    Too often here, Sheeran feels like a supporting player, especially when he strays from his wheelhouse. For instance, if the singer wants to lean into rapping more, he’s not likely to benefit from doing so on the same track as Chance. And when Sheeran trots out his bad-boy routine, his music feels ersatz. It’s playacting of the worst kind.

    On this record, he’s taking a stab at, well, every genre. It doesn’t pay off, though, because this effort results in a sense of emptiness, an abyss of authenticity or real feeling. And that’s the problem: Despite writing “emotional” ballads for a huge part of his career, none of us really have any idea who Ed Sheeran is.

    A few songs that good ain't enough to make up the residue. This album can't even be considered an 'upgrade' from Ed Sheeran's Divide. Rather,A few songs that good ain't enough to make up the residue. This album can't even be considered an 'upgrade' from Ed Sheeran's Divide. Rather, it's another low albeit his overproduction and adventurous effort. Many songs of it don't blend the collaborations properly, and Ed himself is being the guilty for many parts. Antisocial (a track from the album) is the worst one.… Full Review »

    This album is so bad that is just goes to show how untalented ed sheeran really is even with the help of his so called mates. There's not oneThis album is so bad that is just goes to show how untalented ed sheeran really is even with the help of his so called mates. There's not one good song on this album. All sound the same. All a pile of poop. This guys needs to do the world a favour and stop making music. He's already destroyed the music industry as it is. Terrible. No doubt his fellow gingers will love it though.… Full Review »
