One Direction's latest album, "Made in the A.M.", dropped Friday, Nov. 13th. The band has decided to take a hiatus after the release of this album, especially because the last five years have been non-stop.

Ever since their bronze finish on UK's "The X Factor," the lives of Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan, Liam Payne and, before he left, Zayn Malik, have been filled with touring, recording, singing, appearances, awards and other famous people stuff.

Here is my definitive, and extremely opinionated, ranking of all five of One Direction's albums:

1. "Four" (2014)

After the release of "Steal My Girl", I was personally worried that this album would just be so-so. I was wrong. This album really showed that the group could do more than just bubble-gum pop and could be deep and more mature, which is why it's my favorite.

They talk about "adult things" (like compromise, and cheating) and prove how much they've grown up from the five lads on "The X Factor." You'll be dancing one moment and crying the next.

This album made me fall in love with One Direction all over again, but for different reasons than the first two albums.

Alyssa's Picks: "Stockholm Syndrome," "Fool's Gold," "Clouds" (Note: picking just three songs for this album was SO HARD, but I felt like I couldn't copy and paste the majority of the track listing.)

Easily forgettable: "Spaces," "Once In A Lifetime"

Should I buy the bonus tracks?: I would strongly advise you to. Take note of the upbeat and slightly-promiscuous "Change Your Ticket" and the opening of "Illusion." Ah-mazing.

2. "Take Me Home" (2012)

A very, very close second to "Four," the band's sophomore album came out in what I believe was the height of their popularity. It was the same One Direction in brand spanking new packaging. The guys were hotter (LOOK AT THEIR HAIR!), the singing was better (Zayn, please sing me to sleep every night), the music videos were much improved (no girls to be envious of, the fans were the stars).

I was a senior in high school, crying and fangirling too much over this band and I do not regret it for a minute. This album holds so many memories, but while drastically different from "Four," has so many just feel-good, get up and dance hits ("C'mon, C'mon") while still having those sweet serenades ("Little Things") and foreshadowing to the next album ("Rock Me").

Alyssa's Picks: "Back For You", "You're Still the One," "Kiss You"

Easily forgettable: "Last First Kiss," "Change My Mind"

Should I buy the bonus tracks?: YES. I still feel as if some of the bonus tracks should have made it on the original version, hence why one of them is one of my top three. I still bawl listening to "Summer Love." And how can I not mention "She's Not Afraid"?!

3. "Made in the A.M." (2015)

In their newest release, the boys prove their strengths without Zayn Malik, who left the group earlier this year. Some fans even speculate that the "A.M." in the title means "After Malik".

The lyrics are great, the vocals pretty amazing, the boys hot as hell. I guess I was just expecting more from this album, like they had something to prove and that they were better off without Zayn, but just kept in line with what they were already doing.

They have officially shed their "X Factor" boys skin and are more mature, raw and exposed. This album flies under the radar and models itself more like "Four" than "Take Me Home", and it has its moments (like the first single "Drag Me Down" or retro-inspired "Olivia"), but it feels like it's missing something. (Maybe their fifth member... too soon?)

Alyssa's Picks: "What A Feeling," "History," "Never Enough"

Easily forgettable: "Long Way Down," "I Want to Write You a Song" (despite mirroring the Beatles's "Blackbird")

Should I buy the bonus tracks?: Absolutely. I love "Wolves" and I wonder why the title track is only a bonus track. "Temporary Fix" is a tiny glimpse back to the boys in the "Take Me Home" era with that mature edge they have developed since then.

4. "Up All Night" (2011, U.S. 2012)

Aww, fetus One Direction! The band's debut album after placing third in the UK's "The X Factor" and the boys proved that they can win hearts of all ages just by belting it. They honestly did the best thing they could have by choosing "What Makes You Beautiful" as their first single, so good job to whomever's decision that was.

However, they have a mold for every song, including having Liam or Harry sing the most, Zayn singing the high notes and preserving Louis and Niall's voices for backup. This album is fourth in the lineup for that reason -- Louis and Niall are equally as talented as the rest of them.

Alyssa's Picks: "I Wish," "Tell Me A Lie," "One Thing"

Easily forgettable: "Stole My Heart," "Taken"

Should I buy the bonus tracks?: Maybe. They're good, and I encourage you to, but unless you feel like you're going to suddenly become obsessed with them, you aren't missing much, except for "Moments," which is written by good pal Ed Sheeran. This is another reason why this album ranks fourth.

5. "Midnight Memories" (2013)

Here, One Direction tries out an edgier, rockier feel. Many music critics and parents alike pointed out similarities to classic rock songs, like "Midnight Memories" and Def Leopard or "Best Song Ever" and the Who.

Metaphorically, this is the middle child in a family full of prodigies that is still talented, but not quite up to par with the others. I feel as if people just bought this album because it had One Direction's name plastered on it ("Better Than Words" can help serve as evidence; the entire song is just different lines from popular songs jumbled together.)

There are a few diamonds in the rough ("Story of My Life") and ones just for the fans ("Diana"), but this album could never stand alone. P.S. shout out to Niall for wearing a University of Wisconsin t-shirt.

Alyssa's Picks: "Happily," "Through the Dark," "Little Black Dress"

Easily forgettable: "Something Great," "Half A Heart"

Should I buy the bonus tracks?: Probably not. "Why Don't We Go There?" is fun. "Alive" is a bit awkward. "Does He Know?" takes a few too many cues from Rick Springfield's "Jessie's Girl." "Half A Heart" while sweet, is totally forgettable and a little too Ed Sheeran-esque for this album.
