Stunning.
Breathtaking vocals, flawless production, and a wonderful tracklisting. This album turned me from a sceptic to a believer. I also have no doubt that this album will be huge, maybe even more than her last album. This is such a mature turn for Billie. I was not a fan of the fantasy, edgy stuff on her last project. I am a fan of nearly every single idea on this new one, down to the spoken word interlude of Not My Responsibility, to the most intense corners of this project. Billie is on ... read more
It was obvious from the beginning that Billie Eilish's new album "Happier Than Ever" would be significantly more mature than her previous works. You could see this in the name, the cover art, and some of the singles. I've been excited to see this progression of her, and I can say that it is definitely rewarding. This new album, in my opinion, is absolutely better than her debut (and by quite a large margin). It is much more atmospheric, experimental, and memorable. It feels like the ... read more
On Happier Than Ever, Billie expands and refines her formula, giving it a bigger dimension than in the past. Thematically, this new album is overwhelming, urgent and poignant, showing all the will of its author to break the codes of the Pop.
The interest of the music industry for very young talents has always existed. So has the self-taught development of this type of artist. However, the case of Billie Eilish is to be classified among the exceptions, as out of the ordinary. Whether you like ... read more
Billie Eilish’s explosion onto the music scene is unique in a way that is comparable to basically no one, being immediately loved by mainstream listeners, indieheads, alt-kids, and the music industry/award shows at large. She essentially received the level of fame one would expect of a Justin Bieber type while still having some sort of “cred” from music nerds (at least the ones that don’t hate women with dyed hair). So after sweeping the Grammy’s and the love of ... read more
A young artist that may be underestimated finally emerging into herself as a musician, curating a new and improved style for herself. Ridiculed online for a disappointing era in her newfound spotty discography, against all odds, ‘Happier Than Ever’ delivers on Eilish’s best project yet and shows even more promise than her debut.
Coming off of a melodramatic electropop, alternative R&B debut, Billie Eilish is now back with her sophomore release, “Happier Than ... read more
Wow. This definitely exceeded my expectations. I really liked her debut, but in my opinion this is an improvement in almost every aspect. It's more mature and experimental, the production and songwriting are fantastic, and this album has some of her best songs ever.
Billie Eilish isn't just a new girl in the block, after some years she became a new generation icon.
Well, still till this day I can't believe she did all those things in so little time. We've seen her grow into this very interesting artist & young woman, from the empty desert of bellyache till the "grown up" music video where she's partying with girlfriend laughing and just celebrating her success. In this little time she won the biggest award of music (AOTY) on the grammys but ... read more
You guess you could say...I could be happier.
If you want the too long didn’t read version of this review, then here you go: I feel like this record is both a improvement on maturity and lyrical content but a downgrade on a musical front, and while I’m probably not going to be coming back to this record as a whole, there are some true highlights that make this album at the very least worth one listen.
But, for those who want the long version...let me take you back for a second.
I ... read more
'Happier Than Ever' is Billlie Eilish's second studio album, being an excellent album as the path she took for this album was one that I was not expecting at all as the entire album felt so much more experimental that I expected, not being the bland experience I expected but an exciting journey filled with twists and turns at every corner as I never could see what was coming next. The way that Billie and FINNEAS connected on this album was fascinating as they show why they may end up as one of ... read more
I'm going to remind you in advance that I'm very sorry and I apologize...
For the inconvenience of me NOT GIVING A FUCK
what you think
Chill, chill, I'm just joking. The first Billie Eilish review is the only review that is over the line for me and deserves an apology. That one just went a little too vile, you know? I just wouldn't write a review like that now. I was having a terrible day and that album made me feel even worse and genuinely pissed me off that it was so highly rated, and ... read more
This album means a lot to me. I first listened to it at a really low point in my life and it just spoke to me. Tracks like My Future, Getting Older, and Your Power are stunningly beautiful. Songs like Not My Responsibility/Over Heated and Happier than Ever are extremely powerful song and the song Male Fantasy at the end of the album is the perfect way to cap it all off. I love the genre of Bossa Nova and on her track Billie Bossa Nova she blends her own sound with stylings of the genre ... read more
Look, this album is a whole mess, but the content is undeniably good. I’ve been a fan of Billie since she dropped her debut EP in 2017 and it’s been crazy to watch her become this superstar that she currently is because everything happened so quickly. I remember that a few months before her debut album dropped she was still seen as this “new alternative teenage girl” and it was so surprising to me how literally the day it came out she suddenly became this huge phenomenon ... read more
Speechless. I was not fucking prepared for “Happier Than Ever” and “Male Fantasy” at the end. Holy fucking shit.
Ok, so my rating definitely doesn’t reflect this, but this is the best pop album experience I’ve had in a hot minute. Let's briefly break it down.
For me, the most striking component of this album is just how much more mature Billie has become as an artist compared to her debut. Yes, I really liked “When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We ... read more
"Happier Than Ever" is the second studio album by the artist of the moment Billie Eilish, and we can say that the result really made me happier than ever. The singer has been targeted by the public eye since the beginning of her career, whether by people who love her or people who hate her as a result of her winning the Big Four at the Grammys, the particularity of her voice and style that's not common in the music industry and her quick rise to stardom. In the opening track ... read more
Apesar de ter gostado da maioria dos singles, as escolhas destes foram um pouco duvidosas e por isso achava que o disco seria bem fraco comparado com o seu debut, porém parece que Billie apenas escolheu os singles errados, pois este é um ótimo, coeso e bem feito álbum, provavelmente um dos melhores álbuns pop do ano.
O álbum começa com a simples, mas bela, "Getting Older", com bons vocais e letras. "I Didn't Change My ... read more
Yes queen, im finally happier than ever, because i fully get this album.
And also Brad loving this is still most suprising thing with his music opinions.
[Billie Eilish'es discography ranking 3/3]
( Original Review and rating 82 > 91 >100 )
Second album from Billie is more colourful and poppier. Billie shows new styles for her. She jumps to R&B and Rock !!!! Production from FINNEAS is the biggest highlight on this project and fits Billie's voice perfectly. But there is some ... read more
The album is pretty good, but for God's sake someone give this girl a smoothie, she needs to get some sun.
Very mild improvement? I guess?
On Billie's debut, I found myself rather frustrated at points due to the complete inconsistency in quality across the tracks. However, there's one thing that record confirmed to me: this girl has potential. She will make a great fucking album in the future. Now that her sophomore is here, sadly I do not think this is the record I had been hoping for. She still has a problem with not trimming the fat (seriously, this doesn't need to be 56 minutes long) and having ... read more
Growth.
This is what this album represents.
This is such a mature follow-up to her very edgy debut from 2 years ago and I am honestly here for it. While I did enjoy a handful of tracks on her last album, tracks like "my future" and "Your Power" some of Billie's best and most emotionally powerful songs in her entire catalog. Also, the production on here is soooooo gooood, FINNEAS fucking killed this album, especially with "Oxytocin" and "NDA". Also, that ... read more
WOW!! What a step up in quality from her debut, this is impressive as hell.
Now even though I've heard this album almost in full prior to listening to Billie's massive debut When We All Fall Asleep Where Do We Go, hearing that album first then going into this made Happier Than Ever a 10x more satisfying experience and one of the best modern sophomore albums I've heard in awhile. All my complaints from her first album are gone, this album isn't edgy at all. It's introspective, personal, ... read more
Após toda a aclamação de seu primeiro álbum, Billie volta ao estúdio com seu irmão para começar a produção desse disco.
"Happier Than Ever" foi um disco que demorou para que eu consiga digerir por completo, fui gostando dele aos poucos, e creio eu que agora sim eu consegui compreender e apreciar a obra completa.
O conteúdo lírico do disco é bem rico e bem trabalhado, a cantora abordou sobre seu ... read more
Como uma colcha de retalhos, o segundo álbum de Billie Eilish serve para reafirmar como ela continua a ser uma artista interessante e, às vezes, única.
Billie Eilish’s “Happier Than Ever”, her highly awaited sophomore release, contains many of the great qualities that has defined her best work; Billie’s vocals are great, FINNEAS’ production thrives in creating an atmosphere that feels tailor made for Billie’s vocals. They all contribute to create a sound that symbolises a new step in the nineteen-year-old’s career. However, this new step more like a step back (which, from what I’ve heard, is an ... read more
Wow… Billie needs to have a waiver come along with listening to this album, because Asphyxiation levels are high.
Billie Eilish and her brother FINNEAS need no introduction. They’ve stormed the world that is Mainstream Alternative-Pop records with a soft, quirky aesthetic that has people feeling seen as well as just being a bit wacky and out there. They provide something different than what the rest of the mainstream world is doing and have inspired many artists to do the same. ... read more
FIRST THINGS FIRST
I’m the realest
SECOND! Billie’s voice is so lush… soft as a feathers touch, and beautiful like an angels ethereal resonance.
This album is mature, and smart… very very smart. It’s an album of realization, we as individuals are often blind to the cesspool we subject ourselves to everyday, or just refuse to see. This record is Billie opening her eyes, and reaching outwards for something more… as we all who seek positive change ... read more
