"I first heard of Busted on my holiday to England. I bought their album after a friend recommended it, and fell in love before the first song was even over. All the songs are amazing, and I can tell Busted will be around for a long time!1.)What I Go To School For- Great song about a schoolboy crush on his teacher. Best line in the song "I fought my way to front of class, to get the best view of her ..."2.)You Said No-also known as Crash and Burn, this song has a catchy beat, and funny lyrics.3.)Britney-dedicated to pop Princess, Britney Spears. Lyrics include titles of popular Britney and *N Sync tunes- "You say that you're not a girl, I'll make you a woman."4.)Losing You-Beautiful slow song, and Charlie's voice will make you melt!5.)Year 3000-song about a trip in a time machine to the year 3000, and what life is like...living underwater with triple-breasted women!6.)Psycho Girl-strange, but funny slow song about a psychotic girlfriend.7.)All The Way-I'm sure many teenage boys can relate to this song about girls who aren't willing to go "all the way."8.)Sleeping With The Light On-My favorite slow song on the album, beautiful lyrics and amazing acoustic guitar.9.)Dawson's Geek-Poking fun at someone a little overly obsessed with Dawson's Creek.10.)When Day Turns Into Night-another beautiful slow song.11.)Everything I Knew-pretty upbeat song about life after love.12.)Without You-great slow song, but the beginning a little freaky with just the sound of one of the guys breathing13.)Interlude-not to sure the point of this song...just a 30 second guitar solo.14.)Loser Kid-one of the best songs on the album, about life as a loser "No one took the time to know me, the kick me sign was always on me."All in all, a great album, that you should DEFINITLY buy!!!"
Busted - "Even their name is excellent!"

"2003 has been a rollercoaster of a ride for Busted. They have just gone into orbit! They are huge now, not only in the UK, but in various other countries too, with both guys and girls. The music industry has recognised their talent and they are now WINNING AWARDS for best new act etc.I bought this pop/punk album last year (2002). The first time I saw the music video of 'What I Go To School For', that was it, I wanted MORE! They blend humour with teen angst and colourful imaginative videos. This album is a fantastic and very funny portrayal of teenage life, very cleverly written by the three guys themselves (Charlie, Matt and James - all gorgeous by the way!) ALTHOUGH AIMED AT TEENS, I'M IN MY 20'S AND I LOVED IT! The album is full of great songs (Upbeat and ballad). As far as 'boy bands' go, this is definitely the best British 'boy band'. They are up-to-date, sing in a pop/punk style and they play their own instruments. I look forward to their second album which is released in the UK next month and also hope they have a go at the States because I'm sure they would do well. Their sound and style definitely stand out."

This alb is da best and u should buy it definitly!!!!!"
Busted is Incredible

"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."
Absoutly Amazing

"I absoutly love this CD. I fell in love with them when i was in London last april. I think im the only person in the states that loves them. I keep this CD in my car at all times and whenever im feeling sad I put it in and crank up "What I Go to School For", it just makes me so upbeat and happy. You should definatly buy this. I know it is expensive for us Americans but it is SO worth it!!!"
