Agreed...I've actually sort of stopped caring at the moment...Although I'll pay more attention in January when the album actually comes out and I'll probably enjoy it...I guess they have to try and go a bit more mainstream for the first single...But I'm sort of avoiding it so I can judge the album as a whole when it comes out...

The thing is that single is "pop" like but it's much darker than any single they have released since they started releasing songs like "Last Summer". Lostprophets are hardly going to release a song like "Next Stop Atrocity" or "Destroyer" as a single with it's screamed verses and abrasive sound. They didn't even do that when they were Nu-Metal they saved the songs like "The Handsome Life of Swing" and "Kobrakai" to the albums, never dared release them as singles.

I understand that. I mean singles are always the weakest track on an album for most bands. I am personally looking forward to how far they go with the whole Refused influence on the album. They used to be one hell of a Hardcore Punk band very heavy, very metal. If Lostprophets can capture even a tiny bit of Refused's sound then this album will be a heavy one. Heres hoping anyway, I am tired of the ultra pop rock sound they seem to have opted for on Liberation Transmission even a slightly darker sound will please me.

So,we've got a builder fixing our shower at the moment,and he has his radio on while he works...This morning I heard It's Not The End Of The World,But I Can See It From Here come on just before I left...The quality wasn't great and it was only the second time I've heard it I guess...But I'd say it was alright but not amazing,compared to their previous work...I then thought about how I wished they could release a single like Last Train Home or something like that again or Last Summer if they're going to release a single...I mean I love Lostprophets,or have done at least,and I've seen them live twice...But when I went on to listen to Start Something in full for the first time in nearly 3 years,it just made me realise that,quite frankly,if they release anything that's even half as good as that album,I'll be impressed and somewhat surprised

Edit:

Listened to it again...It grew on me a bit...I still don't think the album will be anything like Start Something but I'll still try and see and wait till I can hear it in it's entirety to make a decision...A bit anxious...But I'll wait and see...

I found my old Fake Sound Of Progress again and i started listening to it again and since last week i've been listening to it.I almost forget about them and its still my favourite lostprophets album.It made me realize what i was missing.

17 show UK Tour has been announced for February next year...Tickets going on sale on Friday for those who are interested...Actually listened to them a fair bit in the last couple of days but I don't think I'll be going to be honest...Although I've wondered about seeing at the Academy before...Especially the new one...But I don't think I have the interest in them at the moment quite frankly...Maybe the new album will come out and blow my mind and I might regret it...But I don't think I can be bothered booking this far in advance at the moment...Tickets will probably sell out pretty much immediately anyway...So I'll just wait and see what the album's like around the same time I think...

New single and video... Not sure what I think right now...
