    One Direction deliver another immediately catchy mix of dancey pop that maximizes the group's shared lead-vocal approach and peppy, upbeat image.

    The upbeat tracks are as catchy as conjunctivitis.

    Polished and dependable, despite its safety there are some show-stopping pop anthems present.

    Even with so many producers lending a hand, there isn't a dud to be found on the record's thirteen tracks.

    While the album is uniformly sleek and upbeat, a few tunes hew too closely to the generic template; but as boy bands go, fans--and their wary parents--could do much worse.

    There is absolutely no excuse for this group's music. They are in it for the publicity and the money. Nothing they make sounds original orThere is absolutely no excuse for this group's music. They are in it for the publicity and the money. Nothing they make sounds original or appealing other than to idiotic 5-15 year old twits who think Chris Brown is the Messiah of the industry. This isn't even worth buying let alone listen to. Churning out the same **** twice really does get people somewhere because of stupid people. Not recommended for anyone with a vendetta against this satanic organization known as a boy-band. **** please. Now I'm gonna go listen to some real music, if you don't mind.… Full Review »

The vocals are fairly decent, but the lyrics suck, and the 5 idiots of 1D have no personality at all. This album Direction-sucks.… Full Review »
