There's also a newfound confidence in their vocals. Styles' raspy tone sounds much more at home in this sort of rock sound than it ever did on bubblegum pop. Horan and Tomlinson, who barely advanced beyond backup vocals on their debut, have really leveled up here; Horan flexes an appealing growl on that first verse of "Where Do Broken Hearts Go" and Tomlinson's reedy tenor is in especially fine form on "No Control," punching out the chorus like the vocal equivalent of a pelvic thrust. Payne and Malik are still the workhorse vocalists of the group, providing much-needed texture and the occasional showboating flourish. It's Malik's lush falsetto melisma on lead single "Steal My Girl" that really kicks the song into gear.

Wait that's so nice for Legend N and Lois
Finally being paid more than dust
I wasn't sure if I should say anything, but that's probably the weirdest ranking of their albums I've ever seen
