    Masterpiece. A great opener sets you off on a journey of 13 absolute classics. The kind of album where every song is great and it is only a shame that they never managed to release more, from what I am calling, the best Lostprophets album to date. Songs like "A Million Miles" and "Burn Burn" make this album a true masterpiece.

    Ever since my friend told me about the Lostprophets and put this album on my iPod, i've been in love with them (even though the other albums are the greatest in the world and ofter come with only 2-3 songs worth listening to.)

    This kicks arse. I've listened to this pretty much non-stop since it first came out. If you don't have this you need it.

    good album. nothing new, nothing we havent heard before... but astonishly a well put together album! what i like about this album is how different each song is from the others. sometimes metal, sometimes rock and sometimes pop... "start something" will be in my cd player for a long time!

    This CD is great. They are a more talented band than linkin Park could ever hope to be. Lost Prophets have better vocals and better musical talent. "We Still kill The Old Way" and "Last Train Home" are excellent and only the tip of the iceberg here. Great stuff.

    Singer Ian Watkins has Mike Patton's croon/scream down cold, and his group deftly applies FNM's anything-goes approach: equal parts thrash riffs, symphonic keyboards and moody jazz intervals.

    The sound of a band throwing itself relentlessly at the limitations of its genre.

    Like their debut, 'Start Something' is ultimately too long but where it occasionally flags the pace is soon picked up again.
