    Listening to this album is truly an out-of-this-world experience; it is a beautiful and soulful collection of lyrically and sonically brilliant pieces that are truly cohesive and make me honestly want to dance and cry at the same time. Listening to the songs live is even better. A beautiful Christmas gift as well. Harry outdid himself with this one!

    I am not in the targeted audience (I would assume) and this album is absolutely phenomenal! It is so diverse and sounds straight out of the 60’s! It also sounds perfect for today’s pop music; Harry Styles is innovating today’s culture.

    THIS ALBUM IS AMAZING!!!! It’s so refreshing to have an amazing artist who makes music he wants to and not just to get to the top of the charts or on the radio! Pop music sucks these days but Harry Styles knows what he’s doing!!! Falling, To Be So Lonely, and Fine Line are the best songs on the album but be prepared for some emotions!!! Amazing 10/10 LOVE Harry freaking Styles

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's honestly such a good album, an emotional ride from start to finish. Musically it's extremely varied, with hints to 70's rock, folk, blues and a mixture of other genres, lyrically it's raw and honest in a way that makes you fall in love and feel the heartbreak and the joy and every emotion Harry tried to portray. Even if some songs feel like a faux pas when listening to them singularly (Treat People With Kindness for example, with a "Sister Act" vibe to it, or Watermelon Sugar, more pop-oriented and with very simple lyrics) if you listen to the album from top to bottom they make complete sense, fitting into one another to form a creative piece of musical storytelling.

    Fine Line is easily one of the greatest new albums of the decade. Each song tells a story and yet anyone can relate to the feelings within them. His songwriting skills are excellently displayed while he pulls in vibes similar to that of Fleetwood Mac, Bon Iver, Pink Floyd, and The Beatles while remaining authentically himself. Incredible!!!!

    Free of the shackles that hobbled his debut, Styles manages to show more of his personality here, especially on the Vampire Weekend-style Sunflower, Vol. 6. It's just a shame he can't quite keep up with his ambition. [Feb 2020, p.110]

    Fine Line is entirely inoffensive, but it’s also open-ended, and maybe those questions are the reward. Maybe Harry Styles just wants to keep us guessing.

    Fine Line proves that the musician has absorbed the best lesson passed down by California’s great musicians: Don’t be afraid to take chances within a folk- or pop-rock framework, as that’s how you create iconoclastic music that endures.
