This new Lost Prophets album sounds exactly like their previous effort ‘Liberation Transmission’. Oh wait this is not a new Lost Prophets album, it’s the debut album from Welsh band Attack! Attack!
Now, before I even begin the review I’d like to give Attack! Attack! a 0 out of 10 for creativity due to its blatant lack of originality. I am unsure whether their copycat feel comes from recording at the same studio that the legendary Lost Prophets have recorded many of their albums, or whether too many Attack! Attack! support slot tours with the Lost Prophets have rubbed off on them but, this album feels like nothing other than an extended bonus version of ‘Liberation Transmission’. Regardless of this fact I have to admit that some parts of the album -like the first track simply titled ‘Honesty’ are catchy. Gang vocals are attempted in parts on this album, such as track three; however they sound more like a few guys in a room than a gang.
Track seven is the most interesting song on the album, however I feel this track is a complete rip off of another local Welsh pop band “Kids in Glass Houses” as the intro quite clearly proves. The ninth track (on the ten track album) ‘Lost for Words’ is very easily the worst track on the album. There is no substance to it at all; the vocals are the worst performance on the album and each separate part of the song appears to clash with one another and it’s fairly obvious that vocalist Neil Starr has been listening avidly to Fall Out Boy’s Patrick stump to get some tips a little bit too much. The final track ‘Time is up’ actually sounds EXACTLY like a Lost Prophets track in both melody and refrain.
Attack! Attack! have just finished up a recent tour with ‘You Me at Six’. They also have an upcoming support tour with ‘Funeral for a Friend’. This is a Test has maybe gained them a higher status than is deserved, but I would attribute this status to gaining various contacts through being in their previous [and much better band] “Dopamine” and not from wowing crowds in their own right. I will be very surprised if this band gets much success from this album, I would actually be quite upset to be honest!
