First Listen: One Direction’s New Album "Take Me Home"

One week from today, One Direction – currently the biggest boyband in the world – will drop their highly anticipated sophomore record Take Me Home. The collection of five young heartthrobs were picked to perform together on the UK’s version of X Factor by Simon Cowell and shortly after caught the attention of young girls everywhere with their first album and catchy single “What Makes You Beautiful”. But can defeat the dreaded curse of the sophomore slump or will they follow in the footsteps of the successful boybands before them (‘N SYNC, Backstreet Boys, New Kids on the Block)?
