    Yungblud is fun, catchy, and very accessible, offering punk spirit without ever being truly dangerous or too explicit.

    Harrison has a knack for narrative and a snagging vocal that lifts potential mediocrity of this vibe into a warmer and more engaging experience. He’s at his best at his most British, when he channels the conversational intimacy of The Streets’ Mike Skinner.

    His most confident, cohesive album.
  4. The Telegraph (UK)

    The songs are catchy, the emotions are sincere, and it is all driven by an intense desire to connect. But somehow Yungblud always sounds as if he’s trying too hard.

    This may be billed as his serious opus, but clearly growing up is boring.

    Opener The Funeral presents a far less cartoonish performer than he was on 2020's overly-cute second album Weird!. This alone makes the whole thing magnitudes more enjoyable. The energised electro-pop of Memories (a duet with WILLOW) and the brooding Sex Not Violence continue on a similar tack, showing a width of creative goalpost while actually keeping things together.

    On Yungblud, Harrison leans almost exclusively into saccharine pop-rock, making this his most monotonous and least distinctive record.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "YUNGBLUD" is YUNGBLUD’s most cohesive album, in every aspect. The singer said that YB3 is his most personal record til this day and the listeners can really feel it. Harrison has evolved from the "21st Century Liability" rage and the "Weird!" optimism in the best way. His immersive songwriting makes you imagine vividly the situations he describes in the tracks. Absolute banger!

    "Yungblud" the album by Yungblud is lackluster and only about 2 1/2 songs I liked. It gets really blurry from the middle to the end ; that the tracks are just melding together with no thrill. There is a quite literally a couple of impactful lyrics in the end. It's an album I do not fancy on listening too in the future but the songs I did enjoy was
