I congratulate him on his improvement. It's just that when Zayn took of his ear piece right before the chorus

Which guy are you talking about?

Omg I didn't even notice it!
I have a love/hate ship with JT but it's painfully obvious that Liam adores the man

I agree, Liam needs to stawp

im so happy they are slaying so hard rn
i think this will be their biggest/best era yet

& tbh im so tired of u guys trying to drag Harry when he is obviously singing very well his hair is perfect & his style is amazing
the dislike for him here is really sad
idk why u guys have such a problem with him but maybe u guys can have a blog or something to get out all ur mean comments cos its getting really anoying how u guys fill pages making nasty comments about him

this is supposed to be a place where we talk about 1D not single out one member right?
i was told i wasnt allowed to gush about how perfect he is so why r u guys allowed to go on & on about how awful u think he is?
double standard much?

Oh Penny. I drag Harry because I have a hard time trying to deny my feelings.
But it's true. I hate myself for it.

Anyway, it's a bit over the top, yeah but usually it's in fun. Also some of us are pretty hard on Harry because he tends to have the easiest parts of the lyrics and his vocals are a little too strained. I guess you could say that some of us are harsh because of the vocalists we listen to.

Penny. When was the last time we talked about Niall or Zayn in this thread

If you wanna talk about Harry you gotta accept that there will be praise and criticism. You provide so much praise on your own that the rest of us just stick to criticism.

d i just spit water all over my screen.

I love Harry but there's something wrong in the way he tries to sing SOML. I don't know what's funnier, Harry and whatever he's doing in all this performances or Louis pretending his mic is turned on in the chorus
Niall and Zayn give me chills every time they sing. Liam, well, he's just there

His belting is the main issue really. It's really pitchy in the chorus parts.

Niall and Zayn honestly have the nicer parts of the song. Albeit they get paid more dust like a certain other boyband.

So have you guys found a spare stancard for me yet?

Girl, you have no idea how many we stocked up over the last month. We could practically reoutfit half of them for lunch cards.

You oughta post more. It's a friendly base.

[dirrtydiana]

Right Now's verses sound exactly like the Backstreet Boys' verses in Inconsolable

[naomi24]

Finally got a chance to listen to all the tracks...so far my favorites are surprisingly the tracks that got released:

Top songs atm (excluding singles and Diana):

Strong
MM / Little White Lies
Happily
better than words
alive

Can't understand why people like 'You and I'...seems so bland after MM Same with 'Little Black Dress' except I felt this was too much electric guitar

[dirrtydiana]

U&I is a Ziam song and I just love the emotions that Liam's and Zayn's voices arouse in me. I love everything from the instrumental to the lyrics. It's got an old school Enrique Iglesias feel that throws me back to some great days in my childhood.

EntertainmentWise: Three years since their emergence on X Factor, One Direction are a global phenomenon and rightly so. Whilst cynics may be quick to dismiss their music as lacking a real sense of worth, this is their best album to date. They’ve managed to combine totally irresistible choruses with a pop rock sound that seems indicative of a fantastically matured new direction for One Direction.

Gulf news: Overall, Midnight Memories seems to be the band’s most compelling and honest release yet, showcasing what three years of making music, touring the world, and filming a documentary has done for the evolution of their sound.If you’ve ever thought to yourself that you’ll never be a One Direction fan, this will likely be the album to change your mind.

"It's fair to say that there's little of the pure pop that defined their debut Up All Night and follow-up Take Me Home. In fact, the majority of Midnight Memories can be divided up into one of two categories — folksy acoustic numbers obviously inspired by the likes of Mumford and Sons, The Lumineers et al., and as indicated by its tongue-in-cheek The Who-inspired lead single, 'Best Song Ever,' air guitar anthems that wouldn't sound out of place in the 'Rock Of Ages' musical ... 'Little Black Dress' suggests Harry Styles has now embraced his mini-Mick Jagger label with its swaggering vintage The Rolling Stones-esque production; while a boyband certainly no stranger to the world of guitars, McFly, help to provide the album's big lighters-in-the-air moment with the 'stay grounded' epic, 'Don't Forget Where You Belong.' ... Despite the occasional lapse into the whole 'new boring' movement therefore, Midnight Memories is still an enjoyable, if surprisingly retro, listen which suggests One Direction's position at the top of the boyband chain is assured for at least another year. — Jon O'Brien, Yahoo! UK

Anyone wanna compile an average?

------------

Ugh the lyrics to Strong is so amazing

My hands, your hands / Tight up like two ships drifting / Weightless, waves try to break it / I'd do anything to save it
...
My heart, your heart / Sit tight like bookends / Pages between us / Written with no end

And the suggestion behind you say you're a good girl, but I know you would girl

[Musickid203]

Is there a spare stan card for me too

[BambiStar]

Penny, I really hope that us talking about Harry isn't hurting your feelings or anything because most of the time it isn't that serious. Most of us don't stan for Harry so it's so much easier for us to be blunt about him The boys have always been fair game in this Base. Any of them could get dragged and all of them do at some point. You can say whatever you want about Liam, it doesn't change how much I like him.

I was saying stop posting so much Ziam cause it's cuteness overload

I love that picture! King Liam looking at his future

[TheBronxGirl]

The album is better than what I expected, but some of the songs are boring. There are some gems on here, but still boring. Up All Night is still my favorite album.

[TheBronxGirl]

Penny it's not that serious.

[Musickid203]

Up All Night is really their best album to me too TBG

[dirrtydiana]

Oh yes. Cuteness overload for sure

And you make a huge point, Bambi. I admire ya and have lots to learn still.


I can't get over Britney saying "Take Me Home" on Her song Alien and Niall saying "Scream&Shout" in a MM song

[TheBronxGirl]

I didn't like Diana before, but it is a bop.

[dirrtydiana]

Yes I am a bop

[TheBronxGirl]

Diana is OK. I don't hate it like I used to, and I expect it to be the second single.

It is still a middle of the pack track though. Very generic.

[naomi24]

Btw diana, Liam is the first writer for Little White Lies. Looks like he's going into naughty list

[TheBronxGirl]

Liam looks good in the deluxe booklet.

[Retro]

So I just did my scores for this album out of boredom. Every song is amazing, and long story short, it's tied as my #1 album ever as far as raw score. It's a 98.3, which I've only ever given to Ray of Light and Oops! ...I Did It Again.

Damn.

lol. I honestly don't like it as much as their last album.

I agree it is great though. Easily my favorite album of the year.
