Welsh sextet Lostprophets return with their sophomore effort, the ambitious Start Something. Riffing on the road map set in place by Linkin Park and Incubus, Lostprophets produce something that's ostensibly metal, but layered with electronica tweaks, production sheen, and an ever-vigilant ear for radio-friendly hooks. To that end, lead single "Last Train Home" is an unstoppable slice of post-grunge empowerment, guided by a thousand-foot chorus suggestive of the A.F.I. nugget "Girls Not Grey." Other highlights include the more aggressive "Burn, Burn," as well as the unsheathed switchblade of an opener, "We Still Kill the Old Way." Lostprophets might have over-smoothed the rough patches of their debut with this mainstream-ready second effort. But that same studio gloss means Start Something should appeal mightily to fans more into nu-metal for fast and furious pop and gadgetry (think Linkin Park's Meteora) than the guttural groans and anger management seminars of the bald singer contingent. ~ Johnny Loftus, All Music Guide

Gotta Be Somebody Nickelback |
| I saw Nickelback at the O2 in London in 2008. I was not expecting that much as I was not really a fan. However, I must admit I had a great night, they put in a great show and I really enjoyed the tracks played. The band come in for quite a lot of stick but I was really pleasantly surprised. Of course, I love the tracks "Photograph" and "How You Remind Me" but there is also a lot of other good stuff on those albums. The more I hear from this band the more I like them. "Gotta Be Somebody" is no exception to this. Great uplifting melodic chorus with a great bridge make this very worthy listening. Get over "Rockstar" being used in a TV ad and get listening. ©2008 Shazam Entertainment Limited. All rights reserved. | |
