MITO REVIEWS
1. 'We Are The Young'
It's always hard being the opening track, but luckily for this one it ramps up the power big time from the very start, powerful guitar solos and crashing drums leading you into a happy, jump around rock-pop track that fail to disappoint.

2. 'Star Girl'
McFly have embraced their pop heritage fully, and unlike the divided Busted, seem to really be keeping it together both band and music wise - this single, which shot straight to number one, is pure and great pop. Nothing more, nothing less.

3. 'Please Please'
The track that namechecks Lindsay Lohan and that showed off the boys in the nude thanks to the hospital-based video, this is a great pop song with fabulously twanging, full-on layers of guitars and begging vocals.

4. 'Sorry's Not Good Enough'
You may be fooled by the title into believing this to be an amalgamation of a Blue and Elton John track, but instead we get a Queen-esque proper pop song, the kind McFly do best. This is a likely single, simply due to the tempo and slightly paint-by-numbers ease of the song for the public consciousness. This is definitely one you can dance to when you're out clubbing.

5. 'Bubblewrap'
It's not often the opening notes of a song make you feel emotional, but writer Fletcher knows exactly how to pull at the heartstrings with his chord progressions and soft vocals. He and Jones explain: "This is the last time/I give up this heart of mine/I'm telling you/I'm a broken man/Who's finally alive/This is goodbye" before there's a key change as with all the best epic pop songs, the tone of the track changes and the boys explain to the ex how they don't need her any more. Damn right.

6. 'Transylvania'
Written by bassist Poynter, this Halloween-themed track would seem to have been put on to correspond with the date of the album release. Opening with a solo from emotive frontman Fletcher, it soon descends into comedic vocals and poppy, throbbing guitars that you can't help but nod your head along to.

7. 'Lonely'
McFly have really gone back to the mainstream with this album, and this track is a low-key almost-but-not-quite ballad. Thanks to great lyrics and instrumentals it's lifted out of boredom into a nicely harmonised but slightly lacking in freshness tale of - you guessed it - loneliness.

8. 'Little Joanna'
Soothing and sweet, this song showcases their Queen inspirations rather magnificently. Her coconut cream and coffee coloured thighs/I could die lying in her arms, confides Fletcher as an opening note, with the lucky Joanna helping Jones to believe that danger's never near/When Joanna is here. Really, truly beautiful, this could and should be a single.

9. 'Friday Night'
This album is a real mix of genres and paces, and the uptempo and thumping nature of this track almost send it into rock territory, whilst retaining the pop feel McFly fans all know and love. There's a hint of White Stripes-esque indieclash to this slightly syncopated track, which is never a bad thing.

10. 'Walk In The Sun'
This is a gentle little almost acoustic harmony track that sounds faintly country, and works as a relaxed antidote to everything else on the album. It's nothing unique, but it's still nicely done and beautifully sung by the boys.

11. 'Home Is Where The Heart Is'
The penultimate track on the album, a slow-paced rock track, is a bit too thudding for stardom. As ever, there are no complaints from the instrumental or harmony points of view as the boys come together in these troubled days, but the song itself is a bit too boring and repetitive to be a standout song.

12. 'Don't Stop Me Now'
McFly's cover of the Queen classic is really enjoyable. Full of energy, the four-piece bound through the track, Jones husky voice blending well with Fletcher's slightly more high-pitched yelping as Judd's complex rhythms provide great backing to the song.

McFly know their market, and have really embraced it with Motion In The Ocean. If you're a fan of good pop music played by boys in bands, you should buy this album. It's chock full of interesting, nicely written and enjoyable songs. Judd's drumming stands out on many of the tracks, as does Jones' gorgeously throaty vocal. There's nothing wrong with this album - in fact, there's a hell of a lot right. McFly have managed to hold it together beautifully and show that guitars don't necessarily equal indie music. Long may they continue.
