This article refers to the album thefakesoundofprogress. For the single, see The Fake Sound of Progress, and for the demo see The Fake Sound of Progress (EP).

thefakesoundofprogress is the debut studio album from the Welsh alternative rock band Lostprophets. Originally released on November 27th 2000, it was recorded in one week for around £6000, & while originally intended as a demo went on to be released on Visible Noise Records. When the band signed to Columbia Records in 2001 it was partly re-recorded, remixed & re-released (notably combining many of the between track interludes into the end of songs, shortening the tracklisting) much to the chagrin of fans of the earlier release. This re-released version of the album was released on October 8th and December 4th, 2001 in the UK and US respectively.

It includes the singles "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja" and "The Fake Sound of Progress".

Often seen as the heaviest of the three Lostprophets albums, many fans regard thefakesoundofprogress as the band's best effort to date.
