    So, when this album was released, and at the first listen i was blown away, intro track The Tradition was amazing, love it, and when it comes to Bells in Santa Fe, that track is magnificent, amazing, i will say this for rest of the album, i just love it, it's different from her past Records, and my favorite tracks are: Girl with a gun, I'm not a woman, I'm a god & Lilith

    Very solid album. And NIN reminisce, which is not surprising at all knowing the producers handling this album. Love the industrial in it. It is not just added as ornaments, but actually blatantly and proudly shown. In effect to that, this album got into full bloom, it flourished.

I dare say this album is Halsey's magnum opus. Bookmark it.

    I will say, this album is for everyone who got tired of slow, sappy and breathy sounding, or half assed alternative album. Alternative don't, and shouldn't, always means emulating Tori Amos, Kate Bush, Fiona Apple, or early Jewel. Being a hard ass blowing up in your face is also constitutes as an alternative. If NIN ever have a femme side, this album perfectly depicted that. 10/10

    Meu deus que desastre sonoro. A priori, é preciso ressaltar a falta de personalidade nas músicas, contrariando seus precedentes majestosos trabalhos, como o BADLANDS. Ao contrário deste último, o novo álbum de Halsey não possui identidade lírica, o que se observa é única e simplesmente a reprodução do mesmo já tido na indústria do pop por anos.

    At first listen some will claim this album is a chocolate cheeseburger: Everybody loves chocolate, and everybody loves cheeseburgers. But not necessarily together. Halsey’s voice is beautiful, and Reznor/Ross’s music is phenomenal. Yet some may say that they don't necessarily go well together. But after a second and third listen, you realize that they go together really perfectly.

    We clearly can observe the growth of Halsey as a songwriter and an artist. Songs are filled with thoughtful and meaningful lyrics, some of the song deal with important topics, for example, religion. I would like to highlight some top tracks: 1121, honey, I am not a woman, I'm a god. The album allows you to plunge into a mystical atmosphere and dissolve in it.

    Unsurprisingly they return with a huge change in aesthetic but the left turn in sound is what works for them best. Being halseys best work to date IICHLIWP arrives a a fresh collaborative effort which despite getting stuck in it's own themes and suffering from uninspired songwriting that has haunted her last two LP's it has production strong enough to apologize for it.

"Ya'aburnee" is the cutest piece she has created here. Exactly, her life is a film and this is the soundtrack. "The Lighthouse" represents everything she left in 2019, while "Bells in Santa Fe" would allegory the process of discomfort during pregnancy. Halsey is a genius, and y'all must stop ignoring her forever.

Ever since its release, this is all I've had playing and there isn't a "weak link." Instead it unfolds beautifully with each track and I already know this is going to be my most played record this year (and for years to come). Even the transitions between songs are so well-planned! It's a hell of an accomplishment by Halsey, and their constant openness and honesty in both happiness, love and pain is forever appreciated for those of us who can't find the right words. Expand

    This project was sad, to say the least. I was sad for Halsey to say the least. I'm just not sure what else to say, but I definitely recommend people to listen to this album. I didn't have any low points, musically and lyrically it was engaging throughout.

    Transitions in first couple of tracks really got me. The opening paints the vibe of whole album. Everything is flawlessly crafted and placed.

    Halsey developed a majestic career, she's getting so mature comparing each of her albums since the debut. I'm very proud of seeing her glow up as an artist and as a woman

    I have been waiting for IICHLIWP the whole summer and I have to say I was a bit underwhelmed when I first heard it. On the first listen I would have given it a 7/10
    Now, after listening to the whole album for the 4th time, I can say the album has grown on me A LOT. The production handled very well and that only helped showcasing Halsey's songwriting skills. So far the album isna 10/10 for

    Hasley incorporates lyric-storytelling with an amazing production, from upbeat songs to more personal ones. She experiments new sounds which fully work in this fantasy that is iichliwp

    Halsey deu o melhor de si nesse álbum! Simplesmente monumental. I Am Not A Woman, I'm A God é a melhor faixa

    Compared to this summer's pop offerings—think of the similarly themed efforts by Billie Eilish and Lorde, both of which deal with the trappings of fame with serenity and blissful detachment, respectively—If I Can't Get Love, I Want Power is provocative, and even ugly, in its most vulnerable moments. Self-indulgent, sure, but its emotional chaos feels earned.

    Easier Than Lying is shouty and electronic, while You Asked for This finds Halsey fronting a Smashing Pumpkins pastiche. Amid all the Sturm und Drang and sludgy oompah (The Lighthouse) there is some high-quality writing, chiefly in the pizzicato niggles and Jesus analogies of Bells in Santa Fe (“it’s not a happy ending”) and Whispers.

    If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power is on an upward trajectory in terms of Halsey releasing quality music. By and by, Halsey may not have love, but her latest record is power.
