The Lostprophets CD booklet proclaims: "6 bored kids = melody-aggression-emotion-energy-intelligence." What it doesn't say, but should: "If you like Incubus, you'll like Lostprophets." The British outfit mines much of the same territory as their more thoughtful nu metal, new millennium brethren, mixing an earnest Incubus hippie vibe with Creed-like sincerity and dash a of Faith No More oddity and syncopation for a commercial, if not groundbreaking, sound. Vocalist Ian Watkins has personality and passion and the band's playing is crisp and dynamic. Turntables, loops, and keyboards lend depth and hip-hop flavor to the melodic, tightly wound rock. The 11 songs here are all uniformly strong and intense, if not always deep and unique. --Katherine Turman

Great Alternative Album.......2006-12-19

Obviously not touching on the greatness of Start Something but still a Great debut from the welsh rockers. You can really hear the evolution from this into Start Something.
If you like We Are Godzilla, You Are japan and Ride on Start Something, then this album is definately for you.
Standout Tracks:
Shinobi vs Dragon Ninja
The Fake Sound Of Progress
Five Is A Four Letter Word
And She Told Me To Leave
Ode To Summer

Good stuff, i must say..........2006-11-02

This is just an amazing Cd through and through. The vocals are fresh and nice and lyrics are good. THe guitars are pounding and heavy oen moment and soft the next, same thing goes for the drums. Track 1,6, and 11 are in my view the best songs on this CD, escpecially track 1. This Cd is their best, though start something is pretty good too. Liberation TRansmission on the other hand isn't that great...but I wont get into that since I'm writing a review for Fake Sound of Progress.

Out of Fake Sound of Progress and Start Something, Start Something is definatly more catchy at first and you like it right away. Fake Sound of Progress, on the other hand, not so. Start something was the first of their albums I heard and I loved it. So then I checked out this CD. The first song was instantly a favorite. The openng riff was awsome and the whole song was just great for rockin out. But then after that, all the other songs just didn't catch my attention and I wasn't into to them to much. But after some more listens, this Cd grew on me. So while before I wasn't into this CD that much, now im obsessed with it. So don't judge this one on first listen because if your like me, it may need to grow on you.

Excellent.......2006-07-31

Recieved the CD, no scratched no damage to the case, excellent condition and prompt delivery

One of the best nu metal albums ever!.......2006-07-04

I first heard 'last train home' by lostprophets and instantly loved it. I then borrowed fake sound of progress and was surprised at the unexpected heaviness. I love most of the songs on the album as they are a great blend of hard nu metal, emo, and balladery. I also thought the guitaring sounded very original aswell as the combination of a clean guitar and a distorted guitar provided a real brilliant contrast.This was the best lostprophets album whereas the others are more commercial and not as aggressive( though they are still ver good) so I would recommend this as the lostprophets album to buy.Also, at concerts the fake sound of progress really gets the pits going!

Great debut album.......2006-02-25

I was introduced to this band a couple years ago by a friend and I really liked thier heavy sound with Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja. So I bought this CD and was very impressed. The singer has a very distinct voice that switches from melodic to powerful screaming that keeps me interested. Plus they have real heavy guitar riffs that punch you in the face. I also own Start Something and this is much better I think.
Fav songs: Shinobi, Five is a four letter word, Kobrakai.

This Single.......2003-12-28

Lostprophets are best ever. The song it says is a demo is a miss print - it is a Saves The Day cover and the song "need you tonight" is a cover of the inxs song. Peace

At the other end of the spectrum from the mainstream nu-metal angst of Limp Bizkit is the post-hardcore sextet Lost Prophets, 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. The group's debut is an accomplished work that ranks with those of much-lauded Yank peers Glassjaw and Incubus. Harnessing the thundering riffage and haywire DJ scratching so favored by the nu-metal front, they also mix in melodic new wave instincts. "And She Told Me to Leave" and the title track evoke everyone from Fugazi to the Police in a flurry of gunshot snare, fleet bass, and fiery feedback. It takes a brave group of Brits to take on the American nu-metal hierarchy, but this is the band to take up the challenge. --Louis Pattison

The orginal more metal lostprophets.......2004-04-26

Its seems like forever since lostprophets last made a record, and finally they made 'start something' which has been a fairly large hit in America. The Fake Sound of Progress was done only 3 years ago (2001), and i like it much more then ss. I own both cds, and start something is much more of a 'rock' cd, compaired to fsp which is more metal. Some of my favorites on the cd are Shinobi Vs. Dragon Ninja, The Fake Sound Of Progress, Kobrakai, and Ode To Summer. I highly recommend this cd. If you like start something be sure to grab this one too.
