    I loved the album. Definitely a drag set of songs from the rather stereotyped love songs. Also the gender neutral lyrics are awesome.

    Truly a spectacular debut album, sound fresh that captures Louis' essence, mixes of indie pop and ballads, great lyrics that feels really honest accompanied of Tomlinson's sweet gentle marshmallow voice. And the last track might be the best of the album too. One of my favs to date!

    Walls is one of the best albums i’ve heard. None of the songs are skip songs and even the sad songs are still bangers along with the real bangers. Louis has covered so many topics and has/will help so many people with his music. It has to be a 10/10 he hit #1 in 50 countries, i think that means people like it a lot

    It's totally different of what you'd expect of a ex 1d member, the lyrics are so perfectly wrote as if every song was a different life with different feelings and the sound is so organic that you'll never get tired of it. If you want something natural and from a kind heart this is your best option.

    It's an amazing debut from a truly talented artist! His voice is very distinctive & beautiful & it adds a lot of emotions to songs when needed, especially on the inspiring and relatable Walls, Don't Let It Break Your Heart, Two Of Us, & Only the Brave.

But he is also able to do Brit pop anthems like Kill My Mind, which are more suited to his power side. His newfound confidence in finding the music he is best suited for is evident in how comfortable he sounds. His songwriting skills shine throughout, but my personal favorites are Don't Let It Break Your Heart, Walls, & Habit, as they can be related to by a number of different circumstances or situations not just those relationship songs. And, of course, I can't forget Two Of Us, which is such a moving tribute to his mother & will mean so much to people who have lost someone they care about. As with all of his songs, they are all infused with a positive spirit & a ton of strength; two things that characterize Louis & his lyrics. While the super specific love songs were a little less relatable, they were still also well-written & still far better than the generic songs they play on the radio. Hard to believe this is only the beginning for him! He has grown so much in the past few years & if he starts out this well, I can't imagine how far he can go in the future! I can't wait to see what else he has in store for the music industry & his fans, both his current fanbase & the tons he will surely gain with music like this!… Expand

    Beautiful album. Not trying to chase chart success just being his authentic self. Walls, Always you and Defenceless are standout songs. Just a shame reviewers wanted a chart chaser.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Louis Tomlinson’s debut album has been a long time coming, but “Walls” was definitely worth the wait. From the energetic, rock-driven “Kill My Mind” to the soulful (yet heartbreakingly short) “Only the Brave”, Tomlinson takes his audience on an emotional journey about heartbreak and strength and rekindled love. The singer found his place in One Direction as an active songwriter, penning thirty seven songs in the band’s discography. Tomlinson certainly proves he has earned his stripes as a songwriter with lines like “nothing wakes you up like waking up alone//nothing makes you hurt like hurting who you love” (“Walls”) and “we’re sleeping on our problems like we’ll solve them in our dreams/we wake up early morning and they’re still under the sheets” (“Defenceless”). Children’s voices can be heard at the beginning and closing of “Fearless”, adding a sweet, innocent tone to a rather honest song. Tomlinson also shows his versatility as a singer with a wide vocal range and a few astounding high notes. This album is definitely worth the listen. It will be exciting to see what Tomlinson does with this album and the next.… Expand

When listening to the album, starting with the track Kill My Mind bringing some Indie-rock sound, there is a little surprise to be a totally different sound from where he was previously known but at the same time not so much because the song sounds generic compared to others on today's industry. The lyrics It's on your head but after listening to for the fourth or not even the third time, you just can't anymore.

    Moving on to the next ones – note that I had to repeat a few more than others – Throughout the album you come across songs such as Don't Let It Break Your Heart, Two Of Us and Fearless. These three records carry one special feeling: they're nostalgically capable of reminding you of some moment in your life. Being them good or bad you may identify with the lyrics of any of these.
    I also believe that they are timeless so I would not be surprised if beyond the mostly young public there might be adults believers of the words spoken in this trinity. *Not that the rest of the songs are bad. I only highlighted those who aroused my curiosity

    On final words; I say I'm glad I heard this album. It is highly recommended if you're searching for honesty, overcoming themed songs & clarity. Louis knew how to express himself and did it beautifully, lyrically speaking. Without fighting, I'd listen to Walls again.    … Expand

Another good point in Louis’ favor is his voice: I hardly ever get to connect to someone’s voice, to feel the emotions they are trying to share.. it always happens with Louis’ voice, every note hits the right spot in your heart. This album is a must for anyone who knows about love, pain, loss, happiness.. all merged with beautiful words and melodies. Good choice on the album title, “Walls”, following the idea of breaking down walls... as in breaking down walls of “men can’t be seen as vulnerable” too.

    The album really has something hidden deep down, like the best composition and pleasant sounds at the median level maybe it didn't know how to work hard and until some loose songs are better than some of the album. But it brings a 90's vibe, and fits perfectly in your voice and that's spectacular. It was a good launch, but I hope a lot further forward.

    Its a good album, but i would like him to use the Miss You vibe with the Kill My Mind vibe but is good and way better than LP1 by Liam Payne

    I thought his whole album would be heard like the boy band ones, but it has some different songs with really good lyrics, I liked most of them

    You can say whatever you want, but this album has helped me and so many people that i can't see it like nothing but a piece of art, Louis did his very best and this time, he didn't care about anything and that's why i loved it

    One of the best albums up to date. The sound that Louis Tomlinson takes on is different compare to today's generic same cord sound. Its melody that haves more then one sound sets on the album. Giving each song a different feeling and with a different story line. Dispite what people say, it's one of the best.

    I was very pleasantly surprised with this album. It sounds really amazing and Louis' voice has a beautiful tone that's nice to listen to. The lyrics are incredible and I can tell they are very honest and authentic. He has really distinguished himself as a solo artist and there is not a single skip on the whole album. Every song carries emotional weight and is great to listen to.

I love how honest this album is and has a story for each songs that listeners can always relate to somehow. This album showcases Louis' incredible songwriting skills and amazing vocals in which we didnt get to see back when he was in 1D. Hoping to see more people listen to him and see how anNo skips at all. Walls is truly a masterpiece and we can clearly see how hard Louis worked on this.

    This album is honest and beautiful, it has no skips and Louis' voice sounds amazing. It's mostly acoustic which sounds great, it's an amazing album and doesn't deserve the hate it gets.

    This album is remarkable for the sincere and poetry lyrics. The voice of the singer, Louis Tomlinson is the highlight. Without having to do a falsetto, he can reach notes no other male singer can, it is outrageous and beautiful in an indescriptible way and I hope to see more of this young man.

    we were waiting for this album for so long and two of us was really sad knowing about what happened on his family... he put his heart on the lyrics and the songs have really good sound I really love it, I've never hear something like this, hope to see more about him!

    Try as he may, Tomlinson has not quite progressed from featured voice to solo artist. For all the major changes in his life, his music seems to be stuck in place. You can take the boy out of the boyband, but not the boyband out of the boy.

    Solo debuts with this much expectation are incredible challenges. While “Walls” isn’t a craven ripoff or an attempt to recapture One Direction highs, it’s not yet clear exactly who Tomlinson is without them.

    Even if the songs on Walls aren't the most distinct or memorable, they come from a place of authenticity that's genuinely heartwarming and enjoyable. Like any other settled adult, he's perfectly content to stick to the reliable and Walls winds up being the most mature and natural of the ex-1D bunch.
