Present For Everyone, A - Busted

...Their second album, A Present For Everyone, which I am reviewing now, was released on 17th November 2003 and sold 27,000 copies in it’s first day. 1,000 more copies than Michael Jackson’s greatest hits album. Michael Jackson and his album got a lot of publicity during the week so it entered the album chart at number 1 and Busted’s album only reached number 2. * Album cover * The cover of Busted’s album is a picture of them pulling faces at the ...
...the album cover and ‘A PRESENT FOR EVERYONE’ is written in small white letters at the top. * The Inlay * The inlay includes photos of Busted, lyrics to all of the songs on their album, individual thankyou’s and band thankyou’s, information about each of the songs (who wrote them, producers etc.) and information on how to buy their ringtones, logos and picture messages. * The tracks * There are 15 tracks on the album, all written or co-written ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

...but this one, called “A present for everyone” is soooo much better, and just to prove they are NOT a boy band they wrote all the songs themselves. They also won two Brit awards this year for Best Breakthrough Act and Best Pop Act Busted, as other reviewers have noted, have grown up as the lyrics are more mature, but they still sing with a youthful enthusiasm, you can tell that the boys really enjoyed making this album. They sing about ...
...for their frankness. To appeal to their younger audience they also use language that they will relate to, such as, loser, and loner, which is very hip and trendy! (Act your age!) This album covers everything from classroom crushes to breaking up with your girlfriend/boyfriend to teen trauma where your other half seems to be turning into you! The album starts with the sound effect of an aeroplane and there new single “Air Hostess“ begins, ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

...entered the charts anyway. 'A Present For Everyone' I feel is the best of the two albums the band released and is in fact one of my favourite albums of all time. Of their four Official UK Number One's, three came from this album; 'Crashed The Wedding', 'Who's David', and '3am'. In the album charts, 'A Present For Everyone' peaked at number 2, eventually becoming a Triple Platinum selling album. After the separation of Busted in January 2005, Charlie ...
...would seem then that 'A Present For Everyone' is the highlight of a career riddled with failure post-Busted for two of the three ex-members at least. Kicking off with the Number Two hit single 'Air Hostess', 'A Present For Everyone' starts as it means to go on and is an extremely promising and positive introduction to the album. With a massively catchy chorus and instantly hummable tune; 'Air Hostess' is a gem of a pop track and really sets the ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

...Their second album, A Present For Everyone, is the same style as the first one, but matured in a way. There are a range of different songs, from the fun pop style like Crashed The Wedding to the emotional, ballad type like 3am. They write about realistic things like their girlfriends faking orgasm, wet dreams and calling up their ex in the middle of the night. The album consists of 15 tracks: Air Hostess (Self explainitory, all about their love ...
...World 2) Whos David (About a girlfriend cheating with David) She Wants To Be Me (About a crazy girlfriend who likes you so much, she wants to become you) 3AM ( Written about the times when your drunk and you call up your ex at 3am) Falling For You (Simply about falling for someone) That Thing You Do (Again, simply about loving your partner) Over Now (When a relationship is over) Fake (A personal favourite, about your girlfriend faking orgasm) ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

Ok - right.....I'm a 17, nearly 18 yr old guy who's at a sixth form and i like rap music and punk rock. SO why am i writing a review on this rubbish 'pop' band......well because I don't think they are rubbish, in fact i think they are pretty good and this album is very very good. They are a pop band, and contrary to all the rumours, they do write their own music and they do play their own instruments. But to be fair, this isn't what you look for ...
...songs, typical pop songs, some different slower songs, some more aggressive sounding songs, but generally a high level of music. Ok - my own opinion on tracks... I'm not a fan of the released singles - Crashed the Wedding and Air Hostess....Purely based on the fact the lyrics suck and they are overly cheesy. I mean 'I messed my pants as we flew over france' isn't the best! But having said that, these are incredibly catchy. Their No.1 'Who's ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

After being obsessed with busted when they first came out, i felt that this album had less punch, less excitement, less teenage lyrics [which is how busted made themselves so successful with the young girls] The lyrics are just as cheesy but the songs weren't as good. The videos for the songs were probably better and more cheekier though. My favourites are She wants to be me, 3am, falling for you, that thing you do and nerdy. Busted are more ...
...but the good ones are much better than on the previous album. If you want a good album for all moods then buy this. For holiday romances, you have airhostess. For break ups, you have quite a few of the songs like Over now, 3am For feeling 'unwanted' you have fake and nerdy. Busted show they can still appeal to a teenage audience with some thought provoking, well written lyrics to catchy songs. Sounds similar to Simple plan, the american version ...

...group has a distinctive voice and vocal style. The tracks are addictive and sung with genuine feeling. These boys are gifted. 'A Present For Everyone' certainly sheds Busted of the typical boyband image. This is because they are singing about how it feels...and doing it in their own way. ...

Review of Present For Everyone, A - Busted

Oh, I do miss Busted and their punk-pop style. These songs always remind me of school and being a teenager :P I still know all the words, about 4 years after they split. So I think that qualifies them for good lyrics :) The tunes were catchy, everyone had a poster of them on their walls and fought over who loved which 1 the most. If that's not a sign of a good band, then what is? Even though they sadly split years ago, and Matt recently won Im A Celebrity...I still recommend you purchase their albums. You won't find any bands capable of singing such cheesey songs nowadays and still being every teenage girls fantasy. ...

THE NEW GENERATION OF ROCK/POP Busted go from zero to hero in just two years with a Number One single, a double platinum album and a sold-out UK tour under their belts, Busted have MADE THEMSELVES one of the most famous and best chart regulars in the UK. And I find it amazing amazing that it has all happened so quickly. Song List 1. Air Hostess(Made the charts) - A really good song that you feel you need on full blast . 2.Crashed the wedding(Made ...

...launched onto the scene. A present for everyone is no doubt the key word, because this really is. 13 unbelievalbe tracks that will suit any type of person no matter what music your into. The album has a wide range of variety from the classic rock/pop with Crashed the wedding and She wants to be me but also gives a little somehting extra from the lads with slow , moving songs such as 3am and Meet you there. This album has mountains of potential and ...
...good it is. All the songs on the album are written by all the boys which include: Air Hostess Crashed the wedding Who's david She wants to be me That thing you do Over now Fake Meet you there Why Better than this Can't break thru Nerdy Every single song is brilliantly written which such enthusiam and creativity.

...David, She wants to be me and That thing you do. These songs are a few of the songs you can sing along to and i like these songs because the lyrics are great. On this album busted have sung some more excellent songs that i like and the lyrics that have been written are cool. I have liked Busted from the beginning and i think that their vocals are excellent. Busted were very talented when they were together. This album was slightly longer than the ...

...released there second album `A present for everyone` (Well I would hate to get some thing like that so that’s already set the scene. Faults in the band. The first major fault in the band in a lack of a drummer but in all there music you hear one. The second is that they jump around like a big bunch of losers, like how embarrassed would you be if thousands of people watched you doing that while playing a really crap song. (I give that up to them) ...
...would you be able to play the guitar/bass whole jumping around like an ape with his ass on fire while singing an out of tune song. Why not to buy there album and what’s wrong with it . Firstly the fount cover has there pictures on which means you’re a sellout and the record company they work for needs to sell copies. If you buy the band will stay together longer and they will have lasted to the year 3000. And last I did buy the album for my 6 ...

I recieved this CD for christmas last year, and i listened to it quite a bit. Some tracks are really good, and quite catchy, but theres a few which don't stick in my mind. I haven't listened to it for a while though, whether that has something to do with McFly coming onto the scene, or that they've split up, i don't know. I would recomend this CD for younger buyers, in their early teens. I don't think it's really worth buying it, as they have split ...
