    One Direction are simply five pretty guys with a few decent songs and not much personality. Call them One Dimension.

    As a starting point for One Direction fan memorabilia, for which it appears there is limitless potential for the time being, this is a perfectly sized, and targeted, collection.

    If a tween-pop empire is what these boys are after, they're definitely headed in the right direction.

    Up All Night is a well-crafted slice of pop you can pop bubbles to.

    I was unimpressed with this CD. I was told many positive things about it, though I heard some things about the band having a lack of anything interesting to offer. They were right.

And that half usually has the most unoriginal, stereotypical music of the entire industry. This band has typical boy band stinkers that has limited appeal and most rely solely off of their teeny-bopping beats. But what they don't understand is that we're SICK of hearing it. Overall the album is a whimsical, pouty-voiced 3/10. Stick to picking up Barbies with limited talent and turning them into pop icons, Hollywood.… Full Review »
