Almost two weeks ago, (on Valentine’s Day), singer not-songwriter Justin Bieber released his sixth original studio album. It was very bad, and it’s hard to say much about it. While making quite a few atrocious pieces of “music” as a younger child, there were a few songs that are now considered pop classics from his last album Purpose. I agree with this; while wildly overplayed, his hit single “Love Yourself” was quite a decent song to its core. There’s no questioning the fact that Justin Bieber is a horrible, horrible man, but I feel like if he pulled it together a little bit, he’d have the ability to whip up a genuinely good record. He hyped this record up recently before the release of its main single “Yummy”. He claimed he’d gone on a “spiritual journey” for the past five years in his hiatus of making music, and was ready to put out his best album yet; a truly great masterpiece. Though, as one may expect after hearing a single song from this burning pile of garbage, it is not at all a masterpiece. It has no charm, and could easily be considered his worst album yet. In my opinion, it certainly is. All of his older childhood albums had a certain feel to them of just this kid being stupid and used for his lack of musical ability, but his songs had a certain nostalgia to them. Or at least they do now. While that may seem like the album would sound bad, the albums did emerge as child-star classics. This album, though, is an overproduced, terribly-written piece of garbage, with not one, but ZERO good songs on the entire thing. I gave Selena Gomez’s latest album “Rare” a 1.5 out of 10 because “Lose You To Love Me” is a genuinely good song. Though, there isn’t one good song on this entire thing. If I had to choose a favorite track, it would be “E.T.A.”, because the guitar riff isn’t terrible, and the lyrics and vocals in general aren’t too annoying or aggravating. That being said, if I could, I’d say my least favorite tracks are EVERYTHING ELSE.
