Busted's last album was easily their strongest, and I believe James writes most of their material - so I'm quite optimistic for this.

I think this is more of a passion project for him than anything that's going to be massively successful. QUOTE(M4NGO @ Aug 14 2020, 11:44 AM) Yeah this is really bland and forgettable. What's happened to Busted anyway, are they taking a break? Yep, they're just between albums currently. I reckon the next one will be out next year

I am kinda surprised he is doing solo stuff now that Busted have come backin recent years. Everyone is My Friend is nice, it's quite a chill tracks. The Beatles, hmmmm.. I think maybe the label should have stepped in about this one haha (maybe it's a grower )
