In this review I will be reviewing an old album which was released back in 2014. To complete Ed's discography it is Ed's sophomore album (second album) called "X".
As Ive reviewed Ed's other albums such as "+", and "Divide". The time has finally come to complete his discography. I left this album last to review as it is one of his best albums. "Divide" will definitely not be better than this masterpiece. I am not saying "Divide" is a bad album all im saying is that I dont agree when some fans think that "Divide" is better than "X". "Divide will always be another good album but when it comes to"X" it will always be a masterpiece. Since hearing "X" over the last few years this album has always been on repeat for me I often listen to it sometimes whenever im feeling the Ed Sheeran vibe. Discussing more about this album this album is just so good it gets you on a good mood with fantastic tracks such as "Thinking Out Loud", "Photograph", and "Bloodstream". Back in the day when I used to listen to Capital FM 95.8 I remember the first time when they played "Thinking Out Loud". At first I was like holy fuck is this Ed Sheeran no way I was just shocked at the time when he made this fantastic pop ballad. From that track we all knew that Ed has done it he has now become mainstream. I really did not expect Ed to make a really good pop ballad song it seriously just blew my mind when I heard this. Majority of this album has a mixture of love ballad songs its so different and unique and better than "+".
Moving on to my favourite tracks on the album which are "Sing", "Photograph", "Bloodstream", "Tenerife Sea", "Thinking Out Loud", and "Afire Love". Starting off with "Sing" this was an interesting track as it is featured Pharell Williams which he only says sing and louder in the track. Pharell producing this amazing track once again proves that he is not a terrible producer. In my opinion Pharell is one of the greatest producers in our generation he has produced tracks with other fantastic artists. Yet again shows how mastermind he is. I really enjoyed Ed's lyrics in this track it has always been a catchy track on the album. "Photograph" now we move on to a quite emotional track which brang me a tear to my eye. This track is definitely one of the strongest in the album it is just so powerful and its a shame we do not hear pop music like that in 2017. Such a calmful track. "Bloodstream" this track is another good one despite I prefer the remix of "Bloodstream" by Rudimental it is still a decent track. The remix is fucking amazing even though I am not a big fan of Rudimental. "Tenerife Sea" this track is just an acoustic pop folk track still a decent track. "Thinking Out Loud" now this is what's called a pop ballad track. This track is just simply amazing it reminds me of one of those 80s ballads from high school prom. I really love how this track stands out well than the others. "Afire Love" which is my last favourite track. It is also the finale track of the album this track was really interesting the production sounded just spot on. The production just simply amazed me. I did not find any Ed's tracks terrible so for me there were no least favourite tracks.
Overall I really enjoyed this album it was really good. I would defintley listen to it again non stop. It is a 10/10.
Since I finally completed Ed's discography you may want to read his other albums which I reviewed
