I Think I'm Gonna Win This Time: The One Direction Discography Rate

there is way better teen pop on Up All Night
Where is it.mp4 (No, I actually love One Thing and Tell Me a Lie, and thurrullay unjoiy Stole My Heart. But they're not as good as Beautiful for me. Kiss You is great so if you're telling me there's more like that on Take Me Home I'm here for it.)
You're lucky I typed his name. I considered posting [redacted].
You should have.

I don't know why you're surprised the fandom would be meh on their most ubiquitous song when it doesn't hold a candle to some of their true classics? Which is not to say it's bad.... it's just not their best.

Take Me Home and Four >>>>

I'm not surprised. I'm used to it by now.

But am I right in remembering that the fandom hates Live While We're Young? It's... a 6. I don't hate it, but I sure don't love it, and I can understand the fandom hating it. It's very tryhard.
 
I love Live While We're Young. I think most people have favourable opinions on it.
Only having the one Directioner (no pun intended) friend may have skewed my perceptions, I_CANNOT_USE_REAL_WORDS_PROPERLY_.

Even though they're quite opposed to the main Larry crowd (to the point they refuse to call it Larry and instead call it Lourry, which I find a ridiculous ship name), I think they are kind of insulated in their Directioner crowd.
 
I was going to just send in my original scores but I'm actually really looking forward to listening to everything again.

I'm dreading the bonus tracks, though.

I'm certain I'm too lazy for this.

At least watch the results and comment then!

From what I've seen most people like either Take Me Home or Four the most. I will post my updated scores, but I gave Take Me Home 1 ten and 6-7 nines under the old system. And Four beat that average.
 
Just remembered I now need to choose an 11. I'm torn between Where Do Broken Hearts Go, Little White Lies (a recent discovery that I love), and Perfect.

I've just listened through for the first time. Hmm a lot of their tracks have middling scores but there's lots of gems along the way. Take Me Home seems like their weakest album. The lowest score I gave out is a 3 which is pretty good considering how harsh I am.

What A Feeling, Fireproof and What Makes You Beautiful are currently battling it out for my 11.
 
I'm getting on this right now I've not heard Up All Night, Four and Made In The Am. I own Take Me Home and have heard Midnight Memories on Spotify. This will be uncharted territory for me but from the intro alone I know this rate is going to be amazing.
