I liked the first two Prodigy albums (Experience and Music For The Jilted Generation). Since then they have only made the odd tune that I like.

It is quite ravey in places, particularly Take Me To The Hospital and World's on Fire. Don't know if I'd class it as a full-on return to the rave sound. Warrior's Dance reminds me of Rozalla.

I think it's a great album. If Yes is as good a PSB album as this is a Prodigy album I'll be a happy camper.

Warriors Dance features a sample of Take Me Away by True Faith, released around the same time as the Rozalla tracks.

WHOA!

What I had heard of the new album so far were three songs: The two singles 'Invaders must die' and 'Omen' (both of which I hate) and a poor quality version of 'Stand up'.

Now that I've heard the rest of the album, and in PROPER quality, I am very very VERY pleasantly surprised!
The old-school samples literally had me SQUEEEING and wow wow wow was this so NOT what I expected! GREAT to hear Liam taking the nostalgic route

I do believe I may have another 'battle of the bands' dilemma á la 1993/94 between The Pets and The Prods.

Reached Number 1 in the album charts, and has apparently already sold 100,000 copies. I'm surprised, I thought their time might have been up.

Prodigy, like gangsta rap, will always appeal to white suburban teenagers.

Gawd bless em.

incidentally, I'm sure Liam "hey wont it be cool if I include a Herman Goering quote about how ace guns are in the booklet, now send in Crispin Mills to do the vocals on that track please" Howlett is upset that PSB got the Triumph des Willens gig
