The new album must get dirtier and more dubstep influenced. Rave doesn't sound sinister enough for the current human mood.....

Dubstep evolves as anything else and fast these days really. I don't think everyone follows the new breeds of it :)

Yeah, this was an intelligent answer, was it? :)

You want another album by Liam with Experience and go back to the 90's ravey sounds? I think IMD was enough for this? :) Prodigy has always been about evolving and actually following various influences from different styles of music. Why should this stop now?

Then why has he moved onto this? :wink:
Sounds a bit dib-steppy to me.

Code:
Also just did a rework of my boys @south_central tune 'the day i die ' not so much a remix, more of a reshake and dub! LH

Existing scenes change because of artists innovations. Nothing is static. And judging dubstep because you already think "i am tired of it" is a bit following with the stream of negativity. It's there and you can't take it away - so live with it, and it will also mutate into something new. As everything else.

A lot of Liams "half-binned" work through the whole last decade would definitely work better, far better today with the crowds, fans and even create new fans - if he manages to re-work it in an appropriate, fresher way (his own, of course).

But I guess you become afraid of risks at his age, I can understand that.

Pleasing youngsters with dubstep-flirts is "seen through" by us old-school fans really. My personal opinion is that it is time to show some balls and really show what Prodigy is capable to in a totally own way, not adjusted to future crowds. Creating their own again, as they did back in 95 :)

I understand don't expect me to just wanting dubstep all over the place on the album, but one track or so would be alright.

I understand people who think it's shit.

You wouldn't be the first to say I got a bad taste for music in my life :)
That includes The Prodigy for most of them.

But you're not one of them :)

Whatever Liam writes it'll be fucking epic , as ALWAYS.

I believe in people :). Some, at least. That they are capable of waking up and adjust as everybody else. If 50 years old use Facebook nowadays, what's the problem with a 40 years old taking a new path and adjust to ever changing environment in _his own_ way without compromising too much in search for "something new"?

IMD was a safe bet really, a banker, a banger, it was certain to sell loads and fair play. It was an amalgamation of all of their previous efforts, one that most people enjoyed here from what I can gather and gained some new fans along the way.

The Prodigy belong to no scene, never has and I'm sure never will, they define themselves through the tunes they create! Unfortunately though, you could argue there has been no truly groundbreaking shit since FOTL and majestic tunes such as SMBU that defined that era of music. It was the same with MFTJG and experience with tunes like Charly, weather Experience, B&E, voodoo people.... People will argue what tunes were more important than others no doubt, but that's irrelevant! What's important was that they will always be remembered as albums that defined the period they were released in.

Could you say the same for AONO or IMD? Naa! In a way I would like to see Liam produce something like AONO again, something that was very different from anything he had done before. Perhaps with better execution mind you, but you get the point.

Like ProdigalOne says though, they're in their 40's now. Generally it's the young generation that are producing revolutionary, groundbreaking music sure. But I guess that point is kind of redundant with the Prodigy, since they can tailor their sound to what ever they want through electronic equipment.

But maybe they've given us all they can in terms of innovation, who knows. maybe Liam's insecurities will lead to no new album at all. But they've got a solid album behind them and they need to release something soon whilst they're still in their creative zones, still in the public eye and most importantly; can still perform the fucker live..

Back in 2002 they already were talking about how they do not care about innovation 'as long as it is rocking'. Keith started that and Liam soon began saying the same stuff in 2004 with 'our tunes are just a quick slap in the face, nothing made to last'.

Point is they may have innovated but they just wanted to play what rocks for them...
