Warning: This blog post contains bias towards Mcfly and a lot of 'fan girling'.
So who would have guessed that I would have done a post on this? Well, pretty much everybody right?
Memory Lane: The Best of Mcfly was released today and I just had to go out and get it. I was going to get it tomorrow when I have plans to go shopping but I seriously couldn't wait! Yes it is basically just made up of songs which I already have on iTunes and know all the lyrics, and chords in some cases, to, but it was the prospect of BRAND NEW songs on here which made me need this album in my life. And obviously I bought the deluxe edition, but at £3 more for an extra CD including tracks you've never heard, why wouldn't you?
I have already run out of words to say. It's just an amazing album (especially being a huuuuge Mcfly fan anyway) which does contain the best of Mcfly. There's some demos, unreleased tracks and b-sides, alongside the classics which we know and love. The demos from 2003, when the band were just starting out, sound so different to the actual album versions. The Obviously demo is probably my favourite, it's so cute! (If a song can be cute...) Having read the first few chapter of Unsaid Things: Our Story (Mcfly's autobiography) and learning how they got together, it's amazing to hear the sounds they were talking about. The unreleased tracks and demos are amazing too! These include Do Watcha, which they played on their Keep Calm and Play Louder (KCAPL) tour in March/April this year, Cherry Cola, and on the deluxe version, Down Down and Mess Around You. Down Down is an amazing new song/demo and probably been my favourite so far (I haven't listened to the whole album yet because 70% of it is what I've heard a million times already) although I do really love Do Whatcha and the Obviously 2003 demo.
I'm trying to hold back from keyboard spamming. It's an amazing album and if you like Mcfly (like being the smallest proportion of interest in Mcfly) then go an buy this album! Even if you don't, go and buy it, I promise you that you'll love them after you've listened.
