Amazon.co.uk Review
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

Customer Reviews

Just Love Them
I heard one track by them on the radio and then found I liked a load more of the music. I ended up buying all the cds they had made so, yes, I can recommend them.

I just love their style of music and in particular, 'Last Train Home' which was the song that grabbed by attention. This single won the Best Single in the Kerrang Awards 2004.

An Excellent Album
I bought there latest album before I bought this one. So having listened to 'Liberation transmission' I decided to buy some more of the lostprophets stuff, since I liked them a lot. So I bought this album.

Its really good. As good as 'Liberation Transmission', and possibly better(I haven't decided yet). It features great songs such as 'Burn, Burn', 'Last Train Home' and 'Make A Move'. The latter is my personal favourite from the album since it has a breakneck pace to it and it seems to be un-stopable.

The Lostprophets are definetly one of the best rock bands around at the moment, even if they do seem to have gone a bit soft lately. So buy this album if you want to listen to some good rock songs.........

Liked the debut?? Avoid like the plague
I really enjouyed Lostprophets first album thefakesoundofprogress...and when I say first album, I mean THE FIRST album, with 16 tracks in total comprising individual interlude tracks.
If you LOVED the debut, you will be disappointed by this album. It clearly illustrates the differences between making music with meaning in your garage...and making diet coke tinged sell out download 'tunes' from a Sony sofa.
