[edit] the cover

Does anyone know what the Latin (or at least that's what I think it is, I don't know latin) on the front cover means? I tried to look it up, but all I could find were dictionaries that gave meanings for each word but when they're put together it doesn't make sense. -Liz July 2, 2006

I tried looking it up too, and I found on a message board that it supposedly means "For us, for them, for you." Pretty cool. Personally, Burn Burn is one of my fav lostprophets songs. So I got a real kick out of that. Xthepicturex 13:53, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I believe that's true - latin translators generally come up with "for us theme for you" or similar, which is pretty close. Needs official confirmation if it is to be included in the article though. U-Mos 19:32, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh, that is cool. =) Thanks. --Lizzysama 04:45, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I'm a Classicist with 9 years experience of Latin, and I'm afraid I have to disagree with your translation a little. "nobis pro lemma vobis" is a bit of a "nonsense Latin" motto - literally it means "For a theme [or possibly "title"]; for you, for us", having no real meaning.

It looks like someone tried to find out what "them" was in latin (illius) and typed in "theme" by mistake - "lemma" - so perhaps the people designing the album cover got it wrong. Who knows! Any ideas? Dixontm (talk) 09:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)09:53, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Song Links/Name

Don't link to the songs unless there is something notable about it, ie it's a single. That Everyday Combat page for instance has no place. I've delinked it but not removed it. (as i'm not entirely sure how)

Also, leave the name as "lostprophets" unless consensus is reached on the main lostprophets page that it should be different. 81.106.195.9 16:29, 29 September 2006 (UTC)Cf

[edit] 4 A.M. Forever

Is the next single, the video is up on Ryan Smiths website http://www.ryansmithdirector.com/html/4am_vid.html. May I add that the song was written about Ian's ex-girlfriend Marissa Festa, if you notice the model in the video resembles her a lot.

It's about Fearne Cotton, not Marissa Festa. Although Festa is also Ian's ex she is dating Jade Puget of AFI.

[edit] Ilan Rubin

Didn't he do a couple of songs on this album? Can't remember where I read this. If so, we can work this into the article and remove the trivia entry. CfW 20:36, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alternative metal?

I think alternative metal should be removed as a genre, as it is not referred to as that anywhere, and although some songs have metal influences, none of them justifies the album being called 'metal'. Guyaka 17:06, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
