Hypersonic Missiles isn’t just a collection of songs from a talented young man, it’s an education for anyone who wants to know the confusing reality of life in Great Britain in 2019 when you haven’t been handed everything on a plate.
Taken altogether, Hypersonic Missiles is smart, passionate, and loaded with rock-solid anthems that surpass the "promising" designation.
Hypersonic Missiles gives the impression of being the first, highly-impressive step in what promises to be a long career for Fender, but just as importantly, the album’s breakthrough success will hopefully shine a spotlight on a local music scene ripe for exploration.
Though the upstart British songwriter is a capable storyteller when he zeroes on a single topic, his debut is only intermittently transcendent.
after gradually getting used to sam fender’s distinguished style, one realizes his true talent.
he’s got a soulful wit that shows in his songwriting and performances.
the production, as well, is sharp
I love Hypersonic Missiles and understand why it's the biggest song to come off of this album but 'The Borders', 'Dead Boys' and 'Will We Talk?' are all clear for me
This album is fantastic in what it's saying and how it musically conveys that, just also honestly my favourite album lol
an amazing talent and definitely has some songs i will continue to come back to, i think this is an album that grows the more you listen to it
