Release and reception

"Burn Burn" was released in the winter of 2003 and became one of the most successful songs from Start Something in Europe and Australia. "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 being "Shinobi vs. Dragon Ninja." "Burn Burn" is the band’s only single to chart in Germany.

Dan Martin of NME described the song as "It’s still metal, but wonder at how the single 'Burn Burn' gleams more with the spirit of glam than downtuned riff rock."[3] 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."[4]
