Great album

A very good album to listen too

When I realised Ed Sheeran was finally bringing out a second album (after milking the hell out of the first one!) I was extremely excited for it. I was a bit nervous too as Ed Sheeran said something about changing it up for his second album, or something along those lines. I just wanted the Ed Sheeran I'd come to love, the one that had that distinctive style with his acoustic guitar which even made itself evident on the CD. His CD finally turned up (Duluxe edition with all 17 songs on), and for once I'd hardly heard any of his songs off the album, other than his single 'Sing' and a few others like 'I see fire' and 'All of the stars'... After listening to it about 6/7 times, all I can say is wow, what a brilliant album and hats off to Ed! 'Sing' in my opinion is the worst song on the album, which is saying something about the quality of the album as I still enjoy that song... For once, I genuinely cannot pick a few faves from the album like I can with just about any other album (including his first album which I loved A team, Small Bump and Drunk). If I were to pick my faves it would effectively be the entire album, as it's so strong. The bonus songs felt like the weaker songs at first listen, but having heard them many more times since, I actually really like them and so they're all very equal and very very strong! Perhaps if I absolutely had to pick a favorite it would be 'Afire Love' because of the emotion in the song, as well as it being an incredible song. Can't wait to hear more from Ed, but this will certainly tide me over until his next album, let's hope it's not another three year wait though!!!

Great

From street performer to international star, British singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran is definitely one of the biggest names on today's music scene. His album "X" is wonderful. The themes revolve largely around love, the backbone of his artistic production, but each trace is colored with its own nuance, passing from memories ("Photograph"), to the distance from home and loved ones ("One" and "Nina "), Alcohol (" Sing ") up to the disease (" Afire love "). The sounds range from funky, to rhythm and blues to hip hop soul, but, as well as for the themes, they are always accompanied by the typically English pop imprint. The characteristic that most distinguishes this guy is, however, the unmistakable voice-guitar combination that makes him independent of any instrument, both in the studio and live.

Excuse the pun above but ya know! Had to it just felt right. I'll take a step back momentarily and just say.. The music coming this year just gets better and better; Sam Smith "In The Lonely Hour" Michael Jackson "Xscape" and now Ed Sheeran "X (Multiply)". This is the best of the best right here. From the quiet ballad of falsetto and acoustic "One" To the ever so regretful "I'm A Mess" Followed on by the number one UK single acoustic dance track of "SING" Then we get to the best stuff. "Don't" is a particular highlight of mine. And many others by the looks of things. The hip-hop influenced spoken rapped four minute masterclass about being cheated on. "Nina" is another hidden gem. R&B and catchy about long distance relationship. "Thinking Out Loud" is also a personal favourite; a pretty falsetto ballad. Uplifting. "Bloodstream" is a catchy R&B influenced song about drugs etc. "Photograph" is another long distance relationship song. Lovely. And "Afire Love" is heartfelt ballad about his grandfather's alzheimers and resulting death. Those are my favourites. Not that the others aren't exceptional! "I See Fire" is ridiculously good. Slow, slow, slow, then an explosive ending. "The Man", a song reflecting on love, career, and fame. Sung in a rap! "Take It Back" is a song about his career, reminiscent of "You Need Me I Don't Need You" from "+". "Shirtsleeves" is a beautiful touch. Nuff said! "Even My Dad Does Sometimes" is pretty but my least favourite. "Tenerife Sea" is kinda magical. About true love, Ed Sheeran style! "Runaway" is about Ed's dad's drinking problem, and is the second song directed by Pharrel. A very touchful yet upbeat tune. "The Fault In Our Stars" is a real gem of an end to a real gem of an album. Highly recommend. Best album this year :-)

great cd

Simply wonderful. Play it endlessly. Greatly admire Ed Sheeran for how he had faith in himself and left home at 16 with his guitar to play in subways of London. If my son did that I'd have freaked out, and worried myself silly. Maybe his parents did that. But on the other hand, his faith in his own abilities as a singer songwriter is commendable. Ed Sheeran is one of those singers who for me, came into my own limelight with his song Thinking Out Loud, and I just had to own a copy of it. Since listening to the albulm I have loved so many of the other tracks especially track 16 I see Fire. Where Ed got the lyrics for that track from I'd like to know. Does he have Native American roots, or a Native American Spirit Guide perhaps? Great song. A masterpiece. Not overly keen on the Rap, but Ed does it better than most so I bear those tracks and there isn't much of it anyway, only one track really that I generally fast forward. I thoroughly recommend this albulm to everyone whether you have heard of Ed Sheeran or not. The lyrics are down to earth and could apply to any of us. I look forward to Ed produce future albums and will snap them up the moment they are released. In many respects he reminds me a little of Justin Timberlake and Darren Hayes both of whom I love to listen to and have every album of. But then on the other hand Ed is one on his own. Cannot fault him. Congratulate him immensely.

Absolutamente genial.
