Here come mcfly with debut album Room on the 3rd floor. Every song is catchy, infectious and amazing. For a band where they all are below the age of 20 makes you wonder why such talented people weren't delivered to us much earlier. They give it their all in every song leaving you either speechless or singing along without realising it. If you like mcfly or not is personal choice but you have to admit they are a talented bunch of boys with a definate career ahead of them. Already with 2 number 1 hits under their belt they are doing well. Yes the album isn't perfect, possibly the lyrics could be made sharper, changed and less soppy at times, but they do still have the childish streak so can get away with many lyrics(We spoke for hours, she took off my trousers- Teenage boys mind laid bare) Their influence is very much noticed with similar bass and guitar lines, and quite overplayed lyrics. But the point is, it's isn't exactly the same, it's only similar.

I love this album with all my heart, and I do suggest buying it, or at least lending the album of a friend. Go on try it on for size.
el's big-budget pop spend and bona-fide talent--a calculated attempt to win over kids who have grown cynical about the manufactured pop industry and crave something more real...
