| 2.2 poor | Erwann S. EMERITUS | February 26th 21 | I naively expected the most-streamed album in the world for 2014 to be, at least, enjoyable. It's mostly a white bloke who cries and strums his guitar. Apart from the played-to-death singles, it's mostly inoffensive and bland folk pop. I'm sure he's a good lad tho.

| 3.5 great | GoldenGuy444 | November 1st 22 | On retrospect it holds up quite well. Sheeran hadn't yet collapsed into the drivel of a dozen "Perfects" and "Thinking Out Louds" yet so it comes off and completely authentic. It's still very much pop, but there is that authenticity to it which adds to every track. "Don't", "Sing", "Bloodstream", hell even the mega hits "Photograph" and "Thinking Out Loud" are solid when taken on their own outside of their absurd popularity.

| 2.5 average | Hot Bowser | June 7th 22 | ed she is a ratty bastard in a lot of ways but occasionally he produces something well above his contempories, in this case one, nina, and bloodstream, rest is either filler or not quite there bringing this down a lot

| 2.5 average | BHAR | February 12th 16 | An uneven effort. X marks a departure from Ed's balladish roots and it makes a much more intriguing listen, but in the end, there isn't that will leave an impression on you... Photograph is an easy indicator of how average the album would sound. And, well, it is. Some songs do stand out, such as I'm A Mess & Sing.

| 2.5 average | gofrosty | June 17th 15 | I like Ed Sheeran in general but most of this album is forgettable. Most of the softer songs here are really excellent, much like the stuff on +. Most of the more pop focused songs are at least fun if uninspired. Some of them I find to be really quite good, "Don't" and "I'm a Mess" for example.

| 1.0 awful | maninthebox | September 15th 14 | A boringly uninspired release that at points becomes an abomination when trying to combine hip hop and folk. Also this dude ruined the closing song for the Hobbit.

| 1.5 very poor | VengeanceCactus | July 25th 14 | This album ranges from boring and uninspired, to unabashedly cliched, to downright cringeworthy. I'm surprised I made it to the end without vomiting.

| 2.0 poor | Smevin | June 29th 14 | These songs reek of wanting to be on the radio... if I wanted to hear somebody try and be unusual with an acoustic guitar, I'd just listen to Yoav

| 0.0 | MadGrinder | June 10th 14 | Sing wasn't bad, it actually had a great groove and a funky vibe to it. Hope the rest of the
album sounds as good, I mean, dude has talent, he just wasted it on "+" with cliche ballads
and harmless commercial love songs.
