Product Description

Lostprphets: Ian Watkins (vocals); Lee Gaze, Mike Lewis (guitar); Jamie Oliver (keyboards, turntables, background vocals); Stuart Richardson (bass); Mike Chiplin (drums).
On their sophomore disc, Welsh metal band Lostprophets immediately launch into a heavy, staccato guitar riff that is joined by electronic tweaking, and it's clear that this opening track, "We Still Kill the Old Way," is going to rock. But then vocalist Ian Watkins jumps in, tempos shift, and before long the soaring chorus takes the song to even grander heights. This knack for being unpredictable defines Lostprophets and easily separates them from any run-of-the-mill nu-metal contemporaries.
In fact, much of START SOMETHING tips its hat to another band that resisted being pigeonholed: Faith No More. Watkins's dynamic voice often echoes the singing of FNM frontman Mike Patton, while the group's blend of fierce guitars, tight rhythms, keyboards, and mellow interludes also shares similarities with the elder band. However, Lostprophets are no mere FNM clone; they take that group's sonic template and apply to it to the musical landscape of 2004, even incorporating some of the emo elements used by acts such as Vendetta Red. On anthemic tracks such as "Last Train Home" and "I Don't Know," Lostprophets show vitality and inventiveness that is rare in early 21st-century rock.

1stの方がかっこいい音出してたね! でも2ndが自分は好き!何よりも曲が良いからｼﾞｬｹも1stに引き続きｲｶしてる車ん中で聴いてたらｽﾋﾟｰﾄﾞ出る!それほど爽快という言葉が似合うｱﾙﾊﾞﾑだちなみに3rdは更に捨て曲がなくなるでも何か変わっちゃった!アイドル？大衆受け？自分の中では2ndが一番です。

ビルボード全米アルバム最高３３位。全米で当時、１００万枚突破。アルバムチャートでもトップ１００位以内に１年ほどランクし続けたロングセラー。個人的には当時、スカパーでへヴィロテ放送されてたLast SummerのＰＶを見て即購入。ルックスもサイコー。４曲目のWake UpとLast Summerはシングル盤収録のシングルヴァージョンの方が音質がダイナミックにメチャクチャ良くなっているのでかなりおススメ！。でもとっくに廃盤なので入手は激困難。
