    An extremely experimental and quality album, its title track is exceptional. With this album Billie Eilish proves that she is here to stay.

    This is just a masterpiece. You all who think this is her worst project, I suggest you to listen to it again. It blesses my ears .

    This album is arguably the best album of the decade. The second half of “Happier Than Ever” alone destroys everything lana del taco has ever released. Nobody is touching Billie’s level.

    Best album of all time. Every song is different from the others and this makes the album so UNIQUE.

    The production is so unbelievable and the writing so mature, love or hate Billie you must listen to this album; for me it has impacted so much on my mind and my change from adolescent to adult. I hope her next album will be Rock.

    A really excellent, cohesive album with different genres and is completely different from the first album.

    Billie managed to show a more personal and more complete album, her second album approaches heavy subjects with the necessary lightness

    I think the album is great because of the soft and slow songs that fit her voice, but to mix those with some loud – and sometimes annoying songs – makes it just sometimes awkward to listen to.

The tracks that stand out the me are mostly the soft ones and the climactic ending with “Happier than ever”, the only song where this loud sound works. I also don’t think she could’ve included a “roll the credits-ish” song, it’s just not needed, because It doesn’t add anything to the record after the last one. She could’ve put that one in between the others, but I think she knew what she was doing and decided to do it anyway. I don’t think the loud and bombastic style fits her voice really well, that’s why the slow and soft tracks stand out. Except for the kind of interlude song called “not my responsibility” where she goes in on all the journalists and people in her comment section that call her a “slut” or “fat” and all those kind of insults. I get the message, I think it’s brave, but Damn you could’ve put this on your Instagram story or something instead of preaching into a mic thinking you’re doing something to change the world or something. I don’t like it and I always just skip it, it’s a real miss. She could’ve put this into a song, but she didn’t. It’s also not something deep spoken word like with Kendrick Lamar on the skit of “i” where he talks about the N-word and changing it have a better connotation “Negus” means King, and that’s where he wants to change it to, that’s so much better than writing your insecurities down and telling everyone “I get called a slut because of my clothes”, that ain’t doing nothing. I don’t know this is just the worst “song” I’ve heard of her yet, it’s brave, overrated and not needed on this record.

    It is an album that shows many of Billie's feelings, with very well implemented sounds, resulting in a very good album.

In my opinion, better than the first one, this album manages to approach new themes in new ways now without fear of being judged… Expand

    When you have a masterpiece already, it's really hard to have other one, specially the next one. This wasn't a problem for Billie and Finneas. They was like "we wrote one of the bests albums, let's make another once since is so easy". Different of WWAFAWDWG, and still perfect, unique and honest in its own way. I can't wait for what those two are doing next.

    Happier Than Ever is almost unfathomabluly great.

    So, whilst it may not boast songs that stick with you for months in the way that Eilish’s first does, Happier Than Ever feels like a project that will age more gracefully and, in years to come, it may even come to eclipse that which came before it.

    “Your Power” is the slowest-and-lowest moment on “Happier Than Ever,” but as a whole the album is softer, quieter, more languid than Eilish’s trap-inflected debut. ... The dreamy-jazzy mode suits her singing, which has never sounded better than it does throughout “Happier Than Ever.”

    Billie Eilish’s second album expands upon everything that worked the last time and pushes it in new directions, a creative muse restless and bold in its ambition. It may not always land, but this is a terrific release that proves Eilish’s staying power, demonstrating she’s more than up to the task of delivering on the promise of her debut.
