Wonder by Shawn Mendes: a review that no one asked for

thoughts overall: it’s an okay album. but, it doesn’t really feel like an album? it’s kinda like a bunch of songs put together where there’s not really a specific direction? you go slow and then suddenly goes upbeat but not in the smoothest way, it’s throws you off sometimes. even in some of the songs you go from piano to heavy drum but it’s not the best transition. it’s all jumpy and you don’t really flow through the album from start to finish. it’s not his best album and dare i say it, a bit of a step back from SM3. Although, some songs are really good and showed actual growth from previous ones sonically which is great. overall score, hmm, prolly a 3/5. not an expert though and this is solely my opinion.

anyway, was typing while listening so track by track with my first impressions under the cut

1. Intro

-> have already heard this of course ahah and i still do love it.

2. Wonder

-> again, a good song and i love love love it but as a single and title track, it’s alright, nothing too deep or groundbreaking. the chorus is very catchy though where i found myself repeating it over and over. verses are good too. missed this guy’s voice lol i’m getting emo sorry.

3. Higher

-> oh this is straight up different, this threw me off the train from wonder lmaao. that drum is whew. the beat is nice, Shawn’s voice is very nice. lyrics are alright though ahah so many repetitions. the random synths or whatever those sounds effects are in the back is very distracting (not the best) and the static screeching too. hmm, the last part is kinda chaotic and i found myself lowering the volume because eek the sound is too sharp. i don’t know how i feel about this song now 😅

4. 24 Hours

-> it’s a nice love song lol. lyrics are very...cliché but not in the best way? so you don’t really feel anything special or that it’s something special for Shawn. unlike when he says “can you meet me down on Adelaide street?” or “what’s really gonna break my heart is i have to tell your little brother.” you know? Fallin All In You is another cliché love song but it’s written so well that you see the picture? The sunrise? With her on his chest? The touch noses feeling your breath you know? this an alright song overall.

5. Teach Me How To Love

-> ooh, okaaay. now this is my jam that old school vibe is whew. ughhh that voice 😩😭 SING IT MENDES UGH. devoted to explore that body of ocean huh...he getting on his knees i’m squealing, my heart. touch you, tease, caress you, and please you—it’s gosh (i think I need a moment). that guitar is very sexy. i already see a music video. this is what i mean when painting pictures with lyrics, it’s very simple lyrics of course but you see and feel the words. the fucking guitar mate i’m—whew. “babe i won’t stop till you feel the rush”—ugh. wait let me just—*clicks back from the start*

6. Call My Friends

-> the verse had me 🥺🥺 and i was vibing but then the beat dropped in the chorus and it’s feels...messy? like it threw me off? there’s so many sharp sounds in some of this songs it’s not pleasing for my ears. It’s a good song.

7. Dream

-> the verse is great and it’s sweet and soft, smooth but then the chorus again with the layered vocals is a bit of a huge change, like the shift from the piano to the suddenly heavy drums and guitar, it throws me off a lil. and with the whole dream dream dream I can’t stop thinking about Shark Boy’s song I’m sorry 😭😭 it’s a good song, nothing much but it’s good.

8. Song For No One

-> hmm, it’s okay. soft, tender with only his voice and just guitar, nothing much with the lyrics. oh gosh what’s this change of beat...why do i hear Christmas bells? there’s so many beat changes and they’re not the smoothest change 😭 it’s meh i guess?

9. Monster

-> i’ve only listened to this 3 times and my opinion is still the same. it’s a good song, nice and smooth beat but Shawn has so little time in it. and when JB comes in, it becomes his songs, and Shawn now seems like feature. which isn’t great since this Shawn’s album. i do like the song.

10. 305

-> the chorus sounds so familiar but I can’t pinpoint what song. it sounds kinda like something of Taylor’s but i don’t know what it is and now i can’t stop raking my brain ugh. anyway, I love the song. it’s such a chill and happy upbeat song which is a nice contrast to the lyrics ‘cause it’s a bit angsty the lyrics haha. i’m vibing, i’m really enjoying it, I love it.

11. Always Been You

-> the verse was so nice, smooth with piano but again with the sudden change in beat in the chorus just why. it’s silence and then a very heavy sudden drum as well so i throws you off by a lot. i didn’t sign up for jump scares gosh ahah. and the song just ends...

12. Piece Of You

-> oooh, okay then, smooth voice, very nice piano, yes ugh sing it mendes—oh my gosh. wHUT? THIS IS HOW YOU CHANGE THE BEAT THE RIGHT WAY WTF. I love this son—DON’T COUNT LIKE THAT MENDES WHAT THE HELL MY HEART 😭 the lyrics though?? whew. it’s really gosh. “I get jealous, but who wouldn’t when you look like you do?” the jealousy is very sexy 😉 “I’m sorry if I get protective. Need these boys to get the message. You know I’m yours, i know you’re mine.” thats hot. replaying it again oop—

13. Look Up At The Stars

-> that first verse I love it 🥺 oh damn, that beat change to something upbeat is really nice too gosh I love it. that pre-chorus beat is so whew, i really like it. this is such a Queen vibe, I just realised. this song is so good gosh i love iittt.

14. Can’t Imagine

-> saw the title and immediately said “I can’t imagine a world without you” when i haven’t even heard the song yet...turns out I was right ha. it’s okay, not much to the lyrics since it’s the same thing over and over. a soft last song, it’s okay.

FINAL THOUGHTS: it has has great, good and meh moments song wise. a lil but if great and more so good but it’s alright. it doesn’t feel like a cohesive album as a whole though, like you don’t get what vibe it is particularly. aside from a theme beat changes from piano to drum, which is a very common thing throughout the album but yeah, that’s about it. I don’t know how to explain it but it’s like you’re on the train, and then you’re off, and then you on again. you simply just don’t flow through the songs, it’s a bit all over the place. maybe from the track listing. if they rearranged it then it could’ve been a bit better but yeah, some songs are lackluster. well, that’s on that hahah. you can talk to me about it if you want tho ❤️
