Release and reception

"Burn Burn" was released in the winter of 2003 and became one of the most successful songs from Start Something on the rock charts. "Burn Burn" charted at 81 on the German Single Chart and on 48 on the Australian Singles Chart. "Last Train Home" is their second single to ever chart in the US — the first one is "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja." "Burn Burn" is their only single to ever chart in Germany.

Dan Martin of NME said "It’s still metal, but wonder at how the single 'Burn Burn' gleams more with the spirit of glam than downtuned riff rock."[2] Kirk Miller of Rolling Stone said "Standouts such as 'Last Train Home' and 'Burn Burn' hint at something awesome. In the meantime, it's a kick-ass tribute."[3]

The track "Lucky You" has had over 250,000 plays on Last.FM and is one of the band's most popular tracks to have not appeared on a studio album.[4]

gollark: Why?
gollark: Or have a more general solution like transferring minds between bodies so you can just make a new one as needed.
gollark: Not with current technology.
gollark: Or just reconstruct basically all the body from a good template periodically.
gollark: Well, you could presumably fix enough of the problems that people can live an extra 100 years, and deal with whatever issues crop up in the meantime over that time.
