Also, the cheesy lyrics in some of the songs, such as “End of the Day,” when One Direction sings, “All I know at the end of the day, is you want what you want and you say what you say,” really ruins the overall song for me because I’m diverting my attention to the lyrics.

The opening song from their album, “Hey Angel,” played like a song that should be featured in a movie with it’s earthy vibes and “Drag Me Down” sounded like it was recorded at the last minute, with the unbalanced harmonies, missing Malik’s high tenor voice. “Made in the A.M.,” featured the typical “One Direction sound,” which includes pop, rock and “High School Musical”-esque songs. 16 and the two albums being released on the same day caused controversy among the “Beliebers” and the “Directioners” on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms.Ĭoming out with an album after a member quit, One Direction, comprised of Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Niall Horan, had a big opportunity to show the world that they could survive without Zayn Malik, but their album fell flat. Justin Bieber and One Direction recently released their new albums on Nov.
