Product Description

Amazon.co.uk

Start Something is an appropriate slogan for the Lostprophets, as that's exactly what the Welsh six-piece are doing on their second album. Rather than continuing down the nu-metal path suggested on their first album, thefakesoundofprogress, the Lostprophets have widened their scope and created a second album that's less an evolution and more a change of direction. The Lostprophets haven't so much lost touch with their rock roots as spread them further, tapping into emo and hardcore as well as more familiar hip-hop tinged metal of recent tourmates Linkin Park (especially on "We Still Kill the Old Way" and "Make a Move").

In the style of Rage Against the Machine, first single "Burn, Burn" is a catchy teen-angst anthem with an unforgettable riff; standout second single "Last Train Home" out-emos the Lostprophets' American peers (including Good Charlotte, who provide guest vocals). Best of all, the willingness to experiment that the Lostprophets demonstrated on their debut remains on Start Something: "I Don't Know" and "Goodbye Tonight" even suggest recent American hardcore and emo pioneers such as At the Drive In. Even singer Ian Watkins' voice has improved, so that he now sounds even more like Faith No More's Mike Patten--and that's no bad thing. Granted, few people over the age of 25 will have much time for the music or sentiments of Start Something, but it's doubtful that the Lostprophets or the millions of rock fans that this album should convert will be too concerned about that. --Ted Kord

5.0 out of 5 stars The start of something HUGE 17 Feb 2004
Format:Audio CD
Okay so it isnt the START of something considering it is their second album but it is according to the band themselves who say that this is their first album proper. anyway this album is absoloutely fantastic from start to finish! AS heavy metal fan myself whose favourite bands include Machine Head and Metallica, I was a little apprehensive at buying this in the first place as I thought it would be a little too 'pop-like' for me. But I was wrong. The album starts with We Still Kill the Old Way which is one of the best songs on the album with a killer chorus and some inventive ideas to boot. Then we get To Hell We Ride which is followed up by the brilliant Last Train Home. My favourite songs on the album are We Still Kill the Old Way, Start Something (which has a riff that reminds me of Muse' Stockhom Syndrome by the way but that dosent matter!), Last Summer and We are Godzilla you are Japan. But every song on the album is a cracker, and the fact that they have those weird but cool outros on some tracks is also very inventive. Bascially this album rocks, its also mellow, has some great riffs and though yes it is different from their first album its still worth every penny of your money. album of the year contender already? I think so.

I bought this album, like many others probably, in the hope of more songs like Last Train Home, Goodbye Tonight and Last Summer, all of which were released as singles. If this is what you want from the album, please don't go for it. I'm not trying to put you off, it's just that I truly don't feel that the released singles represent the band and the album in their true light. Basically, the album is much heavier than the released tracks. I was lucky in that I like heavy stuff as well as the more lighthearted songs, but it won't be for everyone. However, if you would like something a bit different, and don't mind a bit of a twist in what you expect, then prepare to be pleasantly surprised. It is a great album by a great band and I thouroughly recommend it! The guitars are amazingly written parts, and the vocals will get you humming all day. Buy this album, but if you're not prepared for a bit of heavy distortion then unfortunately this album just ain't for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars start something with a bang 19 Jan 2004
Format:Audio CD
Many people rip this band off for being too commercial or mainstream but the fact is this is what this band strive not to be. There about the music which makes them worth a listen.
I've basically grown-up with lostprophets seeing them in everything from small barflys to academy 1's and they never cease to amaze me.
The addictive melodies and riffs are far more worked and fabricated in this the second album from the Welsh sextet, they songs are far more worked and more organised tha the debut but still have the same rebelliousness and attraction we all felt when listenin to F.S.O.P.
I heard these songs when they were first aired in Manchester and was awestruck, this is band not to be missed and should come with a safety warning for addictiveness!
Its time to start something, get addicted
