There are yearning ballads, radio-friendly choruses and a fondness for a hybrid of pop and rock that lies somewhere between Take That and Coldplay. The band’s fifth album - and their first since founder member Zayn Malik walked out in the spring - builds on the more mature rock influences that were introduced on 2013’s Midnight Memories and last year’s Four to move the remaining foursome even further away from the blazers and choreographed routines that were the hallmarks of boy bands not so long ago. On the evidence of Made In The A.M., they are at least going out on a musical high.
