Jul 11, 2013This album is good, but there's a few bad song, especially in the Yearbook Edition. Some people is writing negative reviews just because they hate them, but it doesn't matter, they're making money and you're writing a negative review without making money.

Dec 18, 2013It's still OK. It's better than Up All Night. Although now I'm not a Directioner, I recommend this album. (Just album, not the One Direction.) The lyrics are better than their first album.

Nov 21, 2016full of ambitious bangers, catchy melodies and borderline-satirical ballads about loving someone (almost mocking past summer hit "what makes you beautiful"), one direction drops even trying to be serious on "take me home" and acts like an actual boyband, embracing all the cliches that could possibly come with it, and it's an effort that ends up paying off extremely well in the end.

Feb 16, 2017This actually doesn't suck. I don't know if I am the age category for this but I didn't find it that bad. Vocals are great, One Direction just have the voice there's no doubting that. This album was a bit slow, a lot of ballads that are not that lyrically great but at the end it worked out.

Apr 22, 2014The cheesiness, loads of filler, and overly glossy production are still present and hinder much of what the album had the potential to accomplish.

Nov 27, 2012While 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.

Nov 15, 2012Fittingly for an album whose most-uttered word is "whoa," they seem perpetually awed by their good fortune and the beauty of whoever happens to be standing nearby.
