| Lostprophets are always going to piss people off. They're just one of those bands that people will profess to hate, while stubbornly refusing to reconsider, or even justify, this decision. It is partly down to their "we're a bunch of twats" image, partly down to the Incubus-by-numbers medio-core of their first album, and partly just because people get jealous of success. Always. |

The knives will be drawn: "They're ripping off Adamski"; "They're jumping bandwagons"; "They look like a bunch of twats". It won't matter. They're already hated, and they're used to it. Also, they know that this single is likely to go top five, because it's obvious it will. This is because, to be honest, it's probably the best single a British rock band has released in a very long time. It's got a great riff. It's got a great chorus. It's catchy, massive sounding and very sleek. It may overdo things slightly towards the end, but not enough to mess the song up.
It won't silence all their critics, but it will certainly force a lot of them into a rethink. There are barely any of our previous conceptions of the Lostprophets left in this song, and it's all the better for it. Suddenly, against all odds, their new album is actually looking like quite an interesting prospect. |
