Now I may be the only person that misses the cheeky guitar pop of three guys in their early 20s, but I still maintain that Busted are fab...... even if now that I too am in my early 20s and should know better! So for nostalgic purposes, I thought I'd review their album, A Present For Everyone. The Artist: ** At this point I would like to point out that the album has just come up completely randomly on my itunes..... fate?!! :-) ** Busted were made up of Charlie Simpson (the one with the horrendous eyebrows), Matt Willis (the one from I'm a Celebrity....) and James Bourne (the other one). Their debut single "What I Go to School ...  Read the complete review

Pop-punk trio Busted are one of the biggest success stories of the decade in the UK. Releasing two albums from 2002-2004 and scoring 8 top 3 singles [half of those landing at #1] and two million selling albums it's often been argued that the group paved the way for fans of their music to move onto more progressed guitar bands such as The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs and that their music acted as a death to the classic boyband. Their sophomore offering released in late 2003 was far more polished than their debut and was the sign of a band that had found their footing and had simply gone with the flow. With the majority of writing credits on the album attributed to ...  Read the complete review

I was very pleased when Busted put out their second album. It was an album which warranted repeated playing thanks to some feisty melodies and enthusiastic vocals. Who are they: UK based threepiece, comprising James, Charlie and Matt. Vocals are shared and most of the tracks tend to be written by James. On this album: Off to a brilliant start with the showstopping 'Airhostess' which is a tongue in cheek look at flying, as the boys deliver witty lyrics like 'I messed my pants when we went over France'. They all muck in with the vocals here and it sounds like they are having great fun with it. More of the same winning formula ...  Read the complete review

Ok so the title of the album is slightly cheesy i will give you that, but these guys have given us some of the best music of 2003, if it wasn't for them then who would we have the cheeky girls!!.The band consists of three guys James Bourne,Matt Jay and Charlie Simpson you may think oh yeah your typical boy band but theses are everything a boy band are not.First off the all play instruments ranging from bass to piano to drums , they write their own music and don't do cheesy dance moves.Now i'll get onto the review of the album: Air Hostess - This track has some of the funniest lines in the album ' i messed my pants when we flew over France...'.It ...  Read the complete review

A Present For Everyone was pop band Busted's scond album released in 2003. Some of the songs on this albums are actually quite good, even though I should be automatically programed to hate this kind of music made by manufactured bands. Most of the songs that were hits are a bit simple, with simple drums and guitar chords. The lyrics are also very childish and typical of this kind of band. There are however some surprises in the less known songs that wernt released as singles are quite good. One song that I found a bit of a dissapointment was "Whos David" which as it starts sounds like it could be a decent song, with a nice guitar riff and vocals, but ...  Read the complete review
