One Direction’s ‘Made In The A.M.’: One-Word Reviews

One Direction’s fifth—and possibly final—album, “Made
In The A.M”, dropped on Friday. 

In many ways “MITAM” is the end of a chapter for
the four lads, as they go their separate ways for a two-year hiatus.

The tracks are more pop than 1D’s last two efforts, “Midnight
Memories” and “Four,” but arguably they’re their most personal.

“MITAM” is the perfect benchmark to One Direction’s
meteoric rise to success, as the boys leave behind a chaotic year. Not only did
they lose fifth member Zayn Malik, but they each experienced major life changes,
individually.

Liam broke up with his girlfriend of two years, while Louis
broke up with his girlfriend of four years. It was later revealed Louis and
friend Briana Jungwirth were expecting a child together. As for Harry, he was
busy fielding questions about his relationship with Taylor Swift, as her song “Style”
became a #1 hit.

two-year 1D drought. See you in 2018, boys.
