''Start Something'' is the second album by Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets , and was released on February 2 2004 in the United Kingdom and February 3 in the United States .


THE MAKING OF THE ALBUM

The album was produced by Eric Valentine. He has also produced albums by Queens Of The Stone Age and Good Charlotte .

MTV reports that the band chose the album name for two reasons. Firstly, the band wanted to motivate people they had met who stated that they would "love to do this and that" but never had the drive to do it. The second being that the band viewed ''Start Something'' as their first "musical step", as they felt '' Thefakesoundofprogress '', originally intended as only a demo, "did not accurately reflect their ability".http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1485340/20040225/lostprophets.jhtml?headlines=true/

At the end of February 2004, Start Something has reached a peak of 33 on the Billboard 200 album chart in the U.S., and #4 in the UK.
