VIsqo Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:49 PM I don't remember an album he has made that has gotten universally positive reviews. The people tho seem to have been enjoying the album in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted yesterday at 03:37 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:37 PM Yeah Will doesn’t tend to get good reviews for either film or music so it doesn’t make much difference to me. What’s most important is that the fans are enjoying it and on the most part we are. I’m sure it matters more to Will what we think. i was going to make a joke about reviewers knowing nothing because it’ll be some 40 year old white person, but that’s actually describing me now haha.

JumpinJack AJ Posted yesterday at 03:47 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:47 PM Yeah, I have no interest in reading any reviews unless someone who likes Will's music is like "this is a good read." I couldn't care less about someone's opinion. What I think is interesting, is if you go to YouTube or something where you're actually listening to the music, it's virtually all positive. However, if you go to social media, there's a lot of hate. I think that speaks volumes. VIsqo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan 4ever Posted yesterday at 07:56 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:56 PM I’ve seen some reaction videos online that were very positive. So I guess people like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
