It's annoying if it's on a Deluxe edition; it means they aren't gonna play it live. However it does mean the rest of the album will be better than this (hopefully)...
@DrummerBoy1039 that doesn't mean anything.. Mirror by lil wayne was a bonus track and now its a video.. and plenty of bonus songs are better than songs on a lot of albums
@LostprophetsArmy looks like he was lying ! it will be on "Weapons" as a bonus track (with another old scrapped song called "Save Yourself"), i wonder if they recorded a new version of if this will be the 2007 studio version. anyway i'm so excited to finally hear it !
@DrummerBoy1039 I highly doubt they would recycle a song that was cut from the last album. It would be cool if they put it on a special edition of Weapons along with the other cut Betrayed songs.
Jamie did say that they revisited some of the material that was scrapped from The Betrayed while writing the new album. (Yes btw I'm desperately clinging to the hope that we'll get a studio version of this song)
I heard this song a couple years back, and I was really excited for the new album, then they released The Betrayed and I was embarrassed for the band, as it was a very poor album by their standard. If this isn't released as a B-Side or some kind of studio version isn't done and released I will be very upset, because this reminds me of the Start Something era, which is still in my top 5 fav albums
I loved every one of ther albums including liberation transmission but my favourite is Start Something. I think that was the album that they really gave it all and each part of the band had there time to shine in different songs.
@DJShade707 They are set to release a singles album around november time that will include all their best hits and some of the B sides that never made it onto the album, and in 2011 they are supposed to release a new album, but i doubt that those times will stay as planned XD
I love every Lostprophets CD. But my least favorite (unlike most of the "real" lostprophets fans :P) is TFSOP. I like some of the songs but for some reason, most of them didnt make a HUGE impression on me. Like Awkward sounds like Shinobi's evil twin 0.o
I don't think this song is called "What Seems To Be The Problem, Officer?", though in lyrics we can recognize "So tell me officer how does it feel when evil hearts causes so much catastrophe..."
Holographic Mirror is just a bootleg CD with the B-Sides from the Fake Sound demo to Burn, Burn as well as a few live/acoustic shows.
There is also a compilation out there with the various Rock am ring/reading performances that they've done (although nobody has done that for this performance).
I dont know..but i want those songs too..hope they will release on the internet the whole scrapped album.Btw The Betrayed is the best album i have ever heard!
@retina555 same exactly here.... Start Something is my favorite album ever. my second fav is TFSOP, the the betrayed, then liberation. i thought liberation was a little too mainstream....
Me too lol, I can't find them anywhere. Lol The Betrayed is much better than Lib Trans, but you just can't beat thefakesoundofprogress and Start Something.
1. You should wait for another singles from The Betrayed, I'm sure, there will be some their "pre-Betrayed" stuff as Demo songs.
2.Write about your wish to the band (Twitter, MySpace etc.)...
The first variant is more realistic, but I also want to hear the scrapped album so there's a hope, that Lostprophets will hear our (fans') wishes and let us hear the scrapped songs.
@LEFT4BASS You're talking about the EP called "The Fake Sound of Progress", right? In which case, I have. And yeah, there were a few songs they should have put on their album.
I've heard 30 sec clips from the album and "The Dead" is not on the album. Album is soft. So much better songs I've heard when they work with Feldmann :( I like more of the songs but still miss heavier side of Prophets
Heard the lyrics, i think it was "What Seems to Be the Problem Officer?"...so sad they scrapped that fuckin album with fuckin' songs...my life will be complete when they will release theses songs.
im asking myself the very same question...how on earth could they scrapped such amazing song?! bless to the guy who recorded this song in such good quality,because there isnt any better than this one...and i really hope that some day it will come out as a studio version..some time after they release the new album
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm asking in all honestly are you honestly calling this an amazing song? Compared to fakesoundofprogress, Shinobi Vs Dragon Ninja or burn burn or something? Seriously...This just sounds like vaugely catchy noise.
This song could definitely still be on the new album, they could have easily just renamed it. I don't know why they would scrap this one its very catchy.
Maybe they renamed this song to "If It Wasn't for Hate We'd Be Dead by Now" I hope so it's too good. I think they should get "Streets Of Nowhere" out the album it's too weak compared to rest of new songs. The album will be so good "Destroyer" prove this
That would be amazing. My favorite I've heard so far is still Next Stop Atrocity, so I really hope they didn't change that too much from the live shows. It sounds like it'll be great studio version-ed.
yeah,you are right..but you never know..maybe it will be on the album..2 songs are still unknown...but if you like only this song maybe you can try listening to "destroyer" song,its also great as this one
