Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Busted may look about as rock as Westlife, but A Present for Everyone confirms that under those chiselled cheek bones and polite smiles they're every inch the British Blink 182. For the most part, the clean-cut trio's second album is full of the same dumb fun as their first. Careering hyperactively through trashy skate-punk fantasies, classroom crushes and troublesome girlfriends, "Crashed the Wedding" and "Who's David" are irresistibly throwaway teen trauma, while "She Wants to Be Me" deals with the difficult issue of an overly dependent girlfriend ("she's so obsessed with me/now she stands up to pee"). That line aside, second time around there's even a newfound maturity that creeps through in some of their songwriting, which means that they carry off the bittersweet pop of break-up song "Over Now" with conviction and without resorting to cheap laughs. Ultimately though, it's the pogoing choruses and crude one-liners that are the main attraction. And they don't come much better than "Air Hostess" with its less than wholesome appreciation of a girl in uniform: "I messed my pants when we flew over France". --Dan Gennoe

Lovely Stuff! 9 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
This is just as good as the first busted album, if not better! There's more tracks on this album including the brilliant 'Over now' and 'Better than this'. Busted have a more mature sound on album, and James' vocals on 'Can't Break Thru' are fantastic. If you're a true Busted fan, you'll be totally addicted to this...I am!

Format:Audio CD
Having bought and liked the first album from busted, i went out and bought their second effort, 'A present for everyone'. I was pleasantly suprised at the development that busted have taken since their arrival in the charts with the almost geekish 'What i go to school for'. Their sound is an improved rockier one, with darker, teen angst songs that will no boubt hit the spot among the, all too documented, suppressed teenagers in this country.

Typical topics are confronted throughout the album, which most teenagers will relate to, such as looking for and losing love, being a geek, and having girlfriends which are geeks('She wants to be me' showing the latter in an amusing fashion). All of this culminates in a more mature sound throughout the album; and without the risk of losing their target audience.

Particular praise must go to 'Why', solely sung by Charlie, which starts off as a ballad and develops into a fast paced rant about love and the shortcomings of it. Another particularly striking song is '3am', which again tackles the subject of love and shows off their more rockier sound.

Disappointments of the album are 'Air hostest' and 'Crashed the wedding' which both show that they have not totally rid of their immaturity. Also the topics they tackele do get repetetive, and i question whether at their age they have experienced all that they claim. Apart from this the album is an enjoyable listen, which does show a development from their self titled debut.

So Far So Good 2 Nov 2003
Format:Audio CD
Having heard samples of 13 of the 15 tracks, I've formed my initial opinion on this album

And I have to say....its done the unthinkable. Its surpassed the original.

A good mix of upbeat, punky pop tracks, and slower, 'deep and meaningful' tracks, 'A Present For Everyone' really does live up to its name. There is something for anyone and everyone on this album.

My personal favourites, 'Meet You There' (which has a very similar intro to 'Sleeping With the Light On' from the first album) and '3am' are very much suited to the acoustic sets which I've grown to love from the band, while the first single, 'Crashed the Wedding', and the upbeat 'Air Hostess' provide the comedy sound effects (what album is complete without siren and areoplane sound effects?) and busted-jump'esq tunes.

'Falling For You' immediately reminded my of 'First Date' by Blink 182, and has grittier vocals from Matt to begin with; a great contrast to the beautiful 'Loner In Love' and it shows the range of his voice.

The amazing 'Why' shows youngest member Charlie Simpson's vocals at their best, and the heartbreaking 'Loner In Love' showcases Matt and James' amazing voices in a way I never thought possible.

Im proud to say that I have ordered my copy of A Present For Everyone, and shall be waiting by the door for it to arrive.

And god help any postmen who get in my way.....
