"It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here" is the twelfth single by Welsh rock band Lostprophets, and the first from their fourth studio album ''The Betrayed''. It was released on 11 October 2009 in the UK, the first time they had released anything since April 2007. The release also features the song "AC Ricochet". Former drummer Ilan Rubin confirmed in an interview earlier this year that he wrote the song when he was 16. ==Reception== BBC Music made comparisons with the music of My Chemical Romance and stated that the song consisted of "''double-speed punk backbeat, the apocalyptic end-of-all-things lyrics, the massive terrace chant chorus, the strange effect on the vocals and the general air of churning turmoil''". It was also described as being dramatic and raised expectations for the corresponding album. In a separate review BBC Wales Music said "''it stands up with the likes of "Burn Burn" as one of their more abrasive hit singles''".〔(BBC Wales Music Track Guide )〕 Click Music called the single "''typical Lostprophets - big riffs and an even bigger chorus''" and praised the guitar motifs, but mentioned that it lacked "''lyrical credibility''". Rock Louder was very favourable stating that it was a "''Godzilla-sized''" track that is "''one of the catchiest songs to be released this year''". Q magazine described it as "''an end-of-days anthem tailor-made for the closing credits of Roland Emmerich's next apocalyptic blockbuster''".〔(Q Magazine Review )〕 It was included in Kerrang's Playlist for the week starting 30 September 2009 who described it as a "''stadium-sized singalong''".〔(Kerrang Playlist 30/09/09 )〕 Rock Sound magazine described the song as a "''typical Prophets anthemic sing-alongs that’ll please the aficionados''".〔(Rock Sound 'The Betrayed' Review )〕〔(Rock Sound Review )〕 Whilst in the Rock Sound Readers Poll 2009 it reached #5 in the Best Single category.〔(Rock Sound Readers Poll 2009 )〕 However not all reviews were positive. Gigwise thought the song was "''one of the weaker tracks on the album''" and noted that "''despite two guitarists duelling each other admirably never truly feels as big as it should be''".〔(Gigwise Track Guide )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「It's Not the End of the World, But I Can See It from Here」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
