Dec 13, 2013In my opinion, this is without a doubt the best album they have ever made. Their sound has matured so much and they no longer sound like the stereotypical boy band. Immensely proud of them
-
Dec 3, 2013This album shows how the boys sound has matured, some songs are upbeat and catchy and some are more mature. They don't seem afraid to sing about love. This album is really good and the best one yet. I'm sure this isn't the last we hear from One Direction.
-
Dec 3, 2013I really really like their new album, I think the songs are more mature and rocky.
It's such a good album and I don't understand any of you who gave it negative votes.
They have really grown and I'm so proud of them. Gotta love 'em! -
Dec 27, 2013I like the new One Direction sound a lot! There is a lot of glam rock on Midnight Memories, performed with fun and energy. The boys love music and show business. Many songs bring a big smile on my face. I respect One Direction for this new direction. They remind me of the young Rolling Stones. All their voices blend very nicely, and its defenitely a beautiful vocal album as well.

Dec 16, 2014Best album of the boy band, few songs on it are bad and they show why they are doing so successfully with great vocals.
Highlights: Happily and storng
Lows: Something Great and Does He Know -

Nov 27, 2013“Midnight Memories” is one of the best boyband albuns.. there was a vocal evolution!! this is the best album of one direction and the most mature album
-
Feb 18, 2014Album is full of catchy hooks. But they try too hard to sound mature and sometimes steal from other real bands. These guys have a long way to go if they want respect from men musically.
-
Nov 28, 2013Es el mejor album que he escuchado de One Direction, es muy entretenido, muy bailable tambien, es uno de los mejores del año, sin duda se esforzaron mucho esta vez, tiene grandes canciones con maravillosas letras

Dec 8, 2013This album is a real trash. I hope the boy bands disappear in the near future, because the young girls need GOOG music. Multiple tracks of the CD is a plagiarism of the work of other artists.
-
Dec 4, 2013Their best album yet..they have matured and so has their music. "Little Black Dress" was recorded 70's style...band, group all in one room in one take.,, very impressive.

Dec 1, 2013After two albums of One Direction trying to find their sound, Midnight Memories proves that this is the sound they have been looking for. This album is very guitar driven and makes for a great start to end listen. I look forward to hearing more from these guys in the future.
-
Dec 1, 2013I just like the album. I think it has is an interesting mix and I can't wait to hear more of the boys. Love them or hate them... The album is much better than expected.
-
Oct 15, 2015Well I just listened to this album because Made in the AM is going to be released soon and I wanted tocheck their style.. al I have to says is that they tried to be rock and they're more pop than Katy Perry. STOP PLEASE. Why the **** are they so popular.. there are better artists, young audience. I hope their new album will be better...
-
Nov 27, 2013'Midnight Memories' would be a better album if it were the first, the bad luck of it, it came right after 'Take Me Home' which in any aspect is better.
Most often, here, the error is the same that dominates the 'Up All Night', alone, the vocals flow, but together, do not work. -

Dec 4, 2013That album is just amazing!!!! I can't believe how great songs there are! Incredible. i think they are really grown up and their music too! You have to hear it you won't regret it
-
Nov 30, 2013There are around 18 songs on the Deluxe version but I can count in only one hand the number of songs which I think are worth listening to. We needed a One Direction evolution but what we are having right now is not just yet there.
-
Nov 26, 2013Al though, it had 16 tracks, most of them were plain boring except for the singles which were catchy. It is too rocky and common sounding lately therefore I am giving this low rating. Though, I loved the name of the album, it is wonderous. So, the album was a money waster and not worth it.
-
Dec 6, 2013midnight memories? shattered memories! this "album" (that i listened for error, a fatal error) is the worst nightmare of my life! and i'm a ungrammatical spaceship! now tell me why those five (they're five?) "singers" (who makes the music?) are soo famous.... music is going to die.
-
Dec 2, 2013unfortunately it´s not a good album, it is very superficial and weak, there is not good vibes and influences,, it´s very cliche and not good, the songs aren´t great, it´s worse than take me home and up all night, so it´s not a good evolution for them, certainly one direction is walking in a wrong way.
-
Nov 29, 2013Sounds like an album of rejected songs from their previous album, Take Me Home. Nothing new. The only bearable song to listen to is 'Alive,' which sadly is only a bonus track.
-
Dec 3, 2013One Direction continue to shamelessly kill music. They represent what's wrong with music today and still can't even write their derivative pop crap on their own. Though like all groups like them they will be irrelevant in a year or two.
-
Nov 28, 2013My goodness, what a pathetic album. I could tell just by previewing each of the tracks on iTunes (each preview is around 90 seconds) that I wasn't going to like it at all. If you're a boy band, it's going to be really hard to move away from that sound, and 1D fails that transition here. Stick with the bubblegum pop and I'll give a 2 or a 3 next time.

Feb 13, 2017Bom album, diferente daqueles 2 lixos chamados Up All Night e Take Me Home, esse album é maravilhoso, Amém foi ai que 1D ficou bom, Reis, Four Pisa mas esse album é hinario, 59 é o cu de vocês
-
Aug 31, 2020This is their worst album despite having their best song on it. Aptly named Best Song Ever. This album feels tired as they continue to sing about the one girl for them.
-
Jul 25, 2015It's honestly not as bad as I expected, but it's also nothing particularly special. I'm no fangirl/boy but I am also no hater. I can take it for what it is, a fun pop album with nothing great and nothing terrible at the same time. Pretty much in the middle.
-
Jan 24, 2016With One Direction I didn't think their albums could get worse but there it is they did and this is shambolic at best. At times this album makes me ashamed to be British and very little achieves that feat.
-
Jun 20, 2014This album is amazing!! One Direction maked a big big big change in their style and in the music. This is my favourite! I'm not surprised that it was the most sold in the UK in 2013...
-
Aug 14, 2014This album is different than the other two, but it's better. It's more pop rock. I really love this album. This album has a little bit of folk too. Some dance songs, some romantic songs, is amazing how they can do different songs.

Nov 7, 2015I didn't like it, i think it is very incomplete, i needed something else in this album. Music very nasty, and boring, I hope that 1D get better as long as the time pass by.
-
Sep 23, 2015personally , i think that this album is their best , story of my life , diana , happily , and don't forget where you belong are the best songs in this abum really love it it's a mature sound
-
Nov 13, 2015is a really good album, with more maturity from one direction, a set of melodies on vocals, it's amazing the new tactic was in their lives, it's beautiful
-
Nov 15, 2015I know most One Direction fans hate this album because it deviated so much from their traditional pop sound but this album was really a turning point for One Direction. Still, I loved it. The band really matured in their style and they didn't have that prim and polished look that most people knew them for on Take Me Home and Up All Night. Plus, this album had a nice rock edge to it.
-
May 30, 2016I don't understand why this had such a low score, when this is easily their best album. The ones after this are just repetitive, and boring (especially Made In The A.M.). The boys really showed growth with this album, it was easily their best era. Songs like "Strong", "Happily", "Story Of My Life", "Right Now" and "You & I" shine on this album.
-

Feb 16, 2017This album has both the best and the worst tracks One Direction /their team/ has ever come up with. But it's still my favorite. They're still pop, yes, but they moved out of their comfort safe zone a bit and added a little bit of something what's not rock but leads to it, something new and something I really liked. I am glad this album is out here because it really has something there.
-
Jul 25, 2017a mi me re encantó la verdad, sobre todo Happily, Strong, y Diana, creo que es similar a Up all night, pero me encantó, En ese tiempo la voz de Harry ha desarrollado tanto como la de los demás chicos, se merecen un 10.

Jan 31, 2020Midnight memories, foi um álbum da One Direction com músicas diferentes do que eles costumam nos entregar. Me surpreendeu bastante e eu acho que os meninos gostaram de ir por um novo caminho, explorar outros estilos musicais.
-
Feb 2, 2020One Direction's best album ever!
And I can't believe that it hasn't a good rate! -
Jul 12, 2020Take a listen to anything but the singles and then we can talk. One Direction supremacy. Y'all are just misogynistic and think that young girls can't have a proper music taste. I wrote an entire research paper on this. One Direction was popular because they were good. Thank you.

Aug 26, 2021This is my favourite 1d album. The rock influence in it, is just great. The vocals in You & I and Best Song Ever are incredible. The sound has matured here and the songs are still catchy as hell. I really recommend it!

Apr 22, 2014Midnight Memories takes the slight progression of Take Me Home and demolishes it.
-
Dec 2, 2013They joyfully plunder rock riffs and hip-hop beats, but a logjam of lousy ballads suggests Bryan Adams embodies their ideal of maturity.

Dec 2, 2013If maturing means 14 (regular edition) tracks of footy-stadium-worthy anthemic choruses ad nauseam, I don’t want 1-D to grow up.
