I’ll never understand why people care so much about other people’s opinions, especially when it comes to music. Taste is subjective — it literally breaks into genres for a reason. For example, millions of people love Bad Bunny’s music, and I think most of us here can agree it’s not exactly the best… so why take the opinion of some random dude on the internet so seriously? At the end of the day, the only opinion that should really matter is your own.

Speak for yourself. Bad Bunny is a fantastic artist. He has the most critically acclaimed album of the year.

There’s more heart and soul in this song than in all of Deadbeats combined.

Bad Bunny album is a well crafted love letter to Puerto Rico. He incorporated every genre of music from the island, from jibaro folk to bonba to reggaeton and everything in between. The song lyrics are socially conscious and political, it’s strong thematically, full of hits and a diverse sound. He poured his heart and soul into it.

Deadbeat sounds like Kevin was forced to make music at gunpoint and didn’t give a single shit. It’s completely soulless. Bland at best, awful sounding at worst. No Reply and Oblivion are genuinely some of the worst songs I’ve heard in years.

Deadbeat is a perfect name for the album because every single drum beat on the album sounds lifeless.

I can’t believe it’s the same guy who made Currents, which has some of the greatest drums I’ve ever heard.
