    The album is incredible. I love so much his voice and the songs are so perfect. “Fearless”, “habit” and “always you” are so so beautiful. Everyone need to heard he sing Fearless at least one times. I really hope everyone enjoys as much as me.

    One of the most underrated albums I have ever listened to. We made it is my favorite, I like only the brave and two of us too, and of course I’m not forgetting always you and fearless. And I can’t wait for Louis’ second album, because I know for sure it would be a mind-blowing.

    Louis' debut album is a great example of a singer with ideas, who's scared to carry them out. I think it's painfully obvious Louis isn't comfortable with this best feature, his brilliant voice color. Not once is his voice worth of notice in this album and it's a shame.

    it's just amazing how he puts all his heart into songs like Two of Us for his mom and Habit for his fans. He clearly conveys beautiful messages in his songs, for sure whoever identifies will know how to appreciate this beautiful album! The writing is mature and has references that only those who follow him closely understand, and it's something beautiful to see. Incredible!

    The only song which I'm not a fan of is 'perfect now'
    Favourite songs are kill my mind, we made it, only the brave

    "Walls," demonstrates the strength and growth of Tomlinson, maturing past what he had written for his boy-band five years before. Instead of writing about how he wants to take a girl home, or dance with her all night, he plays with expressing his emotions in a more explanatory way, exploring his heart and to what extent that'll go to. It's truly good songwriting, luckily that doesn't mean"Walls," demonstrates the strength and growth of Tomlinson, maturing past what he had written for his boy-band five years before. Instead of writing about how he wants to take a girl home, or dance with her all night, he plays with expressing his emotions in a more explanatory way, exploring his heart and to what extent that'll go to. It's truly good songwriting, luckily that doesn't mean lyrics are contaminated with cliché metaphors. It's not something that would be put into a poetry book, but that's not what it needs to be.

    The issue I have with "Walls," is that it doesn't seem like five years were put into this album. Since One Direction wrapped up in 2015, to the release of this album in 2020, it seems like about ten percent of that time was put into this album. As well, each song has it's own catchy tune, but they all fall under the same category and lack range. Sure, it's good to have a cohesive album, but when it feels like Tomlinson is staying on his side of the court, afraid to test new waters, it's hard to like the album for what it is. After a few dozen listens, you kind of get the whole thing and don't want to listen again.

    When it comes to Tomlinson's voice, I've always admired the uniqueness of it. I found that critiques of his vocals were too conservative, as Tomlinson was able to completely shine when he found his sound as a solo artist. If you want to hear songs where his rich and raspy voice bring the songs to a whole new level in a way that no other artist could, I would recommend "Kill My Mind," "Fearless," or "Defenseless." However, some songs just didn't hit the mark. Especially, and surprisingly, the title track is one of those. Tomlinson is able to reach his high notes, but something about the sound in general makes this song almost unbearable. There isn't a song that doesn't belong on the album, but it still feels plain and gray, kind of like his album cover.

    I'm excited to see what Tomlinson does next.    … Expand

Personally, as I listen to it, I am 100% convinced that Louis turns his own memories into songs. And therefore the album has become a story only he is able to write. In a word, it's such an authentic and special album. I can't wait to see what will come next. Faith in the future!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. O álbum começa com uma letra e ritmo realmente ruins, "Kill my mind". Apesar de ser uma música ruim, com péssimos arranjos, acaba sendo uma das "melhores" do álbum. Sabendo que kill my mind é uma das "melhores" do álbum, tenha certeza que as próximas faixas tem bastante qualidade lol. A segunda faixa segue o mesmo modelo de Kill my mind, uma batida cansativa. O cantor usa a mesma base em quase todas as músicas do álbum, má escolha de Louis, pensando que é uma base ruim. Two of us, a terceira faixa, nos leva a um momento triste da vida do cantor, a morte de um ente querido. a letra é um destaque no álbum, uma letra sincera e emocional. O cantor de “Kill my mind” tinha tudo em mãos para trazer uma ótima música, mas estragou tudo ao seguir a mesma melodia das outras faixas. Tomlinson teria feito uma boa escolha se continuasse a melodia no início da música. Na quarta faixa, o cantor tenta desesperadamente trazer um novo “we are the champions”, infelizmente Tomlinson não tem o talento necessário para isso. A música é um terror, algo superficial e sem sentido. "Too young" é a quinta faixa do álbum. Nessa faixa, o cantor traz uma melodia mais suave, mudando o ritmo repetitivo das músicas anteriores. Uma boa escolha para Louis, mas como você pode ver, o cantor sempre estraga suas canções com uma má decisão. A má decisão desta vez? É a letra. Tomlinson canta o mesmo refrão ao longo da faixa, trazendo uma música monótona, que não sai do mesmo lugar.
    "Walls", a faixa que dá nome ao álbum, é uma decepção. Normalmente os artistas dão o nome do álbum para a melhor faixa, mas Louis nos traz um grande aviso com isso: ele não tem talento suficiente para trazer uma boa faixa-título, e um bom álbum de estreia. Simon Cowell, o que se passou em sua mente quando decidiu transformar esse garoto em um artista? Ninguém jamais responderá. “Habit”, essa faixa prova que Louis tem o hábito de fazer escolhas erradas em uma música, na verdade, no álbum todo. A oitava música, "Always you", nos leva a um lado diferente de Louis. Nessa música Louis mostra que pode ter talento, mas não o suficiente para mostrar algo perfeito para o público. A música prova que as únicas pessoas que ouvem o cantor, são seu nicho de fãs, que são alimentados por um casal fictício, de Tomlinson e Harry Styles. Deveria ser um crime acreditar que um artista no nível de Styles pudesse se relacionar com Louis. Nona e décima primeira faixas do álbum, vamos falar sobre elas juntos, porque é basicamente o mesmo conceito. Duas músicas que poderiam funcionar, mas aqui temos um grande problema. Desta vez, o problema é o cantor. O exagero dos efeitos e o auto tune na voz do cantor fazem com que as faixas se tornem um produto. Essas são boas canções, se a pessoa que estava cantando estivesse no seu nível de talento.
    “Perfect Now”, acredito que poderia passar por essa vida sem ter que ouvir essa música. A música falha em tudo, composição, batida, efeito na voz. Tomlinson falhou em mostrar um bom fator nessa música. Se preferir continuar com ouvidos, salve-se dessa música. "Only the brave" última música (felizmente para os ouvintes, infelizmente para Louis). A música é um skip. Fazendo uma música de menos de 2 minutos e acaba assim? Eu teria vergonha de me auto intitular "artista" e fazer uma música assim. Em seu álbum de estreia, Tomlinson prova a todos que não tinha talento para ser um artista solo. O cantor precisa de seus quatro companheiros de banda ao lado dele, para conseguir chamar a atenção do público, se escorando no talento de outras pessoas. É uma pena para o Louis, que veio de uma banda de sucesso, acabar assim. Como um fracasso.    … Expand

    O álbum de estreia do ex-One Direction é uma versão diluída de um disco do Oasis – uma xerox de um fax de um esboço do ‘Definitely Maybe’. O problema é que o álbum é profundamente banal. Ouvi-lo é como percorrer um atoleiro de banalidade.

    This wasn’t a surprise, Louis Tomlinson always haf the weakest voice on One Direction and wrote a few of their worst songs. Some artists just don’t work as solo artists... Forgettable lyrics, songs and just a forgettable artist overall.

    o Louis é um compositor incrível porém poderia ter trabalhado mais e pensado melhor em algumas coisas desse álbum

    To summarize in one word, Louis Tomlinson’s Walls is weak, it has uninspired lyrics that tarnish over 3/4 of it. Definitely not a fan of his vocals either.

    It's one of the best albums I've ever heard. I love it. Louis put so many feelings in this album, it is so personal and that's why I love it so much. And it sounds amazing. It deserves better.

    This album is remarkable for the sincere and poetry lyrics. The voice of the singer, Louis Tomlinson is the highlight. Without having to do a falsetto, he can reach notes no other male singer can, it is outrageous and beautiful in an indescriptible way and I hope to see more of this young man.

    This album is honest and beautiful, it has no skips and Louis' voice sounds amazing. It's mostly acoustic which sounds great, it's an amazing album and doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

    i mean it's not the worst album i've heard and i would give it a "4" but the zero is cause 9.2 is a joke. so here some facts
    (1) Louis can't sing. He does not have a different voice,he just can't sing.
    (2) He wants so hard to be cool that it's sad. (3) he says that he wants to be recognized as a good songwriter but this personal album has more than 30 songwriters ?

    Louis Tomlinson’s debut is a beautiful authentic record that shows a vulnerable and mature side of the man we used to know as a silly boy. The album has an indie rock vibe from the 90s & 00s with some Oasis inspiration. Louis has written an honest story about love, heartbreak, and self-care with strong lyrics & powerful soft vocals. Walls deserves all the best recognition.

    A commendable effort by Louis but the album falls short. Weak production and scratchy vocals can't be saved by Louis's adept songwriting.

    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.

    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

    "Walls" is the debut album by English singer Louis Tomlinson. And that is exactly what it is: a debut album. But is this really a debut? Tomlinson has been in the music scene for about ten years, he has had the enough budget and experience to make more than a correct album. So, is this forgivable?

Tomlinson has been in the music scene for about ten years, he has had the enough budget and experience to make more than a correct album. So, is this forgivable?
    Normally when any artist releases its first project, he is allowed to play around with some sounds but not too much. This is supposed to be your presentation letter and must not be very aggressive nor very calm. This is exactly what Tomlinson does in his first record: he sings the most pure pop songs with the help of a background band, little harmonies and a small inoffensive choir.
    Louis has left One Direction but is seems that One Direction hasn't left him. He still uses the band's album formula which mainly consists in recording basic pop songs with partner love as the principal theme .throughout the whole album since writing skills are limited to it. I didn't want to make any comparison with his ex-band companions projects but here I go. Luckily, "Walls" is not as chaotic as Liam Payne's first record (which I gladly consider one of the ten worst albums of 2019) but is far of reaching the charisma of Harry Styles' "Fine Line". Globally "Walls" is oriented on feelings and life. Tomlinson had in mind to write about his mother and sister travelling to heaven, his son etc and I understand the direction he has wanted to take, but I personally found that, musically, the album is very poor and banal. Emotions are not received in the same way if musically it doesn't emphasize the subject enough and it's a shame, because the artist has many things to let out. However I felt at several moments that I was listening to an unambitious, repetitive generic British pop record that we've already heard a million times; I felt like I was definitely listening to a debut album. The songs connect very well with each other but that's because they all sound sadly the same.
    He doesn't need to grow up musically right now but it would be great for the release of his next project since "Walls" is just a nice but decent debut album.    … 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.
