Okay, it's been a few weeks since the big release, so I think I can safely assume that by now everyone either owns or at least has listened to One Direction's new album, "Made in the A.M." And I'm also going to assume that you're all loving it as much as I do. Which is a lot.
The glory that is "Made in the A.M.," however, doesn't distract from the fact that it's somewhat of a bittersweet album because, for starters, it's the first that the band's released without Zayn Malik, but it's also the last before the boys go on their year-long hiatus. And that's...really sad for a lot of us. However, the good news is that Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan, and Louis Tomlinson left us with some really amazing songs to tide us over until we all meet again. And here are 10 killer moments from the album that I think we all love in particular:
1. Louis's solo in "Olivia"
I'll be the first to say that Louis was really on his game this album and his vocals in "Olivia" are a definite standout. The way he sings "I live for you I long for you Olivia?" Yeah, I'm pretty much dead every time.
2. Liam's "come ons" in "Never Enough"
So silly and cute! I can only imagine how much fun he was having while recording, and I really hope we'll be able to see this one performed live someday!
3. "If you're looking for someone to write your breakup songs about"
You screamed the first time you heard Harry sing this in "Perfect"...be honest.
4. The chorus in "Drag Me Down"
We've all been singing this one since it was released over the summer, but that doesn't mean we've tired of Niall's amazing vocals.
5. "Temporary Fix"
Honestly, this song is the "No Control" of "Made in the A.M.," and I'm loving it. Fast beat, big chorus, cheeky and sexy lyrics—why the hell wasn't this a single?
6. "Just me, her and the moon"
Based on what I've seen on the Internet so far, I think this might be the fans' favorite lyrics off of the entire album. "End Of The Day" is a great song in general, but these lyrics from the first verse are just the cutest.
7. "What A Feeling"
Listen, if you don't already know that this is the best song on the album, I suggest that you give it another listen and rethink your life because it is. It just is. The best part about it? Hands down the chorus ("What a feeling to be a king beside you somehow/I wish I could be there now.") Oh, and Liam's vocals are just heavenly.
8. "This is not the end/We can make it you know it you know"
I'm pretty sure we all dissolve into tears during "History" anyway, but Louis's solo definitely strikes the biggest chord in us, I think. Because he's right: it's really not the end, it's just not.
9. The bridge of "Walking In The Wind"
So much emotion in Harry's voice—gets me every time. I'm also 99.999 percent sure it's the saddest song on the album, so there's that as well.
10. "Hey Angel"
Yes, I'm completing the list with the album's opener, but it's such a cool song, you know? The vocals are super tight, it has a great vibe in general—and it's such an awesome song to listen to after you've just finished the album and are looking to start all over again. Because how can you not put "Made in the A.M." on repeat, right?
