    I have refused a lot to hear it, but if I want to criticize it, I have to hear it. I will not deny that it has a very good production, with great quality, but it is useless if your voice is so dull and boring. When I heard "Bad Guy" it was perfect, but when she sings she does **** it would sound much better if it were only instrumental. Her singing, well, her whispers are so exasperating,I have refused a lot to hear it, but if I want to criticize it, I have to hear it.

When I heard "Bad Guy" it was perfect, but when she sings she does **** it would sound much better if it were only instrumental. Her singing, well, her whispers are so exasperating, only Selena Gomez can forgive her, but lately she has also made pure garbage. Billie Eilish brings nothing but her whispers and "super weird" lyrics for a 17-year-old girl, she does not use great technique or effort to sing if she could be said to sing, she sounds totally like Lorde in Pure Heroine but without soul. As it is possible that the music sounds much louder than the voice, it is incredible how flat and boring it is, those effects that it uses in its voice are exasperating and annoying, it is noted that it is the only resource that it has to use because it does not have a great voice or that is the image you want to give. It was like 40 minutes underwater and I was not wrong to think that this was going to be a tremendous bore.… Expand

    The entire album feels like she's trying too hard. Her "I'm emo" aesthetic, mediocre lyrics and non-existent vocals make the album unlistenable. Interscope's push for her into mainstream music is pathetic. If only her label pushed their real artists.

    Most boring album of all time. Trying too hard to sound different, it’s not working. This is utterly bad I don’t know what else to say. People are forcing themselves into believing they like this because it makes them feel special. They’re not.

    Billie wears her abominable behavior proudly on her sleeve, with creeping vocalizer effects and brooding bass. Perhaps it would work if her rise to fame was more organic. It's hard not to hear the boardroom of old, white executives at Interscope snickering as they unleash this cacophony onto the masses. Maybe it's time they stop trying to give youth culture a hellish ethos and just retire already.

    The intention is clear, as creepy and hysterical sounds are forcefully put with soft music, that Billie and her brother are just trying to copy Lana Del Rey or Melanie Martinez because they think it would be a good formula to gain success in alternative. The ghosty look of the album cover and all non-capital song titles also prove how bad Billie is trying to look artistic and cool.

To me, it just sounds like dead and lifeless music stiffly stay in the same pattern for the whole album. The music is the same old sad slow song, with low volume and high pitch, but really doesn't offer good melodies and aesthetic values. Unlike Lorde and Lana Del Rey, who people compare her with, Ellie is a rip off version who doesn't know how to write songs with passion nor meaningful lyrics.… Expand

    All my friends hate Billie Eilish. I didn’t want to reach that same conclusion without listening to her work, so I gave her only album a listen. I was expecting it to be absolutely awful, and those expectations were mostly met. I didn’t like how dark a lot of her songs were—and it’s sad to think that’s what the world enjoys now—the lyrics to some songs weren’t that creative, and some of them use the awful, annoying, and generic electronic drum tracks. Plus, the way she vibratos her voice can be really hard to listen to. On the other hand, I did enjoy the upbeatness of some tracks and I enjoyed the loud and creative bass, but neither of those things are able to save this album from disaster, unfortunately. It’s such a shame Bad Guy turned into a generic mumble rap song in its finale, I really liked the first 75% of it. Bottom line, while I did not quite think this was as bad as it could’ve been, I’m not sure that I would call some of her songs from WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO? music. Highlights: none :(    … Expand

    There are few good songs, but not good enough to make this album anything but decent. Lows are low, and highs are mediocre. Hype around her public persona will make this album comercially successful, but Billie fails to make anything intresting.

Someone who unironically listens to this from start and finish and says "Omg this is amazing and definitely deserves an album of the year and a pop vocal album of the year", Bad guy also won 2 Grammy Awards and Billie became the best new artist. Without talking about crooked Grammies anymore I wanna touch on the subject of the album once more. The title is definitely one of the worst ever, not even being likeable to the listener because it's not presented as more than a stupid teenage project. The track xanny and all the good girls go to hell are great examples of oddly bad instrumentals. all the good girls also features annoying chatter, random sayings at the end. The opening is also very bad before the lead track comes in. It's non-inspiring title is "!!!!!!!". Every good producer would've hated this project. I feel like this is a project that was pulled by Billie and Finneas who brought everyone else involved in it with their bad ideas to the very deadline and made it very **** There's nothing intriguing about it and I am glad it's completely dead by now… Expand

    When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go? is a startlingly good introduction to Billie Eilish, an album full of attitude but with the talent to back it up. Where she goes from here will be fascinating to see.
