    A pretty weak debut with the blandest music imaginable, albeit Catchy. The strength is their impressive vocals, especially from Harry Styles. Overall an unimpressive but promising debut.

    Para um primeiro album de rapazes na faixa etária de 17/18/19 anos, ele é perfeito

    They have talent, they can sing. And they are One Direction so there's countless haters and hardcore fans who are both going to overdo this so much. For me, this is an average album. Some tracks are great, some truly suck and some are just somewhere in the middle and that's okay. Maybe it's all the same, the lyrics is a bit bad but this is a band for teenagers - girls.

Maybe it's all the same, the lyrics is a bit bad but this is a band for teenagers - girls. They never meant to affect adults so all of this is completely acceptable and they are just good at what they try to do. I also have to admit that this album is their biggest weakness. Expand

    Sounds the same thing in the whole album, the lyrics it's not that great, but the vocals is good. Is easily a bad album. "More than this" is the best in this LP.

    is 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

    I'm going to keep this simple. Up All Night is just another album by a manufactured pop act made simply to earn money and soil 13 year old musically illiterate girls' pants.

    The record is full of semi-catchy melodies with simple and basic lyrics, that only music uneducated 13-year-olds would like. Simply, Up All Night is an very bad album.

    Salva-se umas 5 faixas de resto meio descartável. Best Songs More Than This, One Thing, Gotta Be You e Same Mistakes. de um álbum com 18 músicas e só isso prestar, é complicado, mostra-se baixa qualidade.

    eard. They're nothing more than 5 Justin Bieber's and they will never get to the level of previous boys bands they're obviously copying like Backstrehjjjjj

    Apparently One direction has a disability when it comes to singing! i have not listen to their albums or music but they S U C K at singing, dancing. 13 year old girls will giggle and dance to the gay album of one direction and they think their gonna get laid from a silly gay band no way

    Every song is the same. It's boring. "What Makes You Beautiful" "Gotta Be You" and "I Want".. these songs aren't that bad.. especially "I Want."... but uhhm.. overall.. it's just boring.

    One Direction is a terrible band which humans REALLY don't like. Heck, I'd rather listen to a screaming monkey, they are five Justin Biebers, and anyone who likes these people have a disease or something.

    It's OK (2/5), I guess. I think they just copy most of other boy bands especially Backstreet Boys. (Although I'm 13 y/o) When I listen their songs over and over again, I feel BBBBBBOOOOOORRRRRRIIIIIINNNNNGGGG.

    One Direction's Up All Night fails utterly as an album. The ridiculous hit single that launched them to stardom "What Makes You Beautiful" is a rather clunky song. The drum transition towards the chorus is off-tempo, the repetition that goes "do-o-or" and "en-ou-ou-ough" seem tacked on and the lyrics aren't even thought out properly.

    "I don't know why... you're being shy..." Cheap

    "I don't know why... you're being shy..."

    Cheap rhyme that's bland and uncreative. What's even worse is that One Direction didn't even write any of their songs. That tells me two things. One: Rami Yacoub, Carl Falk, Savan Kotecha suck at writing songs, and Two: One Direction can't even be to write their songs and share their personal spin on anything. Some creativity they have...

    "One Thing" is one bad thing too many. The song's tone rips off any other song on their album.

    'Taken" is already an unappealing title but the entire chorus sounds tacked on with uninspired lyrics. It just sounds like a bunch of words stuck together mashed with a non-catchy tune.

    Are those 13 year-old+ fan girls blind and deaf? They're not at all that attractive nor are they worth the hype. They are a bunch of X-Factor drop-outs that X-Factor mashed together to make some cheap money-making product by manipulating the idiocy of some (not all) young girls.

    The world may end because this album is a sign of that...

    Genre: Pop
    Not to be confused with the decent 2004 album from indie rock band Razorlight 'Up All Night' is yet another example of how marketing and the power of shows like The X Factor will always be as, if not more, important to success than genuine musical talent.
    Fair enough the boys have OK voices but every song on this debut album is little more than generic pop with unimaginative

    Fair enough the boys have OK voices but every song on this debut album is little more than generic pop with unimaginative arrangement and even more unimaginative lyrics. If you've liked any of the endless number of boy-bands that have been seen since the early 90's then One Direction might be for you but I want much more from my music.

    Group 5 losers with pretty faces and sing without talent is what you get in this album. Despite the fact that [sarcasm] none of them are homosexual [/sarcasm], they still managed to be little hipster teens favorite.

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

    Debut album Up All Night consists of 15 installments of inoffensive daytime radio pop.

    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.
