One Direction's fifth—and possibly final—album, "Made In The A.M", dropped on Friday.
In many ways "MITAM" is the end of a chapter for the four lads, as they go their separate ways for a two-year hiatus.
The tracks are more pop than 1D's last two efforts, "Midnight Memories" and "Four," but arguably they're their most personal.

"MITAM" is the perfect benchmark to One Direction's meteoric rise to success, as the boys leave behind a chaotic year. Not only did they lose fifth member Zayn Malik, but they each experienced major life changes, individually.
Liam broke up with his girlfriend of two years, while Louis broke up with his girlfriend of four years. It was later revealed Louis and friend Briana Jungwirth were expecting a child together. As for Harry, he was busy fielding questions about his relationship with Taylor Swift, as her song "Style" became a #1 hit.
Access' resident Directioner took a listen to "MITAM," and offered one word that came to mind for each new One Direction song…
