Room On The 3rd Floor - McFly

After the success of Busted in 2003, McFly emerged with a number one single in the form of '5 Colours In Her Hair' early in 2004. Busted had paved the way for similar bands to make a success of themselves and McFly took full advantage of this fact - or rather Universal Island Records did. Busted, McFly, and V were all a part of the same scene, and in fact Busted were used as the basis to launch the careers of McFly and V through having these two artists support Busted on their 2004 Arena Tour. The career of the band V was short-lived, and with Busted having split up early in 2005; McFly remain to be the only of the three bands still going today. 'Room on the ...  Read the complete review

ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR is the title of four man pop rock band MCFLY. The album consists of 13 tracks which I will review. The album starts with 5 COLOURS IN HER HAIR which is a very fast paced song which describes a girl the boys are in love with. Good energy from the guitar and a decent opener. OBVIOUSLY is a slower paced song about a girl who is too good looking to date. The lyrics are quite good as many men can relate to them while the music sounds good and this is my favourite track on the album ROOM ON THE THIRD FLOOR is a decent track where the vocals are pretty good and supported well by the guitar. THAT GIRL is ...  Read the complete review

Harry Judd who is the drummer, Tom Fletcher who is on guitar and vocals, Danny Jones who is on guitar and vocals aswell (he is damn fine!!!), Dougie Poynter who is the bass player and also does the vocals. Not just for small children I promise you!!! Almost everyone i know likes a bit of McFly, although people often pretend to dislike them as they are 4 young boys!!! James Bourne, who is now i Son Of Dork and was in Busted co-wrote some of their songs with them... They are quite similar to Busted, apart from they actually have talent! This album went straight to number 1 when it was released.They also have two number 1 singles on this album ,5 colours in ...  Read the complete review

This is quite a genius album basically. Individually and as a band i find them quite unlikeable really. This their debut release has a number of VERY VERY good song but to through a balance there are just as much average songs that seemed very rushed. To their credit they do write their own music and i think that deserves some praise especially since their peers like Boyzone and Westlife do not do any writing and constantly are successful without writing and producing covers. Mostly Mcfly are original and play live quite well - i dislike their personalities and they are the sort of kids who would cause havoc in a classroom at the back but this album is quite pop genius ...  Read the complete review

I liked this album. personally for me I can relate to what they're singing about when I look back nostalgically on my teenage years which seems to run along the lines of getting up to mischief and admiring women from a distance, all of which to your parents utter dismay and concern. From the minute you press play on this album you're hit with a fast paced song of Track 1: "Five Colours In Her Hair" which sets the tone for the rest of the album Track 2: "obviously" starts which again is nice and catchy as they lament about their inadequacies and vulnerabilities in life. Track 3: "Room on the third floor" ...  Read the complete review
