This assessment is true-the now foursome of One Direction has declared that after this album they are going on hiatus for at least a year to pursue solo work. “ 1D’s Let It Be, the kind of record the world’s biggest pop group makes when it’s time to say thanks for the memories.” Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone called Made in the A.M. It’s received four out of five stars in reviews from Rolling Stone and Billboard.
And it’s not just me who thinks this-fans have absolutely blown up social media praising the new album. Like, I’ve been listening to it on repeat for 4 days straight good. The album is good-like, really, really good.
To the delight of millions, the remaining members of One Direction-Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, and Harry Styles-pulled together, finished a tour, and released their fifth and by far best studio album.Īfter releasing a series of singles, starting with “Drag Me Down,” followed by “Infinity,” “Perfect,” and “History,” One Direction dropped the highly anticipated Made in the A.M. It seemed like everything was lost, that 1D was destined to suffer the same short shelf-life fate as the noble boy bands that came before them: NSYNC, The Backstreet Boys, The Jonas Brothers. How could the group of boys who had been through the X-Factor, four albums, and world tours suddenly be splitting apart? How could the band possibly go on without arguably one of their strongest singers? Fans lamented the loss of one of the more favored members, and worried about the future of One Direction. Whether you’ve been a One Directioner since the inception of the band, a casual listener, indifferent towards the group, or a staunch opponent of all things good in life, you probably remember the uproar on the Internet in reaction to the news that Zayn was headed in a different direction. Mawas a tumultuous time in music history-it was the day Zayn Malik left One Direction. Courtesy of KEVIN MAZUR/BMA2015/WIREIMAGE and
