What Parents Need to Know

About Start Something

Parents need to know that the CD offers intense, straight-ahead rock & roll: interesting, well-performed, and almost squeaky-clean. The one use of the "F" word is on a spoken-word interlude, a recording of a message on someone's answering machine. Your teens could do a lot worse than listening to this CD.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about whether the lyrics stand out. In some rock & roll, the lyrics play second fiddle to the beat and music. But how about this CD: Do you think some of the lyrics are worth pondering?

    one of the best rock bands ever!

    These guys rule! I love them. I got there cd and listened to it almost the whole day. They are one of my favorite bands. The songs range from loud and screaming (not a lot) to mellow, hypnotic rock. These guys are defanately (or how ever you spell it!) one of the best rock bands!

    An awesome CD

    This is a great cd. When I got this cd I thought it was awesome but I was a little surprised at the recorded phone message. The LOSTPROPHETS are an great band. Some other bands like LOSTPROPHETS are: STORY OF THE YEAR, THE USED and SENSES FAIL.
