    Any got this album yet?

    Personally I'm a little disappointed, it's a real hit and miss album for me. Song like DSTRYR/DSTRYR and Next Stop Atrocity are absolutly amazing songs, their much more raw and back to their older style. I even enjoy their current singles. All of these are within the first 5 tracks. After that it turns to ****. It's not because it mainly pop, I for one loved their third album 'Liberation Transmission' but none of them stand out in the slightest, it's just bland. They wanted to have some of the older stuff and also please the mainstream at the same time. It just doesn't work.

    The best work in the whole album comes from DSTRYR and Atrocity, not just because it's heavier, but because it the band at their best, raw, catchy and most of all fun to listen to.

    It's the sort of album a band who's already reached their peak and are trying to get their way back by experimenting and finding the success. Lostprophets don't need to do this. I'm not saying they shouldn't try something different, but they should at least keep an album consistent.
