Aug 23, 2022Hayley's vocals are pure love and her signature style of writing has the ability to transport you into the scene.
-
Aug 22, 2022Brilliant album, thoroughly enjoy Hayley’s solo work, she is so so so good!
-
Apr 12, 2022This album is absolutely brilliant. The lyrics are heartbreaking, but through the album they get more optimistic, so this album takes you on an emotional rollercoaster that never gets old.

Mar 25, 2021femininity and self-expression to its full extent, truly a no skip album. A clear move away from the paramore sound but a welcome change.

Mar 21, 2021Whilst Paramore's music tends to be all rage and release, solo Williams offers something much more quirky and cerebral, delving poetically and occasionally combatively into her insecurities. The elaborate intricacy of writing and production may be a lot to take in for all but devoted fans.
-
Mar 21, 2021Simplesmente um dos melhores álbuns de 2020. Ela conseguiu colocar nas músicas todos os seus sentimentos, revoltas e angústias de forma impecável e bela.
-
Feb 5, 2021Why we ever isn't just a song, ITS THE SONG. I love how the lyrics convey so much feeling.
-
Feb 5, 2021An absolutely beautiful record with deep and intimate as well as soaring vocals. Deeply intricate and oftentimes in the case of "Cinamon" strange instrumentation that shows the versatility of Hayley Williams. Definitely something to listen and go back to. The lyrical depth is astonishing; you really feel you get a look into an otherwise quiet world.
-
Jan 1, 2021Nesse álbum a Hayley mostrou um lado dela que estava escondido há muito tempo no Paramore. A letra, a melodia e as batidas foram muito bem representadas. Por esse motivo, posso afirmar, com certeza, que o álbum poderia entrar tranquilamente na lista dos melhores de 2020. Espero ter mais da Williams nos próximos anos.

Nov 3, 2020The sonority of this album make me CRAZY. This is an easy go-to happy album, love it.

Oct 24, 2020The album is full of emotion with beatiful ballads like Roses/Violet/Lotus/Iris or Why We Ever, fun songs like Sugar on the Rim or Pure Love, etc. Plus, the production of Taylor York makes it a good album to listen. The only bad thing is the way some lyrics are just simple and easy to see. But everything else is good.
-
Aug 31, 2020never underestimate Hayley Williams’ songwriting skills bc she’s really one of the best of it

Aug 4, 2020No hay forma en que Hayley pudiera hacer algo mejor, es simplemente sublime su álbum

Jul 27, 2020Williams leaves her heart and vurnerability in this record. She opens up to her way of getting over pain and we can all relate to that. This experimental approach she takes is perfect because it paves the way for a lot of different tastes in music to follow her along through hee journey of self discovery
-
Jul 25, 2020Unbalanced, but that was to be expected considering it was a debut solo album.
Obviously Williams tried to incorporate as many elements as possible to try to look more experimental and diverse than what she does in Paramore, but it's evident that her songs were not that solid to respond to her ambitions. -
Jul 24, 2020absolutely amazing and touching, i love this album so much, the beats and lyrics, i really love Hayley Williams, she is pure art.
-

Jul 7, 2020I did not listen Hayley's Paramore work. But i really liked this album. Maybe part 3 takes more time to like for me. But overall it's very good. I liked almost all the songs.

Jun 8, 2020It's a genuine album. You can her emotions with every track, and the instrumental alongside with add-ins really make it complete. This album allows you to hear her journey. The vocals and bass were also insane.
-

-
May 29, 2020Haylye debuta con un álbum poco dinámico e interesante, haciéndose monótono no llega a tocar un ápice del alma, pero lo intenta.
-
May 28, 2020Hayley Williams coats thoughts in metaphors of blooming garden and wilting flowers that symbolizes her highs and lows. Though the record seems repetitive at times, the experimentation and introduction of new genres on her growing plethora made the record at least interesting… but like any garden, Petals for Armor needs a bit of trimming.
-
May 25, 2020Great to see she set up a side project and did not mix the whole thing with Paramore. That was a smart move to show how personal she could get, and she did. The thing about this album is that you can totally feel what she’s going through by the whole experience of hearing it
-
May 22, 2020I love this album
-
May 20, 2020This album shows a whole new side of Hayley Williams (lead singer of Paramore). In this era she’s bringing different styles of music in an exceptional piece of artwork. Melodies are fun, some of them even allows us to dance. But deep down, Most of the lyrics are dark and tell stories about the situations she experienced struggling with depression.

May 16, 2020Known for her history in Paramore, Hayley Williams presents her audience with a brand new style of music. It is true, something similar began happening in the last 2 albuns of Paramore but now, more than ever, we trully see the potential Hayley carries. Masterpiece.

May 16, 2020melhor album do ano juntamente com o how im feeling now e sawayama
-
May 16, 2020Best album of 2020 and it is love at first sight.
There are just perfect songs in this one -
May 15, 2020so good, so honest, all dongs are cohesively added up. miss williams setting bars and being a artist for herself and not for industry.
-
May 14, 2020It's Hayley's inner emotions on tracks
Ya'll should watch her interview with Zane Lowe on youtube about this album. She went through a lot of crap growing up and this album is putting up a mirror to some of the reflecting she had to do in therapy. It's a pretty musically honest presentation of a side of her she hasn't felt comfortable sharing in the past. An eclectic and real project. -
May 13, 2020the way she misconstructed and redefined what it meant to convey and obtain the concupiscent anomalistic clearance showing us that idiosyncratic is ebulliently inevitable while simultaneously substantiating the superiority of women

May 11, 2020An absolute triumph for Williams’ first go at a solo project. This album is a major departure from Paramore’s signature sound, but Hayley Williams has never been so vulnerable and raw with each and every song being a window into her most personal moments. Paramore fans and non-Paramore fans will find something in this album and it is one that will last a lifetime.

-
May 10, 2020amei demais, letras profundas e produção impecável, um debut perfeito para uma artista tão talentosa.
-
May 10, 2020Pretty much perfection throughout. From the stellar production from Taylor York and the incredible writing and vocals from Ms. Williams herself that rivets throughout every beautiful and catchy track it's hard not to love this. If you're a paramore fan, pop fan, or music fan you'll love this record.
-
May 10, 2020Waoo Hayley you never disappoint, this album is everything, simmer, dead horse, why we ever, my friend, This are just of my fav but is very hard when you love the full album, when u like every single track of an album just know that, that’s your artist, that’s your style and Hayley represents mine perfectly, thank you!!!!!

May 10, 2020sonically, lyrically, the most impressive work the music industry has seen in a minute.
-
May 10, 2020Excellent different tunes on each song, and lyrics that cut to the down. Just wow!
-
May 10, 2020A beautiful album with themes/symbolism of womanhood, depression, past marriage, flowers, love and a direct focus towards an unknown yet exciting future.
-
May 10, 2020
-
May 10, 2020A deeply personal passion project. A lot to draw from for those familiar with Hayley and Paramore, though the versality showcased opens this up to new fans. 9.5
-
May 10, 2020A journey from her failed marriage to her actual sentimental situation. Writing mature and defines her own style as an artist.
-
May 10, 2020a classic. a literal classic. hayley williams is a cultural icon who has been slept on for far too long. let’s give her the noise she deserves.
-
May 10, 2020‘Petals For Armor’ is a surprising listen, and not regarding the quality of the songs, Williams, and co. have proven their worth time and time again in that regard, rather in its scope and confidence.
-
May 10, 2020The Paramore singer’s excellent solo debut is full of feminine imagery and dance music textures that evoke diverse influences from Björk and Janet Jackson
-
May 10, 2020
-
May 10, 2020Only Dead Horse appealed to me in this album. Rest of it was very mediocre, repetitive and forgetful. A very honest album, but she has written better.

-
May 9, 2020Goddamn what a good album! Everything from the roll out to the music was perfect. Hayley's musical range really shines through here. Outstanding tracks in my opinion include Dead Horse, Cinnamon, and Simmer.
-
May 9, 2020In my opinion this is much better as whole when the songs feel the most in context. hayley has gone through a lot more than anyone could’ve known and she’s since wielded her pain and apprehension into a beautiful expression of recovery and affirmation. she discovers herself and thanks to the layout of the album this is a process we get to witness in real time. also hi kazi.
-
May 9, 2020Esse não é um álbum de paramore porque Hayley se expressa de maneira diferente. É mais pessoal, mais livre musicalmente, é feminino e MUITO sincero. Nesse álbum ela até fala sobre coisas que eram segredos para ela, como isso poderia não ser um álbum só dela? TEVE que ser só dela, e ficou lindo, coeso e perfeito.
-
May 9, 2020perfeito, coerente, lindo, a hayley nunca erra.
todas as músicas coesas e profundas. -
May 9, 2020I love Hayley Williams, but some portions of the album definitely required a couple listens before I got to really enjoy them.
-
May 9, 2020Boring with a few decent tracks but overall still disappointing to listen to,
-
May 9, 2020El mejor álbum de una artista en solitario de este año, su fuerza en cada una de las canciones li hace magnífico, las melodías y el concepto en general del album demuestras la excelente calidad musical de Hayley
-
May 9, 2020Such a fun album to listen to!!! Hayley really delivers some of her best vocals and lyrics in this album, and the production by Taylor York is fantastic. My favorite tracks are Simmer, Sudden Desire, Roses/Lotus/Violet/Iris, Why We Ever, Pure Love and Crystal Clear.
-

-
May 8, 2020Totalmente perfeito , emocionante , as músicas conseguem passar uma mensagem importante
-
May 8, 2020Melhor album de 2020 por enquanto. Entregou tudo de forma equilibrada: vocais impecáveis e não explorados em Paramore, agora evidenciados. Composições intimistas e autênticas. Album sem intenções comerciais e isso fica nítido pela produção focada em qualidade musical e conceito ao passar uma mensagem com as músicas. Nota 11
-
May 8, 2020It’s awesome to hear that beautiful masterpiece called petals for armor, I’m so proud of her as a fan. Give a chance to hear it.
-
May 8, 2020Best album of 2020 so far! It's sort of a jazz-funk album with bits of pop and rock mixed in.
-
May 8, 2020A honest, intimate, innovative and creative album. It tells us a history with vocals used in a creative way. Hayley showed us what she has and a lot more. I loved it.
-
May 8, 2020Boring and uninspired and a lot less interesting than her other works from her band Paramore. Not worth listening to, better off skipping this one
-
May 8, 2020This album shows Williams' power and resilience through beautiful melodies and interesting experimental noises never done by her before. Highlights of the album include "Pure Love" and "Dead Horse". Easily the best album put out this year thus far.

Awards & Rankings
-
Aug 3, 2020An overarching concern on Petals… is how Williams constructs a workable new femininity free from her old tomboy identity in Paramore. The blooming metaphor is, as a result, slightly overplayed throughout. ... Although there are a couple of low-key co-writes, Williams and York remain the organising creatives, and Williams sounds both free and in control.
-
May 15, 2020This is a record which feels familiar and safely experimental, while Williams reveals more of herself than ever before. Just exactly who that is isn’t yet certain, and where she’ll go from here is anyone’s guess, but it’s sure to be interesting.
-
May 13, 2020Petals for Armor succeeds best at sustaining a mood throughout, capturing the chaotic ups and downs of depression. Some moments are sugary sweet, while others are biting and angry, but the album keeps things healthy by switching between infectious pop tunes and mellow art-pop parts.
