This is so otm but I still think in the end (after 10+ listens and beyond) No Control is the better tune. Also to whoever said upthread that Louis's vox on the chorus ruin it for him I soon disagree with. The charm of utilizing his thinner more dainty vocals for a massive hook is just so novel and really makes the song for me

Question: who the hell is singing the "Am I the only? Only believer?" bit in Girl Almighty? Rapgenius doesn't say and I can't tell if its Harry or Zayn. My gut says Zayn but sometimes I hear it otherwise
― MrExplorer, Friday, 23 January 2015 07:29 (nine years ago) link
Another Question: Does anyone else with the CD feel like the mastering is much worse/thinner/quieter on Steal My Girl than on the rest of the tracks?
― MrExplorer, Friday, 23 January 2015 07:31 (nine years ago) link
To insert myself clean into the narrative now: I was very 1d skeptic since they dropped, but I dug WMYB and Little Things. Then the one-two punch of Best Song Ever and SOML hit me like a rocketship and I had to buy Midnight Memories on release day. The rest is stanning alone on the internet history

Also to comment on one thing way upthread re: personal 1d power rankings.
I think how you rank the band members is one thing, and the power rankings are spirit. The one is your solid favs list and is filled with your own biases and the latter is a more fluid thing.
For me my 1-5 is:HarryLouisLiamNiallZayn
But I think the current (Jan 23 2015) 1d power ranking is:HarryZaynLouisNiallLiam
C/D?

"Question: who the hell is singing the "Am I the only? Only believer?" bit in Girl Almighty? Rapgenius doesn't say and I can't tell if its Harry or Zayn. My gut says Zayn but sometimes I hear it otherwise"
It's Zayn, i'm pretty sure.

"Night Changes" peaking at #31 on Billboard after 16 weeks is sad.
― timellison, Thursday, 12 March 2015 23:27 (nine years ago) link
their 3rd-biggest US radio hit, which tells you how little time US radio has for them outside of "What Makes You Beautiful" and "Story of My Life"
― some dude, Thursday, 12 March 2015 23:56 (nine years ago) link
i love "night changes" so much
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 March 2015 04:06 (nine years ago) link
what's the next single? idk if there's anything obvious
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 March 2015 04:09 (nine years ago) link
I could see them going with "Ready to Run" but it seems like maybe heroic Mumford-style power folk is on the way out? Fans have embraced "Stockholm Syndrome" but I don't see it doing much on radio. Maybe "Where Do Broken Hearts Go?"
Personally hoping for sentimental faves "No Control" or "Girl Almighty" but, I mean, they probably wouldn't even scrape the top 40 if "Night Changes" peaked so low.
― bunny slopes, Friday, 13 March 2015 04:21 (nine years ago) link
i was thinking maybe "fireproof" but it doesn't really have a chorus
i think "girl almighty" could do alright... never count out the big strummy stompers
― J0rdan S., Friday, 13 March 2015 04:32 (nine years ago) link
i saw something that suggested "Clouds" is the next single, which is my favorite song by them so i would totally support that even though i dunno if it has a ton of commercial potential.

― Tay-Tay Brooklynpants (Murgatroid), Friday, 13 March 2015 04:48 (nine years ago) link
I always forget about "18" cuz it's the only skipper on the standard album but, damn, a big ballad with the Sheeran stamp might be their best bet. Hoping I'm wrong!

it has made me like the song

I like the song regardless but the clip pushes it to another level for me.
We should poll the competing dates.
― Tim F, Friday, 13 March 2015 17:53 (nine years ago) link
Louis' date looks kinda boring TBH. He seems very pleased with himself.
― Tim F, Friday, 13 March 2015 17:54 (nine years ago) link
that's the point, i would pay good money to watch louis' smug face get arrested

given the pace of constant tours and albums that they've kept up the last 4 years, i can imagine being an unemployed rich guy who merely gets recognized/photographed as he goes about his business would seem pretty appealing

it hasn't hurt Jon Knight anyway, not when Zayn can join the reunion tour in 2031.
