    I had to listen to some songs twice to understand what I was listening to. This album has a very mature sound that I enjoyed very much, which for me it was a surprise because the only song from
    this album that I knew was “watermelon sugar”, and that made me expect something very commercial and basic.

    Definitely better than the debut album. I love every song on this record. No skips.

    It's a concept album of the kind of commercial pop we're used to, I think Styles has the lyrical potential to form aesthetics.

    This album transports me to places I never thought were possible to go just listening to music. It is sensitive and hopeful in the right measure, with chilling melodies and instrumentals.

    Every track makes you feel a different emotion: being in Love, depressed, addicted to someone, loneliness... Great record! Top Songs: Falling, Adore You and Fine Line

    Good album, nice aesthetic. The lyrics improved and most songs are catchy. I would’ve like to see more rockish songs like in the first one, but still a nice album.

    Fine Line has simple lyrics yet it delivers its message. The instrumental on most musics are perfectly produced to create the perfect summer vibes. “Falling” and “She” convey a true heart-broken person who thinks it’s ok with the breakup but try isn’t.

    At the end of the day it really was a tremendous jump between the debut album and fine line, a better handling of experiences and varied rhythms bring something different and fresh to this album.

    it's probably one of the best albums i've ever listened to. it'll honestly be hard for harry styles to make an album better than fine line, but i know if anyone can do it, it's him, and i'm so incredibly excited to listen to harry's house, coming may 20th!

    It appears Harry has taken the best parts of his debut and improved upon them. This record feels truly like something only he could do which is what makes it so impressive and diverse.

This record feels truly like something only he could do which is what makes it so impressive and diverse. The lead "lights up" gives a Harry like never before seen,in the video he's shirtless, dirty in a orgy of ckose body's seemingly setting off the unbearable sexuality rumours. It felt like a perfume genius No Shape era influenced bop,the chorus is built up to in a cathartic message to be yourself. "Adore You" is a passionate longing for something that won't work so rather than commit to it he revels in enjoying it's luxury. His first number 1 with a chorus that smart it's no surprise it took over the charts. In what I see to be the only misstep "canyon moon" Harry still sounds good but the song is empty, just words set to song without the personality that reinforces the strength his performances. The fun self depreciating "to be so lonely " is a short lived groove bound for many shower karaoke's. But out of all this and maybe his discography is the grabd title track. Omg i cannot stress the tracks draw. It's lyrics guilt and regret feel grown up and the instrumental build up and eventual catharsis (with trumpets even!) comes exactly when you need it. Despite it's 6min runtime it doesn't overstay it's welcome. It's a beacon of hope for what Harry is capable of and a crown in his discography.… Expand

    I hear no lyrics, just some weird instruments. I wonder when this guy will finally learn new vocabulary and write songs by himself instead of working with 342762 people for some awful songs. And this is the same person Rolling Stone wanting us to believe that a rock icon? Even Liam Payne can write better lyrics. Oops.

    Lights Up alone makes this a 10. When Harry Styles asks ‘do you know who you are?’ how could you not listen and think to yourself? And how can you not cry at the thought of a crowd chanting ‘We’ll be alrighttttt’ during the outro to Fine Line as we find ourselves still traversing through the COVID pandemic?

    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.
