UP ALL NIGHT (2011)
1. what makes you beautiful
not their best song by far, it’s a banger though and earns bonus points for being their very first song. liam, harry and zayn’s vocals are iconic. louis and niall don’t have solos. that makes me mad. 6.5/10

2. gotta be you
can’t believe liam really hit us with “i’m the foolish one that you anointed with your heart” in the first verse. lyrically, not a strong song, but harry’s highest note is forever iconic. i often wonder if he could still hit it today. bit boring though. 6/10

3. one thing
superior to wmyb. vocals for all the boys are on point. definitely earns bonus points for having louis’ and niall’s first solos (and they don’t disappoint). it’s a banger and should be more appreciated. 7/10

4. more than this
bit of a sad song. the boys are pathetically pining. it’s a little boring, but their harmonies in the choruses are great, and niall’s vocals in his solo are good and i always loved his live note changes. 5.5/10

5. up all night
absolute banger. can’t believe the guy singing “katy perry’s on replay” is the same guy that released fine line. not lyrically strong. i would even say weak. good song to lose your fucking shit to, though. no solos for louis and niall. 6/10

6. i wish
love when the drums come in on liam’s solo. their vocals are awesome but i don’t love the synth in the background of the choruses. unfortunately, that’s a common theme on this album. the bridge has a great beat. no solos for louis and niall. 5.5/10

7. tell me a lie
written by our lord and saviour, kelly clarkson, and you can tell. definitely sounds like a kelly clarkson song but it’s a fucking bop. the chorus goes hard, but again with the fucking synth and no solos once again for louis or niall. annoying as fuck. 6.5/10

8. taken
gets so much hate for absolutely no reason. the instrumental is amazing and the song uses actual instruments. harry leads the choruses and vocally is incredible considering he was seventeen when he recorded it. still no motherfucking solos for louis and niall. 6/10

9. i want
best song on the whole album. i get goosebumps when I hear that opening piano. the whole instrumental break with the drums and guitar combined is life-changing. zayn’s vocals are on point. louis and niall get a few lines each. 9/10

10. everything about you
terrible lyrics. like, these lyrics were found at the bottom of a raccoon infested garbage bin covered in worms and slimy shit. it’s still a banger though and slaps instrumentally. louis and niall have solos but the lyrics let them down, so. 3/10

11. same mistakes
not great lyrically. can’t believe it opens with “circles, we’re going in circles, dizzy’s all it makes us”. kind of a boring chorus. their vocals are the only thing that saves this song. and the instrumental, i guess. no louis and niall solos. 4.5/10

12. save you tonight
mediocre lyrics. gave us the iconic “i can’t be no superman, but for you, i’ll be superhuman”. slaps instrumentally but i hate the synth. niall gets pretty crap lines and louis’ solo is good but again, shit lyrics let him down. 4/10

13. stole my heart
if they were on eurovision, this would be their song. the chorus is an absolute rager. i have gone so hard to this song. harry’s voice during the choruses is virtually unrecognisable, no solos for niall and louis. 5/10

14. stand up
starts off really promising. has a good beat and the chorus goes so hard. completely loses the plot once it reaches zayn’s bridge and we hear the lines “i’m a thief, i’m a thief (you can call me a thief)” over and over again. turns to absolute shit after that. 5/10

15. moments
thank you very much, ed sheeran. all their vocals are incredible. they all get reasonable solos. do I need to say more than zayn’s bridge? magnificent. show stopping. makes me cry every time I hear it. 8/10

16. another world
goes so fucking hard. i have lost my mind to this song on way too many occasions. lyrics are crap. louis’ solo lets him down. same goes for niall’s (very fucking short) identical solos. zayn’s high note is extremely underrated, though. 4/10

17. na na na
very repetitive. the choruses, lyrically, are horse shit. niall has said this is possibly their worst song and i have to agree. instrumentally, it slaps, back when i had no taste, this was my favourite song of theirs. 3/10

18. i should have kissed you
this song is horrendous. “i should, i should oh, i should have kissed you” repeating over and over? no thank you. i can’t think of anything that can save this song. even the instrumental is shit. it’s their absolute worst song. 1/10

TAKE ME HOME (2012)
1. live while we’re young
this song is awesome. great to dance to when you’re sloshed at a party. they were back with a bang and i was not disappointed. all the boys get solos. lyrically, not all that strong but it’s tolerable. this song is a vibe. the guitar is so good. 7/10

2. kiss you
they did not have to go that hard with this song, but i am so glad that they did. “chinny-chin-chins” is legendary. i love the fast tempo of the whole song. zayn’s high note is once again awesome. 7.5/10

3. little things
i strongly dislike this song. they’re basically just pointing out all of a person’s insecurities and saying that they love them despite them. um? very glad that harry changed “but” to “and” in his solo when he sang it live. i don’t like ed sheeran for this. 3/10

4. c’mon c’mon
bad lyrics but instrumentally it slaps the hardest out of all their songs so far. great song to sing at the top of your lungs. zayn’s motherfucking high notes!! 6.5/10

i love this song, honestly. niall’s “ow”s are iconic. their vocals are really strong. it’s kind of a lame song overall but it still goes hard. 6.5/10

7. rock me
very repetitive and the lyrics are weak. not their best vocals (aside from zayn’s high note, of course), it’s got a fun chorus, though. no solo for niall but you can hear him quite clearly in the choruses. 6/10

8. change my mind
gave us the iconic hovering stage on the take me home tour, along with moments. a very chill song. their solos are great and when the instrumental picks up later in the song, i get shivers. 7/10

9. i would
do I need to say more than “he’s got twenty-seven tattoos”? hilarious. such a banger and louis and zayn’s bridge goes so hard. the instrumental in the second half of the chorus is so good. 7.5/10

10. over again
my favourite on this album. louis’ solo is great. i hate the lyric “i can make your tears fall down like the showers that are british”, but it works well in the song to the point where i can ignore it. all their harmonies are perfect. 8/10

11. back for you
a bit underrated. seems to me that locals don’t know this song, and they’re missing out on a banger. niall is the only one without a solo, which upsets me. it’s a little bit boring. 6.5/10

12. they don’t know about us
a common misconception is that louis and harry wrote this song. they didn’t. all their vocals are incredible. zayn’s harmonising high notes towards the end of the song are amazing. niall gets two fucking solos. unprecedented. 8/10

13. summer love
this song tried too hard to be a sad love song. it just ended up being boring. their harmonies are good though, so i’ll give them credit for that. can’t forgive them for “feels like snow in september”. 4/10

banger. banger. banger. god, this song is awesome. i love the instrumental in the chorus. not great lyrically but i can look past it. their vocals are amazing. 7.5/10

i do not and never have liked this song. the chorus is alright, the verses are shit, especially lyrically (“we’re so paris when we kissed”). niall opens the song but his vocals are far from his best. 5/10

18. truly madly deeply
such a sweet song. niall has a great solo and is really able to show off his voice. all their vocals are phenomenal and i love the acoustics. it’s made even better when all the instruments come together for the final chorus. we are not worthy. 8.5/10

absolutely breathtaking. the chorus is beautiful and their harmonising is truly something to behold. this song has my favourite Liam solo (“heartache flips my world around, I’m falling down, down, down, that’s why…”). 7.5/10

MIDNIGHT MEMORIES (2013)
1. best song ever
it’s not their best song ever but it’s pretty awesome. the drums are solid throughout and the chorus is so good. “i got a dirty mouth” is hilarious. the song slaps and this was the beginning of their god tier era. 8/10

i love this song. it’s got a really great message. i’m glad everyone stopped talking about how it was written about princess diana, because it wasn’t. their vocals are great. 7/10

4. midnight memories
niall and harry have the best solos in this song, and in my opinion, this was the first time we ever properly heard how great niall’s voice is. it’s definitely their most rock/pop song on this list so far. the guitar is amazing. 8/10

5. you & i
picks up as it goes along, especially after the big instrumental break. all their vocals are perfect and this might be zayn’s most popular high note, for good reason. 7/10

6. don’t forget where you belong
the instrumental is perfect, and their vocals are spot on. unfortunately, it is a little lame during the chorus when they sing “if you ever feel alone, don’t”. i never skip this song tbh. 8/10

absolutely phenomenal. the pause before the first chorus is wonderful and then harry’s incredible voice belts out “i’m sorry if i say i need you, but i don’t care, i’m not scared of love”. beautiful. poetic. 9/10

such an upbeat song, instrumentally, and the chorus is absolutely fantastic. all their vocals slap, especially in the acoustic version. it’s definitely one of my favourites. 9/10

9. right now
never used to love this song all that much, but it’s grown on me over the years. the san siro project definitely helped and now when i listen to this song i think of that. the instrumental is really moving and they all sing with so much emotion. makes me cry. 8/10

10. little black dress
had potential to be better. i love their vocals and the instrumental but i think a bit more structure (clearer verses, choruses and a bridge) would have made it better. still a good song and always had a really great energy when they performed it live. 7/10

top five for me. i used to think that the chorus was a bit boring but i have a lot more appreciation for it now. i especially love louis’ solo at the end, which i used to think didn’t fit very well in the song, but it’s a perfect way to close it. 9/10

14. better than words
this song is ingenious. using other song titles to make up the words for the verses? incredible. a great decision by louis and liam. i feel like louis and harry’s bridge isn’t talked about enough, because holy shit. 9/10

amazing live. the chorus is really catchy. weirdly, i sometimes forget that this song exists. niall’s fast-paced bridge is sick and this song is overall criminally underrated by the whole fandom. 8/10

has the same chords as more than this. the lack of excessive instruments lets their voices shine. the drums come in on louis’ solo and it really adds to the song. 7/10

FOUR (2014)

heartbreaking and phenomenal. louis’ voice really shines and when they all sing in the second chorus, i sob. “we took a chánce” is easily one of their most iconic lines. this is one of the best songs on this album. 10/10

they’re all amazing on this, as per usual. it gets extra points for being the last single zayn sang on, but i think maybe i’ve just heard it too many times, so it bores me a bit. 7/10

9. fireproof
this is their best song ever. nothing beats this song. i don’t have the words to describe it. Their harmonies, the guitar at the beginning followed by the drums, bass and harry’s voice starting at the same time? superb. my favourite song of all time. 1,784,291/10

their harmonies are incredible. they only performed it live once at a show in san diego which i take personal offense to, considering i went to the same tour and didn’t get to see it. their voices are perfection. 8/10

very hot. the “oh, baby, look what you’ve done to me” destroyed me. will never forget that time Harry said this song is about a nympho on a livestream in front of millions with his whole chest. 10/10

very loud. they had the nerve to open with it at my otra concert. i have never been able to hear the same. other than that, it’s a banger. i will never be over harry screaming “clouds!!!”. 8/10

i hate to say it, this song has never grown on me. i don’t know what it is. i just don’t vibe with it. i have a little boogie to the chorus but other than that it does nothing for me. 6/10

14. illusion
another one i just can’t vibe with. i don’t know why, but i wish i did. i don’t mind the verses. the chorus gives me a headache. i will always go ape shit if it comes on in public, though. it’s so funny to me that it was written about sophia. 6/10

16. act my age
peak meme material. gets so much hate and for what? slapping? it’s so irish. niall didn’t even co-write it. very surprising considering what a slut for the homeland he is. 10/10

MADE IN THE A.M. (2015)
1. hey angel
this song starts with a fucking bang and is solid the whole way through. louis and liam’s bridge is specifically amazing. the underlying message is heartbreaking, though. they all stepped up their vocals and showed everyone how great they really are. 8/10

3. perfect

6. if i could fly
their vocals!! the part where they sing a line each? mesmerising. the lyrics are strong and the single piano throughout the whole song, later accompanied by the violin, is beautiful. one of their very best songs. i get chills when i hear it. 12/10

7. long way down
very mellow. the metaphors used are beautiful. all their voices are beyond perfect. niall opens the song very well. the song suits all their voices amazingly. liam’s repeating of variants of “long way down” ends the song in a really effective way. 9/10

9. olivia
niall and liam hit their low notes like champs. harry’s bridge sounds like pure imagination from willy wonka & the chocolate factory. the instrumental slaps and louis makes the end of the song his bitch. 9/10

10. what a feeling
truly god tier. chill vibe and great lyrics. instrumentally very strong. the guitar is amazing and you can definitely tell that dreams by fleetwood mac inspired it. the chorus is phenomenal. 12/10

11. love you goodbye
a song about break-up sex. i feel physical pain when niall sings “my heart’s already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife”. another louis high note!! we are not worthy. 9.5/10

13. history
without getting to mushy, it makes me sad and it makes me miss zayn and the good old days. i go hard to the chorus and louis’ bridge, though. this is not the end. 9/10

14. temporary fix
sex in a song. no control but make it hotter. harry moans in the background of louis’ bridge and then screams and it’s a lot, okay? can’t believe niall wrote this song. 12/10

15. walking in the wind
i’ve always said this song is about zayn. it breaks my heart. harry’s vocals towards the end (“oh yeah!”) are godly, however. really great chorus. i love the guitar. rhis is one of harry’s best songs that he wrote for the band. 9/10

16. wolves
niall gets three solos. we’ve come so far from the up all night era. this song is criminally underrated. an absolute banger and very unlike any of their other songs, which is a nice change. 9.5/10

17. a.m.
perfect way to end an album and an incomprehensibly astounding five years. makes me sad. all their vocals are extraordinary. even more special because all four of them wrote it. “asses” is iconic. 10/10

OTHERS
1. one way or another (teenage kicks)
a great cover and they blended the two songs seamlessly. for an early song, all their vocals are great. i love when harry screams “oh yeah!” at 1.51. raised more than £1 million for comic relief, which is amazing. 8/10

a beautiful song with really strong lyrics and outstanding vocals. at the risk of sounding really fucking gross and cheesy, they do make this feel like home. 13/10
