Eh, it wont be my favorite track from the album. Lyrics aren't really working for me. However, instrumentally, it's pretty indicative I'll be happy with the album.

Hopefully they released this one due to a more "radio friendly" sound over all. But I still like it.

It's got "desperate grab for mainstream success" written all over it.

This is pretty good, but he overdoes the lack of melody in the verses. I get what they're going for, but it's just too much.

No, BonRurgundy, feel free to do that... I just don't like the way in which you do it. All I've seen from you is negativity. I just don't have a good first impression.

It's irrelevant really, but their profile picture on Facebook is incredibly deterring.

These guys were my favorite band throughout middle school, I was just WAITING for that The Betrayed album, mayne. Anyway, Start Something is still fantastic. I don't want to listen to this and kill my opinion of them.

Oh Jesus is Ian still trying to pull off the "scene" look? That shit was sexy a few years ago but now it's just, "...really?" The dude's probably going to be thirty soon if he already isn't.

and that "rap-rock" thing is disgusting. The only time I've ever seen that work decently well is with RATM and certain nu-metal songs (Deftones, early early Limp Bizkit, SOME Linkin Park) but this is just gross and trying to jump some bandwagon.
OH, and when Trae sampled Electric Wizard that was being on some trill shit #real talk

This doesn't really sound like the LP I used to listen to. It's not fucking terrible, I wouldn't be dissapointed if this started playing on the radio over a lot of whats playing now.

Verses are shit but the chorus is probably one of the best they've written since start something.

I remember their first CD was actually pretty good. Had pretty good musicianship. This definitely has the mainstream click to it. Not bad though.

"This is pretty good, but he overdoes the lack of melody in the verses. I get what they're going for, but it's just too much."

Well said Adam. In fact, is it even Ian singing the verses?

a bit like him from their first record personally. When they sounded a lot like Faith No More. As far as a reference point Davey; I think it is definitely Ian.

Yeah, good point yeti. Although, because that was their debut, it was cool. Because this is now, it will be seen as lame. ;-)

This song, weird as it might sound, almost makes me think they've sorted out the crossed wires that made me less-than-impressed by their last record. I'm looking forward to... holy fuck, April 2?! Fuck that.

Just to confirm, Jamie (on his twitter) has stated that this is NOT the lead single from the album, just a teaser.

That's my point. I like Lostprophets but let's be honest, they've never shied away from writing a radio-friendly catchy hook

I'm going to reiterate something; nothing this band has done, or will do, will ever touch start something. Album is glorious.

Also, what is all of this rap-rock nonsense you guys are talking about, ya'll act like you forgot about Durst.

MOVE IN NOW MOVE OUT HANDS UP NOW HANDS DOWN BACK UP BACK UP TELL ME WHATCHO GONNA DO NOW.

I believe this is actually how he wrote the lyrics down himself so cut me some slack.

We need to come up with another word, as I'm unsure I'd call that "rapping".
