    Not happy with this one.. it sounds very stale. still much better than most modern music. No tourists is much better.

      I'm getting old this album is too hard and fast.

        As a fan of the Prodigy's music since their early material from 1991, I've found that since "Always Outnumbered…" my fandom has been a relationship of diminishing returns. To echo previous reviewers, "Experience" is a classic of its time, "Jilted…" and "Fat of the Land" are phenomenal bodies of work. Since that classic opening trilogy there has probably been one good album's worth of material spread across four so-so releases. While the tracks may work as part of a colossal live stage show, they aren't nearly as satisfying as a home listening experience. There are glimpses at what might have been: "The Day Is My Enemy" has the mighty "Destroy" buried in the track list. With super-tight production, heavy weight stabs, and an almighty drum break, "Destroy" is a throwback to a bygone era of rave, as well as a cracking take on modern uptempo breaks. It's the only moment of genius in an otherwise forgettable affair, but a track i come back to again and again. The album barely rates 2 stars, but "Destroy" is a gem that shouldn't be overlooked.

          The next Prodigy album will be an interpretation of the Neil Young album "TRANS"- it will be titled "Fat of our Bellies (babyboom RMX)" .

            Used to be a big fan of the Prodigy but not any more. The Omen & Warriors dance were good tracks but the rest of the stuff they produce has been disappointing. Nothing really worth talking about after the first few album's. Music For The Jilted Generation & Fat Of The Land are The Prodigy's best two albums Experience I really enjoyed back in the early 90's but I have not listened to that album in a very long time.

              most of prodigy's new tracks it's like a drill in ur head. permanent brain damage caused by drugs. there's no balance like the '90s. look on the titles of the tracks - they don't have a positive message. it is like - I have fangs and claws. who's the bad man;)?

                If Fat of the Land was an application of the sweet science of boxing, this is six cops beating a minority in an alley. Just bludgeoning breakbeat after head crushing beat while his cohorts scream words of encouragement to f*ck the poor guy up further. Halfway through I'm reaching for the Excedrin. What happened to the innovation? This isn't an album to enjoy, it's an exercise on how to start a riot. The Day isn't my enemy...you are.

                  I think the proof is in the pudding. We are all harking back to the first three albums, they are classics in their own right and are all very much of their time. Prodigy was the standard bearer for 100mph dance/pop music. their live shows were always fabulous. The albums are indeed a little dated but still sound good and definitely have their moments.
                  But times change and the sounds no longer have the same impact. in 10 - 15 years his later efforts will not be ed in the same vein. that in itself speaks volumes as to the importance of the Prodigy post 1997.

                  If Liam Howlett wanted to cause a stir he should make a dirtchamber sessions Vol 2.
                  I rest my case

                    Slightly better as an album than Invaders Must Die in my opinion. It's still nothing like their first 3 albums and I doubt anything can ever be. Like a lot of people have pointed out, a lot of it feels recycled and mashups of their previous stuff. But at least it's Prodigy and sounds like Prodigy. And overall I think it's a very strong effort.
