Good to see that normal life is working out so well for him.

Subbing in Adam Levine as a 5th member was an odd choice.

"it's maybe their least arena rock thing yet so i'm prob just experiencing withdrawal"
yeah, i get it. i was excited when one of them said that the new record has fleetwood mac vibes, but this single it's completely different from what i expected/wanted. but, as isabel cole wrote, "every time i listen to these assholes for the first time in a while i remember how harry’s voice goes straight to my groin", i can't change that, even when i don't enjoy the songs so much as i wanted.

I have a terrible copy that I heard enough last week to know I won't like it as much as Four. The songwriting done gone flat.

this is definitely less good than four (there are what, three fake beatles tracks and four ballads here?) but whatever i'm still emotionally devastated

A more good rewrite of "crush" would be the best song in the world, surely.

Only listened once but, aww man, I can already tell I'll never love this like I do Four. Maybe a better rip will help. I miss Zayn's melisma, the way he really dug into 1D's pretty standard melodies and pulled out complexity and soul.
That said, it's pretty consistently decent after one pass and "Perfect" and "Never Enough" are already all-timers
― bunny slopes, Sunday, 8 November 2015 23:44 (eight years ago) link
Ha -- for a while I've preferred 1D's album tracks to their singles.
― The burrito of ennui (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Sunday, 8 November 2015 23:47 (eight years ago) link
'What a feeling' Is a obvious highlight for me. Kinda fireproof Pt.2
And although I've been reading that 'hey angel' Is a descendent from verve, to me it sounds a lot like robbie williams. But, as brad nelson wrote, I'm also emotionally devastated by this.
― Nourry, Monday, 9 November 2015 01:49 (eight years ago) link
Really warmed up to this more than I thought I would! I mean, it is not the miracle of Four but what is? "If I Could Fly" is a turd and TOTALLY Harry but I'll take it over "18"
Everything else is great, including all cheesy Beatle-isms and Tango-era Fleetwood Mac and Paul Simon bites

I like One Direction because when I hear them, when I look at them, I realize how quickly they will be gone. How quickly I will be gone and I feel very grateful to be here. One Direction is all brevity, tender flowers, a reminder of mortality, a reminder to live with joy. It's more that 1D reminds me I am going to die. Which of course, makes me a much better mom because, for me, at their shows, I feel certain nothing beside kindness matters when youth, life, beauty are so brief. 1D fills both my daughters and me with joy, with love. That comes back as kindness.
