    Niall's debut album is pure perfection, its such a confort theme full of a mix with sad and upbeat songs, also more slowed songs (which i love), It gives me confort, it makes me happy. His lyrics are pure and real, he deserved more credit because its amazing! a perfect start for an amazing artist

    Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference...

    This album is surprisingly good actually. Songwriting is where he is best at, I hope to see him making a country record.

    We already have an Ed Sheeran and we don’t like him, we don’t need another one.

    this albums shows that Niall is really great as a solo artist-pop singer, besides he uses influences from country music that was really great, this álbum is really a masterpiece, you can feel what Niall is singing, he did a great debut. proud of him.

    The entire album is amazing. Filled with beautiful songs.. None of which are a skip. I'd recommend anyone to listen to flicker because it's not limited in terms of audiences. Very good album

    just extremely boring? listened to the entire album and then forgot it all. however, the title-track is beautiful and i have hopes for his next album if he follows that path instead of forgettable pop or bad lyrics about dirty laundry.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Niall Horan really have got more mature. This album have so many passion songs and ones that remember me one direction times, like "on my own", when he jokes about being single. "Too much to ask" is a really catchy song. For me, one of the bests songs is "Mirrors". It envolves the fans.… Expand

    Flicker é um álbum para qualquer momento, com letras criativas e melodias compostas para todos os gostos, contando com músicas animadas como "On the loose" ao mesmo tempo em que músicas emocionantes como a música que nomeia o ábum, "Flicker". Niall Horan prova ser um cantor com talento brilhante e com a capacidade compositora de um artista.

    I love Niall but I’m not a fan of this album. There’s some good songs but it’s too similar to 1Ds FOUR or music in general and I don’t like that album either.

    Good album, not a huge difference from his sound in one direction but great nonetheless. The singles that he released were great and well chosen to showcase his work. Its a body of work that can satisfy the one direction fans but also those people that want nothing to do with boybands.

    Niall has something I can't put into words. I like the genre of the album and why do I always feel like he doesn't even have to try hard? It's a great album for sure! Still listening to it all the time

    I loved it. I'm not going to review this album from a "does it distinguish itself among the masterpieces of pop" perspective, because I'm not arrogant enough to judge what a masterpiece of pop music would be. All I can say is that at a personal level this album touched me deeply, both lyrically and melodically. So, for my own reaction to this album, I've giving it a 10.

    Its lack of artistic ambition or character of its own is easy to mock, but Horan may well have the last laugh.

    Lyrically, Horan pushes no envelopes, sticking to earnest love plaints and poignant reminiscences for the most part, and even offering to listen to his girl’s problems in “Fire Away”.

    It is hard to get overheated about something so determinedly tepid. And yet, dropped amid the frenzy of pop radio, Horan’s songs are immediately distinctive.
