Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
At the other end of the spectrum from the corporate-sponsored mainstream nu-metal angst of Limp Bizkit is Cardiff-based post-hardcore sextet Lostprophets, who, on The Fake Sound of Progress, frenetically prove that the fusion of disparate genres can, when done with passion, still sound like the most exciting thing on the planet. Although it may only be the group's debut record, it already sounds as accomplished as the work of their much-lauded Yank peers, Glassjaw and Incubus. Harnessing the thunderball riffage and haywire DJ scratching so beloved of the nu-metal firmament to a super-melodic new-wave instinct, tracks such as the excellent "And She Told Me to Leave" and "The Fake Sound of Progress" evoke everyone from Fugazi to The Police in a flurry of gunshot snare rattles, fleet-footed bass dynamics and fiery explosions of feedback. It takes a brave group of Brits to take on the American nu-metal hierarchy on their own turf, but if anyone's going to do it, surely this is the band. --Louis Pattison
Description
Re-release of debut album by Cardiff nu-metal act, winners of "Best New British Band" at the 2001 Kerrang! Awards. Remixed by renowned American producer Michael Barbiero (Metallica, Cypress Hill) to beef up the sound. An eclectic mixture of metal, post-hardcore and hip-hop with samples and electronic effects.
