One Direction's fourth album FOUR was released at 11 PM last night. I don't know if I've ever said this, but I have to have the actual CD - I don't buy albums on iTunes. I won't have the CD until Friday (don't worry, my mom already bought it), so to hold me over until then, I bought the deluxe tracks on iTunes last night.
They have had better deluxe tracks.
All of their deluxe albums thus far have had some of my favorite One Direction songs on them - "Nobody Compares," "Does He Know," etc...
My favorite album of theirs is Midnight Memories. I loved the edge they had with that album, but they still had some stuff that sounded like a mature continuation of Take Me Home, like "Best Song Ever," and some stuff that sounded like current British folk rock, like "Through the Dark." I'm hoping this album as a whole can live up to the edgy potential it should.
I have not listened to the songs yet because I'm waiting for Friday when I have the CD in my possession. From what I have heard, though (ie "Steal My Girl," "Night Changes," and "Fireproof"), the album put together isn't bad.
"Illusion" on the deluxe version is my favorite deluxe track - I love it. The opening measures sound like "Little White Lies" from their third album. "Act My Age" is very fitting for the only Irishman in the group, Niall Horan, with the Irish kick to it. The song doesn't have as quite an edgy sound as a Dropkick Murphys song, though.
"Change Your Ticket" sounds like a song by The Script.... or a very pop-y song by The 1975. That one is my second favorite deluxe track. And "Once in a Lifetime" reminds me something but I can't remember. That one's my least favorite on the deluxe album, but I'll listen to it over and over anyway because I know every word to every single One Direction song and there's no way I'm stopping now.
I've been listening to the deluxe tracks since I started this post. As I continue to listen, they're not terrible at all. And from what I have heard from the album, I'm pretty excited to listen to the rest of it. When there was just Up All Night out, I loved it. Then when Take Me Home was released, that one became my favorite and then the same thing happened with Midnight Memories. I just hope the same thing happens with FOUR.
