AONO, well, thats a whole different story. On that album everything sounded like it was either too much or too little because he used to be better at incorporating collabs into tracks, if you catch my drift.

that's pretty well put... it's one thing to have a collaboration but the last album sounded too much like someone elses than a Prodigy record.

I mean with MFJG it wasn't really a collab album.. you had 1 track with PWEI.. Neil helping produce the album isn't even worth a mention as every album in Prodigy history has had another producer helping Liam produce it.

FOTL had a bit more collabs but the album itself was Prodigy. You wouldn't think of how much it sounds like two people coming together, it was brilliant.

AONO the collabs were too obvious and each track was set to the collaborators style in some sense.. Lewis on electro punk tracks, Twista on a electro hip-hop track, the other Liam on a rock vibed track.. it felt less like Prodigy and more like come Various artists cd with electro as the main theme.

Did someone actually became hardcore prodigy fan after hearing AONO ?
(if they dint heard prodigy ever before i mean)

and two covers: Fuel My Fire and Serial Thrilla.

It's neither a cover or a reinterpretation like someone else suggested.

It just samples a bit of the guitar riff. The songs are completely different.

I usually just read the news here, but this thread actually made me create an account, just so that I could write this.

I'm kind of surprised of some of your views of The Prodigy here. I understand how the old Prodigy stuff is popular and how most of you would like Liam to return to his former sound, but at the same time, I really don't get that way of thinking. Liam himself said, before the release of AONO, that he didn't want to make TFOTL 2, as that would be boring and redundant, even though he knew that a sequel to that album would be a much larger success. Pushing Liam to step backwards now feels like the worst thing to do. I would hate to see him fall back on something he knows is secure, not to mention that I want to hear something new in 2008, not something that could have, or should have, been released in the late -90's.

So basically, if you want to listen to stuff that sounds like his old stuff, just get every b-side and remix from those days as you can. They won't stop playing the old hits live, those tracks aren't going anywhere.
