A large divergence of opinion here: which is what Liam would want - no middle ground.
Reading comments that some people find certain songs in TDIME 'cringeworthy' - while at the same time lauding IMD. Which is puzzling because IMD was the only album where I experienced anything resembling a 'cringeworthy' feeling. On songs like IMD (the title track) - which came across as Tesco-value Pendulum. I didn't find anything innovative about IMD at all - which isn't necessarily a bad thing as long as the tunes are bangin'. I must admit that with IMD I had to force myself to like a lot of the tunes on that album - the almost cartoon-like nature and feel of the songs (which I guess derive from the experience-derived direction of some songs) don't really do it for me now.
In contrast, the new album sounds like it means business - in terms of productions, the 'feel,' tone and vibe of the tracks are perfect (taking their cue from TFOTL and Jilted - even AONO too). All with the energy of IMD. I said this yesterday - for me, this new album is my current favourite and probably (in a more considered sense) their second best (behind jilted). I can't stress how much I love it - even songs like Nasty (which I have grown to really like now) seem to make more sense in the context of the album - it's a sonic journey with twists and turns that I haven't experienced since Jilted. TFOTL had (as Liam said) killer tracks (Smack, Breathe and Firestarter) but I find the album much more one-dimensional (and less interesting) than TDIME (which I think is a superior collection of album tracks).
And despite what a lot of people say, I absolutely LOVE GYFO. One of my favourites on the album - when that main riff kicks in at the start. Wow! That, Destroy, Rokweiler, Rebel Radio, Roadblox all destroy all before them. Unlike IMD I don't feel I need to force myself to like any of these songs - I love them! Can't stop listening to them - never had that feeling with (maybe the exception of TMTTH) any IMD songs.
This is better than I ever imagined it to be.
This and Jilted are the best for me. Without question.

IMD is a half-fuking-album. Liam was too happy to notice that he forgot to write the other half of a tunes or just too lazy. but happy. in a hippie mood or smth. too happy to write the prodigy music

I give the album 5/10 because half of it is actually pretty good while the rest is abominable.
Specifically, Rise of The Eagles, Get Your Fight On, Wild Frontier, Nasty, Rhythm Bomb, Beyond The Deathray and Ibiza are all "cringeworthy". Without them, this album could have been pretty, pretty good. I was surprised Liam decided to make a 15-track album but that makes sense now as half of it sucks donkey balls.

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! The funniest comment I have read on the whole thread! Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! Rise of the Eagles is a bonus track. And most of those other tracks you quoted are actually (collectively) better than the whole of IMD. By a country mile. GYFO is amazing. Beyond the Deathray cringeworthy? Bwahahahahahaha! Tell me, what do you think of IMD? The album. Any cringeworthy tunes there?
