Not So "Perfect"

By: Kimberly Benavente

'Made in the A.M' is a popular album by the famous boy band 'One Direction'. Since this is the group's last album  before the break they were hard at work giving the fans what they want. "Made in the A.M." is available at any store with an electronics department. 

The album features a variety of songs to lift your spirits up. Take 'Temporary fix' for example, the song is a rock inspired song compared to 'If I could fly' which takes on a more emotional road. This entire month that the album has been out I've listened to it almost everywhere. From bedtime, to riding to my cousin's house, and even grocery shopping, this album really possesses the perfect balance between songs that aren't to sad and emotional and songs that make you want to dance. Overall 'Made in the A.M.' sounds really different compared to One Direction's other albums 'Take me home', and 'Four'. This may be because Zayn is missing, but from the sound of it'One Direction doesn't need Zayn just to sound good. 

This album might have a lot of positive takes but 'Made in the A.M.' certainly wasn't 'Perfect.' When the album was leaked, the leaked album featured some songs that didn't quite make it into the album. 'Home' for example was released as a single but was not a part of the album. Another negative about this album is that you get tired of the first few songs really easily. 'Drag me down' for example was played all over the radio but now that it's released on an album people tend to skip it a lot. Also some songs include the same lyrics that another song in the album includes which makes them sound the same. 'Olivia' and 'Temporary fix' for example both include lyrics about someone lying in bed with they're t-shirt on. Maybe it's just a coincidence but it still leaves a sour taste in your mouth! 

'Made in the A.M.' is a great album. It has a nice variety of songs, which in my opinion sound quite good. Even though 'Made in the A.M.' is not perfect the boys worked very hard to give they're fans what they wanted.
