MITO ALBUM REVIEW
McFLY said, The album stretches from the harmony-drenched pop of Sorry Not Good Enough,equal parts Queen and the Beach Boys, to the bizarre psychedelic showtune Transylvania, written by Poynter under the influence of acclaimed US power-pop band Jellyfish 1993 masterpiece Spilt Milk (they really went for it, theyre stuffs quite funny and a little bit weird, he explains, it just makes you think you can do anything in a song). At one extreme, theres the tearjerking Bubble Wrap, which starts out a gentle piano ballad and ends up with crashing electric guitars, an orchestra, the kitchen sink etc. At another the pure McFly pop of new single Star Girl (due for release on 23rd October) , which includes a flatly hopeless Uranus pun, but is, as Harry rightly points out no more stupid than whats that coming over the hill, is it a monster?. I had this dream that we wrote this song about falling in love with an alien and it was an amazing mega worldwide hit, says Tom. I told Dougie about it and he said well, you should do it with this one. Then theres Friday Night, which ponders the whys and wherefores of getting thumped by persons unknown while trying to enjoy a night out, something Danny claims to have personal experience of. A bunch of blokes started on me in a club for no reason, so I had to go to a bouncer, which I hate doing, Im from McFly, these blokes want to kick the shit out of me, can you walk me to a taxi? So he did, but when I got in the taxi, I saw them and gave them the finger. Then I realised I hadnt locked the door of the taxi. But it is album opener We Are The Young, a teen-pop take on the powerchords and drum thunder of Whos Next era Who, that perhaps best encapsulates the new McFly mood. Theres nothing like us around, says Tom. People need pop music. Weve stuck around, weve stuck through this bad time for pop music and our fans have stuck with us. Now were back, doing exactly what we want to do. It really feels like this is what we should be doing. You could, if you were the kind of person who talks about albums having an emotional center, describe We Are The Young as Motion In The Oceans emotional center, bristling as it is with a combination of pop nous, bullish confidence and fuck off attitude. Tom, however, demurs. I dont think our attitude to the album is fuck off, he frowns. I think our attitude to the album is that were going to write really great songs, theyre going to be really poppy and summery. And if you dont like it, says Harry, then you can f***off. MOTION IN THE OCEAN is released on Universal Island on 13th November 2006. New single STAR GIRL is released on 23rd October 2006. SCHOOL friends Danny Jones and Alex Wright will be reunited this weekend when they both step on stage at the MEN Arena.
