Look, McFly really aren't that bad. They write their own songs, and play their own music, and to be quite honest with you, they're very talented. Their lyrics are good, because you can actually relate to them. They talk about teens problems in life and the ups and downs of love, which I really respect them for. They've also been a great success in the UK: they've released six singles so far; four of them have climbed to #1, and sure the other two were also hits, and this album also got #1. Their new album Wonderland is also tipped to hit the #1 spot. They've also won their first BRIT award (best pop act - deservedly so), and bagged up an impressive five awards at this years' Smash Hits poll awards, earlier this year, including Danny - sexiest male!
FIVE COLOURS IN HER HAIR
The first single from the album. Reached #1 in the UK and stayed there for two weeks. In the Japanese charts, Five Colours reached #2! This is an awesome song, and should really be remembered as a great track. It is also their signature track, and should not be missed! (Not that anyone hasn't heard it already!!)
OBVIOUSLY
Second single released from the album, reached #1 in the UK, stayed at the top for a week. This is another brill effort from the lads, and I strongly recommend you check it out!
ROOM ON THE 3RD FLOOR
The title track is the fourth and final single from the album, and reached #5 in the UK. This is one of the very few songs on the album that is not about getting a girl, having a girl, or wanting a girl. One of the best on the album.
THAT GIRL
Third single from the album; #2 in UK. This is one of my faves on the album, definately top three. The song is really catchy, the lyrics are quite good, singing is topper, overall excellent song. The guitar solo (by Danny, I believe) is particularly enjoyable.
HYPNOTISED
This is nothing new: McFly fall in love, and then their g/f gives them a heave-ho. HOWEVER, this song is another catchy effort, and Tom's vocals are particularly great. Another stand-out track on the album, but then again, I have many.
SATURDAY NIGHT
Awesome. There's not much needs to be said about this song, apart from: the singing is great, so are the guitar solos, and the lyrics are rediculously, stupidly and un-intelligently great.
MET THIS GIRL
Another song that would be in my top three. This song is SOOOOOOOOOO catchy, I love it, and I don't really have anything else to say about it. The break-down in the middle is the best part!
SHE LEFT ME
If any of you lads out there have just been dumped by your g/f's, this song isn't actually going to help. However, it's one that you'd find at a smoochy, old school disco, and I love it. Probably the slowest song on the album.
DOWN BY THE LAKE
This song is very, very, very, very good, but if I had to choose a weakest song, this would get it! It's about a girl they like, and the girl likes them, but the girls' dad doesn't like McFly, and they make out down by the lake, and the girls' dad sees them...
UNSAID THINGS
This song was my fave song on the album, but due to songs like Five Colours, That Girl and Met This Girl, which I've been listening to alot more lately, it isn't my fave anymore! A girl used to go out with McFly when they were young, now she's married and has a "baaa-aaa-aaa-by" (yes, I said it right!).
SURFER BABE
Another brill song. It's catchy and great!
NOT ALONE
This is the second ballad on the album, the other being She Left Me. This song is one of the best on the album, and was written by Danny. He wrote it when he was 16, two years before McFly released Five Colours. Great!
BROCCOLI
This song is really weird, but it rocks! It's about a girl who was meant to be coming round for tea, and McFly cook for her, and then she doesn't come round anymore. Awwww, bless! Anyway, this song is also humurous, with lyrics like, "SHE DOESN'T KNOW THAT I'M A VIRGIN IN THE KITCHEN COZ IT'S NORMALLY MY MUM!" Great closure! This album also includes a hidden track, called Get Over You, and it's a pain to play. Rewind your player when Five Colours In Her Hair starts, and stop at about -1:55. This song also rules!
Since this album, McFly have released another two singles; both of which got the top spot. All About You was the first, which was recorded for Comic Relief, It stayed at the top for one week. The other is I'll Be OK, their new song, which charted at #1 last night! (Yes, you heard me correct - McFly knocked James Blunt off the top!!) Their new album Wonderland (hence my pen-name) is out on the 29th August - for god sake, buy it. Danny, Dougie, Tom and Harry make up the best pop band on the planet - and I literally mean it!
