Start something
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 name for two reasons. Firstly, the band wanted to "motivate people to motivate people". "We spent the last three years touring and meeting loads of people who were like, 'I'd love to do this and that,' but they never had the drive to get up off their asses and do it," explained singer Ian Watkins. "Start something. Start anything."
The second is that the band recorded the album in a studio over ten months with a much bigger budget. lostprophets first album thefakesoundofprogress was recorded in a week and was originally intended as a demo.
