    What could have been a great album turns into crap when 1D sends a barrel of pure sh*t at our ears. This isn't music, it's sound. The vocals are fairly decent, but the lyrics suck, and the 5 idiots of 1D have no personality at all. This album Direction-sucks.

    Commercially crafted catchiness does little to alleviate the effect of the inane lyrics, and musical backing that makes to effort to be original. This is 'music of the moment' in the truest sense; it's purpose being to sell easily digestable sound, rather than pushing the genre forward.

    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 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. NotThere is absolutely no excuse for this group's music. They are in it for the publicity and the money.

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. Expand

    One Directions tries to make something original and better from their other album, but uses the same love and pop sound to be successful. But fails miserably.

    One Direction are very less talented than lots of other boy bands in the world, however they think that they are the best. They are always judging The Wanted but they are very much mature, talented and interesting that 1D. The crazy female fans of theirs are immature and hysterical stupid teenagers that don't even know what is music.

The crazy female fans of theirs are immature and hysterical stupid teenagers that don't even know what is music. They only like that obvious and uninteresting songs with vague lyrics that 1D and a lot more bad pop artists today do. If we give them a classic to hear, a rock song, a sound from the 80's or songs with consisting lyrics (real music) they say that is boring and that they hate it. So One Direction base their talent and music skills in trifling and unintelligent girl's opinions. I wouldn't like to do that but they live in the illusion that they are a great band. So let's live the poor boys alone! Expand

    this album is awful They are a bad boyband and that's for sure sorry for saying this but for example Louis Tomlinson doesn't know how to sing at all. They only have fans because they're pretty boys but look at Jonas Brothers and Tokio Hotel they also had loads of fans and now anyone knows where they are and I think that's what will happen to one direction.

    Agradeçam as composições de Ed Sheeran, pra conseguir dar ao menos um suspiro de dignidade ao grupo! Canções completamente infantis, falta de maturidade, onde nem mesmo os integrantes se sentem a vontade cantando as músicas deste álbum. Poor One Direction. ''Take Me Home'' is a holy ****

    I will continue to bash their albums as they aren't awful they are diabolical like with all their other albums I listened to them once and simply regretted it. I won't pick a song you should listen to all I can say is don't listen to this album.

    one directions most consistent album even though far rom their best. it's brand of guitar rift heavy hand clap pop is planed here and execute to varying results. Commercially crafted catchiness does little to alleviate the effect of the inane lyrics, and musical backing that makes no effort to be original.

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

    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.

    Fittingly 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.
