Prodigy....

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I felt like the other stuff was just a shite, I'm a massive fan of Prodigy but this just sounds so tired and dated, absolute by numbers Howlett.

[ThomThomDrum]

My take on it all is that it sounds very childish to me. It smacks of laziness from LH. I wonder if he fluked his genius in the 90s or he just couldnt be fucked challenging himself artistically anymore.

"Death of the Prodigy Dancer......................"

[ThomThomDrum]

Rise of the Prodigy Chancer?

[The Nal]

Its a shitter Fuel My Fire.

Which is saying something.

[Wooderson]

Deathray is fantastic.

[The Nal]

Full album here. Adjust to 1.25 speed in the settings wheel.

Its clearly better than that mess Outnumbered. Vocals on "Rhythm Bomb" couldnt be more 1992 if they tried. Whats the sample?

why? Has it been shifted down to circumvent the copyright?

Yeah. Another one posted just before got removed.

[Wooderson]

Few Russians are going to lose their SHIT to "Get Your Fight On" over the next 18 months. A weapons grade banger.

[Wooderson]

2nd half of the album is his best in fucking years.

[Wooderson]

Dont waste yer time listening on a laptop btw lads. Listen to the stream or burn it to a CD and lob it in the stereo FFS.

I think it should really be adjusted to 1.5 by the sounds of it...........

Sorry yep you're right, typo.

That Ibiza "tune" is utterly utterly shit! Sounds like the local pirate radio station host shouting over his favorite dance track.

I've not minded most of the new stuff stuff so far, but jesus christ that one is awful!

[ThomThomDrum]

The short, repetitive, childish lyrics of some of the tunes really irks me. I cringe when I hear them.

There are some nuggets on the new album. Rebel Radio is OK, and Destroy is not too bad. Trying to think of a highlight may be a toss up between TDIME or Invisible Sun thus far, but have not listened to it enough.

One other thing that annoys me is that some of the tunes show a seemingly very limited sound pallet from Howlett. I continuously find myself asking "what Prodigy tune is his ripping off here"..............

Its not a total car crash, but I reckon this album will get limited play and the finger will be itching a fair bit to hit the skip button on the rare occasion I do play it.............

I'm really liking the album, it's so obviously them and no change in any direction but it was never going to be was it I suppose

Yeah, I like it too.Quite happy to be in minority.

Got tickets to see them in May, going to Glastonbury, Download and Reading so hoping I'll catch them in at least one of them as well.(obviously Download is unlikely)

I'm pleasantly surprised by it too.

[WS_Jack_III]

listening to it now, Destroy is good!

edit: having said that, Smack my bitch up is in there and those bells sound familiar.

The released tunes are the weakest. Loving 'Destroy', 'Rhythm Bomb' and 'Roadblox'. There's a definite nod to Experience in there. Best album since Fat of the Land.

Had my first listen this morning and am already back for my second. It's grabbed me already and liked all of it first time bar Invisible Sun. This may be because I've never really bothered with a Prodge album since Jilted.

(Bit annoyed now as it being surprisingly good has prevented me from being able to refer to it as Music for the Jaded Generation…)

That's amazing because there is some absolute dross on that album.

Ibiza being one of the worst tunes I have ever heard, ever.

There are a few that suggest Howlett still should have something to offer, but in the main it drifts between average and pointless gibberish
