The first of these albums, The Fake Sound of Progress, was originally recorded for the meager sum of £6000 and intended as a glorified demo, but after catching the ears of several major labels, the band re-recorded and re-released the album on a much wider scale through Columbia Records. This resulted in a backlash against the band that was exacerbated by the four-year gap between their first and second albums. When the second album, Start Something, was finally released, the band achieved even greater success, entering the UK album chart at number five, and earning the band international popularity, most notably in the United States. Their third album entitled Liberation Transmission was released on the 26th of June 2006 in the UK and entered the UK album chart at number one.
In April 2007 Lostprophets began the Final Transmission - the last round of touring of their current album with Aiden and Taking Back Sunday as the confirmed support. The bands played at huge venues such as Wembley Arena. The end the tour, on Saturday 26 May 2007, lostprophets performed at The Full Ponty festival at Pontypridd's Ynysangharad Park. Pontypridd is also the hometown of most of the current band members and so the festival was advertised as "lostprophets homecoming". Other bands at the festival included Reel Big Fish, The Automatic, The Blackout, Gallows and Kids In Glass Houses .Following the tour, the band hit the studio to record their fourth album which Ian Watkins is describing as a return to their roots with heavier punk influences. Watkins says "It will be a lot darker and a lot more intense. It'll have a completely different vibe to it ... but it won't be like Converge or nuthin".
Their 4th studio album "The Betrayed" was released on 19 January 2010.
On 20 December 2012, lead singer Ian Watkins was charged with a host of offences involving sexual activity with minors. The band disbanded in October 2013. Watkins was later convicted and sentenced to twenty-nine years in prison, with six more on extended licence.

Can't Get Enough
Lostprophets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So nobody listens,
The pact that I make now,
Still something is missing,
I've got nobody here but me
I won't let you brake,
And I will not let you answer,
And everyone is dismissive,
'Cause this is something they cannot be
And through all those times I never walked away,
Yeah through all this hurt I still am yet to repay,
I will carry it safe with me!
'Cause I still need it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
I live and I'm breathing,
Can't get enough,
I just can't get enough.
I bruise and I bleed,
I take all that I need,
This is something you cannot break,
And I still believe it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
I stand my ground again,
I hear that sound again,
Lie after lie,
All those promises die with you
So I won't back down again,
Won't be unwound again,
When everyone stops,
I'll keep pushing this hate right through
And through all those times I never walked away,
Yeah through all this hurt I still am yet to repay,
I will carry it safe with me!
'Cause I still need it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
I live and I'm breathing,
Can't get enough,
I just can't get enough.
I bruise and I bleed,
I take all that I need,
This is something you cannot break,
And I still believe it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
I stand my ground again,
I hear that sound again,
Lie after lie,
Every promise has died with you
And through all those times I never walked away,
Yeah through all this hurt I still am yet to repay,
And through all those times I never walked away,
I will carry it safe with me!
'Cause I still need it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
I live and I'm breathing,
Can't get enough,
I just can't get enough.
I bruise and I bleed,
I take all that I need,
This is something you cannot break,
And I still believe it,
Can't get enough,
Can't get enough.
I just can't get enough,
Can't get enough

So many mistakes here,
There are numerous errors present here.
So nobody listens,
No one is paying attention.
The pact that I make now,
The promise I am making at this moment.
Still something is missing,
Despite this, something is lacking.
I've got nobody here but me
I am alone without anyone else present.
I won't let you brake,
I will not allow you to break.
And I will not let you answer,
Furthermore, I will not let you respond.
The path that I take,
The direction I am going.
And everyone is dismissive,
But everyone else is ignoring or discounting it.
'Cause this is something they cannot be
Because they are incapable of being it.
And through all those times I never walked away,
Despite everything that has happened, I did not leave.
Yeah through all this hurt I still am yet to repay,
Despite the pain I've endured, I owe more.
I will carry it safe with me!
I will keep it secure with me.
'Cause I still need it,
Because I still require it.
Can't get enough,
I can't have enough of it.
I live and I'm breathing,
I am alive and breathing.
I just can't get enough.
I desire more than I currently have.
I bruise and I bleed,
I am hurt and injured.
I take all that I need,
I acquire everything that I require.
This is something you cannot break,
This is something that you cannot destroy.
And I still believe it,
I still have faith in it.
Can't get enough,
I can't have enough of it.
I stand my ground again,
I remain firm and steadfast.
I hear that sound again,
I hear that noise again.
Lie after lie,
One falsehood after another.
All those promises die with you
All those pledges ended when you died.
So I won't back down again,
I will not retreat again.
Won't be unwound again,
I will not be unraveled again.
When everyone stops,
Even when everyone else ends.
I'll keep pushing this hate right through
I will continue to convey this anger without falter.
And I just can't get enough,
And I have an insatiable desire for more.
