Liam Payne of One Direction told the UK's Capital FM that fans can expect a bit mellower album for the boys' follow-up to Four.
"The songs have been coming out a bit more chilled," said Liam, who calls the new album "a bit Oasis-y, almost."
Liam goes on to cite Ed Sheeran as an additional influence on 1D's new sound.
"We want this to be quite a long-lasting album that you can listen to anytime, like Ed [Sheeran's] album."
Before we get into this, let's take a moment of silence for Zayn -- former One Direction member (in this Universe at least) who will not be featured on the new album.

"I know Harry Styles. We've hung out a couple of times. They're lovely lads," the British rocker told Rolling Stone. "But I've got to say, I have difficulties with people who don't write their own songs, who've got a team of songwriters who work for your record label."
