Busted

English pop-punk/pop rock band formed in 2000. Core members include James Bourne, Matt Willis and Charlie Simpson. The band split in 2005 and reunited in 2015.

Half Way There is described in the provided DeBaser review as their fourth album overall and their second since the 2015 reunion. The review notes producer Gil Norton worked on the album.

DeBaser's review judges Half Way There as a deliberate, guitar-driven return to Busted's pop-punk/pop-rock roots. Produced by Gil Norton, the album leans on late-'90s/early-2000s influences and catchy melodies. The reviewer finds it enjoyable but somewhat shameless and formulaic.

For:Fans of pop-punk and early-2000s pop-rock; listeners curious about Busted's post-reunion work.
