The Betrayed (Lostprophets Album)
''The Betrayed'' is the fourth studio album by Welsh rock band Lostprophets, released through Visible Noise and Sony Music on 13 January 2010. Although the band initially wished to record a quick follow-up to 2006's ''Liberation Transmission'', problems with labels and producers led to numerous delays. Consequently, tracks from the album were performed live as early as 2007, but recording was not completed until July 2009, following an entire album's worth of material being scrapped by the band. The singles include: " It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here", " Where We Belong" and " For He's a Jolly Good Felon". "A Better Nothing" was set to be the fourth single, but it was cancelled due to the poor charting of "For He's a Jolly Good Felon". Although drummer Ilan Rubin left the band before the album's release, his drum tracks were still kept on the finalized product.
