    This is pop excellence. Justin Bieber changed the game with this album. He was influencing the entire top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 and after hits like "What Do You Mean", "Where Are ü Now", "Sorry" and "Love Yourself" dropped. Arguably the Prince Of Pop. The album was cohesive,catchy, and well written. It is his best body of work to date.

    Justin brought this deep, intimate album. The ripening of it incredible and enormous, a more sonic and productive side and partnerships. Skrillex in his production and Justin's compositions become huge songs.

    Justin Bieber got tired of being the teenager who turned crazy girls and dared to make a more mature album and achieved it, in fact, achievement more than that.

    Purpose is not downright awful. Unlike many pop records, it tries to say something profound, and it mostly works on "Show You" and the title track. "Life" and "Children" don't really hit the target; the earlier tries too hard and the latter just comes across as fake. The rest of the album has very little lyrical originality, but the music is fun. The only songs that really don't sound goodPurpose is not downright awful.

There songs have terrible lyrics, boring and/or generic music, and extremely underwhelming guest performances.

    "Mean," "Where?" "Children," "Show You," and even "Sorry" and "Love Yourself" have fun, fresh, enjoyable music. The music is fun; not terribly original, but still enjoyable. I really do like Justin's effort at sincerity on the title track; it comes across as honest and heartfelt.

    Purpose suffers from a few terrible songs and generally-bad lyrics, but it has some lyrical integrity and plenty of fun music. It is nowhere near close to great, but it's definitely not the worst pop album. It's a 6.5.    … Expand

    Three years after "Believe", Bieber returns with a studio album: The ball of the time, it's "Purpose."

    It is undoubtedly the most "personal" album of the singer, showing personality, and the maturing of the artist to a certain extent.

    With 18 tracks - which is a lot - Justin sins at various times. Her voice is disgusted in certain dogs. A version of Bieber seeks a redemption with "Mark My Words," but fails miserably, a song and cloying, USA, the synthesizers in the worst possible way, and seems to have no end. Be the best known: With "I'll Show You", "What do you mean?" And "Love Yourself", Justin finally shows quality. They are three hits and they are improving every time.

    Already with "Company" and "No Pressure", or disk walks to another road. The first, consistency, and temptation is a great song very balanced. In the second, Big Sean stands out for the quality refrain, and the great participation of the American rapper.

    In "The Feeling," Skrillex's finger on the track is good, yields for quite a while, although at some point, but the duo "Bieber-Halsey" is good, they marry and the sound goes against the quality of both.

    The duet "Life is Worth Living" and "Where They Are Now" do not let the CD level drop, but it also does not raise the plateau. In the first, a song becomes a great ballad with the touch of the piano, it is delicious if it seems, do not miss anything else. Already in the collaborative track with a double "Jack U" - that was present without disc of the double released in February of 2015 - is a "modern ballad" with a voice of Bieber. It was not news to anyone, and it is dance from beginning to end.

    In "Children", Bieber really goes overboard: It abuses and spends of the electronics and for that, it ended up taking some of the quality of the song, becoming practically a gigantic EDM. With "Purpose" (a track), a track in which Justin more attempt to "confess", ends up going unnoticed. It is melodic, sensitive, and end of it, Bieber discurses.

    The album Purpose, as well as a work of art by the Canadian singer. Justin has matured for a while, shows creativity, shows creativity and shows that he knows how to innovate when he has to. The album contains minor flaws that seriously hurt, but it's also faithful, clear and conscious. Justin Bieber has been evolving more and more.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album deserves a higher score by the critics, especially by the users.
    I have a feeling these 200 negative reviews giving this album 0 or 1 are either trolls or fans from some other artist that dislike Justin Bieber either One Direction or Selena Gomez, it's almost like they had a deal to rate this album so badly because there's absolutely no way such a good album has such ridiculous reviews!
    Not only is this Bieber's highest selling album by far,which scored him 3 #1 singles as well,but people truly liked it,I remember reading previews on Apple Music and Spotify, even older folks loved it!
    This album changed a lot of people's opinion on Justin Bieber as an artist,these user reviews are 100% manipulated.
    Personally I liked the vibe and the sound,very original sounds and improvisations from Justin and his producers, I want to point out songs like ''No Sese'', ''No Pressure'' and ''Children'' as one of the best songs from Bieber's career, all three could've been hit singles but since he already gave us 3 bangers it's alright. I want to add the song ''Company'' also surprised me as well as the songs ''Hit The Ground'' & ''Been You'' from his Deluxe version which I bought! To this day this is Justin's best work,his voice sounds a lot more mature, especially on his song ''Mark My Words'' he sings with some incredibly improved falsetto, Lyrics are pretty good even though I would appreciate less love songs and break up themed ones but they're still good.
    As a 25 year old dude who always gives a chance to younger artists I'm pretty impressed with Purpose, if Justin Bieber can do even better than this, well then, bring it on!    … Expand

O álbum tem o propósito (tradução do seu título) de apresentar um artista antes de um mero produto. Bieber que conheceu a fama muito cedo e teve o sucesso sempre aliado a falta de privacidade e dificuldade de crescer com ela, tem letras que relatam essa sua “tristeza” de ser rico, bem sucedido, mas sem oportunidades de ter crescido como um jovem comum. O que não faltam são ocasiões para se lembrar de quantas vezes Justin já se envolveu em confusões públicas, desde pichações, agressões e até cusparada em fãs.
    A primeira faixa apresentada ao público, um ano antes do álbum, “Where Are Ü Now” um trap house, já demonstrava o caminho e ambição que o Bieber tinha em seguir e apresentava uma reinvenção sonora e o primeiro momento, desde então, que ele apresentava um trabalho com uma proposta inovadora e longe do pop genérico e plástico. A confiança em Diplo e Skrillex, que transformaram e conduziram “Purpose” tanto na mudança sonora quanto na maturidade do artista não foi coloca à toa, em vista que o álbum foi um sucesso instantâneo: mais de 500 mil cópias vendidas na primeira semana, hits número #1 como “What Do You Mean?”, “Sorry” e “Love Yourself” e facilmente limparam qualquer nuvem negra passada do artista que já tinha chegado até em falar sobre se aposentar, ainda tão jovem.
    O comeback traz também sobre seus relacionados (leia-se Selena Gomez) e uma das faixas que mais chamaram atenção foi a co-escrita por Ed Sheeran (mestre em letras desse tipo), a já citada “Love Yourself”.
    “Purpose” sofre deslizes, mas é sem dúvidas um capítulo novo dentro da carreira do artista que agora consegue imprimir personalidade, lançar tendências sonoras (tropical house) e conquistar os ouvintes que sempre torceram o nariz para o seu repertório.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O que eu mais amo no Purpose é que o Justin não abandonou o R&B, como eu achei que ele faria depois do Journals. Todos sabem, ou deveriam saber, que a gravadora não apoia o Justin no R&B porque vende menos que o Pop. Enfim, minhas músicas favoritas são: All In It, We Are, No Pressure, No Sense e Trust. TODAS R&Bs. A ''zona de conforto'' do Justin é o R&B, onde você que a voz dele está completamente mais relaxada e livre para usar notas mais altas e os falsetos -os maravilhosos falsetos. Me sinto orgulhosa de ser belieber, me sinto orgulhosa desse novo propósito do Justin. Quando estava ouvindo o álbum e Mark My Words começou a tocar, eu tava tipo: ''vamos lá Justin, cadê a batida? Cadê?'' e então a música acabou e eu confesso que fiquei decepcionada, então I'll Show You surgiu e trouxe TODAS as batidas de que eu estava sentindo falta. Ou seja, o álbum se completa e se encaixa perfeitamente, você sente que as músicas são bastantes conectadas e que elas têm um sentimento muito forte entre si. Você percebe a conexão quando o R&B lento e poderoso de No Pressure acaba e começa o MARAVILHOSO e gracioso Hip-Hop com um pouco de trap music -por que não?- No Sense. E o album acaba com com o riff de All In It, é como se ele tivesse dito tudo o que tinha pra dizer, o seu propósito e tals... e quando AIT começa você já sente a 'despedida'. Na verdade, não foi despedida pra mim porque eu repeti umas 500x KKKKKKKKKKK. Aprendi o album inteiro em 1 semana. Então... e agora tá vendendo 5M WW. QUE ORGULHO JUSTIN!… Expand

And you guys haven't even realized it, or did you? I guess you haven't been able to escape from him in 2015/2016, and I gotta tell you these songs will be still playing in the upcoming years. This album contains "Where Are Ü Now" (which itself already won a Grammy), "What Do You Mean" (straight #1 debut, a trendsetter), "Sorry" (excessively streamed song and of course #1, probably gonna end up as #2 song of the year 2016) and "Love Yourself" (complete masterpiece, the #1 song of the year and totally deserved). "Love Yourself" needs to win Grammy for Song of the year, Record of the year and Best Pop Solo performance, or that ceremony would be just a farce. Are you really going to tell me there was a better song this year? "Purpose" is mandatory to be nominated for Album of the year.
    Even with all the bad attention on him and the negative press, he still managed to take it all in and prove everybody wrong. But not only that, his music was so powerful that there is no other artist on the world bigger than him right now. And I gotta tell you, I think is harder to do it that way that he did not blew the chance he was given. Or I would honestly say, there is no other artist this year whose songs I have enjoyed more, sincerely he is the number 1. Yes, he has the #1 and #2 biggest songs of the year, when has this happened before? I don't know, I guess you were witnessing an unprecedented feat here and you'll only find out at the end of the year. "Mark my words"
    And all those ideas and concepts for the mentioned songs inspire and make this album, all the life tribulations and staged comeback contribute to make musical history here! All that blown out of proportion fame of his finally make real impact, This is what is all about. Come on, are you missing this?

He also captures the sound of pop music in 2015 quite well (or at least his producers do), but at times this also makes the music sound pretty generic. Even some of the better songs, like Sorry, get old really quickly because they're full of the same musical ideas that are constantly being played on the radio. Now, the thing that really bugs me about so many of these songs (or perhaps Bieber in general), is the squeaky-clean persona he tries to put forth. His lyrics are often so incredibly cheesy and ridiculous that they can turn a decent song into a cringeworthy nightmare. Case in point, the spoken word outro of the title track. It's the most incoherent, insipid nonsense I've heard in a while, and the fact that he throws religion into it to make himself seem wholesome or whatever makes it even more annoying. I'm not sure why he's so insistent on acting so goody-goody all the time. It's weird, and not convincing at all. Anyway, this album is overall pretty average, and thankfully there are a few good songs that save it from being completely awful. But it's definitely not enough to win me over as a Belieber.

I calculated the readability of each f these and concluded that “Baby” has a readability of ages 7-8, which is strange as it was apparently aimed at girls aged 10-15. But what’s more interesting is that is newer song, “Love Yourself”, which is supposed to be a more mature, deep meaning song, gave us a readability of 6-7! That’s right, the teen heartthrob is still very much a teen, even though Love Yourself was released five years after Biebers debut song when he was only fifteen. His so called growth into adulthood is mis-lead, unfortunately. I’m not saying his songs are of any less quality, but they certainly aren’t more sophisticated.… Expand

    A great album with personal songs. Justin Bieber knows how to make catchy pop ballads and deep slow songs. He's garnered many hits from this album for a reason.

    Música comercial muy mal hecha, cabe aclarar que hay que música comercial muy bien hecha y que es muy buena pero este no es el caso. Como siempre con este artista líricas muy pobres y simples, y ni se diga de la música, es muy básica. La producción es muy buena, y es lo único que se salva de este disco. es sorprendente como es que este disco tuvo tanto es éxito, la verdad da vergüenza.

    Its a good album. I'm a 21 year old guy who has never actually clicked with JB's tunes in the past AT ALL, and to be honest, this album is really, really great. The production includes electro, trap and synth beats, and this album contains some great features like Nas, Travis Scott, Big Sean and Skrillex. Lyrically, it is decent, and his voice really goes well on the production.

    This album is amazing and shows a great departure from Justin's old tunes which weren't bad either. He has been best at what he does and he still continues to do that. Funny how hypocritical fans of 1D gave his album a negative review without even listening to the songs.

    Forced and pretentious, this is not Justin Bieber music. He has at least 5 writers on each song, and that doesn't justify the tragic, cliché lyrics. Love Yourself needs too much the person who wrote it, Ed Sheeran, and Justin just won't fill that expectation. An album with too many tracks to be cohesive that tries to appeal to a more general public.

    Mark My Words is the only song here that has actual innovation or inventiveness. The rest of the album is by-the-numbers, although Justin does give songs like Love Yourself or Purpose soul that most of this generation's pop music severely lacks. The production, if nothing new, is nice to the ears too.

    Not a very big JB fan but this album was average. Sorry and Love Yourself are some good songs but the album overall did not satisfy me. Believe was much better. Maybe he should have had more relevant features?
    Probably a collab with Selena which got leaked? That song was good. Or another collab with Nicki Minaj, maybe Beauty and a Beat 2.0
    I think he should just stick with normal pop music.

    Purpose é, provavelmente, um dos piores álbuns que eu já ouvi. Mediano ao extremo. Existe apenas três músicas boas nesse álbum, o resto... excluo sem pena. Justin Bieber tem talento, mas o pop genérico dele não me agrada.

    With "Purpose" Justin Bieber achieves the purpose of raising a more mature audience and put down once and for all their place in the music. Despite the recent problems that have gotten himself into, and a new album that falls into the cliché of the apology, Bieber shows his artistic side, professional and with great skills as a lyricist. Definitely with "Purpose" Justin Bieber deserves a chance

    Least Favourite Songs: No Pressure (feat. Big Sean), Children, Purpose, Love Yourself
    I never thought I would listen to a whole Justin Bieber album but he seems to be getting more respected so even though the albums cover art is a pretentious bag of bollocks I felt like I should give the actual music a chance. Plus, I had enjoyed a few of the singles that had dropped prior to the album release so I wanted to see if he had anything else to offer me. So did he? Well the short answer is no. So first off, his voice is still whiney as **** and it really grinds down on me over the length of the album. You don't even have to get past track 1 before you hear some high-pitched oo-oo's. It's not even just his voice that annoys me it's the stupid swag present in his delivery- most notably on 'Where Are Ü Now' when he says the title of the song but puts an emphasis on each word. I don't really want to go into the lyrics, they haven't really changed much in any way, but I do want to talk about the production on this thing because it is very inviting. There's a lot of solid electronic beats on here and some very catchy beats as well but as a whole it's just too laid back. It becomes very boring and one dimensional extremely quickly. The features are **** and they were predictably **** (Big Sean, Halsey and Travis Scott who I actually like but one of the biggest reasons for me loving his music is the production he picks and his hooks but all he did on here was a verse which is literally the worst thing you could get him to do.) The singles off the album have catchy beats and choruses but overall it's just a really plain album.

    This was my first Bieber album listened carefully and I'm really disappointed. Most songs are flat, monotonous and just boring. However, 'Sorry', 'What Do You Mean' and 'Company' (which I hope will be released as next single) are quite catchy and they improved my final score for this album. No, it's not too late to say sorry for not living up to my expectations with this album, Mr. Bieber.

Definitely (see Madonna: Confessions on the Dancefloor, where every song basically had the same template) but Beiber did a poor job of making an album that sounded cohesive, even when working with tracks that sounded the same.

    After being a joke for so long, Bieber did something right with his music and released a really freaking good and chill album. It was such a surprise to hear this album and actually really dig it.

    It’s when Bieber’s honesty feels less-than-honest and the tracks feel less-than-groundbreaking that this album falls short of the heights it should by all means be capable of reaching.

    It's full of motivational Bieb-talk about the realness of the Bieb-struggle.

    You can’t hear The Feeling in his voice, which is still one of the most infectiously beautiful in the industry, because as his faith has saved him from his pain, his production team has saved his voice from Justin. It makes for a series of unbeatable mainstream and crossover singles, and a desensitized, unnerving album.
