One Direction brings back what we loved. In them. In music.
I didn’t want to write about 1D’s new album, but because I wrote about JB, so if I don’t listen to 1D, there will be war ((((: The truth is it’s really rare for us to see princes of Pop publish their albums at the same time. So, the question is, JB or 1D, who’s better? I’m sure, no matter who’s your side, you still love their albums.
No, I don’t mean that 1D fan will love “Made In The A.M” and JB fan will love “Purpose”. I mean the whole world will love the both albums.
If you are a fan of 1D, you should try “Purpose” and the same way for JB fan
I read a lot of reviews before I hit “Made In The A.M”. They say that JB’s album is way better than 1D’s one. It’s not actually. It’s really hard to compare the two albums when they’re both very well done, and they follow the completely different directions. Opposite directions actually. And let me show you why if you are a fan of 1D, you should try “Purpose”.
“Made In The A.M” brings the classic Pop, what we loved, we’re loving, and we definitely will love about Pop, and a litlle bit of Rock. That makes we fell very interested, and we fell “Never Enough”. More than that, it makes this fifth album becomes a ground-breaking goodbye of 1D, instead of a regretful farewell when they seperate each other on next March. “Hey Angel” is a perfect opening and when you choose the standard version or the deluxe version, “History” and “A.M” are both the songs that make we wish they could make another album like this. The only thing that we regret is this is the right time when 1D’s on their peak, they decide to split.
Louis is the hero of the whole album
But like in “End of The Day”: All I know at the end of the day is you love who you love. If you loved this team, you still love them in this album, and even when they’re on their own solo carreer. The perfomance of each person are perfect, but I can completely say that Louis is the hero for the whole album. When Zayn’s gone, Louis suddenly becomes the perfect replacement for the strongest voice of the team. He’s is the hit of ALL songs. “Hey Angel”, “Perfect”, “I Want to Write you A Song” are the excellent songs that Louis’s shine on.
And finally, I can promise with you that the idea of comparing the two new albums of JB and 1D is stupid. JB’s been on top of Pop for so long, his writing ability, his vision are always lead ahead, so making a album with the sound of future for Pop is just a piece of cake for him. But 1D’ve done a magical album. They bring back the sound of the past. The bring back the no-EDM-Pop-success. They give us a not so easy goodbye, not so regretful, not so confused. They bring back the reasons why we love them in the first place, for this final moment of loving them. And that is just enough.
I love how 1D tell the stories of falling in love with someone. They’re from England. I love how the whole album’s a party, even in the slow songs like “Long Way Down” or “I Want to Write You A Song”. I love how I can fine all the emotions, sadness, happy and I even almost cry with “If I Could Fly”. That is a great kind of music. So, a great Pop Rock album? Yes. 1D’s best album? Definitely.
