    Tomlinson’s songwriting skills are shown at it’s finest in this thought provoking and emotional album, which addresses lost, love and self-acceptance. Furthermore, the singer’s vocals are mesmerizing and fit perfectly in the music style approached in his debut album.

    One of the most amazing album I have heard in a while. His songs bring out the vulnerability and emotions in a beautiful manner. Just love everything about it. Each and every song portrays his emotions and makes us relate to the music in a real way. Give it a listen everyone

    I can feel all the feeling, dedication, love and pain in this album. Knowing about the things he went through, all the obstacles and difficulties... it is simply beautiful and gratifying to see him with such a beautiful project with so much content and emotion. The lyrics can convey exactly what we need to feel. An incredible work by an incredible artist and for sure my favorite album ever.

    It's so beautiful, with a heartening ballad for his mum that despite its grave themes promotes healing rather than lingering on the grief. Louis' voice shows all its different nuances, adding falsetto to its impressive range in the songs Defenceless and Only The Brave.

Louis' voice shows all its different nuances, adding falsetto to its impressive range in the songs Defenceless and Only The Brave. Though Always You was added out of respect for his fans, it's a beautiful echo of the pop songs that made One Direction so popular: they're pop without being too overproduced. In that same vein, we find Perfect Now, reminiscient of What Makes You Beautiful and Little Things, promoting self love in a soft tone. Kill My Mind begins the album, an amazing brit pop rock anthem that has you dancing in the seat, no matter where you listen to it. It's the only one of its kind which makes it stand out that much more. Title track Walls, an ode to Louis' idols in Oasis, the Gallaghers, is beautiful in its lyrics and music alike - live strings are featured and they add an amazing, ethereal sound to the already beautiful song.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Walls is an album that makes me believe in Louis Tomlinson's potential over especially two things: 1. Songwriting, what was already expected that he would offer good lyrics, since he was the one who composed the most lyrics for the band One Direction — I would be disappointed if it were different and 2. Developing new alternative music without being generic, and I do not mean just about lyrics; I mean about the ballad style, the deep rhythm and the way the music is presented. The song presents itself.

    Looking at the choices that Louis and his label took, although, I do not know if I like this stage of "musical genre transition" — it is most probably that I do not like — much less the choice to bring a song like ‘Perfect Now’, which he himself agrees to be the daughter of One Direction’s discography, I can compare that to 'Little Things' myself. Decent lyrics, but this is the only compliment it deserves. Singles decision was just as unpleasant as ‘Perfect Now’ presence in ‘Walls’.

    Starting with my favorites of the album, track 11 is the song that was made, apparently unintentionally, to be everyone's favorite. The lyrics are just incredibly charming, without a doubt, Louis builds many moments of excessive vulnerability and feelings overflowing, as in the bridge passage 'I hope that I'm not asking too much / Just wanna be loved by you'. You can say that ‘Defenceless’, track 11, was made to be almost a love poem 'Acting like you feel no pain, you know I know you do / And I can't get inside when you're lost in your pride’. It impresses and surprises even for being the penultimate music of the album, ‘Defenceless’ brings to it listeners sensational equalizations and clean high notes. Flawless arrangement in the chorus. Nice drums & echoes. I am willing to say without hesitation that the (apparent) ‘interlude’ of the album is one of my favorite songs on it so far. 'It's the church of burnt romances / And I'm too far gone to pray' and 'Darling, you feel / Like there ain't enough dying stars in your sky / It's a tall tale' are both totally memorable parts of it. Sounds very poetic and I just loved it. I had first been told it was not a Louis Tomlinson's composition, until the album was finally released and then it was discovered he co-wrote the song as well. It is the track 12, called ‘Only The Brave’ very short and objective, but lyrically good and deep plus pleasant sound. I am not saying it is worth having a part 2, but it indeed is.

    I must point out that the track 12, 'Only The Brave', or kind of interlude of the album, lyrically lost its first place only because of 'Fearless', track 9, existence. Indisputable. 'Now if happiness is always measured / By the life you design, that car on the drive / Then you should feel better than ever / But you know as well as I, it's all lies'? Louis Tomlinson knows how to touch the hearts of his listeners, I cannot believe this guy is a ex-boyband.

    ‘Habit’, track 7, surprised me in a very good way! The lyrics are just pleasant and the sonority is honestly incredible and quite alternative, I think one of the songs of Walls who most left POP behind. A lot of electric guitars. 'Too Young', track 5, is honestly nothing new, but I have to say it is delightful. A very ‘sweet’ sound. ‘Always You’, track 8, does not really match the sound of the album at all, but it is a decent song. Very pop. Kind of what we like to play on radios.

    The singles are acceptable, some not so incredible. 'Kill My Mind', track 1, will be a hit on his tour, it reminds me a little of Arctic Monkeys songs. ‘Walls’, track 6, is simply good. If you like Oasis, then you like ‘Walls’. ‘Two of us’, track 3, is indisputably Louis' best song, the most honest one as well. And the most painful. Being a mourning song, I do not know how to rate it, but it is breathtaking.

    Louis Tomlinson is amazing and I hope the academy can see that. A lot of potential kind of hidden over those years. I am curious about the next projects he is willing to give us.    … Expand

    Walls is a full emotional and honest album highly influenced by indie pop/rock artists like Oasis, The Fray, The Script, Sam Fender and with some One Direction's last album vibes. It's lirically amazing, showing off Louis' songwriting skills, specially in songs like Two Of Us and Only The Brave, and even though the guitar lead predominates in almost all the album, it doesn't annoys.

    I've waited 4 long years for this album and honestly this is everything I've dreamed of! Louis' voice is something that needs to be more appreciated, his talent is something out of this world. He writes with his heart, I love that he puts so much love in everything he does, he deserves to be at the top! This is just the beginning. I'm so proud of him!!

    The debut album "Walls" by Louis Tomlinson, is perfect, he talks about growing up, the loss of a loved one, love and that you don't have to let anything break your heart, and move on after a tragedy.

    THE BEST F*CKING ALBUM OF THE TIMES PLS STREAM WALLS BY LOUIS TOMLINSON AKA OUR GOD

    Fans waited years for Louis' album, and he delivered what he claimed to be an honest album. And you can feel his honesty, especially in songs like Two of us (a beautiful and heartbreaking, but hopeful, ode to his beloved mother, Johanna), Only the brave (the song that closes the album and talks about being bold in a world that harshly tries to confine you), Too young and Don't Let It BreakFans waited years for Louis' album, and he delivered what he claimed to be an honest album. And you can feel his honesty, especially in songs like Two of us (a beautiful and heartbreaking, but hopeful, ode to his beloved mother, Johanna), Only the brave (the song that closes the album and talks about being bold in a world that harshly tries to confine you), Too young and Don't Let It Break Your Heart.
    The whole album is pretty much cheerful and bops like Always you (a song that talks about traveling the world but finding home in one person) with an enthusiastic chorus, the kind of song that you can dance to in your room at night, or in a party surrounded by friends), Don't Let It Break Your Heart and Defenceless set the tone, almost as if Louis is saying "hey, this feeling is bothering and upsetting me, so I'm gonna talk about this and it's gonna be okay". His feelings are too real and the listeners are able to relate to the point of thinking "yeah, you know what? It will be okay".
    The song that entitles the album is a soft melody with a soft lyric leaded by a powerful vocal that has cleared developed and improved throughout the years. Owner of a remarkable voice, his voice is not afraid to reveal the world his feelings, and that's a gift for both Louis and his fans.
    Perhaps the only song, despite of liking it, that I would argue against is Perfect Now. In a world that male point of view regarding the way women are and view themselves are growing more and more obsolete, Perfect Now perhaps will sound a little bit out of date, but it's lovely anyway, especially if you know that Louis has 5 sisters and young fans who might have struggled with self image.
    And speaking once again of the fans, the single We Made It is for them, as Louis himself has claimed in interviews. However, We Made It might as well be about Louis too. Despite of all his personal struggles, all of the harsh critics he received during his 1D days about his voice and the way he is, about not standing out in the band, not getting the credit he deserved, and the difficult prospect of his solo career, he still managed to put out an outstanding album. It also speaks to fans and, more important, includes them, something rare nowadays. Louis considers his fans as being one of his biggest supporters and he knows he's not alone in this journey.
    Overall, the album is really good and honest; an album to cry, to laugh, to smile and to reminisce to. It's not a rollercoaster of emotions, instead, it's an album that does a pretty good job in following a concept and balances its emotions. Hopefully this is only the beginning for Louis Tomlinson. He deserves it. Enjoy it, Louis!    … Expand

    Try as he may, Tomlinson has not quite progressed from featured voice to solo artist. For all the major changes in his life, his music seems to be stuck in place. You can take the boy out of the boyband, but not the boyband out of the boy.

    Solo debuts with this much expectation are incredible challenges. While “Walls” isn’t a craven ripoff or an attempt to recapture One Direction highs, it’s not yet clear exactly who Tomlinson is without them.

    Even if the songs on Walls aren't the most distinct or memorable, they come from a place of authenticity that's genuinely heartwarming and enjoyable. Like any other settled adult, he's perfectly content to stick to the reliable and Walls winds up being the most mature and natural of the ex-1D bunch.
