album Ed Sheeran - 'Autumn Variations'

[joannna]

i was about to say this was obviously inspired by folklore and evermore then found out that the whole thing was produced by Dessner. 

 

[Mr. Duff]

Really an autumn album, it's so good! Maybe I;m biased but this is like folklore and + combined, the catchy songs really made me feel a lot! Plastic Bag, That's on Me and American Town are really the quickest to get my attention.

 

Amazing is also amazing *ahem* and Page is so good. The second half kinda drags but maybe because it's so cohesive that I wasn't able to pay attention more as the sound and vibe is essentially autumn-y. I have to listen more to appreciate the second half.

Lovin’ “Blue”

[GreatestLoveofAll]

Had no idea he was releasing?? listening to american town now and its pretty cute- certainly wayyy better than eyes closed. this is very taylor coded especially the lyrics and usually i tend to avoid all that but i might give this album a listennnn

[Pop Music Aussie]

I’m so sick of the same old boring sound from him

[vale9001]

i'm sure his intention was to make 2 albums in a year with Dessner (like folklore + evermore) but after the first flopped hard it turned this into a "mixtape release only for the fans" 

 

anyways it's better than the album before 

[spiritboy]

Another great album from Ed. He clearly had very dark days and i'm glad he's letting all out.

I like this album. England in particular is great.

[Maroonx]

I'm gonna listen to it today. I hope it's better than his last album

[M.R.]

Punchline is great. Found most of the album quite boring.

[Katamari]

the day i was born is so cowboy like you coded  

[Galantis]

Plastic Bag was the only song I liked. The Day I Was Born was quite nice as well.

 

Don't care about the rest.

I loved Subtract, but this is just bland.

[omrimayo]

I really think this Ed album is the biggest bomb of all time. He can say whatever he wants about it "no promo" or whatever, he used to be the biggest artist in the world 5 minutes ago, and these "numbers" are just... no words.

[Cqmerqn]

I would say this is the biggest bomb of all time too

[TOKYO.]

A bomb.. i feel happy. Hes defeated finally

[spiritboy]

His tour grossed almost $500m, how is he "defeated"?
