Jun 17, 2015One of my favourite debuts. Her vocals are amazing and the stories she tells are captivating and catchy. I see a strong future ahead for her.
Must listen: Pierre, Travelling Song, New Constellations. -
Aug 14, 2015Great album and I love the production.Trolls are keeping messing with the overall rating but hey some people don't give a damn about it.Beautiful voice.
-
Aug 9, 2015Beautiful album, I met Ryn herself and she was amazing she's a very beautiful and talented girl. This album is everything and very distinct. Possibly the best album of the year.
-
Jun 17, 2015Unique But Very Beautiful. From weave snatching masterpieces like Pierre, Octahate, The Fool, to gloomy ballad-esque like traveling song, this album will snatch your weave and leave you hairless.
-
Jun 17, 2015Truly a genius and strong debut album. From start to finish the production by Mr Blanco is beautiful but the outstanding part are Weaver's vibratos and the way her voice and cinematographic lyrics dance around the album telling you the whole story. diversity from strong pop songs like "OctaHate" and "Pierre" to also storng Ballads like "Here is Home" and "Traveling Song, I'd 100% recommend.

Jun 17, 2015Since I've actually HEARD the album, I'm happy to report that it's a pleasurable listen. Such a strong voice vibrates rhythmically in the ears. The lyrics are stellar and the production is breathtaking when played on good speakers. It's a shame that teenagers with nothing better to do cannot appreciate good music. These people have no lives

Jun 17, 2015Honestly, I think this is one of the best albums to ever been released this year. Pierre, an standout track and also a fan favorite is a wondrous song with amazing lyrics and incredible production. Other songs, such as Traveling Song are wonderfully written. Can't wait to hear more from Ryn.

Jun 17, 2015the fool is an amazing album it's sad that trolls want to mess something like this up. Highlights are Pierre, Free, OctaHate, and New Constellations. The synths and huge sound on Free make it feel timeless and simply beautiful. Thank you so much for your storytelling and music Ryn you are a strong hearted woman

Jun 17, 2015Juan From Norwalk approves this album. His approval is the only approval this album needs. The Fool is a mixture of sounds that harmoniously dance together in a majestic manner.
-
Jun 17, 2015Ryn is amazing. If you thought OctaHate was great, then you'll love the rest of the album. My personal favorites, other than OctaHate, include Pierre, Stay Low, and Traveling Song.

Jun 17, 2015Magnificent! That's all i have to say. Ryn takes us to a whole another dimension with her indiepop inspired album and her angelic vocals. Each song is well written and produced. You can totally see her work through the music. Also a lot of feelings which is good. She's very open about it! You rock girl!

Jun 17, 2015An absolute masterpiece. Everyone should just start handing over their GRAMMYs now. xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Jun 18, 2015This album is everything to me, because i wrote most of the songs on it. And i say to Katyhunty to f*ck away because look around. I'm an artist and you are NOTHING! So i will rate MY album 10/10. Be mad.
-
Sep 23, 2015Just a great debut, amazing job! Her voice is fantastic, I heard vocals blessed in this album. Probably one of the best albums of 2015, brilliant singer and songwriter, Ryn was a great discovery... I really loved.
-
Oct 23, 2015I don't understand the hate here. You didn't hate Marina when her songs had those meaningful lyrics, but when it came to Ryn, you hated her for that. Why????? I don't see the logic in it. She made a great album, from upbeat songs like Pierre, Octahate, to calm songs like Traveling Song and Here Is Home.

May 12, 2016A perfect, deep concept to the album. It sends you through a range of emotions with the mix of sounds on the album. Matched with stunning vocals. With the lead single Octahate leading this album with a strong force and then the soft additions like The Fool or Traveling Song. Really amazing album. Looking forward to upcoming stuff from her.
-
May 26, 2016The Fool is an excellent album and one of the best albums of 2015. This album does a great job of showcasing Ryn's vocals with wonderful lyrics. Some of the highlights of the album are Pierre, Travelling Song, and The Fool.

Jun 28, 2016ENFIA ESSA NOTA BOSTA NO CU DE VOCÊS COMO É QUE VOCÊS PODEM DAR UMA NOTA DESSAS PRA ESSA BÍBLIA QUE SÓ TEM HINOS EVANGÉLICOS PAZ FILHOS DA PUTA VAI SE FUDE

Jul 16, 2016Ryn Weaver is a very talented (but unfortunately underrated) and truly honest artist, i love her songs so much and her voice is amazing, all of the songs of this album affects me in a different way, can't wait for her second realease.
-
Dec 20, 2015After all, "The Fool" is just a "good" album. We can see a story by looking deeply trough the lyrics and instrumentals, but Ryn needs to decide the path she's going to follow. In the end, she can't have all she's trying to get with this record.

Jun 27, 2015Her style is too much rambling and inconclusive. Anyway there are some good pop songs and also some good alternative songs. They just don't fit each other.
-
Jul 23, 2016This is just... not a good album. OctaHate and Sail On are pretty good songs, but the rest are very average. Ryn sounds a lot like Sara Bareilles, but that quivering thing she does with her voice is really annoying. I understand she's a talented vocalist and some people like they way she sings, but I find it irritating. Anyway, this was a pretty disappointing album. Not much else to say.
-
Aug 25, 2022Instead of utilizing the talented crew’s many particular strengths to create a unique and unified sound, The Fool comes out feeling like nobody in particular and everyone at once.
-
Sep 1, 2015Drivel, garbage, terrible, trash, nasty, ugly, vile, I can keep going on. OctaHate is really something special. It really is. But I wish it was the only song that actually made it out of the studio and onto the album....

Jun 17, 2015After hearing the single Octahate I was quite excited for Ryn's debut album, I think we were all expecting something great. But sadly, The Fool isn't what we call excellent. The album is filled with fillers and the songs have awful production. It ranges from awful songs like Runaway to terrible songs like The Fool

Jun 17, 2015Hate to sound awful, but this album might be one of the worst albums of all time. It has nothing going for it. Even the rendition of the title track "The Fool" had poor production. I am embarrassed To even have this on my phone. The vocals are weak and the production sounds as bad as Kids Bop. Don't waste your time. I recommend Beyonce's self titled album. A much better album enjoy.
-
Jun 17, 2015If this passes as music today, I'm afraid of the future. This is some of the worst drivel I've ever heard. If you heard one song on this album, you practically can say you heard them all. Octahate is stuck in my head and that's not a good thing at all. I'm pretty sure the critics are either paid off or they have no taste in music because a 4.0 is TOO much for this PILE of FILTH.
-
Jun 17, 2015This album is simply atrocious; I could talk about how awful and terrible this album is, but the maximum account of characters that can be used in this review is 5000, and that is definitely not enough to describe this chaotic album.
-
Jun 17, 2015I was so excited for this album, constantly expressing on my Twitter that it would sell out everyones faves and be the summer anthem but in actual fact this album is absolute trash, and I don't even like this lady. It is the worst album of the year, ARTFLOP which flopped pretty hard is even better than this garbage.
-
Jun 17, 2015hey metacritic i think you guys need to update the scores because even giving this piece of **** album a 0 is already too high. i am laughing at how bad this album is. LAUGHING.
-
Jun 17, 2015this so called 'art' is nothing but filth. her vocals are atrocious and her lyrics are corny. I honestly feel sorry for all the producers, engineers, mixers and everyone that participated and wasted their time in the creation of this album. I would rather listen to ARTPOP.
-
Jun 17, 2015I guess 'indie' is the new excuse when a debut album flops and is full of pathetic attempts of 'good' music. Ryn weaver tried so hard to make songs like Octahate that the whole album sounds the same, her music is just noises and her voice is basic and flat.

Jun 20, 2015Horrible. This album is just a full-length HEADACHE, not an album. I used to stan for her on Twitter because of the bop Octahate, but obviously her style of music changed since then. Garbage. Atrocious vocals, she wants to be a folk singer so bad. Do NOT buy this.
-
Jun 20, 2015People call this garbage music? I'm losing faith in humanity. She sounds like a goat and her vocals are not good at all. This will be her first & last album. She's over.
-
Aug 28, 2015This is album is unholy. The writing is as complex as a Dr.Suess book. The production sounds like it was made on a 3 dollar mac program. Ryn vocals sounds like a dying cow. It was a displeasure from start to finish.

Awards & Rankings

Sep 3, 2015At times, as on Free, there’s a danger of things crossing into the formulaic big-pop sound the Mumfords have spread through the charts. But more often, these songs – written with Passion Pit’s Michael Angelakos among others--are imbued with enough subtle strangeness to remain beguiling.
-
Aug 25, 2015The Fool is full of promise, and though it just barely misses the mark as far as greatness is concerned, Weaver’s established that she’s on the right track for deserved potential superstardom.
-
Jun 30, 2015The biggest highlights on The Fool ("Here Is Home") balance both of those instincts, tempering folky ache with subtle, twinkly beats.
