Lostprophets - The Betrayed

After their previous record Liberation Transmission failed to wow the most hardcore of Lostprophets fans. The boys from the valley bring them right back to their roots in the gritty, hardworking success that is The Betrayed.

Released in January 2010, The Betrayed brings back the heavier side of Lostprophets whilst exploring new areas such as Funk, Ska and the ever popular sound of indie.

Immigrating to L.A. seems to have taken a positive effect on the overall sound the band is now producing. It is safe to say many were expecting an even more commercial track list than its predecessor (if that were possible).

By accomplishing a solid mix of genres, the album really finds its feet with a professional, polished sound.

Boiled Egg and Soldiers

It’s not very often you get so deeply indulged in your breakfast you begin making metaphors out of what you are eating.

In this case the boiled egg is Afghanistan and the sliced toast is playing the part of the soldiers. I know what you're thinking, how did you think of that?

Well everyday, be it on the radio or the television, there is a story on the war that is more often than not, bad news. The tally has now risen to 270, six of which have been in the last week. Another important stat to note is the 1,062 service men and women who have been wounded in action.

Wayne Rooney: Englands Best Chance

Looking forward to the World Cup, is Wayne Rooney the player who can drive England to victory in South Africa? This season alone he has 34 goals in all forms of the game; it’s hard to argue against the impeccable red devil.

Finally playing at the pinnacle of the Manchester United team, Rooney has proved his knack for goal scoring and continues to impress everyone from rival managers to reporters who recently, have been doing everything they can to exploit England’s finest footballers.

Chelsea v Manchester City

Footballs soap opera started with Wayne Bridge ducking John Terry’s handshake but was soon overshadowed by Craig Bellamy and Carlos Tevez who inflicted nine men Chelsea’s first home defeat of the season.

Frank Lampard opened the scoring but Tevez and Bellamy gave City a surprise lead with goals either side of half time.
