Too many messages, no time to read everything. This is the general feeling that I had when reading. But if you say so, I believe you. Sorry for the drama :(


No reason to say sorry...you are cool 8-) its Stuie's fault!

He cant recover from the fact that Hyperspeed guessed the album title first.

:lol:


Stuie doesn't give two fucks about this bullshit your talking about. Show me proof that Hyperspeed got the album title right. He never did.


I'm joking.Stuie was the 1st here to contact Hyper & all he got was a broken link.


pretty sure gava guessed it back in 2012

I'm laughing at people attempting to use YouTube as a gauge for anything. Going by viewcount it's barely half as popular as an average Pewdiepie video :P

I am getting the feeling that nasty wasnt meant to be for us, the fanboys and girls, but as a bait for the unknowing masses, as a gentle entry into the dirt that will be the day is my enemy... god i hope

IMD seemed to have brought more people. I have seen alot of gaming websites etc bring this track up. If it had been shown off more it would become really popular i guess.

IDK about this track, will it bring people in? This is a track that a Prodigy fan have to listen to five times before getting it. People that doesnt like Prodigy might just throw it away after ten seconds of listening.

Pity they changed and scrapped AWOL, the melodic version could have been used to bring more people in. Its melodic, catchy tune and catchy lyrics (i have no clue what it says but its catchy), like Firestarter.

Who is the one who makes these ideas? Liam himself? Or is he forced to change tracks like he did in AONO making good demo tracks into shit tracks?

Ive been reading all the comments on here from afar.. it brings me right back to the neko days and even further back to the alt.music.the-prodigy days.

I thought id try give a balanced view of the prodigy's new single "nasty"

First of all I've huge respect for liam howlett and his achievements, the guy is an unstoppable force really and was a huge inspiration for me growing up, Ive been lucky enough to meet him.. and even argue with him online (which he laughed about when we talked) .. trust me liam is like any other bloke really, and he's as sensitive to criticism from fans as any other producer would be.

A young liam howlett's mantra was "if you like it buy it, if you don't..then don't" that kind of resilient two fingers kid of washed away over the years..less assured of himself, especially post FOTL where liam kind of lost himself. The release of BGAT was liam's first blot on his copy book.. something he later confessed was shit, but when you take into account the phenomenal run of albums and singles that came before that.. the back catalogue is remarkably impressive.

In our life time, its rare we see our favourite bands hit their full potential. A magical X meets Y intersection. Liam had that when he created MFTJG, it was his sergeant pepper, Like goldie's timeless or dj shadows endtroducing but MFTGJ is the daddy of them all.. make no mistake.. that album is a seminal moment for electronic music.

So this is a tribute to the man, someone who i would call.. A GENIUS.

Now for nasty.. its probably a testament to liam that since 97 prodigy fans are still having the same arguments about the band now as they where then. Im 36 now and I’ve seen the prodigy shape shift and go through every possible phase possible. I can remember when FOTL was released most of the old fans from the jilted/experience era wasn’t really into fotl.. actually they thought it was shit..but heres the thing, they where old fans not really willing to get on board with this slightly dumber stadium sound.

Now i find myself in the same situation as these old fans.. I’m just not feeling “nasty” at all, i think its a dumbed down sound, I also think the reason why is because I’ve outgrown the band, I hear none of the production values i used to love about liams music, the funk, the finesse, the intelligent and playful arrangements. His music used to be genuinely hard as nails.. nasty sounds disappointingly weak, especially beats wise.. yes its mixed and EQ’d well.. as you’d expect from pumping money into mastering it.. but it kind of reminds of a bodybuilder that skips leg day..as for anyone that uses “this will kick live”.. thats usually the default response from a prodigy fan who knows.. this is shit.. I heard exactly the same about BGAT .. utterly poo, so save your “live” talk..

To me, Liam was always an amazing ideas guy, his vision for music was set him apart from the rest
hopefully with the new album, Nasty won’t be a taster f whats to come.. as i feel..It will be their last album.

Ironically, Nasty is liams most cynical record, not only lacking a real british sound, having a british sound was something he’s always been proud to boast about. (nasty is borderline dumbed down US Festival EDM)

its obviously and painfully taking the “if its not broke don’t fix it” appraoch.. it trys so hard to be “Omen” its slightly embarrassing.. but hey.. Omen a top 5 hit last time, well do the same this time. ££££££££.

what disappoints me most about the single is, not hearing any of liams trademarks..its looped up,
no care or detail in the beats and actually sounds like ableton lego blocks music. It just aint got the funk. The break is dull and boring, The synths could have been rejected from a pendulum track..

Here is the sunderland article taking the P*ss but is accurate

Im putting nasty alongside BGAT as one of their worst singles

Yah pretty much that.

Despite that i am still a sucker for hard beats and catchy melody so in a weird way I cannot resist liking it.

Im suprised myself
