At their peak,One Directionwere considered the biggest boy band in the world.

These five albums are an impressive, albeit short, discography for a group that continue to make headlines.

The first half ofUp All Nightis great.

This album features songwriting credits from both Ed Sheeran and Kelly Clarkson.

Personally, I see “Does He Know?”

and “Something Great” as this album’s lower points.

Other than that, I can’t help but be impressed by this album time and time again.

The order of the tracks isn’t completely perfect, but the songs nearly are.

It’s also the first album where Horan properly stands out.

Or is that just me?

A One Direction album without one of their strongest vocalists seems like an impossible task on paper.

Nowhere on the album does it feel lacking vocal power in any way.
