Each prodigy album sounds different but I fear this one will be ImD part 2.

Disappointing, sounds like leftovers of IMD. Terrible synth...
Faith destroyed

tempo, melody, and the underlying beat. And the last quarter second of the clip you can hear the guitar stab coming in..

Less digital and more old school sampling beefy big beats.
If Liam can deliver that, I'm in!


In FOTL you knew that in every song after a few seconds there would be a phat big beat blowing you away. I still remember the moments i first heard Diesel Power and Narayan. Tired of today's dance scene. Most songs have weak beats and are unimaginative. Like you were used to boil and drink fresh milk from a cow and then someone brought you 0% milk.

* I dont remember who wrote it but he was right. IMD has a too white noisy sound.I prefer the defined sound of the earlier albums.


Absolutely agreed on the beats portion and it was most likely me complaining about the white noise beats on IMD. I really liked the vibe, but I hated the overall sound of the record. Too much of everything, no defined, precise drum hits, just a wishy washy mix of things that became a constant square. It was quantity over quality, uncontrolled chaos over the finely tuned mayhem of FOTL. I know I'm constantly dissing everything post FOTL, but come on, it's not like the difference in the quality department regarding the beats ain't hearable. Diesel Power is the perfect example of PHAT (I used it too) beats / bass amalgamation. Both are fine tuned to each other. Excellent mixing and production work. To this day I'm not sure who actually did that. Liam? Or Neill? My guess is Liam, but well, then he must have gotten immensely lazy or must have forgotten how to make a good or better - a PHAT sounding beat.
Fat Of The Land didn't get its title for nothing.

It was a precise, funky, phat and even somewhat dynamic record, and IMD is hectic, all over the place and compressed to shit, leaving us with this wall of white noise.

I want bassdrums like in Funky Shit, beats like in Diesel Power. But I guess, since Liam doesn't sample anymore, there's just preset drums now, and no beat crafting, just beat composition.

Still, the new stuff sounds much better than AONO / IMD-era material.


You make some good points here BUT! Let's not forget that after Fat of the Land Liam took a big break and didn't feel like making another album. When they did get back together to make another album they were still on TFOTL formula and thus Baby's Got A Temper didn't make the cut (I still love that song). After that Neil showed Liam how to create music on a laptop with Reason which many other artists did. So the technology on how dance and electronic music was created thusly changed by many electronic artists (except aphex twin as an example). So all that cut an paste start stop was how music was being produced through a laptop not all the expensive decks and mixers Liam used to make TFOTL. Liam has said it used to take him hours to create 1 beat like that! It's no wonder why he won't go back to that I don't blame him! IMD has a look to the past with some of Liams old equipment mixed with today's technology and I think it was awesome! And yes he does still sample must I remind you of the Kim Deel sample used in Worlds on Fire?! I agree that FOTL is very unique in its overall sound but Liam is still King of the Beats in my book! Old equipment or new he can still destroy a crowd with a mayhem of beats and sounds anywhere!!

Sounds a bit like a song from the IMD era but still the melody is nice. Makes you feel something epic will follow. I like AONO over IMD because i think there is nothing to IMD close to Spitfire (the single version) and i love the beats and melody on Girls. IMD is overall a better album.
I would not mind to get IMD part 2 if we get 2 singles with songs as good as Spitfire.

Exactly ;) Only 6 seconds but sounds shitty. Bridge from Rockweiler and now this... very similar.

From this vid we got Hemingway quote, motors on, but what is written on the paper with the duck tape beside it. The one just before motors on.
