How do you feel about his new album? Listening to it on Netease.
Album of the year IMO. So many great songs
>>60347460
>>60347840
Fuck why is this place full of fucking fags
As much as I still despise him for being an enormous bitch, I will admit that What Do You Mean and Sorry are solid pop songs with catchy beats. That's all the positive I can say though.
>Makes a big show about "maturing" and "finding himself"
>Continues to throw tantrums at concerts and goes stalker ex mode on what's her name
>>60347912
>taking this seriously
His songs....
Life is worth living
Children
Purpose
Is all about worshipping Jesus and converting kids to christianity. It's so beautiful to hear such pop music like this.
fucking loved it desu senpai. bought it on vinyl. bieber really got his game together.
>>60348142
I'm on song 18 and I've liked 12 songs so far which is unusual for me. I usually only like 2- 4 songs Max on an album.
>>60347840
>>60347943
>>60348002
>>60348142
>>60348293
Am I being fucking memed?
Holy shit this is either some new creative bait or /mu/ has really gone down in the dumps
>>60348293
it was really strange, I totally didn't expect it from him. It was really emotional.
Thus album is so cohesive....much better than Grimes latest...
I really hope he does more Christian pop directed towards God.
I think it's a decent 6. Best Bieber albums so far tbqh, he's improved greatly smfh desu smfh senpai.
>>60348354
Nah.. I usually only listen to shoegaze and indie crap. This album is 8/10.
I hate you all
>>60348360
>>60348389
>>60348431
>>60348454
Good bait. 7/10 overall for thread
>>60348354
>close minded: the post
>>60348511
>>60348523
I'm serious. It's really good. It actually sounds like an album with songs relating to one another. It still has some stupid songs with rappers, but there's at least 10 solid songs.
My gf is a belieber and we are listening together. Super impressed so far. Its hard not to tear up in front of her with how emotional some of the songs are. :/
Any favorites? I'm partial to I'll Show You
I wonder if anyone has really listened to it.
>>60348816
I did. It's pretty good, best pop album of the year so far. Where Are Ü Now? was especially touching, Bieber showed his musical maturity there.
>>60348770
My favs are the more emotional Christian ones. 10, 12, 13, 18, 20 but there's no bad songs IMO.
What about the children?
What about all the children we can change?
Who in this generation is going to be the one to fight for them?
Do you believe enough to die for them?
>>60349096
So powerful, that.
Album art is trash though
Is this thread just ironic memes or something
>>60349329
no, just people with open minds about different types of music.
I'll suck your ween is the best track on album.
>>60349355
if you're being serious I think you need to go back to your rym niche club and get another shtick instead of liking top 40 to seem open minded
>>60349385
mmm i'll only like top 40 if it's good.
I've heard that his music this time around is a little better but holy fuck this thread is hilarious
>>60347460
Honestly I thought maybe Adele, Grimes, or Tame Impala were all contenders but this blows them out of the water. I'm honestly, really enjoying Purpose. Top five of the decade for sure.
>>60349424
lets not get ahead of ourselves now
>>60349424
idk about top 5, definitely contender for album of the year at this point though.
Album cover is lame but it actually is pretty good though
is it still teen pop?
>>60349434
>>60349451
For me it is, it would be great if you could just respect my opinion guys.
>>60348293
>I usually only like 2- 4 songs Max on an album.

>Top five of the decade for sure.
is this whole thread satire
>album is half filler
>13 variations of the same sound
>album literally peaks at track 3
>songs barely flow together
>Halsey feature
>bullshit Christian imagery
I'm triggered
>>60347840
hello viral marketer. we are not easily shilled.
>"Oh he's matured"
>"he makes good music now"
>see the roast, alright he's not terrible I guess
>see this album hyped and shill ed on mu
>it's still the same shitty pop music
God damn fell for the memes again. Good job mushills
poptimism: the thread
>>60347460
Lel
>>60347460
Nas shouldn't have been on We Are. The song would sound better with Bieber by himself.
>ITT: Delicious bait everywhere.
Same generic pop album that was heard in his other music productions. Tried to incorporate some pseudo EDM into his album buy fell extremely short.
Very soft 6/10, imo
So far my favorites are What Do You Mean?, Company, and No Pressure. I'm on No Sense right now.
The whole thing's been a little samey sounding but the sound is nice at least.
>>60347460
I actually have dug his recent singles, as far as pop songs go. They're def. a step up for him.
Shame the teens are hating this masterpiece, but oh well. It doesn't have the meme songs like Baby and the likes but it's a real testification of Bieber being a serious and matured artists. Some really slick production all around, I especially like the experiments he did on his vocals, changing his pitches and blending in with the beats. It's almost like a mixture of dreampop and detroit techno, very, very intriguing.
If Grimes gets a 7 from Fantano, I'm sure this will receive a 8 or higher. This is the year of new school pop tbqh.
>>60347460
Best track is Mark my Words. That track surprised me the most.
>>60350840
this smfh desu senpai
>>60348002
he is some form of christian
look up youtube videos of him before he was famous (youtube kidraul i think)
he did a lot of christian music.
If you guys liked his Christian songs on this album, you will especially like his song Believe, released a few years ago.
Really reduces a man like myself to tears, so beautiful, so meaningful.
jesus not even kidding i loved the shit out of this album
>>60347460
I think it's great. Planning to write my first ever review on RYM of this one. Rarely do we ever see such a unique pop album.
8/10 album, will get overshadowed by 25 though which I think isn't fair for him
I was really skeptical but seeing all the praise here got me curious so i gave it a listen and im glad i did. Great album, i've had it on repeat for hours now.
>>60351050
Listening to it right now and honestly it's beautiful. Criminally underrated
Love Yourself is fire
his voice matches these types of songs
really wish he did these songs more often
>>60348770
The Feeling
I didn't expect to like it so much but I've got that shit on repeat
literally on on a first run through...
cannot find a song worth skipping past
desu so far his weakest song is Where Are U Now....
>>60347460
guys,are you baiting me?
because if you are not,I believe you're not listening to Justin
Journals was a step,but do I have to ask myself if this is any good? becuase you got me
>>60351536
Not even baiting. I listened to the whole thing and more or less enjoyed it. Best tracks are Company, No Pressure, and The Feeling. His singles aren't too bad either.
>>60351536
not baiting either.
i honestly think this is his best album
i do wish he did more songs like Die In Your Arms though
this album reminds me of Chris Brown's album "Chris Brown" but a lot more tailored towards pop than R&B.
bieber should do more ballads.
>>60347956
>I was only pretending to be retarded XDDDD
who the fuck do you think you're fooling?
>mfw this is the first JB work I've listened to in years and it's pretty good
>>60351606
>poptimist everyone
>>60351613
What music are you into, anon?
>post yfw bieber single handedly turns America into a strong Christian nation again
>>60351682
how? he's a degenerate retard
>>60351729
he's been talking about God non stop this year and this album pretty much revolves around Christianity and God
>>60351748
he doesn't write his own songs lmao
AOTY
he done it again
>>60351766
so? the average listener doesn't care about that. i'm pretty sure he writes some it though
>>60347460
finally a celeb who remembers to thank god for his success.
5/10
Made In The AM was better, 6/10
The albums a grower. Gets better on each listen.
>>60351766
Neither does anyone else in mainstream pop.
>>60351396
Agree the feeling is a really good duet
Am I in luv wit u or am I in luv wit the feelin
>>60352084
I only really liked 2 songs on 1D's album. What a feeling & walking in the wind.
>>60352209
That's wrong though.
>>60352643
name one mainstream pop artist who writes their own songs....
Really boring. I was interested to see what it'd be like since What Do You Mean? and Sorry were pretty well executed pop hits, better quality and surprisingly more artistically ambitious than most other current pop hit makers (One Direction, Ariana Grande, any other boring pop chart star.) But it seems that every other song on the album is pretty lackluster although I must admit I only listened to half of them before giving up. Bieber is consistently boring as a lyricist so the only thing to go for in his music is the hooks and production, both of which were lacking in this bloated album of bland and forgettable trap and dance pop tunes.
>>60353002
I like the lackluster quality of the songs. Many pop songs are over-produced and have too much noise in them to distract you from the fact they can't sing. This album was refreshing to me.
i cant beliebe im saying this, but ive bought it on vinyl today
>>60353019
The vocal effects on this album ruin it for me. Justin is a good singer but it's overproduced. The features on this album were pretty terrible also.
>>60352084
that album is trash from what i can hear on the sample tracks on itunes
Honestly up until the features it's pretty good, the Halsey one was absolute garbage. Currently on Purpose which is a pretty good worship team song at a "hip" church.
Wait is this actually a Christian album?
Kek.
>>60354152
In the last few years he's gotten really into Christianity, his pastor is a pretty famous one from Seattle. So there are some thinly veiled christian songs.
>>60353882
I have the 23 track japanese version, and some of the songs sound more like demos. It's a good album though.
bump if you beliebe

Get your shit together, plebs. When you're ready, give this album a serious listen. Don't worry, your high school classmates won't bully you.
this is going to be like when Miley released her latest album
all you retards act like it's the best thing since sliced bread until it gets panned by reviewers and then you change your mind and try to pretend like you never actually liked it
>>60355920
nah
Love this thread guys great job keep it up :)
>>60347460
Sorry is the single of the year. Fuck, it's so good.
>>60355920
i don't think this'll get terrible reviews desu
>>60353001
Prince? Gaga?
>ayy lmao justin is for 12yo girls
Yet you listen to The Beatles and The Beach Boys.
>>60355982
Poptimists everyone, they claim they're all about inclusion but only when it's convenient for them.

Holy shit, Nas had the worst verse I've ever heard him deliver ever.
>>60356034
>le autismo comic
dude if someone asked me what music i was listening to and it happened to be the beatles, i would just say "skrillex" and walk away. always works
>people taking the massb8 seriously

>having autism
>>60352084
Big 1D and Bieber fan, and Bieber killed Made in the AM. What a Feeling, the singles, Olivia, History, and Hey Angel were the best songs besides the deluxe tracks.
" we are " is a really good song. Good to hear nas back in the game
>>60356418
see
>>60356098
>Good to hear nas back in the game
didn't you hear his amazing feature on Game's album?
I just downloaded it on iTunes and on my way to a party going to listen to it. So far those first three singles were more than alright
>>60356384
regressive boneheads pls leave
seriously either listen to it or don't post
thoughts on the first listen: excluding the singles, which are all fire, Mark My Words was a really nice opening, No Sense, The Feeling, Love Yourself and Children stood out to me. Honestly, Children is worth a grammy or something, I really like the idea of the song. 9'\10 pop album
>>60355979
Prince isn't relevant anymore, but yes he did write and compose many of his hit songs in the 80s and early 90s.
Lady Gaga has songwriters that work on all of her songs.. Looking through her discography on Wikipedia..the only song she ever wrote alone was You and I apparently. The rest have 1-5 songwriters working on them...which is the same for every pop artist besides Grimes.
>>60347460
i'm listening to it right now, honestly it's not terrible
i wouldnt say it's very GOOD so far but not something worth getting angry about (like every 15 year old in this thread will surely do, lol)
actually in the time i typed this i reached the 3rd song, and its kinda alright
>>60347956
pleb
>>60357252
wait until you hit track 7
it is actually a good album
>>60357372
i like the guitar on track 5 not gonna lie
its really not fair for the music industry that justin bieber and skrill are working together
>>60348354
>implying that hating justin bieber hasn't been a meme for more than 5 years
best thread all year
first four tracks were fun, the rest is shit.
>>60358500
first two tracks were shit, the rest is fun
besides some of the stuff near the end of the album where it sounds skrillex and diplo
>>60356121
Hey anon! What are you listening too?
I refuse to believe this thread isn't a bad attempt at irony. You don't just go from a bland teen pop star who likes pretending to be 'edgy' to a respectable artist overnight. This, or you've decided to pretend to like it in order to impress your 'hip' 'open-minded' internet friends and be a contrarian. Either way, DFW would be ashamed of you.
This is viral marketing, it's being perpetuated by the same company that spammed Chvrches Every Open Eye record when it came out
alright honest opinion from a non viral marketer or b8'er here. I just downloaded it and listened through its truly nothing special at all but it is a step up from his previous work. It goes in between really dancy electronic to typical top 40 piano and singing love songs with perfect crystal clear state of the art vapid production. Its honestly exactly what i expected from bieber. Im even someone who roots for him and I wanted this to be some sort of respectable artistic breakthrough but its definitely not. Its just simply better than his previous work which isnt saying a lot. Beliebers everywhere will go nuts either way though
the bottom end of this record from "been you" until the last track "the most" is the most generic top 40 dance bullshit ive ever witnessed, track after track its just that generic piano/acoustic guitar dance beat type shit. God damn they were trying to make every single track on here be a radio smash, comlpletely shamelessly. Soft, tender verses leading up to big choruses on almost every track
>>60348770
FKA twigs track with music video promoting fuccboi attire of the year
Also mainstream pop track of the year its hella chill
Dude it was fucking beautiful, it's been a minute since I've felt these feels listening to an album. Life if worth living and purpose reduced me to tears. i don't give a fuck what you faggots say this shit is definitely aoty
Probably in the minority here but his last project "Journals" was more interesting for the most part. My highlights would be "All That Matters" and "Recovery". I'd advise people to check it out!
>>60360596
all that matters is probably the best song he's made IMO
>>60360720
I prefer Recovery but the whole album has ton's of hidden gems that most people haven't heard yet.
>>60347460
i know its all bait yet i still bit at it hook line and sinker
>triggered
>>60360827
yeah that album was heavily slept on
>>60360596
It's pretty great, i once talked about this album here on /mu/, everyone thought that i was baiting.
>there are people ITT who believe /mu/ is worth shilling for and out of all places on the internet this is where viral marketers would come to
No ones a viral marketer you idiot. Justin made a 9/10 album and you're just pissed because your favs suck now. Hop on the beiber train.
AOTY desu
No Pressure is so good.
>>60360942
i think it was slept on because of the music mondays
less anticipation for the big thing
i wish he threw in hotline bling as a bonus track, shit is better than the original
We are reaching shitposting levels that shouldn't even be possible.
>>60365376
like yours for example
im sorry is a fun track
havent listened to the rest and dont want to
>>60365392
if you like that song you might like "children"
>>60365354
can u please link to bieber's version???
i cant find it AT ALL
>>60365430
are you saying i like children?
>>60365465

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DlHJXVDRSNE
>>60366577
oooh p. good.
my favorite collabs are
>eenie meenie miney ft. sean kingston
>next 2 you ft. chris brown
>runaway love ft. kanye west/raekwon
>somebody to love ft. usher
>beauty and a beat ft. nick minaj
i dont think his more recent collabs are that great =/
why the fuck is this thread still up
fuck you all
>>60366855

lyrics are awful but i'll show you is amazing
>>60366577

>>60367867
>>60367867
...they released a new album????
>>60367895
nah i was just looking up who's had the most sales. n'sync holds top 2 positions. how does that even happen?
>>60367764
To my ears he does. His voice is actually listenable now by adults.
>>60367867
I think over time this album is going to sell millions, but I only see it going platinum right now.
>>60367671
>LOVE YOURSELF
can this be a meme pls?
you know
when someones over assuming about your feelings towards them
NIGGA LOVE YOURSELF
Katy Perry has 77mil twitter followers
Justin Bieber has 69mil twitter followers
Katty Perry has many fake twitter followers, I believe her management buys twitter followers... if you look at archive.org she gains 1-2 million followers a month. Yet we never hear much about her boring self or music.. She's a total hack.
>>60368001
did u even listen to the song
I'm feeling a 6.9-7 on this desu. The record caters towards fans of Skrillz and Drake, and I'll take that as far as I'm concerned. For a complete rebranding, there's very few artists that I can turn around on, but this is one. Especially with the amount of vulnerability he shows on this record, down to the minimal production exposing his vocals. Sure, there's some filler, but if you're just listening to the standard version I don't see how you could ask for better in a modern Pop record with a male singer. His next record could honestly be a masterpiece if he hones in and continues to focus. .

As a 43 year old satanist I approve of this album.
***Hopes my opinion will be used in publicity material***
I love his Skrillex collab desu really getting his act together
you're like the people who tried to make nu britney spears look patrician a few years ago
>>60369815
netease has a lot of other artists/music on there who you won't find spotify...because they don't give a fuck about record companies or artists with inflated egos
Pre-Purpose Bieber was a piece of shit for little bitches and kids. Purpose is literally going from 1 to 100.
Great stuff, damn
