McFly have enjoyed a lot of success since they hit the charts back in 2004. 6 years on the band are still enjoying their time in the limelight and delivering the hits. After briefly going independent with their fourth studio album Radio:ACTIVE. McFly have returned to their original record label Island for the release of their fifth studio album Above The Noise. For this record the band has changed tack and teamed up with Dallas Austin and Taio Cruz marking a slight change in direction and a bolder pop sound than we’ve heard previously.
Above The Noise contains 11 brand new tracks including the singles Party Girl and Shine A Light featuring Taio Cruz. The record finds the band experimenting with new sounds, allowing other songwriters to give them a hand and sporting a new look (they’re all styled as superheroes). Opening with End of the World the record soon establishes itself as a completely new proposition to previous McFly albums. The beats are strong, there’s an electro-rock feel and the vocals sound a lot smoother than we’ve heard before. This change in direction continues throughout the record with only Take Me There sounding like the band’s old material.
The album is the band’s most cohesive work to date and you can tell they’ve clearly had fun making it. From the club vibe of Party Girl through to the smoother sounds of This Song, the album takes in many musical genres and inspirations to create McFly’s strongest record to date. Across the record the band takes in blues and soul on I Need A Woman, R&B/pop lite on That’s The Truth and anthemic pop on the corking Shine A Light. The urgency of Nowhere Left To Run proves the band are capable of more adult fare whilst Foolish is an interesting blend of commercial rock/pop.
The album’s strongest moments come on the sexy I’ll Be Your Man and the 80s-Princesque rhythms of iF U C Kate. I’ll Be Your Man is one of several songs that showcases the improvement Tom has made with his vocals. Sounding smooth and reaching high notes we could only dream over he creates a sumptuous sound that perfectly complements the song’s melody. iF U C Kate takes 80s rhythms (and dare we say some dreadful lyrics) to create one of the album’s most poppy moments. We’re fairly sure the track will become a firm live favourite too.
Above The Noise is the best record that McFly have released in the 6 years they’ve been together. Finally maturing musically and moving away from the teen-pop of previous releases, the band embrace pop sensibilities to create the strongest collection of songs they’ve ever recorded. Above The Noise should be a huge seller as we approach Christmas and don’t be surprised if it spawns several hit singles."
