Topic: Album Review: Lostprophets - The Betrayed"

[sam]

Over the past couple of months I've spent quite a lot of time listening to the [Lostprophets'] latest offering - "The Betrayed". Now this is not the best offering from the Lostprophets ever I still quite enjoyed it. Its got their usual sound but I dunno, I just feel something is slightly missing. I think my favourite track on the album is "It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It From Here" though you can really hear the Billy Talent coming through... then again I like that. So I'm not moaning. This is in contrast the to the more melodic "Where We Belong". Proper Lostprophets is found on "Next Stop Atro City" - you might even be able to hear the Pontypridd coming through (that's Welsh to most of you).

I have one Lost Prophets album, and there were a couple of good tracks (in my opinion), but it was an otherwise forgettable album.

do you know which one? I'd agree that they can be a little hit and miss.

I had to look for the album cover on Play, which I recognised, and it was called Liberation Transmission.

I quite liked that one but would agree it was hit and miss... I'm a big fan of their earlier work.

There's nothing really around that takes my fancy at the moment.  I've bought a couple of obscure proggy albums, which wouldn't be of interest to anyone, but other than that, I think the next one I'm looking forward to is the new MCR, once they get a new drummer.

indeed!
