McFly - Wonderland
« on: May 15, 2007, 11:48:11 AM »
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:

@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 :-)

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:

Well, what do you usually listen to?

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).

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 :-)

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