    Right, hmmm.

    Well, firstly, I think the album is ok. It`s good Prodigy. Not GREAT, but good.

    The Prodigiy were never ahead of the curve, they represented a very marketable and commercial sound of the uk underground rave scene at the time.
    They took the sounds being played at raves across the country, the sounds of junkie hardcore, early jungle, rave and hardcore, and put a spin on the sounds that fitted mass appeal.
    They were always a good credible commercial version of the breaky side of the uk underground, and they made big room, in your face, everybody party like phuck tunes,which did the job so well, they blew up to epic proportions.

    What they have done with this album is just that, made some big party like phuck tunes, that`ll work well outside of niche sub genres of dance music.

    What did you expect from Liam? Some deep future sound blending dixiland jazz with bleep and tech step?

    This is the man that made charlie says remember.

    This is what it is, if you were expecting anything more than you are crazy.

    However, the timing of tis might be very good.
    Recessions are good for the rave scene, people get depressed and need to release the pressure, and a damn good rave is the best thing for that.
    So maybe this just might be one of the catalysts for the rebirth of a rave scene.

    I agree whole heartedly, especially about the rebirth of the rave scene (not that it ever went away really).

    I always saw them as filling the void between dance and rock, when Jilted came out anyway. They then appealed to two audiences instead of just one, which obviously sparked a lot of controversy.

    Personally i think this album portrays the Prodigy for what they are, Electronic Punks, quite like it really, it's got Punk, reggae, old skool, phat ass grooves (and more) all mixed up into one electronic meltdown.

    Worth a listen for sure.
