Product Description

BBC Review

Welcome To Loserville, the debut album from Son of Dork, sees ex-Busted James Bourne return with a new band and a much harder sound. This is most noticeable in the fast drumming and choppy guitars on "Ticket Outta Loserville" and "Eddie's Song". Elsewhere, amusing lyrics make neatly constructed but formulaic tunes like "Boyband" and "Holly... I'm The One" instantly memorable.

Bourne wrote most of the songs and is clearly a talented chap, but in excellent last track "Murdered In The Mosh", mixed by producer Gil Norton (Pixies), he ticks off a hapless girl for pretending she likes Sonic Youth and Janes Addiction, when he knows she prefers boy bands really. If Bourne himself is into those groundbreaking bands its a shame this otherwise good album just peddles more of the same old Green Day/Blink 182 pastiche. When in the same track he sings, "Just be yourself, don't be a faker", it makes you wish he would just stop apeing others and take his own advice. --Lisa Haines

Format:Audio CD
Having been a massive Busted fan I was upset when Charlie decided to leave, causing the band to split. When I heard James was starting his own new band I was excited - he had been the main songwriter for Busted after all.

This album lives up to the expectations that I had about his writing abilities. This is how I would have imagined Busted's third studio album would sound, had they made it that far. The songs are more American influenced than previous Busted material but I don't have a problem with that. Most of the songs are about unrequited love or they are stories - for example, "Slacker" tells the tale of a computer geek who is bullied at school but has the last laugh by getting a job at Nasa that he loves.

Basically, this is great pop and if you liked Busted and that type of music, this album is perfect. If you're a music snob who only likes "real" rock music or whatever, give it a miss. The only complaint that I have about this CD is that there are only 10 songs, but I'd rather have 10 good songs than adding in weak fillers to pad it out.

I LOVE this album! It's amazing. For the first time in eleven months, I don't miss busted at all! James has come back with some of the most amazing tunes I've ever heard. It runs from being like, the cheesiest of cheesy pop, (Little Things) to teenage angst that is bordering on psychotic and scary (Sick) to very meloncholy sort of black humour (Party's Over) and everything in between. I really like the fact that the songs seem really honest. They talk about their own music, about the people who are too ashamed to admit they like pop music (Murder In The Mosh) and they laugh over the fact that they'll never be taken seriously because they do make pop music and yes, they are VERY cute. (Boyband) The only thing wrong with this album is it's too short. And James spends a lot of time hiding bushes...

These guys are awesome, and they can only get better. I would recommend this to anyone, anywhere. No matter who you are or what you listen to, there is at least one song on this album you will, (even begrudgingly, privately in your room when no one's watching) like.

Son Of Dork
The cutest member of Busted is back with this well put together pop-punk/rock quintet. Their sound is reminiscent of Busted but with slightly more mature lyrics. Read more

Nice little CD
Catchy tunes, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, this is a nice debut album. Not quite as punky as Blink 182 but heavier than the bubblegum pop of McFly. Look forward to more of their stuff.

No No No No James NO!!!!
No, I'm sorry, this is just not on. James Bourne was originally with Busted, they were a good, original band who certainly changed pop for the better. Read more

amazing, spectacular, highly addictive
if you're into bands like NFG and Blink 182, don't buy this album. NFG and Blink and rock bands, sod are punk rock/pop. Read more

NFG songs, just with Busted lyrics
Busted were an amusing band with daft songs, so i could tolerate them. When they said they were inspiried by New Found Glory and Blink 182, i thought maybe this could be a better... Read more
