very pivotal album for bieber. in my opinion, this is the album that took him from being only perceived as "for girls" or just a pop sensation and teen heartthrob to being seen as a more serious artist. if they're good/last long enough, every teen star has that pivotal/transitional album.

with skrillex on production and cover art by the renowned RETNA, this album was a full artistic project in every sense. consisting of 14 tracks, he has his major hits like what do you mean, sorry, love yourself, and company as well as his more introspective songs like i'll show you and life is worth living. i gave it a 4.5 bc for me there are a couple of skips but overall suchhhhh a good album and such a time capsule!
