Album Notes
On 2006's LIBERATION TRANSMISSION, the Welsh heavy-rock ensemble Lostprophets build on the bold, razor-sharp sound of their breakthrough record, START SOMETHING, by enlisting veteran producer Bob Rock (Metallica) and session drummer extraordinaire Josh Freese (A Perfect Circle). Often recalling both Faith No More (particularly vocally) and Green Day (with its slight punk-pop edge), the group excels at soaring, guitar-driven anthems, as best exemplified by the utterly infectious single "Rooftops (A Liberation Broadcast)." An album that deftly avoids nu-metal and emo trappings, LIBERATION TRANSMISSION went straight to the top of the charts upon its release in the U.K., leaving the alt-rock band poised for great success abroad as well.
Editorial Reviews
Ranked #12 in Kerrang's 20 Greatest Albums of 2006 -- [A]n embarrassment of melody-packed riches.
Kerrang
Here they know exactly what they're doing....A testament to its quality is that virtually every song here is capable of being a single.
Kerrang
Ranked #63 in Q Magazine's 100 Greatest Albums of 2006.
Q
3 stars out of 5 -- [T]he presence of veteran Metallica/Motley Crue producer Bob Rock adds a top-dollar sheen to the youthful verve.
Q
The mix of pop-punk dynamics, classic-rock riffage, and hair-metal flourishes is well executed, and the lyrics channel teen angst with adequate drama. -- Grade: B-
