Right first there was busted..a pop band trying to hard to be a rock act, then they split as the lead singer wanted to join a band that was actually a rock band!!, so now the new Mcfly come to town..known as the busted twins!...and please shouting "STOP STOP not more!".....but hey don't take into sterotypical views untill u actually listen to the album your-self (well apart from my review!)...to be honest im not a pop fan, not really a propper rock fan, so before hearing this album i already had pre-concepted views.
Often artists are getting slated because well they arent propper artists, they dont play own intruments, they dont write their own songs..and hey they dont even sing live, but here we have a boy band consisting of Tom, Danny, Harry and Dougie that do all these things, and people still tend to ride them off...ok i no they are poppy songs, but the album is pretty decent for a pop/rock band.
Mcflys sound on this album is often a 60's beach boys meet the Monkees, surf pop rock gitar sounds and dum beats. This being a pop album theres no doubt you'll find the cheesy type songs like 'Met This Girl' and 'Surfer Babe'. But the talent really shines through with the songs 'Obviously', 'Hypnotise' and title track 'Room on the 3rd Floor' ' are all great songs, all illustrating great writting skills thats often lacked by most bands, and great performances..just overal great tunes.
This is an overal good suprising album, i mean at least it aint the really cheesy pop that we've been punished to witness throught the years (tweenies!)...this album is A MUST FOR BUSTED FANS, and those who arnt (im an example of that!)
ILL GIVE IT AROUND 6/10
BEST TRACK HYPNOTISE. WORST SURFER BABE.
