    I think it's an excellent debut album. It expresses exactly what many of us can feel in a difficult time, from a loving failure, to the loss of an important person. His music also teaches us to be brave, and get ahead despite the "walls" that life puts us. Good lyrics and rhythm.

    I absolutely loved it, very enchanting real and raw album!! The sound in this album is something no one else is doing we should definitely bring back the pop rock punk rock sound back!!!! I can’t believe It’s his debut album and his music already is so good, the lyrics are amazing and thoughtful I just can’t wait to see what else Louis comes up with in the future.

    The album as a whole is incredible! So well done, the background music is catchy but not like you would expect them to and the lyrics just touch you in a way you can't describe. Gonna be streaming it today for sure

    4 long years waiting for the debut album of Louis Tomlinson, and I dare to say that they were totally worth it. Walls is a tremendous work of art, just listen to how liberated it feels to be able to sing the way you like it. It represents a great process and growth both in your career and in yourself. I loved it.

    The depth, vulnerability and honesty I've heard in the lyrics of this album are of a calibre I haven't experiene in a long long time ! You can cleary see where he gets his inspiration from and also how original is the twist he puts into them. Hope people can start apretiating him more outside of what he used to be part of

Louis' new music has an indie-pop vibe that has catchy tunes while giving you a calming feel rather than the more hyped up pop songs thats commonly played on the radio. The lyrics also feel very honest and real and relatable, making you feel alot when you listen to thw album. Defo give it a chance and take a listen ! Expand

    This album has so much truth and feeling. This is incredible, a mix of Indie and Pop, also sad and Happy. I think that Louis Tomlinson deserves this and Walls deserves #1 on the world charts! This boy impressd me, it's an excellent debut album, congrats.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This may be the best album so far from all the members of that band. Louis Tomlinson always has a knack for making you feel in a certain way and the lyrics didn’t disappoint me at all. Especially in Defenceless when he is so raw and passionate about letting his guard down. Expand

    Didn’t think a past 1D member would release an album like this. Looks like he is mixing up pop and oasis kind of vibe which i loved very much. Walls and Only The Brave won me over.

    This album is a masterpiece. All songs are very deep and full of emotions that tell a story behind the lyrics. The songs have a melody very enjoyable that makes you want to relax and lay down thinking about your life and your own feelings. This album is a incredible example of overcoming and faith.

    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.
