    Boring over the top highschool metal for kids between the 12 and 16 years old.

    What happened to the fist-pumping explosion of pure energy that was the fake sound of progress? What happened to the orchestrated hard rock balladry of Start Something? Its disgusting to think about what these guys might do for another hour of airtime on MTV or mainstream radio stations. When I listen to the highlights of their first album, the fake sound of progress, I just think, yes! What happened to the fist-pumping explosion of pure energy that was the fake sound of progress? What happened to the orchestrated hard rock balladry of Start Something? Its disgusting to think about what these guys might do for another hour of airtime on MTV or mainstream radio stations. When I listen to the highlights of their first album, the fake sound of progress, I just think, yes! This is what metal is all about. And to think, with proper production and a little time they could have made the best nu-metal album to date. Instead they changed, some argue for the better, they certainly sold more. The new sound wasn't all that bad again. It was refined and crisp. But now they have taken another step into the abyssmal pit of pop-rock. To me, it sounded like avril lavigne, but instead a guy was singing. And that's fine if you're 14 and like to sing in front of the mirror. Expand

    Around the world, 15-year-olds will fall for this band. Then they will turn 16 and move on. [30 Jun 2006, p.161]
  2. Lostprophets are big and brash and brilliant. And this is rock'n'roll radio.
  3. Lyrically absurd, musically turbo-fuelled.
