McBusted - 'McBusted' First Listen! A True Supergroup Is Formed

Two of the country's favourite bands have come together, so check out what we thought of their new album...

When we first heard that McFly and Busted were joining forces to created the glorious McBusted, we had no idea they'd go on to produce such a killer album.

Having both had huge success back when they were each doing their own things, this talented bunch of boys have knocked their heads together and really delivered with their debut self-titled record.

If you're wondering whether it sounds more like Busted or McFly, then don't panic, as it's a perfectly blended combination of the two, with elements of both clear as you listen to the 12 tracks.

Opening the album, 'Air Guitar' brings the pop fun we've come to expect from the group, which is brilliantly led by Matt Willis and James Bourne.

Clearly inspired by Blink 182, the one and only Mark Hoppus joins the band for 'Hate Your Guts' and 'Sensitive Guy' as he fits in perfectly within the Brit group. Though he isn't the only collaborator who hopped on board, All Time Low's Alex Gaskarth gets credit for the smash 'Get Over It', while Weezer's influence is evident in 'Getting It Out'.

Though no album is complete with some ballads, and this has hit the nail on the head in that department. 'Beautiful Girls Are The Loneliest', a song which you might recognise from Bourne's YouTube channel last year, slows everything down and brings all the emotion.

'What Happened To Your Band' hears Matt and James make up for lost time when Charlie Simpson got all the leads, as they lead a riot-style chant that'll have you instantly moshing wherever you may be. Though don't worry, it's all tongue-in-cheek.

While 'Riding On My Bike' is full of all the quirkiness you'll remember from the likes of 'Year 3000','Back In Time' would make even the calmest of people bounceoff the walls.

McBusted have well and truly proved that the year long wait fans have endured for this record, was so totally worth it.
