bleed. This must be why he's so desperate to get One Direction back together...yikes

    He relies on inane songwriting concepts, rote misogyny, and feelingless flexing. The lyrics are puerile and half-baked.

    Spread over 17 songs that tick off genres with all the flair of an automated Spotify playlist, Payne’s anonymity remains the album’s default through line. Occasionally painful yet weirdly Payne-less.

    Ultimately, a few things come from repeated listenings of “LP1″: First off, the writing and singing aren’t strong enough and come across as C-level Timberlake material. Two, without being surrounded by 1D, he shouldn’t sing high, flightily and airily, but rather stick to slow, low groovers. Three, Payno should find one or two styles that work best for him — and not put a host of other singers before him, male or female — and stick to them.
