Harry did the best he could to fill the gap in the vocals, and being one member down meant Louis and Niall had more time to shine, but many of these songs are just meh. While this album absolutely has some bops, I have to say it - it just isn’t the same without Zayn. Lows: “Stand Up,” “Up All Night,” “Stole My Heart” Highs: “What Makes You Beautiful,” “Same Mistakes,” “Moments” But this album is essentially full of cookie-cutter, teeny-bopper pop songs, and while they’re fun for nostalgia purposes, there aren’t many tracks I’d listen to unironically.
Tracks like “What Makes You Beautiful” are some of the most well-known songs of all time, and the stripes and suspenders era will forever be historic. Honestly, by “worst” album I mean “incredible, but slightly less so than the others.” This album is iconic in its own right - as their first record, it’s what skyrocketed them out of UK fame and into the spotlight on the rest of the planet. Though my cardboard cutouts are long gone (or are they…) and all five members - Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - have solo careers, the 10-year anniversary has encouraged me to put my Directioner hat back on and rank the band’s five albums from worst to best, featuring the highs and lows from each. One decade, three concerts, a theatrical movie and countless dollars later, I still have a soft spot for one of the biggest boybands to have ever walked the earth. Though they may be on hiatus, they aren’t gone forever.It’s hard to believe it’s been 10 years since four British boys and one Irish boy from the X Factor “Stole My Heart” (aha) and lead me to purchase every Union Jack-clad item I could get my hands on. The group announced they would be taking a hiatus in 2016 to relax and focus on their individual solo careers. Zayn Malik decided to leave the band in March 2015, so the group continued with just four members. The group released four more albums between 2013-2015, Take Me Home, Midnight Memories, Four, and Made in the AM. Their first album, Up All Night, was then released in 2012 and the group’s success skyrocketed. The group was originally made up of Harry Styles, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson, and Liam Payne who all auditioned as solo artists. They all made it to the “bootcamp” stage of the competition as individuals, but did not make it to the “Judges’ Houses.” However, instead of being eliminated, Simon decided to put them together as a group and they ultimately finished in third place. Following the show, One Direction was then signed to Syco Records and they released their first major single, “What Makes You Beautiful,” in September 2011.
One Direction is an English boy band that was formed on the British version of The X Factor in 2010, thanks to Simon Cowell.
