Intro:
Welsh rockers, Lostprophets, are set to release their third single from their
number 3 album 'The Betrayed' which was released earlier this year. The
latest single is entitled 'For he's a jolly good felon'.
Track Review:
The track begins with a catchy motown style beat, before Ian Watkins
(Vocals) introduce us to a set of lyrics that alone aren't amazing but paired
with the guitars and drums they appear very fitting. Ian Watkins, voice fits
the style of the song very well and is an improvement on some of the
previous 'Lostprophets' tracks. The slightly heavier chorus stands out
adds that little something to the song.
Overall it reminds me of the new style tried in the previous album
'Liberation Transmission' particularly in 'Can't Catch Tomorrow'. This isn't
one of my favorite tracks they have released but it is by far not the worst
I've heard by them.
7/10
