never have four consistently gross-looking young dudes recorded such fine pop

No Control, Change Your Ticket, and Steal My Girl alone make this worth your time. The whole album is great.

They seem like okay kids, but they're definitely too far on the Ryan Tedder/OneRepublic end of pop music for me to embrace any of their songs.

they aren't bad looking imo

Oh hang on, I just got to "Stockholm Syndrome." It (most likely unintentionally) sounds like "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" imo.

very. with a little bit of that one Haim song too.

classic pop/rock pastiche is a big part of the 1D brand. there are the singles that sound like "Baba O'Reilly," "Pour Some Sugar On Me" and "Faithfully," and one of the bonus tracks on Midnight Memories sounds like "Jessie's Girl." xp

one thing about the one direction album is that it's such a throwback to when an album meant something - a thematically well-strung together, well developed whole unit that does rigorous world building and echoing musical motifs
― Mordy, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 21:04 (nine years ago) link
at different times through the year, i think i would've called Ineffable my fave album of the year. it's fucking great.

xp to Alfred - Tedder is one of the chief architects of the very blocky strict measure for measure pop that dominates both top 40 and country radio that sounds like they just dragged and dropped songs into being using Logic. I won't get into it all here—in fact I may never get into it because it seems to go nowhere anytime I do—but it's a formula I don't like at all.

their blockiness is stadium rock-derived. not that tedder's isn't i guess
Isn't there a thread for pics of musicians and their synths?

I voted for and named this album.
― The Reverend, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 21:17 (nine years ago) link
I hear more traditional guitar-bass-drums arrangements and climaxes, with a power pop bass. Tedder can't resist electronified white gospel rave-ups.

You're still distracted by the flourishes. I'm talking about the very skeleton of the songs. (It had already begun to take that turn before OneRepublic ever happened, but he's ballooned the style certainly.)
― Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 21:19 (nine years ago) link
Back to Ineffable, though...this is great!

This album took a while, and it's not as indelible imo as There's More Where That Came From, but the singing and playing are first-rate.
was about to say the same, awesome cover!
― xelab, Tuesday, 27 January 2015 21:26 (nine years ago) link
Really hoping the rest of the album sounds like "All His Saints".

It sounds like you're saying "he writes pop songs using the rules for constructing a pop song", which I don't believe is what you're trying to say.

Well hey, "Chances Are" is some good old slow country too. I'm guess Lee Ann isn't beholden to the big pop country sound? Please don't betray me, album. I want to like you.
