Nov 2, 2021Kinda missed Ed Sheeran here... Although the album has some good moments too.

Oct 29, 2021Good effort but it still feels lazy from Sheeran, doesn't he want to do better? Maybe he is not able to - after so many bland albums...
-
Oct 31, 2021Just decent. However, like any Ed Sheeran's album, it contains boring and same/similar patterns of music.
-
Oct 29, 2021The bar is already set too low. Even in this way, Ed Sheeran's new album cannot reach it.
-
Oct 30, 2021Bad Habits y Shivers fueron buenas canciones, pero el resto es tan intrascendente que no vale la pena dedicarle tiempo.

Nov 3, 2021Undeniably well put together and polished to a mirror shine, Sheeran's latest will certainly please diehard fans but sticks so aggressively to the singer's safe, established formula of trite acoustic balladry and anodyne electropop numbers that it's otherwise unlikely to leave much of a lasting impact, with every song present here having already been done far better at least once before.

Nov 4, 2021The album is good but I don't feel the same essence that Ed gave us with his sounds and lyrics in previous musical works.

Nov 4, 2021Here, Sheeran's melodies are soft yet insistent, and the production glistens with flair borrowed from younger, hipper artists who mine a similar blend of retro new wave and modern R&B, but he knows how to turn this stylish sound into something cozy and reassuring.

Nov 2, 2021He’s settled into the comfort zone of songs that will haunt weddings for years to come, like “2step,” in which he raps about “Two-steppin’ with the woman I love.” Even at his most passionate, Sheeran sounds as threatening as a meringue peak. ... Sheeran’s reliance on clichés is especially unfortunate during the album’s back half, which is where he placed a majority of the songs about death and fatherhood.
