A Super album from Super Records.

McFly, members Tom Fletcher, Danny Jones, Dougie Poynter and Harry Judd, have almost been around for 5 years now, so it will probably come as a surprise to hear that they are still only aged 20-23. Emerging in 2003, the boys were typically shrugged off as being a band you shouldn't like, due to their teen fan base. But that never stopped them from going straight to number one with their first single, Five Colours In Her Hair, then taking the record from the Beatles as the youngest band to go to number 1 with their debut album, Room On The Third Floor. The Guinness Book of World Records in fact lists that they did this twice, as even when their second album, Wonderland, charted at number 1, they were still younger. McFly then brought out their third album, Motion In The Ocean, which charted at a lower #6 here in the UK. This was followed by a Greatest Hits album, and by now McFly were tired of being told what to do by their Record Company, Island from Universal. At the end of last year, they finally left the label and created their own record label, Super Records.

7 number one singles and 2 number one albums down the line, McFly have provided us with some of the best songs they have ever recorded. 4 of the best were not even on the free album, so even if you bought the Mail On Sunday and got your free copy, it is certainly worth either buying this deluxe addition or downloading the 4 new songs, Lies, Down Goes Another One, Only The Strong Survive and the End on Itunes.

Second on the album is One For The Radio, their first release this year. The lyrics are meaningful, talking about the amount of disrespect this band have received over the last 5 years, but then going on to say how they and their fans really just don't care any more. It isn't the greatest song on the album, with even Tom Fletcher from the band stating it was only released as a sort of protest. The single charted at #2.

6th on the album is POV. This became my favourite song on the free version of the album. The song starts quite slow, while Danny Jones sings over a beautiful piano piece. Once the chorus arrives, however, it reminds me of an explosion as a powerful voice blasts out with wonderful lyrics. Certainly a must listen.

Next, track 8 is the cheery Smile. It really does make you smile. This song is a big boost in goodness on a bad day with lovely lyrics such as 'if you aint good looking, don't you let it get you down', 'just smile, smile, smile and turn the world around'. With the sound of horns also included on this track, it really makes you want to dance.
