Busted - Night Driver (November 25, 2016) Album • Page 32

This could be a new song for Album 4? From James' and Eric Bazilian's Tweet:

 

That actually sounds so good. Unfortunately I reckon they scrapped that in the making of Night Driver. Who knows though, they might revisit it this time around.

 

It is confirmed they have started work on their new album though. So that's good news.

BBC Radio 2 - The Michael Ball Show, Paul McKenna and Busted, Busted: "We're currently working on our 4th album in Los Angeles..."

 

Ready for new music.

 

Looks like they played a rough new demo yesterday called 'Nineties'. Haven't found a clup yet though.

There is also a clip of 'The Wrong Somebody' from the 'Eric Bazillian sessions' [for Night Driver?]

 

Apparently Matt said other people will have to wait about 6 months to hear it so I'm guessing they're aiming for a single/album release in March?

I think they'll play a new song at the RAH show too which I'm very excited about.

 

Seeing people with their DVD’s is making me envious. Mine probably won’t get here for another week or two. Stupid shipping!

 

Finally some concrete news: They've got about 20 songs written, about to go into preproduction then recording with Gil Norton. Apparently closer to their original sound, which I don't know whether to be happy about - as long as they're all on board with the direction like they were with Night Driver!

I couldn't be happier with the producer choice - Gil Norton did my favourite album of all time (Our Earthly Pleasures by Maximo Park), and I think he did the Son of Dork album too? Worse news is that the album isn't slated for release until Q1 2019, but I can just about wait...

 

Fuck a 2019 release date.

 

I still haven't listened to this because they refuse to put it on Spotify.

 

Very excited for new material, always had a soft spot for these guys.

 

The drummer from the Pigs Can Fly tour has been vlogging about recording the new Busted album, and he let slip some song titles in his last video (it's blurred over now but the damage is done.

It looks like they're recording another version of What Happened To Your Band - tbh I'd rather that was released as a B-side or something, rather than being on the album proper. Other visible (working/real) song titles are Nineties, All My Friends, All The Bass, No Man's Land, Radio, Reunion (All My Friends has been talked up by James on Twitter as having big single potential).

 

Yeah I really hope What Happened to Your Band isn't on the album. They've been talking about how many great songs they have so why would you redo that? The McBusted version is good enough.

I just want to hear a song so I know what direction they're going. They've said it's more like their earlier stuff and I really hope that just means guitar based and not silly/jokey.

 

Cobus's videos from the studio are quite cool!

 

Is this a new song clip? If so... they’re pivoting quite hard from Night Driver, huh? I actually really liked that album and was hoping they’d continue evolving that sound... but I’m open to this too.

 

Didn't they make a big thing about not wanting to come back a slightly heavier version of them before?

 

I feel like I'll enjoy whatever they put out. I really hope that the use of the logo on the first album background doesn't imply a first album anniversary show because their debut is rough.

 

I'm cautiously excited. Not loving how much James keeps mentioning going back to the old Busted sound. If that means jokey songs I'll be pretty disappointed. If it just means guitar based then I'm all for it as long as it's still a more mature Busted.

I have pretty absolute faith in Charlie at this point though so I'm sure I'll at least love his vocals and melodies no matter what kind of album it is.

 

I'm a fan of teen pop and will defend that genre to death but their first album wasn't good, I'm not really optimistic but we'll see.

 

Wouldn't be mad if this is closer to Matt's solo album.

 

Matt’s solo album had one song that went all RATM-riffage

 

Wait really lmao... someone link this please

 

:)

 

I surprisingly don't hate this haha
