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


CD Description

'A Present For Everyone' is the second album from three piece pop outfit Busted. Continuing in the vain of their debut release, the album is a mix of skate-punk, pop ballads, and cheeky lyrics, earning the band comparisons to Blink 182. The UK number one single 'Crashed The Wedding' is also included.

5.0 out of 5 stars So Far So Good, 3 Nov 2003
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.....

5.0 out of 5 stars Who cares if it's pop or punk?!, 30 Nov 2003
By A Customer
Who cares if it's punk or if it's pop, noone can deny that they are a marketing dream. Whoever thought this one up clearly saw a way of making a quick buck and good on them. They've got three lads, all undenyably good looking, got them to write hilariously funny (and catchy) songs and made a considerable amount of money in the process. Who cares if it's as cheesy and manufactured as "pop idol" because if they are giving people the music they wanna hear then good on them. We'd all like to be in their shoes, they are young, talented and loaded.

This album shows a different and more polished side to the band and the standout tracks are '3am', 'crashed the wedding' and 'why'. Some say they are an insult to the world of punk but if they are making succesful albums, then does it really matter?

Theres a stigma attached to being a busted fan. If you ever admit to liking this band then youseem to have your "proper punk fan" label stripped of you. There shouldn't be because again they've made a cracking album thats selling like hotcakes and they are having fun in the process!

Don't waste your time pretending to think it's a con, refusing to buy their albums and protesting that you hate them. Your not fooling anybody! I can't wait for the day that people accept this band for who they are and appreciate that they make undenyably popular and catchy music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Stuff!, 9 Feb 2004
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!
