One Direction Album Review



 Overall:
The album is pretty much what one would expect from the group. Its formulaic but well executed. Even most of the songs one would call “filler” are generally quality and not throwaways. I feel that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts which was one of my problems with their first outing. I actually respect that they don't feel the need to pander to the hipsters out there by having a rap track, a dance track, and thank god there is no no veer towards R&B radio. Just pop...which is as it should be. The album is meant to be fun, and it is. That is not to say that it does not have issues. Some of the songs sound a bit too similar in style to the singles from “Up All Night” making them a bit redundant, and Little Things is a sellout and artistic flop if I have ever seen one. Still, they don't try to apologize for being what they are, which is as it should be.

The track on the album that is probably the most similar to the style/vibe of their hits on “Up All Night”. Its a solid pop anthem but I feel it lacks the something extra that made “You Don't Know Your Beautiful” a massive radio hit. Still a solid, fun song, that I can enjoy if I am in the right mood. The song captures the persona of the band very well and delivers what the fans expect.

Nice fast paced ditty with good rhythm. Supposedly this will be the next single and thats probably a good thing because, while its not groundbreaking by any means, it is a different style than their previous singles. Lighthearted and really plays to their base without coming of as pandering.

Speaking of pandering.....hi Little Things! First off this song is 100% pander. No way to get around that. It's lyrics are super uncomfortable and essentially are just taking the “What Make's You Beautiful” theme way to far. The song only exists because they wanted a super slow song that even the less uh....vocally adept....members of the band could sound good on solo. No one would ever actually want someone to sing this to them. Even if you move beyond the lyrics its just not a well put together song to begin with.

Nice song. Its a very archetypal ....nothing surprising here to be found. Its a solid attempy but it doesn't cause any emotion from me one way or another. Still, no major complaints to be had. I do think other songs on the album do a better job of what this one is attempting.

Mid tempo track that is pretty much exactly what the title implies. Its very obvious that this is going to be a fangirl staple for a long, long time. Would not be at all surprised if this end up as a single if their management does not want to mess with the formula. I personally don't find the song to be all that catchy so meh.

Reminds me of an Avril Lavigne track, especially at the start. Really nothing special about this song in my humble opinion. Very typical.

Blatantly inspired by “We Will Rock You” by Queen, but it is well executed. Fun song that isn't too “pandery” and no filler. I don't think this has much of a chance of becoming a single, but I think it is a very nice change-up in the middle of the album. I enjoy the song quite a bit. Also it's a showcase of the thinly veiled sexual innuendo that the band is slowly getting known for. This helps it have a broader appeal I think.

Another ballad in a similar vein to “Little Things”. Its a much better song though as it is has far less pander. Still......I see this song as mostly filler. Itt does pick up a bit at the end and I do enjoy it now and again.

Filler, but GOOD filler. Its very catchy and fast paced. This one has more pander than the average track and it is very, very obviously and blatantly appealing to school age girls. The lack of wiggle room with the lyrics makes it harder for the song to appeal to a larger base, but its not bad enough that I feel like complaining about it too much. Still a nice track.

The lyrics are a bit...all over the place and random. The song does get moving fairly quickly though so it doesn't bother me as much as it could. Of the three ballads that fill the same niche in the album.....this is by far the best. Nice heartfelt song with lyrics that lend themselves to a wide range of interpretations which broadens its appeal. I like it. It has a charm to it that Little Things lacks. It is very easy to tell who is singing, and their different voices actually improve the song (poor Louis).

This song is back to the original formula. Another song I don't have a hard time imagining on the first album. Filler. Still its a solid song.

One of those songs you swear you have heard before because its a very familiar sound. Still its a well executed song that I really can enjoy, and I think it is accessible to a broad audience. I REALLY liked it when I first heard it, but my enthusiasm has cooled a bit since then. Still, I have no major concerns.

Another song I could swear I have heard before.....however, I don't really care in this case. I really like the song as a well executed album ender. I love this type of track and can tell I will be listening to it for a very long time. Warm and fuzzy is how I would describe it.

I like the song. Sometimes the lyrics sound a little bit forced so there are fillers during the verse. Also another very familiar rhythm. Still its fun and faced paced with a catchy chorus. Solid if shallow.

Journey? I guess there is something to be said for just being blatant when copying another songs sound. I really can't get past that like I can with Rock Me. Meh.

The opening had my expectations low...... then the moment the song starts to pick up its amazing in my opinion. This is a song I will be listening to for a long time with its nice swing. I could totally see myself dancing on a beach to this song. It has just the right amount of pandering to make the song appealing without being uncomfortable/condescending. I like this type of song in general rhythm and I won't apologize for that. Easily my favorite song on the album along with Over Again.

A different rhythm than any of the other songs on the album. Solid song but not one of my favorites.

One Direction + Harry Styles Nude Fake + General Thoughts + Go VOTE!


 (If you don't like 1D bear with me.....they are my current obsession but I have a very short attention span.)

So One Direction is big right now (as many have noticed) and they are releasing an album in the next weekish or so.....so thought I would share my thoughts on them. 

The Group: I am a HUGE fan of reality TV singing shows so that doesn't bother me at all. I love the way that there were thrown together and achieved huge success. I believe their friendship is real...mainly because at the age of 16-17 guys tend to get along with one another really well. I think the variety of looks and personalities is a huge plus for the group.

Sexuality: I don't know if any of them are gay. I don't think they would admit it (yet) even if they were. One could surmise that the almost teasing amount of sexual tension could be a tool used to draw away attention from one or two of them that are actually gay. However, I don't think we have any real method of knowing so meh. Its their own business.

Music: I like some of their tracks. Not what draws me to them (obviously). They pander a lot which isn't my thing....but whatever works for them.

Harry Styles: I don't know if I buy his reputation as a womanizer or not. He seems like a funny enough guy. Love his hair. He was also so fucking adorable on X Factor....cheeky bastard. No one should be allowed to be that cute.

Liam Payne: Of the group he is the "marry, buy a house, have 3 kids, etc" type. He looks older than he is (compared to the others...always been that way) and is definitely the best overall singer in the group which is something I can always appreciate. His hair styles have gone downhill though imo....his best is still his X Factor cut.

Louis Tomlinson: The funny one....a bit of an attention whore when they make vids. To me he is someone I would like to hang out with occasionally but would probably annoy the fuck out of me if I had to spend a LOT of time with him. However, DAT ASS! Also his looks have only improved over time....he was smokin at the football game. He also comes off as a little self righteous and indignant occasionally. Soooooo conflicted.

Niall Horan: The puppy of the group. He is adorable to say the least. His singing leaves much to be desired but one does not just get over how adorable Irish accents are. He is the one I would like to keep as a pet lol.

Zayn Malik: Not necessarily my cup of tea. I like him but his (and Harry's) tattoo's are getting a bit out of hand. In 5 years they are going to be PLASTERED. That said....I can appreciate his quieter personality and he is the one that looks most adorable when sleeping *creepy grin*. He is also a nice singer with a good range.

Anyways FAKES. Decided to do another Harry Styles naked fake with a theme. I liked how the last one turned out.
 Made a smaller one for those who don't want extras.
 As you can see. Decided to throw in the nipples on this one. However, tattoo's are a pain in the ass. I tried it on a Bieber and it never produces a good result so just gunna not worry about them lol.

Also if you EVER want me to do minor customizations to fakes just let me know. Text or color changes take literally no time at all. Can add captions, etc.



ELECTIONS: Please my friends. If you live in the US please remember to vote. If anyone tells you your vote does not matter....punch them in the balls..... I will be sooooo depressed if haters win :(

1D Poll attempt #2

Ok so trying this again. Blogger's polls are all fucked up and keep resetting to 0. Planning on working on a few more 1D fakes over the next couple days and having a blog post where ALL I do is talk about my thoughts/opinions on the boys. Should be fun.
