That review's unprofessional, misinformed reduction of
Born in the USA to "heart-on-sleeve, slightly cheesy 80s arena anthems" is just pathetic. The "critic" clearly hasn't listened to the album. Where are the comparisons to dark, brooding songs about infidelity ("I'm On Fire"), political statements about the mistreatment of Vietnam war vets ("Born in the USA"), and songs mid life crisis depression ("Dancing in the Dark", "Downbound Train")? That kind of nuanced comparison you'd expect from a professional critic isn't there because One Direction's music (
) bears no resemblance to the
actual music of
Born in the USA.
Between this and their Beyonce fixation, TIME has become a joke.
