    He has made the most anodyne and bland pop album possible.

    The lack of honesty doesn’t really matter--nobody’s going to Sheeran for gritty soul-searching. But the lack of imagination does.

    Too Generic. Except ''Shape of You'' whole album kind of sounds the same. Lacks vastness. Stands no where near ''STARBOY'' by The Weeknd orToo Generic.

    Awful album. It seems fame has gone to his head and I have already returned the album and got a refund. Never again will I buy another recordAwful album. It seems fame has gone to his head and I have already returned the album and got a refund. Never again will I buy another record of his. Ever. The problem with him, is that he is too arrogant and arrogance is the worst human trait. Secondly the album itself is nothing original. He's just catering to the popular audience now. Avoid this album unless you want to hassle for a refund. The. End. Full Review »
