thefakesoundofprogress
thefakesoundofprogress is the debut album from the Welsh rock band lostprophets. Released in 2000, it was recorded in one week for around £6000, & while originally intended as a demo went on to be released on Visible Noise Records. When the band signed to Columbia Records in 2001 it was partly re-recorded, remixed & re-released (notably combining many of the between track interludes into the end of songs, shortening the tracklisting) much to the chagrin of fans of the earlier release. This new version was released under Visible Noise in the UK. It includes the singles "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja" and "The Fake Sound of Progress".
Often seen as the heaviest of the first three lostprophets albums, many fans regard thefakesoundofprogress as the band's best effort to date.

Start something
The album was produced by Eric Valentine. He has also produced albums by Queens of the Stone Age and Good Charlotte.
MTV reports that the band chose the name for two reasons. Firstly, the band wanted to "motivate people to motivate people". "We spent the last three years touring and meeting loads of people who were like, 'I'd love to do this and that,' but they never had the drive to get up off their asses and do it," explained singer Ian Watkins. "Start something. Start anything."
The second is that the band recorded the album in a studio over ten months with a much bigger budget. lostprophets first album thefakesoundofprogress was recorded in a week and was originally intended as a demo.
As at the end of February 2004, Start Something has reached a peak of 33 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the US, and #4 in the UK. It has made the heavy metal charts in Australia as well as the album charts. Five singles were taken from this album: "Last Train Home", "Burn Burn", "Wake Up (Make a Move)", "Last Summer" and "Goodbye Tonight". The first four made the top 20 in the UK, with the first even making the top 10. "Burn Burn" has also made the Australian top 50 singles charts. "I Don't Know" was also released for radio airplay in the USA.
Track listing:
1. "We Still Kill the Old Way" – 4:20
2. "To Hell We Ride" – 3:40
3. "Last Train Home" – 4:35
4. "Make a Move" – 3:56
5. "Burn Burn" – 3:36
6. "I Don't Know" – 3:57
7. "Hello Again" – 4:56
8. "Goodbye Tonight" – 3:54
9. "Start Something" – 3:26
10."A Million Miles" – 4:32
11."Last Summer" – 4:07
12. "Sway...." – 10:25
On the UK release, track 12 is "We Are Godzilla, You Are Japan" – 4:05, followed by track 13, "Sway....", and on the Japanese release, the tracks "Lucky You" – 5:30 and "Like A Fire" – 5:47, were included as tracks 14 and 15 respectively. "Lucky You" was also included in the "Spiderman 2" movie soundtrack.

Last train home
Last Train Home is the second single from Start Something, the second album by the Welsh rock band lostprophets. This single is the bands highest charting to date and one of their most sucessful songs. The band refused to release the accompanying music video to MTV's Total Request Live, however, realising it could seriously damage their credibility among serious American rock fans, and thus make it harder for the band to establish a long-lasting career and loyal international fan base.
