    Yikes. I'm not quite sure what the appeal on this record is. It's basically the record you play when you want to fall asleep and quite frankly this album did put me to sleep. My first listen-through, I only made it halfway through before I fell asleep. The title track is obviously the highlight of this album and I sincerely hope Billie continues to explore much more rock-sounding music.Yikes. I'm not quite sure what the appeal on this record is.

The title track is obviously the highlight of this album and I sincerely hope Billie continues to explore much more rock-sounding music. The clear low point was "Not My Responsibility," it's not even a song, easily a 0/10. Unfortunately I was disappointed listening to this album and I do hope Billie can put out a better album in the future.… Expand

    The album grew on me a lot after I had lisened to it a second time. One of the things I liked the most was that every song felt unique. They didn’t sound the same, but they still worked good together. So I was never bored while listening to the album. My ranking of the songs: (The ones in top 5 are basically all 1. to me. But for now I just do ‘em like this)
    1. Therefore I am

    happier than ever, el álbum que fácilmente le podría otorgar el segundo galardón de AOTY en los grammys. este álbum lo es todo, te lleva en una dirección de superación y de como sobresalir.
    en este álbum se encuentra su mejor canción de toda su carrera (hasta ahora) "billie bossa nova"

    billie não nos surpreende com esse novo álbum, que embora seja bom, mais parece com seus antigos trabalhos do que um novo álbum, de fato. algumas músicas são enjoativas, e não têm mais o poder de "hit" dos seus antigos trabalhos. um destaque especial vai para a faixa título do álbum, que é a melhor música de sua carreira .

    Happier Than Me, por Billie Eilish, é a personificação perfeita, em faixas sonoras, de uma jornada de luz que traz consigo uma energia avassaladora e crucial para o público atual. Parabéns, Billie Eilish!

    Billie Eilish have the style of Lana del Rey and Lorde but in other level, she grew up since her last album. Happier than ever is a good album if we talk about the compsitions of the songs. Billie is a poet who make us cry with her songs. I'm not a big fan of Billie but this album is good, that's all.

    ela nunca decepciona, desde a produção até composição. a melhor artista dessa geração, odiada por ser talentosa e esse album só provou que ela tem potencial em todos os gêneros musicais que quiser fazer.

    It was no doubt that Billie Eilish was trying to expand her musical sounds by testing out some musical genres that were not heard from her songs before. She incorporates R&B sounds with Getting Older and my future, and country sounds with the title track and Male Fantasy. Despite taking her sounds into a new level, we can’t deny that her former electropop sounds were still in the album, as evident with I Didn’t Change my Number, Oxytocin, and Therefore I Am. But her album weren’t as happier than her debut album, “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO”. This album was a great evolution for Eilish’s lyrical writing skills but was very messy at first glance. She combined acoustic folk songs with electronically driven pop sounds which is not really pleasing to hear as the album progresses. Her playfulness in making this record was greater than her previous works, but it is very incohesive and some tracks are worth skipping for like GOLDWING and Oxytocin, unlike her non-skipped debut album.

    Like many other artists in this decade, Eilish took a step to also apply Lana Del Rey’s melodies, songwriting, and instrumentation, as evident with Your Power, Halley’s Comet and Getting Older. However, there are few standout songs that are worth mentioning for, like Therefore I Am, Getting Older and the spoken-word interlude, Not My Responsibility. Some songs were great to listen at start but will suddenly disappoint you, like Happier Than Ever and GOLDWING. Happier Than Ever was one of the greatest pop record in 2021 but if I would compare it with its debut record, I will happily vine with “WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP WHERE DO WE GO”, 50% more. Happier Than Ever isn’t a bad record but just a major step down from her previous sounds, and if I were to suggest, she should reconsider her track listing procedures for the album. All songs are worth listening for but I think some were listed in the wrong album.

    Besides the beautiful writing, this is an album that constantly lacks energy and that fever that her previous works gave us. It's just not memorable.

    Absolutamente fascinante la manera en que Billie nos cuenta una historia de su crecimiento y empoderamiento. Uno de sus mejores discos y me atrevería a decir que sin duda es uno de los mejores discos de este año.

    She's authentic, and that's enough to keep hearing her... I know sometimes looks that she's recycling her songs, her meoldies, her style, but is her brand, she created, no one dared to do something like Billie does, so she has a point with me. In happier than ever , I could see a new face of Billie, she shows more of her voice, a lit bit a louder, I could see it NDA and happier than ever,She's authentic, and that's enough to keep hearing her...

She more confident with her body, her shape. I think Billie it's a kind of slow girl, she's not that pop diva, she needs time, HER TIME, to do everything she wants. Now I can see a new Billie, and with love this...… Expand

    Although I know about Billie since 2016 when she released "Six Feet Under" and love her EP "dont smile at me", I can't seem to like her albums. I don't know why, it just seems uninspired to me and it is a shame. The track that shares the same name as the album is a banger though.

    Una vez más me cuesta conectar con Billie, si bien a primera escuchada me gustó mucho mas que el debut (a este me habían gustado solo como 4 canciones pero mientras más lo escuchaba más me gustaba), no siento que sea muy memorable para mí capaz tenga que escucharlo más pero esos sonidos como tan "estruendosos" no me gustar4on nada la primera vez que lo escuché

    She’s a modern Mozart definitely. Album is timeless. And I really appreciate Decartes’s and Gustav Holst’s quotes.

    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.
