    Charlie Puth tries to sell you his debut "album" that, when talking about things put together well, contains nothing but a few mediocre cadences and vocal takes.

    FAV TRACK: We Don't Talk Anymore
    LEAST FAV TRACK: Left Right Left

    We have to be frank and say that this album has more downfalls than hits. The melodies are not as attractive enough as the lyrics, and Charlie is stuck in the simple, reaching the boring. Songs like "We Don't Talk Anymore" and "See You Again" add a touch of quality, but they don't save the album as a whole.

    Puth's vocal habilities and lyric composition should be recognized in all terms. Nine Track Mind is a project full of powerful balads that make us truly get to know the artist behind them, which is so important.

    It's the right artist in the wrong moment. There are plenty male performers singing about romantic proposals already and Charlie's are not more mature. Highlights are Losing My Mind, One Call Away and We Don't Talk Anymore. Everything else, including hits See You Again and Marvin Gaye (well, you gotta have a hit, right? We can't blame him) become futile and a bit silly. His "make or break"It's the right artist in the wrong moment.

    This album is mediocre, boring and bland. I like "One Call Away" and that's it. This album lacks creativity and consistency. All songs sound boring and they are nothing new. A lame album. No good quality in it.

    “I liked Nine Track Mind a lot more than I thought I would. There are actually some really good songs on this album, such as We Don’t Talk Anymore, Does It Feel and My Gospel, to name a few. Of course, as in Charlie Puth’s other album, Voicenotes, a lot of the songs sound the same. That being said, Nine Track Mind is not a terrible album, even if some people think that it is. Highlights: Dangerously, We Don’t Talk Anymore, My Gospel, Up All Night, Left Right Left, and Does It Feel.”

    I re-reviewed Voicenotes because it was the first album I had reviewed, and it was a couple months before I started doing this more. Because Nine Track Mind was the only other Puth album (besides the hidden Ego), I decided to re-review this album as well. In fact, I was even more disappointed the second time around. This is true that there are definitely songs in Nine Track Mind that I enjoyed, but living with those great songs are Nothing But Trouble and Suffer (and Marvin Gaye, and Losing My Mind, and As You Are), which were horrid songs. Suffer was actually bad and I didn’t really like Marvin Gaye (the song, not the singer) because it felt like Puth made a song out of one that Gaye had already made. I’m fine if songs reference other songs, but they should not be based on one another; where’s the creativity in that? Anyway, there were quite a few songs that I liked more the second time around, but it sadly just wasn’t enough for me to call Nine Track Mind a good album. Highlights: One Call Away, Dangerously, We Don’t Talk Anymore, My Gospel, Up All Night, Left Right Left, The There’s You, and Does It Feel.    … Expand

    Excelentes temas , el álbum le faltó poder por algunos temas que no van con el álbum , temas como One Call Away, Dangerously, We Don't Talk anymore,Suffer, Then there's you son temas que hace que valga la pena. Pero otros temas como Left Right left, my gospel, son temas que desvían mucho el álbum

    This album is actually good, you guys dislike him only because he writes about love, not about sex or explicit things. I am not really a fan, but this much hate to an album is unfair, so I'm boosting the ratings.

    The album has great songs and Charlie with impeccable vocals. Although, there remains a vague space on his album that lacks the essence in each of his songs. His compositions are felt. Evolution better it all, he's a huge artist!

    This isn't the best album Chalrie Puth can create but it still owns songs that reflects about love and some pure bits over the past years. 'Ego' was much better because it was more diverse.

    Charlie Puth is clearly a talented artist, he has a great voice, however he sacrificed his talent in order to make boring, repetitive and forgettable romantic ballads. It doesn't seem like the type of album Puth wanted to make, and it's not the album we wanted him to make either.

    Charlie has pushed the bar up on how generic and boring an album can be. This album has not one standout. There were a few ok songs but most of them were so bad that I wanted a refund on the album. It is so cheesy and frankly boring. You can tell he wanted to be like Ed or Taylor here but he could not achieve the emotion of love like they do.

    Charlie Puth's showy debut has no substance, and is nothing compared to other debuts we've seen by the likes of ZAYN and John Bellion. There is no other word to describe charlie's debut but Horrible, because that is exactly what it is. Heartless, pop candy with endless flourishes.

    Good voice doesn't necessarily mean good songs. Unfortunately not a lot of stuff here feels original, and a lot of the songs sound almost the same. Doesn't hook enough for a second listen.

    Puth's singing ability seems to outstrip his songwriting on most of the tracks. In the albums better moments the traditional pop songs sound like an homage, but in it's worst, those same leanings feel forced and cheesy. Lookin' at you "Marvin Gaye". Still there are some strong singles in here. "We Don't Talk Anymore" alone makes this worth a listen.

    What puts me off is that if this was sung by Ed Sheeran, Justin Timberlake, and possibly even the Chainsmokers, it wouldn't be a bad album. But it is.

You can SENSE the emptiness of the guitars and bass. And don't get me started on lyrics. Puth has just shown that he's trying way too hard to be like Mariah Carey or Michael Jackson, and failing, singing about past relationships and being a "hero." [False ego.] As for his voice, it's so whimpery and whiny that it sounds like he's going through puberty again.
    I enjoyed See You Again as much as anyone. But every other song by Puth just slowly turns him into the 16 year old Justin Bieber (The one we all hated). He lacks charisma, talent, and emotion, and his solace for all that is just fake.
    It could be worse, though. Still, I hate this album.    … Expand

This album however, doesn't do his vocals any justice. Lazy songwriting, monotonous rhythms and overall boring production just leaves the listener wanting a little bit more.

    The main problem with this album is that it's boring, there's no other way to describe it. Puth's vocals are good as always, but he never really seems to hit any high notes, it's just all very bland. 'One Call Away' is a decent opener to the album, but before I knew it I found myself listening to 'See You Again' (with Wiz Khalifa), ending the album off.

    None of the tracks, except the opening and closing tracks, managed to grip me. This LP blends elements of standard pop, R&B and doo-wop, but doesn't seem to try and push any boundaries. It just ends up being another standard pop record, which is a shame because this project had lots of potential to be great.

    To summarise why this record is flawed: The opening track is great, but all the other tracks sound like the opening track. There's just not enough variation here to keep things interesting, but there's no denying that Puth is capable of releasing a solid body of work.

    As a debut album this comes off as a bit of a disappointment, but there's lots of room for him to grow as an artist.

    My personal favourites from the LP: 'One Call Away' and 'See You Again'.

    Não gostei! Musicas sem graça, tudo muito sem uma estrutura, musicas repetitivas, me deu dor de cabeça no final. O que salvou o álbum foi as parcerias por isso das vendas, a voz dele é bem fraquinha...

    It has a lot of great & catchy songs, though the album could have had more justice.. it lacks freshness from every song.. like, everything seems to be the same.

    This album feels really soulless, unreal, bland and generic. This is just a bad attempt to be a mediocre romantic album. This is the worst album of 2016 by far.

And yes, I have listened to the album and it isn't 100% bad. I mean, "We don't Talk Anymore" feat.

    Esse álbum é uma vergonha. Charlie Puth não passa de um lixo genérico que quer fama a custas dos outros. Selena Gomez realmente é muito humilde pra fazer um feat com isso. Flopando nas vendas e nas críticas, que morte horrível pro cakeputh, que além de fã daqueles pisados do 5SOS, agora é fã de uma chacota que é o Charlie Puth.

    Absolute dredge. This album just plods, and plods, and plods along. The most exciting segment is when Selena Gomez shows up for a sleepy cameo. This really could have used a shot in the arm and more than just two uptempo tracks. 'Left Right Left' might be some of the most pedestrian writing I've ever heard.

    The criticism has been unfair to this boy. romantic musical future!The album can be cheesy, but it is an album of compositions excelent and well produced. Charlie Puth stands out as a good composer, though still not be exelente. Talves the world needs a greater pinch of love to understand what Puth meant the Nine Track Mind.

    This album is absolutely incredible. Charlie's voice is unique and full of passion. I love every single song on the album. He has obviously put a lot of time and effort into making it great. It doesn't surprise me that critics aren't in favor of nine track mind because it's not a traditional pop album, Definitely money well spent and I can't wait to see what Charlie does next.

    Basic. A total waste of voice and talent, with an album full of mediocre feelings, trying too hard to be "romantic" but ends up being ridiculous. Full of balades that tried to be at least romantic, but end up giving tasteless feelings.

To each their own I suppose. I'll pass on this one.

    Charlie Puth (Rumson, Nueva Jersey; 2 de diciembre 1991) es un cantante estadounidense., de la banda sonora de la película Fast and Furious 7, como un homenaje al fallecido Paul Walker. El sencillo se convirtió en un enorme éxito internacional, alcanzando el número uno en el Billboard Hot 100 de los Estados Unidos, Reino Unido y otros 11 países más.

    Every song on Nine Track Mind can be considered bland radio filler. Nothing really stands out enough to make the listener go "wow", and the album gets boring and predictable after the first two tracks. Not a strong debut at all, but this young artist has all the time to come through with the next era and consider this just a "seasonal buzz album". Personally speaking, it was a rather boring experience I wouldn't want to repeat.    … Expand

Sinceramente, ainda dá tempo dele remover o album dele das lojas físicas e digitais e encerrar a carreira em See You Again que é outro lixo. Enfim, lixo consegue resumir de forma completa o Nine Track Mind e a carreira dele. Coitado de verdade do cakeputh.

    Love it, but sometimes it feels pretty repetitive, but it's good for being his debut album.

    A pretty average album. The only good song would be We Don't Talk Anymore featuring Selena Gomez. I believe if it was not for Selena on the track then i'd rate the album a 3. Charlie got lucky with See You Again. He's those type of artists who get lucky for a year like Rachel Platten (with Fight Song), Rober Thicke (with Blurred Lines) and Iggy Azalea (with Fancy and Black Widow)

    It doesn’t help that Nine Track Mind is all ballads except for three tracks, two of which are duets (Trainor, a sleepy Selena Gomez) that somehow still feel like ballads. Puth cannot fill this frame of sentimentality with any genuine sentiment.
