    Se puede ver claramente como Styles maduro en su segundo album mejorando sus letras y sonidos para crear un album realmente admirable

    Wonderful album with fantastic songs such as She and Sunflower Vol. 6. Tells a great story of a failed relationship and has no weak links (with the exception of Canyon Moon).

    Totally did not get the hype this album is recieving. Only liked half of the song on the album. Maybe he should've spent more time on this album cause it's not clear to me what he wanted to even convey.

    I hate that the top track is TPWK because that's honestly the only one song that i didn't like, i truly tried to make it grow on me but it didn't but honestly i feel like this one the only bad bone in this album, the rest of it was pretty great and it's totally a grower. He truly deserves the recognition he's getting.

    I can't overstate how much I love this album!

    It's original, yet is somehow nostalgic to 80s music. Lyrically it's honest and heartbreaking. The entire album tells a cohesive story and the songs fit together, yet they're not repetitive. There's pop, rock, folk, a show tune AND a piano ballad. The production is makes me want to dance every time and the vocals are just perfection. On first

On first listen I only liked 4-5 tracks but as I went back, I kept finding new favourites- and I think that's what makes a great album. You keep discovering new things on each listen hence you aren't bored. Honestly I think people will be listening to this one for years. I can't even pick a favourite song- I like Adore You, Lights Up, Cherry, Falling, Sunflower Vol 6 and Fine Line equally!

    a full length album full of emotions, one of the best albums of the year, the delicacy to create songs like Fine Line, Falling or Lights Up is incredible, Harry is one of the greatest male exponents today.
    final grade: 9.2

    Harry's vocals are truly outstanding and emotional, a strong point for this album. There seemed to be a clear concept as well. However, like many albums this year, many of the songs sounded incredibly similar to each other, the lyrics were also extremely similar from song to song, and the subject matter was really lacking.

However, like many albums this year, many of the songs sounded incredibly similar to each other, the lyrics were also extremely similar from song to song, and the subject matter was really lacking. The production on some tracks was unique and they tried new things but ultimately it was pretty messy. But production on other tracks like Cherry was smooth and pretty. This is another album that fell in the retro-alt category, but it failed to really stand out in any way. Expand

    Found myself singing along to Harry Styles’ “Watermelon Sugar” on the radio so I decided to check it out! It was a surprise! Loved the album and I really hope he gets some Grammy nominations next year!

    I was definitely not expecting to like this album so much, one of my favorite of this year. Harry Styles really rebranded and found himself as an incredible and original artist.

    This album is indeed something special, you may like it, you may not, you may love it, you may hate it.
    But as far as I'm concerned, this is one of the best albums I've ever listened to.

    Não existe a possibilidade de não encontrar pelo menos 1 música que se goste. Qualidade vocal e sonora impecáveis. Letras divertidas e estimulantes, um álbum gostoso de apreciar. Harry apresentou muitos de seus talentos nas variações sonoras deste álbum. Desde "Falling" à "Watermelon Sugar", completamente perfeito.

    Harry Styles is definitely growing as a musician in an absolute great way. He is defining his own identity and a generation of teens and young adults through his lyrics and music. An amazing album with perfect melodies almost as pretty as Joni Mitchell's in Blue. Congratulations Mr. Styles.

    Fine Line By Harry Styles is one of the best albums that have been released recently and it only gets better with each listen. It tells a story of love, rejection, and self-discovery. Never thought I would enjoy so much, but here we are.

    If Styles’ debut album wasn’t enough to bring him out from the enormous shadow of One Direction this album certainly did. His music is refined, and shows who he is an artist. Leaving the biggest boyband i’m the world and making a name for yourself as a solo artist can’t be easy. But with a dedicated fan base, Mr. Harry Styles did just that. I love this album and I love this man.

    this man is EXTREMELY overrated. he is the definition of white mediocrity. all of the songs on this album sound like something i’ve already heard before. the majority of the people that listen to his music are his fans who mostly listen to mainstream pop so for them, this album seems revolutionary. but for me, who listens to music from almost every genre, this album is nothing special.

    eu sou completamente apaixonada por esse álbum. lembro que quanto terminei de escutar pela primeira vez,eu quis chorar porque é surrealmente bom. harry é a prova viva de que música mainstream não precisa ter composição fraca e produção genérica. merece demais AOTY por tudo que esse álbum representa,pelo tanto que ele trabalhou. serviu demais lenda te amo

    It's a good album, but only good! It has great music, Harry delivered a cohesive album, but it's more of the same.

    U menine mandou bem aqui... comparando com o debut eu consegui me amarrar muito mais com as musicas. Mesmo tendo tracks completamente desconexas (na minha cabeça são) eu consigo reconhecer as tracks bem escolhidas (e feitas). Fine Line, a música, segue com o titulo de maior da carreira

    I love this album more than my live. She is a best song EVER!! Harry is perfect to everything he do. Everybody need to listen this album.
    Golden is like a heaven. Sounds be like angel in the heaven and Fine Line makes me cry in the cool way.

    Es un buen álbum, pero siento que no innova mucho en las canciones, letra y melodías. Como fan de él desde One Direction me hubiera gustado ver una evolución mas profunda sobre todo en el ritmo de las canciones ya que a mi parecer muchas tienen un sonido muy básico.

    This is the álbum that I'm listening everyday and I loved it so much. Fine Line is perfection.

    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.
