    The album is full of beautifully composed songs, the live instrumentals are delightful to listen to and his voice evolved in such a level that shows his growth from the boy on the back vocals in One Direction. The way Louis paid attention carefully to every melody in this work was amazing.

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. i have to say it, this album really surprised me, i'm really not a big fan of pop music, but the diversity of the songs, the way he worked in all those lyrics and the instruments on the back, i can say its just brilliant, his voice in some high notes its something unexpected for a ex one direction member, but one song in particular surprised me the most, walls its just something so different from the rest, and this particular song its one of my favorites right now, cause you really feel something different listening to this song, now i know why this man have so many fans, with this album he really deserve this, the fans are not all crazy… Expand

    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 most honest and clean album i've heard! the lyrics and all the little details louis added make the album really a comfortable way to be honest with yourself, to think about love, friends and of course yourself. it feels like louis is actually talking in front of you w this lyrics.

    A great album in a few words, it has the vibes of British pop, very nostalgic, it reminds me of the golden age of music.

    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.

    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.
