Ok im expecting a bit of a hammering for pluging an album from a guy that was in busted BUT..........his new solo album really shows his abilty as a singer/songwriter.
I really enjoyed his fightstar project and it was a shame that thats come to an end but its clear his new avenue is something the guys could not go down together.
Before writing it off completely give it a go. You never know!!!!!

I dont understand. You state you will probably like it but refuse to listen to it without valid reason? Just seems to be cutting your nose off to spite your face because of who people perceive him to be.
Yeah he sold himself out a fair bit to make money with busted but he had the nads to say i cant take this anymore and tried to be a genuine artist.

It's nothing to do with the busted thing either. Just can't listen for some reason! Irrational hatred, definetly. Nothing against him though MGZRod said:

I got the album the day it came out, after hearing and loving Parachutes.
It's a fantastic album, by a talented artist. I really couldn't give a flying f
k what he did previously, or what people think of my taste in music.
If you like it, buy it
And how, pray tell, can you not like Wolverine FFS?

I'm probably gonna lose a lot of man points, but I kinda got into Busted a bit. If you look past the semi-childish themes, a lot of their song writing skills are actually pretty good. On their last album 'A Present for Everyone' - they let Charlie have free reign on a song, and the result stands out quite a bit on the album, it's called 'Why' and has quite a bit of a Fightstar feeling about it.

If you're after more artist that are a bit like Charlie Simpson, check out a demo album produced about 4-5 years ago called The Suffolk Explosion. Had A LOT of talented artist on it that seem to have gone unnoticed by the mainstream. One band on there called Brigade write some quality off beat music.
I'll Be Your Emergency - Brigade
