    Night Driver is criminally underrated. My favourite Busted record.

      Same actually. Most of the songs on that record are a real vibe and in the spirit of Busteds hit making. Half Way There felt more like a rock out record without that magic songwriting touch that Busted is known for. The only song on that record in my opinion that's absolutely Busted and one of their best songs is Radio.

    Just saw these guys at download UK, OG fan as I was 11 when the first album came out. Felt like a dream it was so amazing and it was incredible to see them get recognition as the rock/punk band they wanted to be while being totally loved for their pop vibes ❤ Highlight of the weekend!

    ☺️ I absolutely love Night Driver, such a great album.
    Wasn’t as keen on Half Way There, some of the songs are great but overall it felt as if they thought they needed to go back to their original music, and I really don’t think that’s the case.
    I hope they’re bold and try something new like they did Night Driver, love all the original Busted sounds but they have so much more in them, can’t wait to find out where they go with it! 👍🏻

    • @adamknight7041

      Night Driver was great it had some amazing tunes on it but equally some turkey's too, Half Way There sounded like what Busted was always meant to sound like Pop-Punk but with more emphasis on a heavier rock sound. For me Half Way There is their most consistent album from start to finish, all the tunes on it are either good and superb!

      ​@Mathemoto yeah think someone posted a video from a sound check and Busted took questions afterwards and New Found Glory and Elle Eyre were mentioned that they turned down. With Blink, I'm surprised at least not Mark featured due to featuring on McBusted and McFly tracks but he has been working on new Blink stuff.

      As a Fightstar fan, i hated Busted for years but it's a mental block more than anything. The songs are fun and Charlie's voice is still there so they are enjoyable tp listen to and the several of the collabs really added something to the songs; the whole album was really well done. I went to the current concert and going again in a week, they put on a great show if you just let your preconceptions about it go; still hope for new fightstar music but Charlie's voice on anything is gold.
