ED SHEERAN - X

THIS ALBUM IS GOOD "DON'T" IS SO SINGALONGWITHABLE AND "THINKING OUT LOUD" IS AN INSTANT CLASSIC AND SO MANY OF THESE SONGS ARE REALLY DRAMATIC AND INTENSE AND HAVE EPIC CLIMAXES ("I'M A MESS" "BLOODSTREAM" "AFIRE LOVE" - ALL SO GOOD)

:)

Has ILM finally eaten itself?

...then shat itself out and eaten itself again?

i like the singles, curious about the album

haven't heard anything other than "sing" but have wondered how people would have reacted had justin timberlake released the exact same thing this yr. ppl are just tripping over themselves to point out the similarities to "like i love you" as if it's not super obvious or something.

guess we'll never know

i like the singles, curious about the album

same

"tenerife sea" is so lovely

the entire standard edition is a thumbs up, maybe even the rather adorably cringeworthy one where he raps about how he might join the 27 club bc he smokes spliffs sometimes

Ugh, I don't hate a few songs on this.

Never mind, he just started rapping.

don't have to hear this guy singing baout things ever again but "could just be the bassline" is still gr8

The Timberlake biting single was interesting for about two seconds, but every thing else I've heard from this is well within his already boring wheelhouse save for the couple of tracks that I'm guessing Pharrell produced. Also his "rapping" remains hilarious.

Keep the first two tracks, delete the rest.

Are there any raps as great as "They say I'm up and coming like I'm fucking in an elevator"???

Also yeah I will probably forgive this guy anything just for "Could Just Be The Bassline".

lol i forgot the elevator line

he raps on like 1 song + yes it is awful can we move on please + listen to 'bloodstream' on repeat for a while

i always sing the hook on "sing" when it comes on :(

Love this photo

successfully avoided him until i hit "E" in ilx's best singles of the year compilation
this guy is aggressively boring in an extremely boring way.
i guess i don't hate this looping "Made to Love Her" cover though, the song is kind of insurmountably good

big argument for the impact of youtube on pop music

to be clear "i was made to love her" insurmountably good, not the cover

"THINKING OUT LOUD" IS AN INSTANT CLASSIC

recursively ban uberweiss

will your mouth still remember the taste of my love lol

the "dirrty" live lounge cover made me stare at myself really hard in the mirror but w/e, album's still dope

That's been my favorite song on the radio for the last couple of months.

Maybe this belongs on the fedora thread

This guy just sold out Croke Park 2 nights in a row

i really hated half of this record but sorta liked the other half. idk

good songs on this record, "thinking out loud" is a classic and "love yourself" is a banger

lol you had to spotlight the 2 worst (non-rapping) things he's ever done

that is just so ignorant of sherran's realest horrors tbh

blu ray false say

rtc on the right side of history as always

tbh i felt a lot like lex when j0rd described "love yourself" as a banger

yeah like what

for me sheeran's biggest crime is "18" by one direction but that's personal

i never really formed any strong feelings about that song either way
