    Cheesy lyrics , weak vocals . Tomlinson is still irrelevant in the album , so predictable .
    I am sincerely sorry for all of you twelve-year-old girls who actually like One Direction, because you have NO TASTE IN MUSIC WHATSOEVER! Everything by One Direction or related to them is going to be crap. These four boys are the WORST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD for bringing crap like this into it. Please    Cheesy lyrics , weak vocals .

    Made in the AM is overrated, mediocre, and lame. I wish their team wasn't influencing and buying out media outlets to write puff pieces favoring this dreck of an album. Zayn is sorely missed.

    The songs from this album feels like all the songs that didn't make it to its predecessors. They are pretty boring and the lyrics are very shallow. It's a pretty disappointing album to leave the fans for a boy group that will undergo hiatus.

    Que album chato, são tantas músicas enjoativas que da até vontade de dormir, sinceramente essa pausa foi a melhor escolha pra essa banda, a única música que salva é drag me down

    An album where mostly all the songs sound exactly the same or are rip offs of previous hits by previous artists. There is a reason this album had low sales.

    A true bore of an album One Direction continue to be going downhill and once they do break up properly I will be happy though it needs to come very soon.

    Es hora de que One Direction empiece a cambiar sus formulas, necesitan nuevo estilo y nuevos sonidos. Todas las canciones suenan a lo que han venido haciendo desde que salieron de TXF UK. Honestamente no sé como sus fans no se cansan de escuchar más de lo mismo durante todo estos años. Monótono.

    The album was such a disappointment, i expected something big from One Direction, hoped for something similar to Midnight Memories, but sadly the whole album was a snoozefest.

    Made in the A.M. is like a FOUR Remix album. They never change their style nor their songs themes. Go dislike this review if you want to, but One Direction never ever impress me. The only good songs are Hey Angel, If I Could Fly and Never Enough.

    Um CD reciclado, mal feito, de 17 canções, apenas What a Feeling consegue dar algum tipo de agrado. One Direction está na estrada há 5 anos e apenas no álbum ''Midnight Memories'' tiveram ousadia em mudar o som. Desde então, reciclagem a sonoridade e permanecem com letras bobas e infantis, tão quanto seus fãs, que estão fazendo mutirão pra dar nota 0 pra o Justin e 10 pra esse saco de lixoUm CD reciclado, mal feito, de 17 canções, apenas What a Feeling consegue dar algum tipo de agrado.

    All the songs by One Direction are the same thing. I don't see nothing of different in this album. They can never do something different. Nothing impressive here, I wait that one day 1D can do something different of the rest

    Ugly just ugly. I'll be back when they come back as solo artists, the only one who can make a solo great career is Harry. Still cant believe how Simon Cowell said yes to Louis: he really has zero voice

    They literally sound the same with every album. No versatility whatsoever. Very generic and is complete trash. If you haven't listened to it, don't. It's a waste of time.

    It's funny all of these groupies are putting a 10 even if they have heard 2 songs of the album. Enjoy your boys band, and your bad taste in music though.

    Boys band... What can be good in a mainstream boys band made for girls except in certain facts individual talent ? Nothing. Just commercial songs and album.

    from the first moments of the infectious lead single(also the first music video taken at nasa) ''drag me down'' you hear a band just realizing their power not in fame but in the quality of their music. it was a looming realty o disbandment that when announced made ''made in the a.m'' an exciting goodbye. there is something impressive about how they manage to grasp the duality of theirfrom the first moments of the infectious lead single(also the first music video taken at nasa) ''drag me down'' you hear a band just realizing their power not in fame but in the quality of their music. it was a looming realty o disbandment that when announced made ''made in the a.m'' an exciting goodbye. there is something impressive about how they manage to grasp the duality of their sound which is fusing oldies rock with 90's nsyc boy band pop but here they add an airiness to it such as the fantastic Harry lead ''wolves'' and ''walking in the wind''. one direction always manage impressive singles such as ''perfect'' which gives a romantic trsy a old timey Hollywood treatment. there is a ring of finality throughout that can play as relief at some parts as they experiment more with their sound such ''olivia's'' baritones or ''hey angel's'' near glam rock pallet. but ultimately they regress to their comfort zones like ''i want to write you a song'' humiliating insincerity(instant skip) or ''love you goodbye's'' unoriginal production and lyrics. even so not a disappointing album, but remains as inoffensive as heir discography will seemingly ever be.… Expand

    This is what happens when you let H*rry Styl*s write the most of the album: boring. It sounds awful without Zayn's vocals. Worst One Direction album.

    On Made in the A.M. the group takes advantage of its nothing-to-lose position with a handful of cuts that feel even loosey-goosier than usual.

    Their songwriting shows growth, their vocals remain flawless, the production team continues to throw the occasional curveball to go along with the softballs, and there are plenty of songs that sound like the best pop music has to offer in 2015.

    Instead of making a One Direction farewell album, they made a Take That comeback album.
