I wasn't sure what a McFly was when I decided to make this purchase.
Apparently they are this. So impressed, was I, with this album I decided to buy 13 more to distribute between friends.
This was a mistake.
Namely that I have no friends.
So lonely...

I have always though of Mcfly as a group for the youngsters, but this cd has changed my mind, it is brilliant. This group are really talented. I like every track on the album. They have matured into a group for all ages. Buy this cd you won't be disappointed.

A new sound for one of Britain's favourite boybands should not work, but surprisingly it does!
Harry, Tom, Dougie and Danny have embarked on a darker and more dangerous side of the pop music they've become famous for. Gone are the beach-side guitar riffs from "Room On The Third Floor" and the heavy metal influenced stylings from "Radio:ACTIVE" to give way to an electronica influenced collection of music to be experienced on this record, "Above The Noise".
It's far from perfect - the album is a mish-mash of epic anthems, fuelled with guitar riffs and belting vocals which strongly contrast with the some-what dull ballads which snooze their way through three of four minutes of the album's playtime.
Winning the crown for the album's top-track is the lead single `Party Girl' - sounding surprisingly like `Bad Romance' at times, it's a fantastic, fist-pumping anthem which is as catching as bird-flu. Second single `Shine A Light' which pointlessly features Taio Cruz is a slow grower, whilst track `If You See Katie' mimics the cheeky stylings of Britney whilst being a truly loveable track.
Opening track `The End Of The World' is a fantastic power-rock anthem and is one of the album's best tracks, whilst `Nowhere Left To Run' is a track which builds up from a soft and delicate track into another brilliant powering anthem.
Aside from those select few- the album is generally a mellow affair of sensual ballads which sometimes border on snooze-worthy, and definitely don't belong on an album titled "Above The Noise". But aside from this, the album is an enjoyable affair, and from the achievements they've made on their awesome tracks, it definitely seems like a direction they should stick to.

Pop Rock
This is quite an enjoyable album. Its a far cry from the original pop tastic McFly when I was younger- it now has more of an edge to it. Read more

Grown up
This albumn has a more grown up, rocky feel to the music but you can still hear the original McFly style. Perfect for fans who have grown up with McFly.
