SO, IS there more to McFly than some overly sculptured haircuts, winning grins and the rebirth of The Monkees? Well - and this might hurt the indie die-hards - yes, there is.
While their debut album was little more than an excuse for a hundred sha-la-las, oo-be-doos and hey-hey-heys, this effort shows a surprising flare for the unexpected.
Of course, there's a stack of dippy chants as well - from the watertight skinny tie pop of I'll Be Okay to the sappy hit ballad All About You - but the over-riding impression of Wonderland is that the band (or someone very close to them) is pushing for something much more lasting than the slack-jawed bounce of their mates Busted.
It's bright, it's bold and fairly ballsy. People, you have been warned...
