Busted - Half Way There

Vinyl LP pressing. 2019 release. Half Way There is the fourth studio album by English boy band Busted. The album marks a return to the early pop-punk sound that the band originally became known for, after their previous album had a heavy electronic sound. A rush of melody and effervescent riffs that see the band blend huge arena-filling choruses with the classic pop-punk sound of Blink 182 and New Found Glory. Lyrically it's often reflective and nostalgic ('Reunion', 'All My Friends' and a mini Busted autobiography in the shape of 'It Happens'), but there are some fantastical flights of fancy too in the shape of 'Shipwrecked In Atlantis' and a tribute to Elon Musk in 'Race To Mars'.
