As if I couldn't fall any deeper in love with the lyrical genius that is Ian Watkins of the Lostprophets - I just fell some more! The Betrayed, I can't stop listening to it! My iPod is going to be attached to my ears for the forseeable future! Lostprophets = Musical genius's!
The voice! I can't quite figure out what about his voice that I adore...It's just different, and his tone and pronounciation! 'OMG'! I could quite happily live the rest of my life and only listen to this group! =] Obvious shout outs to lead guitar, Lee Gaze, Bass, Stuart Richardson, Rhythm Guitar, Mike Lewis, Drums and Percussion Ilan Rubin until last year, and now Luke Johnson...Rather ever changing band members! All are awesome musicians though!
How anyone can say these are not talented people? And 'slag' off their work? Ignorance! I've had many a debate with old 'friends' who have complained about the 'aggressive' nature of the music - obviously not taken the time to listen to a full album and take notice of the lyrics! Of course it's not for everyone, this is the point of music, is it not? And the stereotype that comes with it! JESUS CHRIST! We wear what we want! I don't approach Chav's to ask them to wear their hat correctly, or un-tuck their trackies from their socks! Much as I don't complain to 'Goths' or whichever other name you can come up with to change their shoes, as these are too 'platformy and buckle-bound'!
I guess the point of this post is to defend the music I love, and applaud the beautiful album! I can't remember the last time I was THIS excited about buying a new abum! Apart from of course 30 Seconds To Mars's 'This Is War'. Which is going to be EPIC when I see them this February!
Now, the time comes to sign off. Down to the pub to shoot some pool - and blatently end up making a show of myself by trying to be clever, hitting the ball off the table and smashing a bottle of vodka behind the bar - I'm THAT clumsy!
Thanks for reading =] x
