I'd never heard about this group before watching Just My Luck - but OMG this group ROCKS!!! They have some seriously cool tunes, upbeat and great for driving down the road these last days of summer with your window rolled down and letting the sun warm your face...My two fave tracks: I've Got You and Too Close For Comfort. Don't miss out on this awesome band!!

Pro Reviews: Just My Luck
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews First glances at London's McFly could cause one to believe the freshfaced quartet is something of another boy bandesque group that happens to play its own instruments. However, surprise will quickly set in upon pressing play on the polished Just My Luck, as the guys are actually closer in sound to poprockers The Monkees, the Beach Boys or even the onehit fabrication that was The Wonders (yup, that band from Tom Hanks' flick, That Thing You Do). Despite being ridiculously overproduced, the album does have its merits, and beams sunshine through its sparkling rhythms, shimmering vocal harmonies, and catchy, layered melodies. McFly are indeed competent musicians that already seem to understand how to make an appealing record. And well, the album should be chock full of welcoming songs that are easy on the ears, as these Brits have just about taken cues for everything they do from the masters of pop that have come before them. Regardless of adolescent lyrics, every song rather sounds like a modern version of a poprock hit from somewhere in history that can't always be placed, and instead of actually listening to the songs at face value, initial spins are unconsciously spent going through a "where have I heard this song before?" list in one's head. McFly wears the influence of bands like the Beatles and Beach Boys so blatantly on their collective sleeve it's oozing from practically every note played. Additionally, string arrangements are not used for mere dramatic effect in one single requisite heartwarming/hearttearing ballad as so many groups do, but appear over the entire record. And oftentimes, the strings are actually fullon orchestral arrangements that when they're not turning innocent tracks into pure cheese, sound so disturbingly like a 1940s musical backdrop, one can virtually see Judy Garland running around in the distance about to break out in song. Though an admittedly pleasurable and sunny listen overall, unless you're still distractedly doodling hearts and flowers on a social studies folder, there most likely won't be any need or desire to pick this album up. - Corey Apar, All Music Guide |

Pros: Great music
Cons: .
These boys really have the talents ! The band is mostly influenced by The Beatles... but they made old-school sounds very new.
