No dubstep sound at all in it. It's a bit house-y, with rocky parts. Surprising track for both Liam and Flux Pavilion.

Well i don't like much Ibiza and Rhythm bomb...As for Medicine as a Greek person i bet that the sample is Greek traditional music.

Someone on Facebook recognized it instantly as some Bulgarian sample.

It can't really be described into words... but it has more of a flow to it than I expected it to. When I saw Flux I just assumed it'd be a dubstep track with prodigy vibes but it's the other way around.

It feels more like a Prodigy track with Flux vibes? It starts off with a female singing about needing rhythm and it sounds all dancey then it transitions into rock for a bit and then it just goes fucking mental.

Gah i'm shit when it comes to talking about music! :-D

Anyone?


if u r still tryin to put IDs on LH creations then its a waste of time.. Let the brain lost inside of the Album...
Masterpiece of violence and darkness!! The real meaning of Electropunks and the boys deserve that title more than ever this time!
Props to LH mostly as the key brain, cant believe a 44th old man did such stuff really!

Need to give several listens to the album, cant go track-by track review atm... The whole compilation of killers is absolutely smashin already!

The Day is my Enemy - The Prodigy Are Here!!

Have to say though, I think AWOL would've been a superb replacement for Rise Of The Eagles. The intro would've fed straight into the ending of Wall of Death for one final beatdown.

Not that I think it really owns FOTL, but it's so close! I will write more thoroughly later, or maybe not, but what is lurking in my mind is that it's one of the classic Prodigy albums, which automatically makes it classic in the whole direction.

TDIME - classic, raw, absolutely beautiful. In love since the first repeat. 9,6/10

Nasty - grows on me, especially when heard among other tracks. Would love to hear a studio version with live guitars, which makes this track even stronger. So far 7,5/10

Rebel Radio - needs more listens, but sounds wicked all in all... Drastic beats and awesome riffs. 8/10

Ibiza - so far sounds too repetitive and I expected better from Sleafords, but it's no shit 6,5/10

Destroy - absolute classic tune! Massive! Old-school in a good way. ACID synths, huge beats - in absolute love with it. 9,7/10

Wild Frontier - I don't like it. Too pop, too similar to whatever is in DnB or Breakbeat scene, but nevertheless it has some warmth and soul, just not my piece of cake. 5-6/10

Rok-weiler - Brutal and epic. I just don't understand why so low volume on that EPIC SYNTH? I always have to make a little louder when it kicks in. Otherwise, awesome track - instant classic for me. 9/10

Beyond the Deathray - is beautiful. Really surprised me! Don't know what score it deserves, as it's more of an ambient track, which is pushing my buttons quite differently.

Rhythm Bomb - one of the best intros ever, but what a fuck with these beats? So boring... 4/10

Roadbloxx - needs more time I guess, but sounds epic nevertheless! I was so surprised to hear these vanilla sounds among such brutality! It actually made it a lot more interesting in my view. But don't feel it so much yet. 7-8/10

Get Ur Fight On - is awesome! Drives me evil! Exactly what I love about the band! Well thought development of sound scenes and crazy vibe. Don't mind it sounding so similar to one of my favourites TMTTH) 8.5/10

Medicine - is just lovely! One of the best on the album! I just love it's kinda funny attitude) I just can't get that image of funny Turkish Kebab cafe, which has that track on repeat) and chef cutting meat in sync with that track) Really cool! 9/10

Invisible Sun - is not my piece of cake, but I love it! It's one more beautiful work. Really makes this album stand out from IMD or AONO... Experimental for Prodigy, not so much for other bands of such kind, but I don't know ) it just makes sense to have it on the album. 8-9/10

Wall of Death - very agressive! Really epic ending for the album, makes it all reignite before the credits. I love it! It has that Korn/Rammstein feel to it, very brutal. Maybe even too brutal) for some normal people) but for Ravers and rockers - it's THE SHIT to go mental about! 9/10

Rise of the Eagles - is pretty cool actually) Didn't give it enough time to "exhale", but I like it. 7/10 i guess

Overall, a really strong album! The best after Jilted and Fat, almost on par with them. It just doesn't have that nobel feeling as they do, it's more of a rebel, loud bomb) I'm happy! Hope it goes wide around the public and makes them crown the band one more time as the greatest Electronic Punks ever)

PS More of a joke, but somehow feels relevant.

20 pages appeared since last night so I knew something was going on...

Pretty amateur for iTunes to be the leaker of an unleaked album.

I never buy music really unless there is a good reason to own it physically. A Prodigy album is one that needs to be owned, and call me crazy - I just might wait until Friday to get it from the record shop!

At the same time I'm craving for new shit but then again I want it to be a tradition just like last time. Putting the real physical deal on and dancing away. Therefore a little bit bugged out that it "leaked" accidentally.

So much positive vibes here, I'm just trying to imagine what the tracks will sound like! :lol:

'bout that Fat Of The Land comparsion - let's not be heretics with saying that's it better, 'cause no way it can be, BUT

I gotta say that when both these album would have a ring fight I think they could fight for all eternity and there still ain't gonna be a winner.

which means The Day Is My Enemy is pure awesomeness

This album is full of surprises... negative and positive ones

Rebel Radio - love the stutter effect in "rebel", this track does not surprise me much, greatness as expected.

Ibiza - I've expected more from this collab, although it's growing on me.

Destroy - the synth are crazy powerfull! however, this one conveyed so much energy in the live version. one should've seen it comming that that won't work in the studio version, yet I'm a tiny bit disappointed. The robot "destroy" should've been Keith shouting his lungs out.

Rok-Weiler - stupid writing, why the fuck would you hyphenate the title? stupid hipsters :lol: . but seriously, this is the true title track of the album and as such my absolute favourite. the pitched Maxim vocals surprised me, but fit well.

Beyond The Deathray - Omen reprise II. nothing new for me, dislike the piano, seems misplaced. sadly, a skipper for me.

Rhythm Bomb - Flux Pavillon party dullness mixed with Prodigy roughness and melodies. there's your party track. I like it, but it does'nt blow me away. however, on a decent system, this one will kill the crowd... that's the default illness of newer EDM tracks, decent sound systems are mandatory to support them, an indicator for mediocracy imo since a truely great track works on every sound system.

Roadblox - the xylophone, oh this FUCKING XYLOPHONE, why the fuck would you give this inherently violent track such a fairy tale vibe?! and the claps in the second vocal part take away parts of the beat's energy... still I can't help but to love the track. a future title track for any racing game :wink:

Get Your Fight On - I could not imagine that they could improve TMTTH this much!!! this thing is so melodic, a true piece of musical art, so well composed it gives me shivers (literally). this track is so iconic and would've been my number one if it weren't for the all too obvious TMTTH beat and bass structure.

Medicine - surprise, motherfucker. where did this one come from?! such a complex track, the vocals as well as the flute samples fit perfectly, absolutely love it! sadly, the chorus is a bit weak, so only number three for me.

Invisible Sun - WOW! so deep, so fucking heavy. the Wild West guitars are what separates this track from any Massive Attack gem. "burning out question marks"... yeah, 75% of the vocals are close to perfect, the other quarter too schoolboyish for me.

Rise Of The Eagles - Fuel My Fire II. loved FMF, love this one as well. British dirt, my number four.



All in all, the album is very melodic actually, love it. Vocals should've been more present at times, dislike it. After all, I cannot truely give a vote yet. No track truely dissappoints as did Colours or Medusa's Path for me. Many tracks are really great, like nine out of ten great. There doesn't seem to be another Firestarter or Poison - the all time tens - however.



excellent work, really. the waiting paid off.
