This review is so bad I needed to give its own topic.

He wrote this after watching them live (Brixton Academy)

The Prodigy are ostensibly a dance music act – indeed one of the best-selling dance music acts ever – yet their look, sound and philosophy are mired in rock’s most banal clichés. In their mind’s eye the trio are punk outlaws cranking up the volume to lethal levels. In reality they’ve become fast, loud but vacuous: a dead-end rather than the intended apocalypse.

The ProdigyTheir forthcoming album Invaders Must Die is the first to feature all three original band members since 1997’s career peak The Fat of the Land. Judging by the tracks debuted at Brixton Academy, it aspires to recapture the aggressive energy that once made them a genuinely fearsome force, an Essex badlands hybrid of rave music, gangsta rap and hardcore techno.

Set opener “World’s on Fire” matched solar-plexus-pummelling beats with nihilistic slogans, gleefully chanted by singer-dancers Keith “Maxim” Palmer and Keith Flint (pictured). Another new song, bearing the gonzo title “Take Me to the Hospital”, was introduced by the boast “You don’t get harder than this”, which sounded suspiciously like the strapline to a Guy Ritchie movie.

The ensuing barrage – dementedly sped-up vocals, unhinged synth riffs, battering percussion – was as good as its word. Yet an air of fallibility underlay the hardness, as if the band’s musical mastermind Liam Howlett were desperately ransacking the armoury in a bid to make The Prodigy relevant again.

It didn’t work. Just as Flint, in a pared-down blonde Mohican and white vest, resembled an old punk (Billy Idol, to be precise), so too The Prodigy’s urge to shock has grown dated. Past hits “Breathe” and “Firestarter” were pantomime turns, fondly received by the audience but lacking any original menace.

Bad lyrics (“The writing’s on the wall/It won’t go away”) emphasised the band’s lack of substance, while the sonic assault failed to mask the fading of Howlett’s once masterly way of building tension in a song. For all their sound and fury, The Prodigy have lost their teeth.

shittttttttttttttttttttttt....YO LIAM YOU HEARD THAT!!!!

Fuck 'em he doesnt make sense at all, just a hater.

Probably a Coldplay fan lol!

2 b honest, i dont think they ever had the ''teeth'' he speaks of.. the trouble with a band with so much range, every album is different, not always about being more punk than anyone else. there will be another album, im sure this is the kind of shit that fires liam up even moreso. so if u ask me, bring on the negative reviews, theyll still have a number 1 album and possibly singles.

its sad man, after all they done for us, they just decided to trash them like this, selfish basterds

this is what i tough, theres another album coming for sure, and this time it will be the last one.

Liam will make music forever...

this is shitt, stupid fckn topic

I know it hurts man

not the end of prodigy, the end of this cunt moaning !

i'd not go out and review Britney Spears promotional album or what not and say its an absolute fucking mess, i'd just not review it because its not my taste at all.

oh well we'll always have haters as long as we have the fan boys and girls

Fuck man.. Who is this guy. Invader. Lets kill motherfucker...

well, if i was at death metal gig or something, i'd wrote the same or worse. that guy probably is simply not into prodigy or even electronic music at all.

somebody just wanted to have a bad review for their own reasons. so it seems they've paid right guy to made it

i'd really be more worried if haters didnt appear its a good sign

and it is simply not worth my further attenion.

he sounds like an old ass wanker

Lock this shit

Liam has said many times that this kinda shit pisses him of. And he also have said that he goes into the studio to make bad-ass music when he's pissed of.
