Rooftops

It's catchy, it's poppy... kind of like the rest of the CD. The message is pretty strightforward, appreciate every day and don't be ashamed to let everyone see it. Don't hide yourself from the world, live life and appreciate all the joys it can bring.

Lyrically, I love it. A bit repetitive towards the end, but solid nonetheless, a great effort and a positive and upbeat song at a time when so many other bands just put out "I'm so depressed, life is so negative" stuff, Lostprophets never fails to put some really inspiring tracks on their CD's, which is one thing that I still do love about them and the new (well new'er) CD.

I don't know though, I purchased it last week and have listened to it a couple times now and I have mixed feelings about it... I'm glad that they tried something new and I think that the tracks all "gel" a lot better from start to finish on this CD, hands down.

But part of what I loved about Start Something was the fact that there were really hard songs like "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja" and "We Are Godzilla, You Are Japan" with the scrathy guitars and screaming lyrics and then you contrasted that with songs like "Lucky You" and "Sway" and I just dont know if this CD can really even hold a candle to it's completeness... I think that lyrically this CD is solid, but it sounds too much like all the other "hot" bands out there.

I still like the CD and if you're a Lostprophets fan I think you'll find at least 3-4 tracks that you really enjoy. I am a little letdown though. I really thought that these guys were going to replace Finch as the mainstream "different" band. A band who could put together a CD with 2 scream tracks, 2 hard rock out tracks, 2 amazing lyrical almost acoustic tracks and then fill it out with a bunch of just different sounding music, but it's kinda just more of the same unfortunately.

Still would love to get over to the UK and see these guys live though, better then any of the other new crap out in the US at this time.

I know this isn't an album review site or anything like that, I was just wondering what some of the rest of you thought about the new CD. I'm not trying to bash it, I definately don't regret the purchase either. I just think my expectations might have been a bit too lofty.
