RWTW, WOF and Thunder would all have made better singles than IMD Re-Amped.

I agree that, among other great tunes on the IMD album, WOF and RWTW are better tracks quality-wise, but IMD was a message to the world, to bands and people who were trying to write The Prodigy off as dead meat, a clear message telling us that The Prodigy is still here, even after years of issues between bandmembers and an infinite feeling of obscurity caused by confusing albums and singles which made some people think The Prodigy, at least as a band, was dead.

In my opinion, IMD is indeed not the best track ever made when looking at it from a composition-wise perspective, but definitely a perfect opener for a long-awaited album that was supposed to clear the blur around the future of the band.
Somehow I can't help but thinking Liam's initial intension was to make it somewhat more "mainstream" than the other tracks, first of all to reach out to a much bigger audience besides true Prodigy fans to make sure everybody heard and understood their solid message and secondly, to prove that mainstream tracks are pure hypocrisy in most cases.

That's what I think of IMD as first single to be released from their new album and I'm sure that most of the fans will, fundamentally, think of IMD the same way as I do, suggesting IMD NEEDED to be there at that moment.

Agree. Better choice would be World's On Fire or Run With The Wolves (my two favourites tracks on the album) including Mescaline but it's to late to talk about that. I'm happy about that Mescaline was released. So Invaders is the fouth single or Run will be?

IMD original was released as a free download so was not a single.

IMD Re-Amped was released as an afterthought because people loved the live version and wanted to own a studio version + Mescaline as a b-side to shut all the fucking winging.

Clearly worked. :roll:

+1 this is one of these threads where people have mixed opinions, i'd rather have had omen be replaced aswell as warriors dance. i'm sure theres people who totally agree and people who totally disagree with me.

invaders must die was a good choice to be a single as it was something we had never heard before, fans would be complaining if worlds on fire or run or warriors dance to be the first single because alot of us had already heard these tracks live, liam wanted to give us something fresh and what better way to do that than give us a free download to the title track of the album ?

yes imd reamped is shit, it only works with omen reprise at the beginning, wtf was liam thinking.


BAM BAM BAM BAM BING BING BING BING BING BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP BLEEP

thats the beginning of the track, hardly seductive to anyones ears, liams had a stiffy the last few years for ableton beat repeat, n i for one fucking hate it (with the exception of the end of mescaline)

actually i think re-amped is so much better than the original,'cause for the beats and also 'cause is less boring and shorter.
