319/365

So for roughly seven hours Friday, I listened to One Direction's new album, Made in the A.M. To be honest, and I know I've said it before, this is hands down One Direction's best album yet. I was constantly floored by the amazing vocals, thrilling lyrics and old school sound. So obviously, we should take it song by song. I'm gonna break it in a couple of parts as well, since the album is quite long.

Hey Angel

A great song to start off the album. Lyrics are very real, relatable. I was pretty excited for this song when Harry Styles started teasing the lyrics on twitter, but it was unlike anything I expected. With a title like Hey Angel, I expected something slower and more longing/heartfelt but this was very catchy and almost poppy. I really like it. Favorite lyric: Tell me, do you ever cry when we waste away our lives?

Drag Me Down

Drag Me Down was the first single from the album and it truly pumped me up. It was a good single. I don't have too much to say about it, because we've all heard it. I like it but I do find myself skipping it on the actual album whenever I listen to it. Favorite lyric:   I've got a river for a soul, and baby you're a boat

Perfect

Another great single; poppy without being like anything the band has done before. A great single, I think, to bring in people who aren't the typical fan [read: teenage girls]. Music video is not that great to me and I'm not a huge fan of the song in general but it is catchy and fun to sing along to. Favorite lyric: I might never be the hand you put your heart in, or the arms that hold you anytime you want them but that doesn't mean we can't live here in the moment, 'cause I can be the one you love from time to time

Infinity

Great song that I think needs more recognition. It's very catchy and fun to sing to and I think very relatable in places. It's hard to talk about songs that you've listened to for a while, but I really think this is one of the really great songs -- not the best but. Favorite lyric: And now I'm one step closer to being two steps far from you, when everybody wants you

End of the Day

To be honest, I could listen to this forever. This is so lovely and so... it makes you want to be in love I think and I find that quality in songs very nice. Poppy and fun. It sounds like two songs put in one and somehow it works in a way that you wouldn't think it would. I really love it. And truly, if anyone ever said that Louis Tomlinson's voice was the weakest in the band then they were sorely mistaken. Favorite lyric: All I know at the end of the day is you love who you love, there ain't no other way

catch you later,

I might never be the hand you put your heart in
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them
But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment
‘Cause I can be the one you love from time to time
