The prodigy - Invaders must die

What ya think of the album? I head the album recently, and half the album is great, but the other half is not so great. I did'nt get that old-school feeling with this album, only with 2 songs or so. The album has gotten an electro feel to it i think, he needed to work more with some old school analog devices, and be more influenced by the 90's instead of 2007-2008 pop sounds or even todays dnb like the wobble that you hear in some new tracks of the prodigy. So Liams attempt to get back to the roots, did not work succesfully.
However this is still a prodigy album, and kicks other albums asses.

hmm i've not heard it yet, i'm a little sceptical though, as I wasnt a massive fan of 'always outnumbered..' although there were some good tracks. I'll give it a listen sometime soon!

Yeah, me too. Smile

Except for Spitfire, the album was quite bad (by my opinion).

what gear did he use for this one? I hope it's some vintage stuff.

When the last album came out it was almost like some marketing promo for propellerheads and korg...... Roll Eyes

not this time mate, just the few seconds when the beats and bass drop on the opening track "invaders must die" show whats it about - sheer power

not their classicals stuff though, most of it is sub 140 bpm, breakbeats with I think one fast number

I for one like it, the tracks may sound cheesy but its that exact cheese Liam himself invented, and for that you must give credit. pendulum copied it and now it gets pissed on with this new shit, its more power vs less cheese when you compare the two bands

yeh there are a few things sounding interesting and fresh but its mostly commercialized sound and that will put people off for sure

sure man. its gonna be a busy week but Im sure Ill get on aim soon

back on topic - IMO prodigy is by far the better band IF you could compare them which I think is not really possible, as prodigy were always much more oriented towards experimentation whilst the other band invented a formula and started copy paste selling it

I used to be a massive prodigy fan when I was younger and I mean massive.... but now I find it hard to listen to most of the stuff on Experience, Jilted and Fat of the Land. I don't know if it's just that i've listened to it all too much but im just not that crazy about it anymore. Confused

I'm sure at a club on a big system it would tickle me but at home....no Frown

yeah it sounds a bit bland listening to it at home. which I cant say for their pre-fat of the land albums but then again that was a different time and age?

anyway, its all about live performance imo. anyone been at exit festival 2007? yeah I guess not since its in Serbia Big Grin

prodigy opened the fest, 100.000 people, and not one standing still, it was utter chaos

oh the memories Crying

edited for spelling

edit2:

Liam says its probably his best gig ever

I saw The Prodigy in Manchester a few years ago with the Foo Fighters. It was a really great gig. Not the best I've ever been to but still really good.

I saw them at Reading festival 2002 and yeah it was massive and I felt like I was being crushed by by the amount of people cramming to get as close as possible but I felt the performance was just somewhat lacklustre. It was during the 'baby's got a temper' period (liams self confessed worse single) and the set consisted of all fat of the land songs, poison, the new single, and a madness cover if i remember right. I recall being disappointed there weren't more jilted tracks or anything from experience.

Don't take me wrong... i was breed on Prodigy stuff.And yes - I was excited when i heard about new album coming.AND yes... i heard "Warriors dance" before they release the album and I was mooore excited that they coming back to their oldskool style, jungle breaks & basses and some fucked up synths allover...God is my witness how wrong I was.... I like maybe 2-3 tunes from this album ,rest is crap in my opinion.Very disapointed Knownothing
