Album Details

The Eponymous Debut Album from a Trio of Dudes from the UK who Present Mischevious Lyrics and a Musical Sound that Falls Somewhere Between Blink 182 and Bbmak Or Boyzone...clean Cut, but with Just Enough Edge to Fit that Mold of the Boy Your Parents Really Don't Want You to Bring Home to Meet the Folks. Which Lies at the Heart of Exactly Why their Appeal to the Youthful Set is So Great in their Homeland.

Busted is Incredible .......2006-08-17

Busted was probably one of the best British bands in the world. For everyone that didn't like them, you all like extremely dull music. The group Busted, while some people mentioned they were unable to determine the genre, is considered Rock. Busted sounds very punk/pop/rock, a great combination, and is considered by some people to be the "British Blink 182". Some other reviewers mentioned that Busted didn't have a drummer in all their videos and it appeared the music came from nowhere. In a recording studio, you can play more than one instrument because you only record one instrument at a time, for all of those people that didn't know. All the members of Busted are extremely talanted and I happen to know that Charlie Simpson, the tallest member of busted, can play the drums, bass, guitar, and piano, which proves that these guys are just extremely talanted. Busted isn't a "boyband" no matter what you think. A "boyband" is a group of guy singers that can only sing and dance and look "pretty". Busted may dress great but they aren't a boyband, even one of the singers said they weren't a boyband because if they were, they would be dancing. Busted is British. You can occasionally tell when they are singing that they are british, and when most british people sing anyway, you don't hear any british accent. Busted songs are not "rubish" as another reveiwer mentioned. I seriously could keep going on with a million different reasons why you people that don't like this band gave your mental reviews about how they aren't songs and the songs have no content. They do have content, you just must be unable to understand the content in the song, although I find it simple. I can't keep going on like this because telling all the people that wrote bad reviews the truth is not worth my time. Buy this album, it is amazing music that I think will be popular for a long time, even though the group sadly broke up. This CD is amazing and totally worth it.

Ok, you may hate them, but take a second look.......2005-06-16

I have read many many reviews that have said how much Busted sucks, and yes i do admit, they have some songs that are not the best. But if you listen to some songs of theirs they are pretty awsome. I like how its kind of a fusion between pop and rock and punk, for someone who likes all of those its kind of ideal. With all the crap music out there, there are tons of song that are way worse. I stumbled on the music on the internet and listened to clips on their site, i got hooked. I definately recommend their CD's

This Is So Bad!!!.......2005-06-09

This album could possibly be the worst album in the world. It's all rubbish. Busted are 'Loser kids' and 'Dawsons geeks'. All the songs sound the same. It's pop wannabe rock. Do your ears a favour and don't buy this. The only reason to get this is if you want to torture yourself. I would have rated this album 0/5 but the lowest is 1/5. DON'T BUY IT!!!

An image AND a band.......2005-04-22

Judging by the reviews currently written for this album it should be clear to all that you will either love or hate Busted.... a bit like Marmite (Don't know if u guys get that on your side of the pond?).

If you like the band then it shows that u are not afraid to immerse yourself in this pop/rock where every song sounds eerily similar and the band does not have a drummer visible in the majority of it's videos. If you do not like the band then it shows that it is just not your thing and you prefer more 'traditional' forms of rock music. Neither one of these is a bad thing, they are just a difference of opinion and there is nothing wrong with that.

The problem with Busted is that they fit into no specific genre. Their generic instability lies in the contradiction between the bands set up and their image. They play their instruments and sing live like a rock band, however they dress in a similar fashion and, according to a few female friends of mine, are rather good looking chaps, this means that they are like a boy band. The band fall into neither category and it is this that makes their appeal so unique.

I have mentioned in the review title that I am posh. You may be wondering why I have mentioned this for an album review? It is because it is the posh side of me that finds Busted so appealing. I am from Guildford in Surrey, which is basically the poshest town in the poshest county in England, and it was here that Busted played their first ever gig. The band are all from middle class backgrounds and it is this that makes it very easy for me and my friends to relate to them. I enjoy listening to Busted because I see them as an image as well as a band.

So, if you like posh boys from England, then you will like Busted and all the catchy pop/rock songs that they have cultivated!
