Synopsis

Album Description

2010 release, the fourth studio album from the hard-hitting Welsh Metal heroes. The sextet's first two albums, 2000's The Fake Sound Of Progress and 2004's Start Something, won them national acclaim, before third release, Liberation Transmission, saw the band win two Kerrang! awards. This fine work is continued on The Betrayed, which is a much darker, grittier long player. As with previous releases, instrumental interludes frequently contribute to the listening experience, with singles 'It's Not The End Of The World But I Can See It From Here' and 'Where We Belong' among the highlights. Although, at times, album number four could be described as lyrically aggressive in tone, the big hooks that have made the band a worldwide sensation very much remain - having road tested these songs live since 2007, there is an evident sense of confidence on display throughout. Intelligent, assured and littered with festival-sized moments of heavy metal genius, The Betrayed is another jaw-dropping smash from one of the most innovative Rock bands of recent years.

CD Reviews

Great Album

James Lansing | CHAMPAIGN, ILLINOIS, US | 03/27/2010

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Again, I am pleased to own the another excellent Lost Prophets Album. While many people miss the days of "Fake Sound of Progress" I have enjoyed the direction in which the band has gone, mixing upbeat songs with some much more intense-fast paced-hard rock titles. Start to finish, an excellent listen. I would say this album is more of a cross between "start something" and "liberation transmission", started out fast, mellowing out, back to fast, and then calming down in the last couple of tracks. Now if only Itunes would stop being lame and release in the US, but thankfully there is still amazon and vendors who will ship it to you!"
