    Overall a great album, something very unexpected was the change in tone n pace of the album in comparrison to SS. SS had great fast-oaced, heavier tracks such as We are godzilla, you are japan n start something. yet this album slows the pace down a bit n brings it down a notch in terms of heaviness. I found that a pleasant change but still a bit dissappointing as I have always loved the Overall a great album, something very unexpected was the change in tone n pace of the album in comparrison to SS.

I found that a pleasant change but still a bit dissappointing as I have always loved the heavy prophets. best track is deffinately rooftops, its like the next installment to possibly their best n most famous hit, last train home, n so it means great success. loses points for loss in pace n heaviness but gains points for lyrics and overall music. "prophet fans will love.… Expand

    The great concept of Start Something has evolved and is brought close to perfection on this album! The record boasts catchy and smart choruses though some of the songs lack certain incentive found in the Start Something inspired ones. LT falls short of being as career defining as SS, but is as good or even better than SS.

    It's catchy, fun and rocking at its finest. No need for existentialism and monstrous depth, just good tunes.

    I really thought this could be the best album this year aswell i thought AvA would be super amazing but it just falls short by the side. I first heard Rooftops and thought wow this is good stuff great vocals and a nice break will a druum fill then 3rd time it kinda seemed really samey. now this albums weak track to me has to be rooftops for its lack of not only musicianship but also its I really thought this could be the best album this year aswell i thought AvA would be super amazing but it just falls short by the side.

Great album but could have been a master piece ( also was it a good thing that mike left?)… Expand

    I wasn't a big fan of Start Something which I thought suffered from too much production (yes, it sounded too slick) and not enough musical ideas. That aside, I had fairly low expectations for this album. This really surprised me and has become one of my favorite pop/rock albums (yes, it's definitely more pop than metal) because of how catchy and melodic it is.

    Around the world, 15-year-olds will fall for this band. Then they will turn 16 and move on. [30 Jun 2006, p.161]

    Lostprophets are big and brash and brilliant. And this is rock'n'roll radio.

    Lyrically absurd, musically turbo-fuelled.
