Disco, Occasionally has arrived, and it\u2026 exists. Hey, it\u2019s not terrible. The songs are perfectly pleasant to fall asleep to on an aeroplane. But when a musician has been an inescapable part of UK pop culture for 15 years, it shouldn\u2019t be an ask for their music to be at least mildly interesting. The album\u2019s title is easily the most unique bit. I\u2019m still waiting for the disco part.<\/p>\n<p>So, here is a totally biased, overly opinionated ranking of all the songs on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/harry-styles\">Harry Styles<\/a>\u2018s new album by how overhyped they are:<\/p>\n<h2><strong>12. Are You Listening Yet?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This song did get my attention. The creepy humming is a bit different! The drums bring energy! Some lyrics \u2013 \u201cyour therapist\u2019s well-fed\u201d are moderately innovative! What a pity the rest of the album isn\u2019t worth listening to.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>11. Paint By Numbers<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Woah, even Harry Styles is over Harry Styles.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>10. Carla\u2019s Song<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This track made more sense to me once I\u2019d read up on it. Harry Styles says the song is about when he introduced Simon &amp; Garfunkel to a friend and blew her mind, then her reaction restored his faith in the power of music and the meaning of life and whatnot, blah blah blah. It\u2019s a pity the last two minutes are so repetitive. Did Harry run out of words in his vocabulary?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>9. Coming Up Roses<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The violins are a nice break from Harry\u2019s mumbling.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DVh8zCWiB2e\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><strong>8. The Waiting Game<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/one-direction\">What Makes You Beautiful<\/a> in a gloomier font.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>7. Season 2 Weight Loss<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The name and the concept really interested me. The rest did not. Harry sings: \u201cIt\u2019s hard to tell when the thoughts are my own.\u201d What thoughts, exactly? I couldn\u2019t find any after the first verse.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>6. Ready, Steady, Go!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A nice song for TV producers to use in the background of a highlights montage of the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/tag\/olympics\">Olympics<\/a>, while Clare Balding has a coffee break.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>5. Dance No More<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This is an adequate track to awkwardly shuffle about to in a club while you wait for the vodka shots to kick in. In <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=oTA637pJ63Y\">an interview <\/a>with Zane Lowe, Harry called this song \u201cthe freest and most fun I think we\u2019ve had in the studio\u201d. God, I dread to think how dull his other days at work are.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>4. Pop<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I can only assume this song \u2013 with the brain-dead verses, repetitive chorus and half-hearted attempts at double entendre \u2013 is satirising the genre of pop music. Otherwise\u2026 yikes. I\u2019m happy for Harry that he got laid twice, but I don\u2019t need to hear about it on my way to work.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>3. Aperture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Harry Styles - Aperture (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7sxVHYZ_PnA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>I totally get why some people love this, and long for the synth sounds at the start to swallow them up. But I have heard this song on the radio at least once per day since 23rd January. So, I\u2019ve listened to Harry Styles moan \u201cwe belong together\u201d a minimum of 552 times. That\u2019s too much.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>2. Taste Back<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Apple Music informs me I have listened to this 11 times, yet I honestly can\u2019t recall a single word.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>1. American Girls<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Okay, his friends are in love with American girls. And? Does anyone have a decent explanation for why this song is being played so much? Is it just because it\u2019s second on the album, and everybody is already sick of Aperture? Surely, this is the most hyped song on Harry Styles\u2019s new album (and possibly the world).<\/p>\n<p><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">For more like this,\u00a0<\/i><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thetabglobal\/?locale=en_GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thetabglobal\/?locale=en_GB\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">like The Tab on Facebook<\/a><\/i><\/b><i data-stringify-type=\"italic\">.<\/i><\/p>\n<p><em>Featured images via <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=o6jQo3-iCao\">YouTube<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source thetab.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How did this take him four years?!
