    I like beerbongs & bentleys more, but that one isn't bad. Singles are good but there is too much filler songs.

    it could’ve been something but it didn’t and that’s what angered me most, he had the capability to make a powerful album... but the end product is not it.

    Circles, goodbyes, sunflower, wow are obviously really great songs but the rest of the album is bland and doesn’t say much and some songs are just borderline bad pop songs

    Overall good album, if you enjoyed Beerbong’s and Bentley’s you’ll love this. I’m not a fan of Post Malone but this was a decent album. Overall, good listen and some good tracks.

    Undoubtedly his best work to date (though that admittedly wasn't very high of a bar to clear) as well as a major step forward for Post, his insistence on falling back onto the same old "mopey-boy crooner" schtick every other song nevertheless undermines much of the considerable growth and newfound promise on display here, and it robs the album of any feeling of urgency or necessity.Undoubtedly his best work to date (though that admittedly wasn't very high of a bar to clear) as well as a major step forward for Post, his insistence on falling back onto the same old "mopey-boy crooner" schtick every other song nevertheless undermines much of the considerable growth and newfound promise on display here, and it robs the album of any feeling of urgency or necessity.

    Aunque Post Malone pareciera estar entrando a un cementario o el mismísimo infierno en la portada de Hollywood's Bleeding, la verdad es que el álbum está felizmente producido y solo algunas canciones logran transmitir esa sensación de tristeza o depresión que ya la misma portada anuncia.

Los mejores momentos del álbum vienen de la mano de guitarras y la tan caraterística voz temblorosa de Posty, asimismo de los feats que en esta ocasión son fenomenales. La colaboración con Ozzy Osbourne es absolutamente genial, hay una mezcla entre dark rock y pop que funciona por completo. Lastimosamente hay otras canciones que no logran dejar que el álbum sea todo un concepto... pero es algo ya característico de los demás álbumes del neoyorkino. Aún sigo esperando el lanzamiento de su álbum más fuerte, todos sabemos que sus influencias no radican precisamente en el pop o el hip-hop, Post Malone es un metalero de corazón.… Expand

    More well-executed than his previous releases and undeniably catchy, Hollywood's Bleeding is a huge step forward for the guarded superstar, one that doesn't sacrifice the essential elements that made him such a surprise hitmaker, and pushes him even further into the pop-savvy landscape where he belongs.

    Even when he is stretching the boundaries of his sound, as he does in several places on “Hollywood’s Bleeding,” the results feel the opposite of experimental. When you’re an omnivore taking a mortar and pestle to six decades of pop music history and turning it into a smooth slurry, it’s nigh impossible to shock. ... Whatever someone might be hoping to find is in there somewhere. Post Malone is emotional tofu, a skill, not an accident. ... His ambiguity is of an elevated, refined sort.

    It will be a surprise to learn which tracks aren’t singles yet; there’s at least five more hits to be spawned from this thing, and we’ll never hear the end of it.
