LostProphets (hardcore, rock, favorite song, genre, albums)

Fake Sound of Progress is great (prior to when they butchered it with the "remastering"). Start Something is eh, apparently they're working on a new one. Anyone else like them? Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja is my favorite song.

First album was tolerable. Second album was a horrific mess.

i was wondering when someone was gonna make a lostprophets thread. i have their start something album as well. at first i thought it was just blah but after i listened to it a few more times i started to like it.

ive liked most of their stuff. its fun to listen to and they put on a great show. they kinda have a similar sound to hoobastank almost, but they are far better.

I think they are horrid.

I feel like David Frost. I'm gonna go take a shower now.

yeah I had a listen, and they were ok/good-ish, but I didn't hear anything that really grabbed my attention. I'm not even sure what it is, the music just seems kind of calculated and predictable. Ok band, nothing too special for me though.

Hmm. I dont think it needs to be said again that they used to be far better.. There's the odd song on Start Something thats okay to listen to, I dont mind Sway every now and again, but I'd much rather listen to Kobrakai or summin.

They're not awful, but they could have turned out better. And more unique..

I dislike this band :/

Their "Fake Sound of Progress" album was decent enough, some good tunes. But with the new(er) album they have lost their hard sound and adopted an emo melodic sound, which I dont like...and plus Ian Watkins is an arrogant t*sser, which makes me dislike them more

Righto... so this is certainly not the best place for this thread, but i wasnt going to be earbashed about my choice of genre for it so here it is, voila! smack bang in general music. Anyways. Feel free to earbash me anyway if its something you feel compelled to do, i wont take offence, i swear :P

Anyway. So i wanted to talk about Lost Prophets. I love them. I don't know why. Given i have not a musical note in me, i can't even tell you whether its their beats or rhythms or awesome riffs or etc etc i cant even tell you the difference between all these, im a dumbass alright. Anyway, point being i fXcking love them... Anyone else joining me here??

Righto. So now someone tell me, what the hell is it with bands and their apparent need to go "softer" and "less screaming" or whatever it is you want to call it that they seem to do after the first album or two... Bands like silverchair, softening after freakshow... why do they do it?!!?! Is it so people that don't like heavier stuff with screaming or grind style drumming will listen to them because it freaking pisses me off royally. Why do they stop showcasing their really powerful talent because they want to be mainstream chart topping fXckers that get more recognition for their work than everyone else.

So to bring those two points together... OMG at Liberation Transmission... Okay so LP aren't really that heavy anyway, they're kinda stuck on a rock/emo trying to be heavy screamo/hardcore kinda thing or something i dont know. But man... talk about disappointment... i mean i love Fake sound.. and Start Something.... but Liberation Transmission (the new album, its been out about two weeks) is like.. so much like NICKLEBACK. OMG. I couldn't belive it. The new album to me, seems so inconsistent. There are only a couple of songs that come close to measuring up to the energy and power that i think comes out of the other albums. And some of them, are deadset nicklebackish.
