One Direction "Up All Night" Review

This Tuesday, One Direction's album "Up All Night" came out, and of course being the Directioner(huge One Direction fan) I am, I got it. It is definitely a great album because the boys in One Direction- Harry, Liam, Zayn, Louis, and Niall, are all from the UK, well except Niall, he's from Ireland, so obviously they have beautiful sounding accents. There are some flaws to the album though.

I love Up All Night for the talent that is behind it. The boys were formed on the X Factor UK so of course they must have gorgeous voices. Also, there are a lot of amazing songs like "I Want", "One Thing", "What Makes You Beautiful", etc. They are also very well written and have so much meaning behind them. I always seem to find foreign singers and musicians better than American ones because foreign singers like Ellie Goulding, Lights, and many more all have a very rich accent and language and their lyrics and vocals tend to be a bit better than your average local. One Direction is also very up-to-date with their songs and their lyrics mix perfectly with their accents and mostly, their personalities.

Some of the down sides about "Up All Night" is how some of the songs are such a cliche. Being boys, their going to try to make girls swoon by telling them how pretty they look or overwhelmed they get when girls flip their hair. It should be quite sappy for my taste because I'm sort of into indie pop or classical types and all that good stuff but something about their music is quite wonderful. Pop music alone doesn't typically suit my fancy and before I really listened to One Direction I would just think, "Ew. The typical boy band. Gross." Also, "Up All Night" has a few songs that just drag on and I can't really get into.

I would give One Direction's "Up All Night" a solid five stars. What?? Five stars to a boy band who have super awesome hair and sing love songs all day? Why, yes, five for you One Direction. You go One Direction. (Insider. You either know it or you don't. Here's a hint: Mean Girls) I think this album was well made and I hope 1D goes far with their talent.
