UAN has no fillers. Every song is great. The worst song on it, I Want, is 8/10. Nothing on that album is below 8.
4 is def their worst album.

We might get a promo single tonight.  Leaks happen less often these days, I'm seeing a leak around 9th November tbh.

I hope it's Hey Angel. 
And I'm thinking November 4-6. It usually leaks a week before release date.

Honestly? Yes. Having the other three albums as favourites I can understand, but UAN?

I think they're doing 2 more so I'm hopeful for Hey Angel and Never Enough. But apparently What A Feeling, Love You Goodbye and History have also turned up on the Google Play tracklist which is what happened when Perfect/Infinity was about to be released, so who knows.
When did FOUR/Midnight Memories leak? I remember writing a review for Midnight Memories somewhere, I think on GGD. Let me see if I can find it. I was dragging it hard.

It's just not a good album aside from the singles, Moments, Take and Tell Me A Lie. I don't understand how anyone can see that as the peak of their quality.

Best Song Ever 8/10
Never actually heard this all the way through, really decent pop-rock anthem with simple and relateable lyrics. Surprised at the power of their vocals actually.
Story of My Life 9/10
One of my favorites ever since I first heard it, heartfelt and honest song with understated instrumental. Surprised it's not doing better on the charts. Good vocals again.
Diana 9.5/10
One of my favourites, a bubbly pop instrumental with rock elements, a very deep meaning behind the song, I see at as One Direction's 'Hair' and I do see this album as their 'Born This Way', but I'll say more later.
Midnight Memories 9/10
A pure rock jam, I love it. Definitely a summer single that could take over the radio in 2014. Again though, a little too short.
You and I 8.5/10
One of the best ballads, a little quiet though. Showcases their vocals well however. It's probably a grower.
Don't Forget Where You Belong 6.5/10
Ironically I did forget this one, it's nothing special and I feel like it's just here to compliment the other quieter ballads. I don't know.
Strong 8/10
Quite enjoyed the pop elements of this, quite uplifting ballad. Not that special but I like it, will listen to it more and it'll probably resonate more.
Happily 9/10
I love the Mumford & Sons feel that we were promised, it's a perfect mix of country and pop, and I think Radio would appreciate this in January/February as the next single. I love it and it will surprise the GP with how mature it sounds. It's made for festivals and tours also.
Right Now 6.5/10
Kind of forgettable. Definitely not a highlight for me.
Little Black Dress 9/10
I love this. A 90s rock song made for the radio, a little short though. Could have had a stadium rousing bridge but it's still nice as it is. Should be a single.
Through The Dark 9/10
Love the country feel of this as well. Massive song that is made for their stadium tour. The banjos are everything on these country inspired tracks.
Something Great 7/10
It's okay. Not good or bad.
Little White Lies 9.5/10
Perfect blend of dubstep beats and dirty electric guitars create a song that is loud but without sounding messy. Love the message and rock vocals. The breakdown in the bridge is everything.
Better Than Words 9/10
Really nice, a little more tame than the other rock tracks but the album needs it.
Deluxe Tracks
Why Don't We Go There 9/10
Another melodic rock track, I don't think radio would appreciate this but who knows. Really listenable and catchy. Should be on the standard.
Does He Know? 8.5/10
Definitely more reminiscent of their old tracks, it's nice and I definitely like it but it's not as progressive as the other tracks are.
Alive 7.5/10
Bit of a cheap 90s remake, still nice and a good rock anthem just not original in my opinion.
Half A Heart 8/10
Nice ballad to close the album. Not much more to say.
I really like the album, I feel it is a little messy with all the different genres everywhere, hence why it's their Born This Way. I think they may lose a good few fans but gain a lot of critical and public respect with this album. I expect 80+ on metacritic tbh. I was very unsure of this band before hearing this but it's an incredible album and one of the best of 2013.
It's the music that the charts have been needing since Gaga left. Anthemic pop-rock that everyone can learn the words to and relate. They'll gain more male fans as well.
Overall rating: 8.5
|
Mess.  More positive than I remembered but those descriptions are a damn mess. Country?  I knew absolutely nothing about music. I knew the tea on DFWYB though. And not me kind of dragging Alive when I stan for it now.

What on earth possessed me to give WDWGT and DHK? 9 and 8.5?  They are 7s at best.

What if this is the first time one of their promo singles doesn't go #1? Adelegend still has an 80% lead on Justin.
A girl got FOUR in Brazil like 10 days before its release date and she was recording the songs with her phone and posting them on Tumblr.

Midnight Memories is truly their best album.  I should have stanned back then. I guess Gaga was too much for me back then to even think about stanning anyone else. Too much.
That's true actually.  #2 is basically #1 for the next couple of months in terms of singles. As childish as it sounds, I'll be happy as long as they are above Justin.
Oh really? Jesus Christ.  Why do I feel like a 1D album leak is the messiest and most frustrating thing ever? As stans of mostly pop girls, we know it doesn't really matter and yet still leaks on ATRL are frustrating. I dread to think what we're in for, especially when we're up against Justin.

If the album leaks, they will still be No.1. No worries at all.

Oh of course, we know that because we're rational. But the Twitter stans are not like that.

I was dragging Little Things in front of my friends and they got really mad and started saying how 'I can't relate because I'm not a girl'. That's like saying we can't relate to Stockholm Syndrome because we're not ****ing Madeline McCann.  It's just an overrated song.
