Really the only songs I don't like are Little Things, Heart Attack(borderline), and Loved You First.

Very excited. Hopefully they don't delay it too long. My guess is they will give it till after Christmas.
Just listened to the Target Bonus Tracks.
Review:
Irresistible - 3/5
Fairly generic song. Has some similar sounds to other tracks on the album but has a different tempo. Not a bad track but nothing I would get overly excited about. One of the more "filler" songs I have heard from them but I can enjoy it.
Magic - 2.5/5
I sense a theme coming on. Both tracks thus far are essentially taking the essence of a song they are already known for and setting it to a different beat. Nothing special here........kind of a cliche track at this point.
Truly, Madly, Deeply - 4/5
Similar overall vibe to Little Things but a much different execution. The best track of the three imo. Still has a few cringe worthy lyrics....but I tend to get over those after a few listens. Solid....but not spectacular.
Edit:Listened a few more times and really like it...bumped score.
In conclusion. Pretty much what you would expect. NOT worth buying another copy over though. All three are slow to mid tempo...an upbeat ditty would have been very welcome.

Hate to break it to you but almost every post on this page is about the music.....continue with your delusions though, its cute.
Stay pressed and wishing you fav's were worth posting pics of.
Would you have bought their albums if they looked like
And sounded like... well what one direction sound like? ( I mean I might have just for the novelty factor!)
Also.
I google 'bad boy band' for pictures, and its like nothing but one direction >.>
Face it, you are listening with your eyes, not your ears.

Glad to hear your opinion that other people cannot legitimately like anything you don't like. Lends a great deal of legitimacy to your argument. I do love their music....as do many others. I know its hard to wrap your head around.
Not going to lie....looks/personality don't hurt. Its part of the industry...a certain level of attractiveness is usually required to take off.
I would say that people are no more attracted to young boy bands for their looks than other people are repelled by the same thing. One Direction could be making the greatest music of all time and hipsters here on gaf would still hate them for being young, attractive, and popular. How is that any different? (obviously not true for everyone)

You and legit arguments don't mesh well do they?
She is NOT a part of the music scene. Never had a single. Never charted on pop charts. She is there for novelty factor and to buy albums for 50+ mothers. If anything she is popular BECAUSE of how different she is. (Though TBH her popularity is near nill at this point...albums not selling much.)
Not even slightly relevant other than for the lulz factor.
Entertainment is a rounded experience brah

You are so full of shit lol.
I don't think you know the first thing about them.....you just see popular young people and throw out labels and generalizations.
1D are miles ahead of those others you listed in terms of musicality (playing instruments etc) and vocal ability.....this is fact.
Wafflecakes
Member
This is true....but it is interesting that whenever called out on a lie/distortion you go off on some distracting tangent.
You say no music discussion is occurring....I point out the WHOLE page was music discussion.
Silence.
You ask if we REALLY like their music. I say yes. You respond with essentially "too bad you don't really like it because I say so". Essentially writing off any opinion other than your own.
Wha?
You accuse us of listening with our eyes. I say thats part of the reality of the pop music scene...however, that doesn't make everyone with looks bad. You respond with a troll Susan Boyle post.
Srsly?
You claim they are at Brit/Bieber levels of talent...no......BELOW that level....which is verifiable untrue. (not to mention that its a good thing popgaf is asleep with your brit comments lol)
oops time to change the subject
Then some stupid thing about eyephones.
So here is my question. Do you have ANYTHING to contribute other than taking wild ferocious dumps all over any possible legit discussion because you want to hide that fact that you HATE anything popular or hip?
Nope?.....move along please.

Quoting myself since we got sidetracked and apparently we don't discuss "music" in this thread.

Just wow. Saying that brain dead britney has talent...
I didn't know there were some "Target bonus tracks". How does this work? What is Target and Japan doing to get special bonus tracks?
I want to listen to those songs!
They are up on youtube. Fairly easy to find.
Target is really pushing the album which is probably why they get a special edition.
Whats this about Japan?
The Target thing reminded me that Japan usually gets bonus tracks, and I've never understood why. I don't know if they got bonus for Take Me Home... uhm...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Take_Me_Home_(One_Direction_album)#Track_listing
Japanese bonus tracks.

Fuck that
Now I have to do ANOTHER review.....lol.
At minimum you should listen to Truly, Madly, Deeply. The song grows on me each time I listen to it. It does everything I WISH Little Things had done.
Ah coolio.
Wafflecakes
Member
probably, I know an American boyband wouldn't act like them
or maybe its something else
Pretty much this.
Though imo it's now a part of their persona that they play up a great deal......it drives the fangirls nuts. Its also a nice contrast to Bieber who seems to go out of his way to look as straight as he can possibly be (though he does a terrible job) which is important because they have a very similar target audience.
So whether they are actually gay, just British, genius businessmen, or some combination.....whatever they are doing is working out well for them.
Edit: Oh an this for those who don't read popgaf regularly. Two week total of 700k+
I see waffle is holding down the castle as always. Love yah lots. BTW my fav tracks are
1. "Live While We're Young"
2. "Kiss You"
3. "Little Things"
4. "C'mon, C'mon"
5. "Last First Kiss"
6. "Heart Attack"
7. "Rock Me"
8. "Change My Mind"
9. "I Would"
10. "Over Again"
11. "Back for You"
12. "They Don't Know About Us"
13. "Summer Love"
Out of these I only really love 1,2,4,7,8,10 and 11.
Although tbh I care for the entire album much more than the first one. I actually listened to both back and back and I REALLY see the improvement in the second album.

I agree. I now think it is far superior to their first outing. Great stuff.

lol yeah.
If you had to choose ONE track what would it be? Just curious.

Interesting.
For me its Over again (or Nobody Compares if bonus tracks included).
From the first its Making the Same Mistakes (Up All Night #2 just because its so fun).
For me any song that reminds me TOO much of another song it annoys me. Which is what keeps Rock Me down off the top. Same with Stole My Heart and Loved You First.

Over again is lovely tho I cant hate on that. I kinda wondering why they didnt add some tech like beats into this new album. Seems like everyone is jumping on that kick right now.

Pft.
Doubters be damned.
Also NEW NEWS.
Should be fun. I generally enjoy their interviews....though American hosts ask the most damned generic questions.
Update: Oh also they are apparently releasing a "fragrance".....meh.
Wafflecakes

They have dolls, fragance, accesories, movie, what's next???
I don't even want to think about it.......marketing/product gimmick's aren't my thing.
Also I need to choose an avatar. I like the one I have now but I am not sold on it. Made a shitton. I will post a few.
May just cycle through them until one sticks.
