The Great Impersonator
“a brutal but brilliant reckoning with chronic illness”
Manic
“Manic is Halsey's most complete work to date”
The Great Impersonator
“Its depressive power also gives it a a spirit of commiseration”
If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power
“an endlessly compelling artistic statement”
Manic
“stream-of-consciousness musings on family, love, and fame”
Manic
“Halsey, like many pop stars, has a specifically crafted persona. Her persona has evolved with each of her concept albums, from the blue-haired dystopian tumblr princess that debuted with Badlands in 2015, to the blonde pixie cut bisexual Romeo/Juliet found on 2017's Hopeless Fountain Kingdom. Through her high-profile relationship with equally internet-famous rapper G-Eazy, she played into the leat”
The Great Impersonator
“The Great Impersonator feels like Halsey stepping into every version of herself and owning them all. It’s theatrical, bold, and emotionally layered in a way that hits hard. The storytelling is sharp—equal parts vulnerable and biting—with Halsey blending alt-pop, rock, and cinematic sounds like only she can. Tracks like Lonely Is The Muse are instant standouts, with haunting vocals and lyrics that linger. If there’s one thing holding it back from a full five stars, it’s maybe a tiny bit of overproduction in spots—but honestly, that’s a nitpick. This is Halsey in full control of her artistry, and it’s stunning.”
If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power
“If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power is Halsey at her most daring and intense. The Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross production brings a dark, industrial edge that really sets this album apart—it feels powerful, cinematic, and unapologetically raw. Songs like “I am not a woman, I’m a god” and “Lilith” are haunting in the best way. That said, the album can feel a bit heavy and distant at times—it’s more of an experience than something you throw on casually. As a fan, I really admire the risk she took here. It’s not always an easy listen, but it’s bold, artistic, and shows just how fearless Halsey can be.”
hopeless fountain kingdom (Live From Webster Hall)
“Hopeless Fountain Kingdom is ambitious, cinematic, and full of drama—in true Halsey fashion. The Romeo-and-Juliet-inspired concept is creative and gives the album a cool theatrical vibe, and tracks like “Now or Never” and “Strangers” are total standouts. You can tell Halsey was experimenting with pop polish and big production here, and while some moments feel a little too polished or distant, there’s still a lot of heart underneath. It’s not her most cohesive work, but it’s bold, stylish, and shows her evolving. As a fan, it’s a fun chapter in her journey—even if it’s not my absolute favorite.”
Manic
“Manic is Halsey at her most personal and eclectic—it’s like flipping through pages of her diary, set to every genre she’s ever loved. From the raw vulnerability of “929” to the infectious pop of “Graveyard” and the country-tinged “You should be sad,” every track feels like a different facet of her personality. It’s chaotic in the best way, and that unpredictability makes it so fun to listen to. Not every transition hits perfectly, but that’s kind of the point—Manic isn’t polished, it’s honest. And as a fan, that honesty makes it one of her most relatable and endearing albums.”
BADLANDS
“Badlands is where it all started, and wow—what a debut. Halsey created a whole world with this album: gritty, dreamy, and dripping with attitude. The production is moody and atmospheric, and songs like “Colors” and “Ghost” still hold up as fan favorites. You can feel the raw emotion and ambition behind every track. It’s not perfect—some parts feel a little overstuffed—but that’s also what makes it so exciting. Badlands is messy, bold, and completely original, and it set the tone for everything Halsey would grow into. An unforgettable start.”
Manic
“Some bangers but lots of skips in between them shame”
