Know Your Enemy

"Despite LP1's effortful attempts to cast Payne as a sexual piranha, the 26-year-old generally comes off as an uptight scold. ... Such are the accidental highs of an album empty of intentional humour, heart, or anything much human at all beyond base carnality. ... Perhaps this leg-crossing horror show is another sign of Payne's prudence: LP1 is a terrible pop album, but very effective contraception."

The Guardian's Laura Snapes reviews former One Direction man Liam Payne's new solo album. The lyrics she quotes are beyond-painful accidental Partridgisms that you could imagine Alan saying to Jill or Sonja.
