Is it shameful that I really like this album? I know they're marketed to a young female audience and I never go for these types of bands normally (Busted etc), but this album is really good. The composition is great and some of the lyrics are very clever too.
Flame me!!!!! :flame:

Moto, that's shameful!

:-o
I am shocked and disgusted. ;-)

Why, surely only a great big woofter would go in for McFly.... ;-)

Consider yourself shamed... :whack:

Okay guys, who do you reckon would win a fight to the death:
McFly vs Westlife

Bunch of middle class mothers boys vs bunch of pansies.
I think Westlife might just win it as their image is manufactured and everyone knows the Irish love a pint and a fight, whereas McFly really are a bunch of middle class mothers boys. ;-)

Wasn't one of the Westlife guys in that Ch4 celebrity olympic thing a few years ago where they had to weight lift, run a relay etc?
If it was him then Westlife'd definitely win, that guy's well built and covered in tatts that say don't mess :-P
--edit--
Oh yeah, moto - liking McFly should be enough to get anyone banned :-P
-
Solution: Arm them both with molotov {bleep}tails and Ak47s. Let battle commence...
-
Have any of you who have shamed me actually heard the album? :-P If so then I will take the shame and go and listen to some "real music" :lol:

Erm... nope.
I've heard a few of their singles and I'd rather not torture myself with that rubbish again :-P
-
Marty McFly? That's the only McFly I know.

@Vincent
Agree about the singles. The album is a bit different to them. For what it's worth, I'm listening to Bach right now :-)

I'm currently listening to Throbbing Gristle's Third and Final Report, and later I'l be listening to Human League's Reproduction... now that's real music! ;-)

I've been listening to the greatest song ever (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xm4JMHL4tuE)*
*To include the lyrics "look down me pants, look up me bottom"

I thought the lyric was (The police)"Whipped down my pants, looked up my bottom".

Nope. Although that would make better sense.

Police them come an' now they blow down me door,
One him come crawl through, through my window,
So then they put me in the back the car at the station,
From that point on me reach my destination,
When the destination reached, it was the east detention, where them
Whipped down me pants, looked up me bottom, so

Ok, I've had a listen to Wonderland... think it's pretty atrocious... She Falls Asleep Pt1 is nice, since it breaks the monotony of the album... but is ruined by She Falls Asleep Pt2 which while lyrically is actually rather listenable... suffers from the singer's lack of range/ability...
-
Why is it atrocious?
--
moto
-
Musically it lacks any thing exciting. It seems unfocused in style, as if the songs are made up from the off cuts of other songs... which I find distracting
And a major grip for me is poor quality vocals...
I don't mean to sounds arrogant, but when it comes to music I'm really pedantic :-)

Why does faeces taste like sh*t? ;-)

Well, I agree that there is no definite style to the album, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. Sure there are a couple of lemons on there (I've Got You for ex), but I actually found some of the music very interesting (example: the harmonies in All About You are quite enticing when they start opposing each other, and the orchestration in She Falls Asleep is lovely). I also think some of the lyrics are quite clever, especially in The Ballad of Paul K.
I know it's no masterpiece. But I think in its way it's quite charming, and I was surprised to find that I like it. And don't get me wrong, I'm not in to pop music *at all*. I'm also very critical of music and consequently my music collection is very small (because it's rare that I find an album interesting enough to listen to more than once).

I should also add that I didn't actually buy it - before someone accuses me of browsing the boy bands in HMV :lol:

Must find a "Cooperman" one now, or better still a pic of Bella Emberg.

I'm listening to The Vines a lot at the moment, interspersed with Radiohead, Thom Yorke, The Prodigy, Oskar and Zero 7. Less often I listen to Aerosmith, Kula Shaker, Blur, Hard-Fi, Faithless, KT Tunstall and a few more. I also listen to orchestral music when the mood takes me (not very often).

Nothing there to suggest you'd find anything interesting in Wonderland...

I know, that's why I was so surprised that I did. Especially seeing how I hate the music of their peers (Busted et al). Oh, and add Skunk Anansie to my list as I have just rediscovered Paranoid & Sunburnt :-)

I've recently been listening to the gentle, not-at-all-harsh melodious compositions of the late, great Bryn Jones ;-)
Given his stagename and the nomenclature of his (prodigious) discography, I'm sure a couple of special branch guys will be around for a chat later...

I often like relax by playing a soothing Jones concerto on the gramophone whilst smoking a shisha. ;-)

Much better. Radiohead, Prodigy, Aerosmith, Blur and Faithless are a drastic improvement over that sh*tpop :-D
Almost redeemed, but if you like your music loud and obnoxious where the "noise" music?

:lol: Been listening to his SAW again recently. Brilliant stuff.
There was one song of his, possibly off Drukqs, Sioux said it sounded like a bee stuck in a jar :lol:

Not half as shocking as that album cover.

Aerosmith, The Vines and Skunk Anansie not loud enough for you? :-)

Noise music doesn't imply loud. Rather it's a genre of music constructed wholly or in part from non-musical sounds.

I just dug out Skunk's Stoosh album last week. I forgot how good it was. Speaking of them - if you've got the album, put it in a non-PC CD player and rewind the first track. There's an instrumental about 2mins 40 hidden in the pre-gap :-)
I'm listening to Aerosmith right now as it happens. Great band, but they're still not loud enough for me (think Slayer, Bathory, Deicide for loud).
And yeah, Karlos is right, noise isn't the same as loud :-)
Try stuff like Mad Capsule Markets and Aphex Twin for tuneful noise. Then have a listen to A**l C**t for the defenition of noise "music" :-D
