Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

McFly's Room On the 3rd Floor represents the triumphant welding of a major label'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. Like those other "real" popstars Busted, they play their own instruments and write their own songs, but where McFly differ significantly is in their influences: they actually have some. The sound of lead single "Five Colours in Her Hair" and "That Girl" virtually (and refreshingly) pre-date the Beatles, harking back to Bill Haley and Chuck Berry, even if "Five Colours…" sounds like it's trying too hard in places--a forgivable and charming trait. It's a major gamble (how many 15 year olds are into the Beach Boys?) but it works. Both "Obviously" and the title track are simple, breezy acoustic strumathons ("Wake up early / Round seven thirty / Housekeeping knocking on my door") with the filtered influence of Noel Gallagher hanging around in the background. The only weakness is in the vocals, which too often sound whiney and diluted. With such blatant influences, there's an obvious lack of originality, but here the originality lies in actually having influences. Pop has come full circle. --Ben Johncock


CD Description

Debut album from colourful, clean-cut pop-rock quartet whose youthful good looks and highly polished sound make them anobvious alternative to Busted. Taking their name from Michael J. Fox's character in 'Back To The Future', they combine influences from 60s pop, 80s rock and 90s punk to make a bright, melodic and undeniably commercial sound. Includes the singles 'Obviously' and the no.1 hit 'Five Colours In Her Hair'.

5.0 out of 5 stars room on the third floor review, 16 Jul 2004
By A Customer
1. 5 colors in her hair- what's more to say about this song? Their first (#1!) single is a great song, catchy and fun to dance and, of course, listen to.
2. Obviously- this is such a great song, Their second (also #1!) single. I love this song- the lyrics, the melody and the vocals- it's all good
3. room on the third floor- well, this is a great song, but I liked the version that they performed in the Saturday show (I think) much better- for those who, like me, got used to this version before the CD was out, it might be a bit weird without the "1,2,3,4", "nooooooo!" and the "thank you!" in the end”Kthe cd version is more calm, without Danny 'shouting' (which I love hearing!). but this song IS truly a lovely song with great lyrics.
4. That girl- this song is one of my favorites. It has the cool 60's sound to it (well, the whole cd does), really great lyrics which I love and good vocals- this to I knew as a live version which was stronger, but this awesome song sounds just right everywhere. What I like most about this song is that I can hear it over & over (and over”K) again continuity without getting tired of it- again, awesome song.
5. Hypnotized- b the title you can conclude it's different- and it is. It has a different tune and it's really nice. The best thing I think is the lyrics.
6. Saturday night- well this is just a party song, a great one (I know I use 'great' a lot but the songs really are”Kgreatŗ). Nice amusing lyrics and awesome sound”Kgood job guys!
7. Met this girl- BEST ONE. Well, maybe not the best, there's a lot of amazing songs, but this one is definitely one of them. It's just like a bouncy love song, not an unusual idea with some hard lyrics or something. Great vocals, Great tune, great everything. When I hear this song my heart goes boom (ba ba ba ba pa da ba!)
8. She left me- first of all, I would like to raise to thumbs up for tom, and, especially danny's vocals, as well as the wonderful background ones. it is really a pleasure to hear them sing calmly, lovely voices. Also, beautiful lyrics and melody. Music to my ears.
9. Down by the lake- the thing I like most in this song is, well, the title. I thought it's gonna be better then that because I found the name lovely, but I didn't really relate to this song, though it's nice.
10. Unsaid things- I heard it for the first time a long time ago, and I liked it a lot, but there are better ones in the cd.
11. Surfer babe- another one of the really catchy ones- I fell in love with it immediately- I really just liked it all- the way they sing and play In it and the cool lyrics. AND, what makes it even better, is, a bit of Dougies voice! ( I think it's him! Singing one of the "but you are" in that part) wouldn”¦t mind a Harry & Dougie song”K:) excellent work!
12. Not alone- Danny wrote this song and sings most of it, which is great and fit for the song- I think he should have sang it all, but oh well”K this is an astonishing in my opinion, got me frozen.
13. Broccoli- cool title and nice lyrics, I think it has a familiar sound to it, don't know why. Great ending dong.
14. Get over you- hidden song- rewind it from #1 to hear. That's a nice song and is fit to be the hidden one I think, 'cos it sounds more like free and erm, not recorded, I don't know how to explain. ANYWAY, cool song.

In conclusion: *top five- met this girl, that girl, obviously. She left me, surfer babe. (ok not alone as well!)
But my fave mcfly song is, actually, the 5cihh b-side; the guy who turned her down. Too bad it's just a b-side.
This is my review, and I hope someone read it though it's long, and, he he, agreed with me. For the mcfly fans out there, you must have loved it, and for those who like that kind of music you would love it, I believe!
The guys did a really great job playing their instruments and writing all of their songs (most of them by Tom and the lovely mister James Bourne!), and singing real good most of the time. Now that's talent!

5.0 out of 5 stars Go McFly!, 18 Jul 2004
I'm loving this album! It's just so damn summery. One listen and you'll be hooked, I promise. And by the way, for anyone who thinks that McFly are just Busted all over again, you are so wrong. Where Busted turn to punk and rock for their inspiration, McFly look at the Beach Boys and the Beatles for theirs. (By the way I love Busted's stuff as well.) Talking (and listening to people talking) about teen life has never been so much fun! Avril Lavigne tried it, and succeeded in describing the teenage years as hell- which they aren't! McFly describe heartbreak, crushes and everyday life with twangy guitar music and witty, honest lyrics (written by the boys themselves). With tracks like Surfer Babe and Hypnotized that sound like they came off the back of the Beach Boys' tour bus, and contrasting songs like Not Alone, and title track Room on the Third Floor which smack of Oasis, McFly have come up with a superb album for the summer. As one of the new breed of "real popstars", bands who write their own songs and play their own music, McFly are leading the way and successors will have a lot to live up to.
And what talent! They actually can sing! And play their own instruments. Tom's vocal range is great and Danny's rasping voice well exceeds his years. Dougie and Harry sing the backing music, Tom and Danny sing lead. Dougie, Tom and Danny all play guitar while Harry's stuck at the back playing the drums. Such a pity since he's so cute. They all are actually...
Anyway, I reckon McFly are head and shoulders above everyone in the charts at the minute. I'm sure there's more to come from these guys. Well done Tom, Harry, Danny and Dougie! xxx

5.0 out of 5 stars mcfly, room on the 3rd floor - amazing!!, 4 Jul 2004
By A Customer
Wow! I love this album, it is so good!
It has a good mix of upbeat and catchy congs with slower songs. Since I got it, I havn't stopped listening to it. I love the idea of the hidden track, it makes it more fun.
If you like 5 colours in her hair and obviously, then I advise you to buy this album, as you're going to love the rest of it.
