    An unbelievably bad debut album with uncomprehended sober vocals. Pop is dead in this regard. This "art piece" won 2 Grammy Awards for 2019.

Some of the sober moments of the album don't even stick out, don't get me wrong I like two Billie Eilish song, yes, two songs; I only like "everything i wanted" and "lovely (feat. Khalid)". !!Those songs aren't in the album!! 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

    in all honesty this is one of the best albums I’ve ever listened to. its an emotional roller coaster from start to finish and it actually tells a story. its a very coherent album as well because from the start it has a specific feel but as you go through the tracks the story keeps going and the feel of the album changes as well. love this album, will never get enough of it.

This album's hauntingly playful compositional depth and engaging lyricism set it apart from its contemporaries and many of its predecessors.

    The lyrical depth of every track begs for our engagement. It has the magnetism that keeps you in your car before going into the grocery store, listening to track over track, teasing out all the levels of meaning in each stanza. All the while, you are trying to wrap your head around the idea that a 17 year and her older brother wrote, performed and recorded this album in her bedroom! The music elucidates truths people in their 40s have yet to discover.

    The lyrics grab us, but the acoustical complexity and wholly original arrangements keep us in that car. The arrangements feature melodic beats, samples from The Office and crosswalk beepers and Billie's laughter, all perfectly orchestrated together with Billie's beautiful vocals and expressive intonation.

    There isn't a single bad track on the album. Putting this album on repeat is a truly great way to spend an afternoon.    … Expand

    Um dos meus álbuns favoritos. Billie Eilish e seu irmão, Finneas, criaram um álbum consistente e muito diversificado - você pode rir com "bad guy", dançar com "my strange addiction", sentir medo com "bury a friend" e se afogar em suas próprias lágrimas com, provavelmente, a faixa mais triste do álbum: "listen before i go".

    The highs are thrilling, and despite their obvious pedigree, arranged unlike anything else in contemporary pop. They also reveal the lows more starkly: the saccharine, coyly suggestive 8, played on a ukulele, and I Love You, which sounds suspiciously like Hallelujah, are better off left to YouTube ingenues than an artist of Eilish’s otherwise clear vision.

The songwriting is great and the album has a variety from bops such as bad guy to ballads like when the party's over. Every track is obviously different but it's still a cohesive body of work.

    The production is curated by Finneas, is quietly perfect, there's no over-produced song, even if it sounds at a first hearing, the treatment of every production is flawless and shows how much a single person can do in a bedroom.
    In general is a great album, I listen to this on repeat every day and never get bored, every time I listen to this album, I discover new layers, new production and vocals hidden on the background that I never heard; impressive.
