It's a killer album - it does have some chafe like RB and Ibiza, and a number of 'always skips' like Nasty, Wild Frontier and Invisible Sun which aren't bad by any means but just not brilliant, but the great majority of tracks are just epic and massive and every bit as good as classics from the past.
Enemy itself is just pure 100% anger which has to be listened loud, while Destroy is absolute quintessential classic Prodigy brought into 2015. Medicine, Roadblox, Wall of Death, Rok-Weiler and Rebel Radio are all absolutely awesome in different ways, but incredibly the one track I've not mentioned is probably the best on the album, and might have a case for being the best track they've ever done: Beyond the Deathray. It is just absolutely mind-blowing. Hairs on end every time I hear it.
The one change I would definitely have made would have been to ditch both Ibiza and RB (turds) and replace with AWOL which is just superb.
But overall - it's as good as anything they've ever done, and it's clearly an album for Prodigy fans, not designed to find new ones. Funny, I disagree with all almost all of your track choices! Shows how versatile of an album it really is, with a lot to love whoever you may be. Haha, nothing is more subjective than art! In whatever form it takes.

Rhythm Bomb. it doesn't make sense. it should be fit for Dj's with 130bpm speed. still i don't see it working on a dance floor. i also love Wild Frontier, which isn't very popular around here i guess. what else.. not huge fan of medicine, still, it has character, i like it because of that. all other tracks are in equal roation. and some weeks i don't listen album at all. now looking forward to seeing them live.

So you didn't see TDIME live... prepare to be blown away, it kills more than any of the other new tracks. You are actually right about the tempo, but the live version is slightly faster and works much better that way.

still think it's the worst prodigy album. the last true creative output was AONO which was totally ahead of the time. TDIME is just the representation of EDM and all it stands for. A commercial album that completely lacks any innovation. Sounds like something a fanboy would try to reconstruct of what a prodigy song should be like. either way i have only one tune i listen to, and even that is repetitive as fuk. i honestly can't believe how people can't hear that the whole lp just sounds cheap.

I've been on this site since 2002 and went through every release since BGAT till today and honestly out of the 3 albums we got TDIME had the best feedback from true hardcore fans on this forum and the media etc It is definitely the best prodigy release since TFOTL. I respect your opinion but like I said, hardcore prodigy fans like you and me find it better than aono and imd. Sure , some of the ideas don't sound too 'ffresh' and it sounds like the prodigy is parodying itself but this is the sound of the prodigy lol
