2010, Darker in tone than previous efforts, Lostprophets' fourth album is possibly their least pop-focused release to date. Taking inspiration from band's such as Faith No More, although THE BETRAYED may not be as immediately accessible as more recent efforts, it has much more depth. Some of the material here recalls the band's earliest days as a hardcore punk act, shedding the emo/pop-punk style for which they are widely known. This album has had a large amount of coverage, many delays and the band being vocal about what they wanted to do with it. The main thing they set out to do was deliver a darker album than the pop rock of LIBERATION TRANSMISSION, that they certainly have. It harks back to what they did with the first two albums yet retains some of the huge choruses found on LIBERATION TRANSMISSION.
