    Best music I've heared since Lorde in 2013. It's fresh, weird, beautiful, witty, simple, complex, a true masterpiece. Love it.

It’s the most intelligent pop album since Melodrama (from which it takes many cues) and flows effortlessly, balancing its dark, industrial vibe (i.e. “see me in a crown”) with a dreamy, California coffeehouse vibe (i.e. “8”). It’s strange and humorous, tongue-in-cheek and sincere, menacing and beautiful; it’s an anti-pop masterpiece.

    Original Review: It took me two full listens, but ultimately this album really impressed me. It’s a potpourri of atmospheres: part horror film, part coffeehouse, part indie version of Britney Spears’ dark-pop masterpiece Blackout (some of the Halloween-esque production is reminiscent of Nate Hills’ work with Britney in 2007); it’s an honest, intimate work that’s unnerving, humorous, and raw. If Sigrid was the sunnier version of Pure Heroine, Billie’s debut is its darker underbelly. Highlights include the opening track, the Office-referencing “strange addiction,” the haunting “bury a friend,” and the stunningly beautiful “listen before I go.”

    A jaw-dropping debut album by one of pop music's most enticing new superstar. Billie and Finneas work wonders throughout the tight tracklist. "Bad Guy" and "i love you" demonstrate personality and talent with ease.

    WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? is anti-pop material that covers multiple genres & tells different stories. Following the footsteps of Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, & Lorde, Billie Eilish proves that music doesn't always have to be the conventional generic Billboard-charting sound. She is a disruptive force to be reckoned with.

    Billie was one of the few artists that got me just on the first album. She brought such a snap of the dark but the light at the end and her sweet and soft voice of the will to listen, over and over again. This is good in an album because it does not bring fatigue and power to stop listening. Sensational.

    Despite using some of the same techniques in different songs, Billie Eilish extends her range of emotions further, apart away from the darkness, and conveying more than a 'cool girl' symbol, and rather human.

    Billie and Finneas did a great job. This debut, better than the EP, definitely shows her personality, sonically and lyrically. She has already found her distinct sound at the age of 17. Her voice is beautiful, the idea is cool, and the production is insane. The visuals are also very good. Although some of the tracks are not my favorite, they have the potential to grow on me.

    Personal Rating:
    !!!!!!:(not gonna give a score but it's not a song. It's fun but I don't think it's necessary here. She can simply use Bad Guy as the intro)
    bad guy: 10/10(the beginning is crazy, the production throughout the song is wonderful especially in the chorus. The last part is unexpected but it spices the track up. Single worthy.)
    xanny:9.5/10(When I first listened to song, I hate it due to the excessive distortion. However, I soon realized that it's because the quality of the headphone I was using. It sounds much better on a better headphone.)
    you should see me in a crown: 9/10 (I didn't enjoy that until the album releases, now it sounds good)
    all the good girls go to hell: 9/10 (not a big fan of the sound but the idea is cool)
    wish you were gay: 10/10 (a huge grower)
    when the party's over: 9.5/10(beautiful sound but feels flat somehow)
    8: 8.5/10(sonically not my favorite but the title is fun)
    my strange addiction: 9.5/10(the verse is really promising!! When Billie teases the song I was really excited, but the chorus is not that good for me)
    bury a friend: 10/10(intriguing theme and production)
    ilomilo: 9.5/10(the connection between bury a friend is interesting, the track is good)
    listen before i go: 10/10(really good ballad)
    i love you: 9.5/10
    goodbye: 9.5/10(the lyrics are from other tracks, which is so interesting!)

    I couldn't agree more for user srtafozex's comment about all those "Billie is only 17 years old and comes with 'When We All Fall Asleep', a dark pop. It reminds me of Lorde's 'Pure Heroine', who at the time was also 17 years old. Both of them knew how to produce an album beautifully."

You'll see a sort of humorous side to her in the smash hit "Bad Guy", feel compassion in "Xanny", feel dominance in "You Should See Me In a Crown", the emotions in "When the Party's Over", and might even make you cry in "I Love You".
    This album as a whole is not just an album, it's an experience; and I highly recommend you listen to it. Billie takes you on this journey that will leave you captivated from start to finish and it's a real triumphant body of work.

    in all honesty this is one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. its an emotional roller coaster from start to finish and it actually tells a story. its a very coherent album as well because from the start it has a specific feel but as you go through the tracks the story keeps going and the feel of the album changes as well. love this album, will never get enough of it.

    One of the best albums of the decade for sure. This album's hauntingly playful compositional depth and engaging lyricism set it apart from its contemporaries and many of its predecessors.

    The lyrical depth of every track begs for our engagement. It has the magnetism that keeps you in your car before going into the grocery store, listening to track over track, teasing out all the levels
    One of the best albums of the decade for sure. This album's hauntingly playful compositional depth and engaging lyricism set it apart from its contemporaries and many of its predecessors.

    The lyrical depth of every track begs for our engagement. It has the magnetism that keeps you in your car before going into the grocery store, listening to track over track, teasing out all the levels of meaning in each stanza. All the while, you are trying to wrap your head around the idea that a 17 year and her older brother wrote, performed and recorded this album in her bedroom! The music elucidates truths people in their 40s have yet to discover.

    The lyrics grab us, but the acoustical complexity and wholly original arrangements keep us in that car. The arrangements feature melodic beats, samples from The Office and crosswalk beepers and Billie's laughter, all perfectly orchestrated together with Billie's beautiful vocals and expressive intonation.

    There isn't a single bad track on the album. Putting this album on repeat is a truly great way to spend an afternoon.

    Es algo totalmente diferente a lo que estábamos acostumbrados, es un nuevo aire para la música con una voz y estilo musical muy característicos. Su futuro parece prometedor esperemos se mantenga con este nivel musical,

    Um dos meus álbuns favoritos. Billie Eilish e seu irmão, Finneas, criaram um álbum consistente e muito diversificado - você pode rir com "bad guy", dançar com "my strange addiction", sentir medo com "bury a friend" e se afogar em suas próprias lágrimas com, provavelmente, a faixa mais triste do álbum: "listen before i go".

    I love this album, the vocals and production are unlike anything you would ever expect to hear on a mainstream pop record. The songwriting is great and the album has a variety from bops such as bad guy to ballads like when the party's over. Every track is obviously different but it's still a cohesive body of work. Love it! aoty for a reason

    When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? is a startlingly good introduction to Billie Eilish, an album full of attitude but with the talent to back it up. Where she goes from here will be fascinating to see.

    The 17-year-old sensation takes pop iconography and musical status quo and lacerates it, opting out of femme fatale for tomboy cargos and goth macabre, and sleek soundscapes for creepy eccentrics.

    This surprising, haunting album will speak powerfully both to her peers and to anyone who remembers how youth can sometimes feel like an overwhelming weight. [Jun 2019, p.110]
