Originally Lostprophets’ new album was supposed to come out a long time ago. These Welsh dudes went to LA, spent a shitload of money recording it with John Feldmann and then decided it wasn’t what they wanted and scratched the whole thing. So that’s how come we had to wait four years before they dropped “The Betrayed”.
They do however deliver once again with a very polished album. “Dstryr Dstryr” is a foray into Rage Against The Machine’s territory with some angry-sounding funkmetal while “Next Stop Atro City” is vintage Lostprophets. It could however also very well be a lost Papa Roach song. A song like “Where We Belong” lays on the cheese a little too thick but overall these dudes pulled off another rocking yet catchy album that’s big on distorted riffs and slick choruses.
Score: 7 out of 10
