Have been really surprised by this album, think it's brilliant for the most part.
Also agree with some in thinking that this is possibly my favourite since MFTJG, and I wasn't expecting that at all. I think it's like has already been said, because there's such a different range of styles in the tracks. Haven't listened to it that much yet, but current faves are definitely Destroy, Roadblox, Rebel Radio and Medicine. Medicine and Destroy are my top 2, with Destroy being my current favourite. It just blows my mind how good that track is.
Also thought Liam had kind of lost it on recent albums, so am really glad that he's managed to return to a style I like so much with quite a lot of what's on here.

Some songs touch the soul with their melodies, something new in Prodigy for me. Lots of emotions and violence

I see some lack of love for Rhythm Bomb, I dunno it's working for me even though it's pure edm, if No good was done today it would sound like that probably maybe you'll like original one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jt7WTrtY48g

the original ain't my cup of tea, but I did replay Rhythm Bomb many times today, and yes, I FREAKIN LOVE IT
anyway, what I've wanted to say was
DRIVE ON STRAIGHT THROUGH THE ROADBLOX LET ME SEE LET ME SEE WHAT YOU'VE GOT DRIVE ON STRAIGHT THROUGHT THE ROADBLOX LET ME SEE LET ME SEE YOUR TIRES HOT
DAMN, THIS TRACK IS PURE ROAD FURY, would fit to the new Mad Max trailer :D
and I need to chill for a while, need some sleep after a whole day of tunes banging from my headphones

Love that emoticon review lol I think I agree totally with it. Glad many seem to really like the album. Seems very diverse which tracks people like most/least too.

Wow okay, I completely forgot about the listening parties and Annie Mac's whatever she was doing on Radio 1 as I've been decorating and building furniture all day, so I crashed out and then got this to listen to. So after 3 listens I'm super happy with this album. One of the best, love a load of them, really like some and only dislike a couple. The Day Is My Enemy was my favourite of the 4 downloads and is a great album opener. Nasty sounds a lot better and fitting with the album rather than how it did as a single... If that makes sense? As people are saying, Rebel Radio should have been a single, why hasn't it been? BANG BANG BANG firestarter beats! Vocals distorted a little too much for my liking though, don't really know whats being said, but hey, like it nonetheless. Ibiza, should've been longer and more ranty, was expecting more of a part from the sleaford mods guy, but its like an angry Parklife ha. Nice beats too. Destroy to me sounds so weird without Wiley as I overplayed that track maaaaaany times over the years. I kept hearing, "why, don't you, and me, DESTROY THE MELODY" in my head. Think the track wouldve worked with that line in a few times still. Chuffed its on the album too? Great stuff. Still think Wild Frontier is a load of bollocks but I can see it's place on the album, I know a lot of people like it, but I'm not one of them. This isn't the Prodigy to me. Rok-Weiler is the same as it was live. Just toned down a bit. Was do use to it with the crowd around me and live drums and guitar, so feels a tad empty to me, but still works well. Glad it's on there! Beyond the Deathray gave me chills, hairs on my arms standing to attention. I felt like I was floating in space , confused between a chilled out feeling and an uncertain nervousness. Great cinematic piece. Along with Wild Frontier, Rhythm Bomb is a mistake. Shouldn't be on here. Sounds like Flux had too much input, the bleached hair quiffed prick. Ha actually he's alright live, and I like a few of his tracks but him and Liam dont mix well I think. Roadblox is just Spitfast with a few added bits so doesn't sound too new to me. Feels a bit repetitve but I enjoyed it, may be one I skip with time. Get Your Fight On. Wow. Just wow. I love take me to the hospital and this is that part 2. Love that bass and cowbell, such an awesome surprise. I hated the rocky live original version and was hoping for a change so I'm chuffed with it. Gonna make tmtth and this into one long track when I get them on my computer. My favourite on the album I think Medicine's a goodun, the vocals kinda remind me of that in some Chase and Status tracks, and the beats hard hitting with that snake charmy sound. Invisible Sun is like a wild west showdown in space. The calm before the storm that is... Wall of Death. Awesome album closer, a close second to Claustrophic sting. Just so loud and angry and wakes you back up with a kick in the balls after Invisible Sun's calming sound sends you off to sleep like it's 5am or ssomething and you just want your bed. Rise of the Eagles. Nice little bonus. Didn't really know what to expect with this, but I like it more than Fuel My Fire in the cover war. Not as good as the Nightboat to Cairo cover Time for listen number 4 now! Goodnight!

Hahaha, just found this in the youtube comments section to Ibiza : Quote: What the fuck is this, sounds like some "MC" on a council estate It's funny, but also kind of sad that some people haven't heard the rest of the album yet, and are starting to get worried. I think we can safely assume a lot of them will be more than happy fairly soon.

Thanks again to the person who sent me this so that I had it when I woke up, it felt like a good morning kiss, you know who you are.
Ok, so my personal review, I don't give grades because although I'm oldschool, I'm way too old for school.
TDIME : Brutal, inventive, original and fresh, perfect opener
Nasty : Good at first but sub-par with the rest, the people selecting the singles must be slapped (that includes you Liam)
Rebel Radio : The first real punches, five years ahead of their time
Ibiza : Wasn't expecting much, but I love it, Sleaford Mods are a joke, but this is a damn good one, love the energy and that chorus just kills
Destroy : A prime example why we shouldn't beg for Liam's demos (yeah right), was undercooked now it's raw, like it should be
Wild Frontier : Great album track, made for a lovely video, but a second reason to slap someone hard at the marketting department (yes Liam, that's you again)
Rok-Weiler : The only track that survived those dreaded jetfighter era miniature demos, a personal favorite of mine now, that creepy voice during the bridges... what the fuck is that!? It's fantastic, except that Keith's chorus isn't loud enough
BTDR : Someone said it should have been the title music for Interstellar : yes
Rhythm Bomb : Love that oldschool high pitch voice sample, oldschool mixed with new sounds, the kids better love this, it's an interesting change of pace
Roadblox : Expected something more punk-ish, got a proper melodic Spitfast, can't complain besides the fact that the chorus is a bit weak and not loud enough (again!)
GYFO : TMTTH part two, for real, which is also my favorite track from IMD, should have been called GYFO (TMTTH Part II)
Medicine : Sick beats, oh yeah, nothing to add
Invisible Sun : Sounds like the real album closer, ok, but not much more for me, good filler
WoD : Thought you were done getting punched? Here get punched again, and don't get up
ROTE : Miles better than Forgotten Beats
My personal rating : If you don't like this album, you don't like The Prodigy. Sucks for you.
