    Very disappointing. Unfortunately didn’t enjoy it at all. No distinctive sound, bad songwriting and overall boring.

    It is awesome
    Most of the songs will make you dance But there are few ones that will make you cry, such as "All I want (for Christmas)"

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. No proper promotions before the album released. Though he has the voice and visual, but the lyrics ain't it. The music is not that diverse and appealing. Worst debut album so far from the 1D.… Expand

    Pessimo, musica totalmente genérica e previsível. Nada de novo e se escuto essa musica na radio, nao vou conseguir diferenciar se eh charlie puth ou justin bieber de tao artificial. Se nao fosse suficiente falar apenas de sexo, ainda sexualiza mulheres bissexuais. Esse album é pra alguma campanha de site porno?

    Si mezclas canciones pop básicas con un poquito de misoginia y otro poquito de fetichización de las chicas bisexuales tienes LP1

    It's full of bops and the most amazing lyrics, Liam really showed his vocals and it has the best early 2000's RnB feel to it, it's an album for good times

    I listened to it after I read a horrible review because I wanted to see what I think. I regret that decision. The lyrics are terrible, most songs sound the same. Some are alright I guess but overall it's boring, unoriginal and makes no sense.

    havent listened to it, but i dont need to listen to know its complete ass. instead of supporting this flavorless, biphopic, misogynist, pug-looking groomer, stan harry styles and stream fine line for clear skin and brain cells

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve been a fan of Liam for nearly 10 years now. He is exceptional with a great voice, stage presence and song writing abilities. However I felt that the album was let down and that he could have done a lot better than this. His vocals on the album were strong but the lyrics were poor and at times offensively bad. It was disappointing that he wrote so few of the songs when he wrote a very amount of One Direction sounds along with his old bandmate Louis, he wrote the most songs. I hope that next time he writes more songs and releases songs that mean something and are personal to him. It’s not a bad album but it’s not a good one either.… Expand

    Basic letters, more of the same. Does not change and does not seek to innovate.

    Liam has a beautiful voice, but his songs are more of the same, formula ready. Sexualizing bisexuals was not a good move. Improve.

    I expected sooo much from him, given his talent to songwriting and a his beautiful voice, that he showed off in 1d, but i was so disappointed to find out that he is yet another basic musician that sings about women like they’re objects and sexualises bisexuality. Could barely listen to it till the end. Liam, you can do soo much better

Maybe next time he should try doing something actually honest and original bc I know for a fact that he must have some talent to him. And maybe next time he shouldn’t name it LP2 , because even the title of the album is already boring and that’s not a very good start.… Expand

    Music is something to enjoy, immerse yourself into and cherish, and unfortunately this album does not accomplish any of those things.

With superficial and bland lyrics to computer generated beats, at first look, this album looks as if it’s been created by an amateur lyricist and producer, you wouldn’t think this album has been made by someone who’s been in the music industry for a decade and one of the most influential pop boy bands of the 2010s. This hyper-sexualised, lacklustre album appeals to the minority of music listeners, with lyrics that insinuate bisexual women are made for the male gaze, with majority of the songs portraying women as being an object only of sexual desire. This album, although obviously made for superficial radio music even misses the mark on that one.… Expand

    nothing special about this album. in fact it **** bisexuals and talks about doing someone's arse in the backseat of his car. it’s cheap and sad that it took him two years to produce this half assed record. it just seems like liam is only talking about superficial surface level things. if he wants his next record to do well he should get an ego check and maybe dig a little deeper withinnothing special about this album. in fact it **** bisexuals and talks about doing someone's arse in the backseat of his car. it’s cheap and sad that it took him two years to produce this half assed record. it just seems like liam is only talking about superficial surface level things. if he wants his next record to do well he should get an ego check and maybe dig a little deeper within himself to actually come up with something of meaning. maybe he’ll only be known for being a former member of one direction.… Expand

    this album is trash. I used to love Liam in 1D and thought he was one of the most talented in the group, but this album has proven that he has no originality in his song writing capabilities. his lacklustre production and underwhelming melodies make it boring, as well as his super offensive and degrading lyrics round out this album to being an actual dumpster fire. listened to it once, andthis album is trash.

    I mean... it’s simply not good. Lyrically bland pop overkill. It completely lacks any compelling perspective, story, or meaning behind his boring or otherwise misogynistic auto-tuned lyrics. Liam, put some real emotion into the next one. For the love of all things holy

    Not very original. The writing is way too week and there’s no emotion or anything to lure in the people.

    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.
