    Fine line is a lot better than his debut album, showing major growth as an artist. My favorites are adore you, lights up, watermelon sugar, falling, golden and cherry.

    Probably one of the best albums of last year's!

    Being completely honest, it took me some listens until I could get totally into it unlike his first album as I'm more of a rocker myself :D There is different styles (mind me the pun) of music but he and his crew made it work really well. He was also really brave to put TPWK in it since it's not a exactly a pop song (I mean the most poppy

    Fine Line is one of my favorites if not the favorite of all of them. Simply a masterpiece that gets me every time I listen to it. A really instrumental focused track.

    A truly powerful piece of art. A beautiful mix of ballads, pop, and psychedelic songs, all with so much emotion behind each lyric. From the opening chord to the closing chord, I was so enraptured with his songs, accompanied by his angelic and versatile voice and incredible instrumentals. Perfection.

    Harry Styles releases his best material to date. The composition surprises us and even having long tracks has its totally unique fluids, strong tracks and tracks that makes you unique as an artist. His chilling voice mixed with captivating gains carry the design in an amazing, beautiful and simple way. A strong bet for the 2021 Grammys.

    Soulful and creative, a masterpiece. Amazing production, good storyline that ties one song to the other, good tracklist disposition. Harry’s voice is unique and is used in different ways to compliment different moments in the music. Last track Fine Line is a movie-like outro that really deserves so much.

    From how wonderful the first album was I was unsure if Harry could top something so amazing but he literally did with Fine Line. Everybody always speaks about the sophomore curse but Harry outdid himself with this one. I can't put into words what he does with his music, it's unexplainable. Perfect album! Well done

    This album is REALLY very different from the first one, "Harry Styles". This still remind me the 80s songs, but not rockish. The first single "Lights Up" really caught me to be honest because i was imagining a new rock album style. For me, the first album is really more catchy and better at all, but i feel that Harry Styles is evolving in music.

    A lot of hype but he really needs to work on his lyrics and think better about the deep of his work. I am seeing beauty and sex material only in a nice package of high profile producers. I can not see him properly in this. But if he only wants to be a performer and not a complete artist. That's fine.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me preface this by saying I am a rock fan. Harry Styles has always been the odd one out of my playlist, as everything else I listen to is much... harder? I've always appreciated this guy's influence of old classic rock and his enigmatic pretense both in real life and in interviews. Harry has such an intelligent, mature soul (I honestly get the vibe that there's something more to him but I'm gonna keep that to myself). OK, this isn't a review on Harry himself, but the album Fine Line. Let me start out by saying this; it was okay. It wasn't trash, it wasn't mediocre, it wasn't bland, but it wasn't... excellent. it's definitely a 7.5 for me. Only 2 songs had me really genuinely embraced in the music, and only 3 could manage to suck me in. It seemed like, while the others held significance they just simply lacked depth, like everything that wanted to be said was stated directly.

    'She' was a knockout for me, probably one of the best songs of 2019. The guitar was IMMACULATE the channeling of 70s-80s rock with the vocals on the chorus sent shivers down my spine, and did I mention the guitar? The song pulls you in and doesn't let you go. You feel high while the guitar solo plays. Honestly, give me an album of just Mitch playing that guitar and I'll buy it, I swear. 'Fine Line' (the song) was probably second best for me. While people say that the constant repetition of the title is annoying, I just get more and more emotion from it every time its sang. Anxiety and tension build until it's released with the smashing of drums. Truly a wonderful closing song! Other notable good songs were 'Golden', 'Lights Up', 'Adore You', and 'To Be So Lonely'. Sunflower gets an honorable mention.

    Now, what this album lacked that his first album did so well: the 'Kiwi' moment. There was no jump up, scream the lyrics at the top of your lungs and thrash moment on Fine Line and it was... disappointing to say the least. The hyping up of 'Watermelon Sugar' to be the next Kiwi led to an underwhelming reveal. I don't like that song at all, I'm sorry. I refuse to even compare it to my darling 'Kiwi'. Harry Styles, if you're out there, just know that I am still so upset that Medicine had a chance and yet you put in Watermelon Sugar. Medicine would have been the second best song on the album (yes, 'She' is better than 'Medicine', i admit that) and it would have been the kiwi moment we deserve. Please Harry, I beg. It doesn't even have to be on an album just please release Medicine.

    All rants about Songs aside, this is a fun album, and easily one of the best releases of 2019. If you compare this album to the other ones released this year... yeah it's probably like number three or something. But in the general history of music, and of Harry Styles, it really isn't too high...

    By the way I am still salty about what Harry did to Medicine but that's fine it's cool. :)

    Harry é um artista que tem muito que mostrar e o 'Fine Line' só comprova isso. Fora do ambiente do self-titled, o segundo álbum trabalha com instrumentais diferenciados mas que se encaixam perfeitamente no estilo de música que H. tanto se caracteriza. Com músicas muito boas para chorar e também dançar, o Fine Line não surpreende em ser um dos mais vendidos e um dos melhores de 2019.

    Brilliant, inspiring and wonderful, what a way to bring psychedelic pop / rock back to the scene, embrace your freedom and take it on a journey of solitude, drugs and self-discovery.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Lyrically, Fine Line is incredibly honest. He doesn't bother to get overly poetic — and he doesn't need to. On "Cherry," he leads with his vocals in a raw expression of desperately missing an ex lover who seems to have found another. "To Be So Lonely" encapsulates the sense of acceptance you feel after a heart-shattering breakup, even calling out his own flaws and errors. Album closer "Fine Line" is the perfect way to end his tale of woe and horniness. It's happy and sad, romantic, full of disdain and beautiful all the same. Fine Line is proof that Harry Styles has grown as an artist since his solo debut. He hasn't reached his full potential, but he's certainly well on his way. (Columbia) Expand

    Fine line by Harry Styles is a masterpiece all songs are incredibly good, and the sounds are happy and sad but fine line is one of the best albums of 2019.

    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.
