Evolution Is A Mystery

The title is a little intriguing, isn't it? Well, don't take it seriously because I won't be blabbing about evolution in that Science class way.

I'm talking about McFly's evolution from Room On The Third Floor up to the up coming Radioactive.

HISTORY:
As all McFly fans know, it very well started with Mr Tom Fletcher. He was originally auditioning for Busted but got cut (it was between him and Charlie Simpson). Obviously, Tom was destined for bigger music stardom. He formed a friendship with James Bourne and stuck around to write songs with him.

Danny Jones, on the other hand, was a college boy. But instead of going to school, he played in pubs and got late or missed most his classes. He mistakenly auditioned for boyband V thinking it was a pop band, but luckily, he met Tom there. Who needs college where he is now?

Tom and Danny stayed together for a while. They wrote songs together until they finally decided to audition for a bassist and a drummer. Harry and Dougie both showed up on a similar date for the audition. Poof! McFly was born!

Room On The Third Floor:
(Release Date - July 5, 2004)
Basically, they were very young and every bit poppy here. Their sounds were fresh and lively and they fit in the category of being a kid.

Wonderland:
(Release Date - August 29, 2005)
They were still sounding pop, but this time more mellow than before. Their lyrics focused on more serious matters of life. They wrote some of the songs while they filmed Just My Luck in the US. (*Fun fact: They recorded the album in 48 hours.)

Motion In The Ocean:
(Release Date - November 6, 2006)
It was around this time that people would begin to notice that the band members were no longer boys. They were very much more mature in terms of sound and personality. They got more and more serious and deep in writing the lyrics, but their lively, happy feel was still there. For me, it was what made them McFly.

All The Greatest Hits:
(Release Date - November 5, 2007)
This was the compilation album for the best singles they had so far. Around this time, rumors of the band calling it quits circulated everywhere. When the band spoke up about the issue, they assured it was just rumors and that releasing the album wasn't their choice and that if it were up to them, they would have made one more album first.

Radioactive:
(Release Date - July 21, 2008)
This is the band's newest album and their first under their independent label, Super Records. Media claim that they are a lot more mature and that there are changes about the way they sound, but basically they still rock. I'm waiting for the release of their singles so I could hear their new stuff. I'm expecting something less poppy, more mature, but still McFly.


This band has been the only one who's got me coming back for more. I guess I'll forever be a McFlyer at heart. No matter what happens to them, they will always be the greatest for me (and I bet for the other fans as well). I wish them the best with their label and whatever choices they make. And yes, I talk A LOT about these guys. I love them so much, you can't blame me.

And that concludes my McFly blabbering. Go and listen to them, I command you.
