One Direction's Niall Horan has claimed that the band's forthcoming second album is "way better" than their debut.
Speaking to The Sun, the teenager said that Take Me Home - set for release on 12 November in the UK - is an improvement on their first album Up All Night.
"It's a million miles away from our old album," he said. "It's a bit more of a live-sounding album. The drums are a bit harder.
"When you make a second album, I think the thing to do is outdo your first one and personally I think we've done that. It's way better."
But the boys have found themselves in a spot of controversy over [uuid=5f540189-997a-48ef-a7b5-d3e9e1bf94b6]their new single[/uuid] Live While We're Young - which is alleged to have "borrowed" its intro from The Clash.
Twitter users have been pointing out the similarity of the guitar-plucking introduction of the song to the punk band's classic Should I Stay Or Should I Go?
