5. 5 (2015)

“Very different from his more recent stuff. If you aren’t prepared for a more intimate listening experience then this isn’t for you. It’s much more acoustic and vocals heavy which isn’t necessarily everyone’s favorite. However, if you’re a fan of Ed Sheeran then this is an important collection to see where he has come from.”

4. No. 6 Collaborations Project (2019)

“This album is a great addition to his body of work. The fact that he can cross over so many genres and collaborate with such a broad range of artists is mind-blowing. There is something for everyone on this album (unless maybe you’re into twangy country music). Some of the lesser-known collaborators on this album are about to be introduced to another level of fame.”

3. ÷ (Divide) (2017)

“. This album has a mix of some great pop tunes like Castle on the Hill and Shape of You, to some Celtic infused songs like Galway Girl and Nancy Mulligan. There’s even a little rap thrown in along with some of the beautiful ballads we’re used to hearing him do”

2. X (2014)

“Ed Sheeran is the real thing. He shows his diverse talent in this multi level CD, taking us with him from the beginning of love, loss of a loved one, standing for what is right, and comforting those who love us. I’ve been moved by his music and look forward to his future music.”

1. + (2011)

“Ed Sheeran’s “+” is a stunning set, filled with melodic gems. “Drunk” bubbles with Ed’s shotgun lyrics faster than a bullet. “U.N.I.” (you and I) has a similar shotgun lyric and then slows down on the chorus. One wonders how he remembers the lyric like, “And I don’t get waves of missing you anymore, they’re more like tsunami tides in my eyes.” “This” is a gorgeous slow song with Ed’s high pitched voice as fragile as it is gentle, “You are the earth that I will stand upon, You are the words I will sing.”
