In June 2012 the album was entered into Rock Sound magazine's Hall of Fame with features on how the band look back on the album and how it has influenced others. Rock Sound said that the album made the band into ""one of our greatest rock commodities"" and called it a ""defining record for the UK rock scene as a whole"". Lee Gaze stated ""Start Something is the greatest hits of what Lostprophets do"". Aled Phillips of Kids in Glass Houses said ""it was a turning point for a lot of bands"" but also that ""everyone's jeans got tighter and started wearing Nike Dunks - it was a cultural shift. With them it was never just about the music, everybody got swept up in the whole aesthetic as well"". Five British rock records - "All Our Kings Are Dead", "We Are the Dynamite", "World Record", "Free" and "Hold Me Down" - were all cited as being heavily influenced by Start Something.
