They bring to the surface many elements of the tracks I hadn't heard before. Having said that, they definitely lose something without the lyrics, I feel.

had a proper listen to the album now. made my own edition with the tracks i really like:
1 the day is my enemy 2 rise of the eagles 3 rebel radio 4 ibiza 5 destroy 6 beyond the deathray 7 get your fight on 8 medicine 9 wall of death
THE DAY IS MY ENEMY really stands out. those drums add another dimension to the track which separates it from the rest of the album. keeps getting better. RISE OF THE EAGLES blends well with the day. judging from the intro, it seems it was meant to be the 2nd track. still one of my favourites from the album,, dunno why they made this a bonus track.. maybe because its a cover. i cut off the faded out beginning and end so it flows really nicely from the day -> rise -> REBEL RADIO.. which has really grown on me. proper banger. again.. i like the fact it has breaks in it which makes it different to the overall sound of the beats on this album. IBIZA is simple, almost stupid simple,, but it works well. proper punkrock. love it! rise and ibiza remind me of white limo's remix which i really digged even though it sounded rather simple and rushed. DESTORY - this raw to its core and has prodigy written all over it. it has vicious low-end basslines and hard beats which makes it an instant killer. great variety + i love it when tracks have extra beats at the end. high five to liam 4 releasing this, kind of a surprise. BEYOND THE DEATHRAY .. this is a cool breakdown from all the mayhem.. likin the atmosphere. this track has depth.. GET YOUR FIGHT ON was the biggest surprise. even though its too similar to hospital, it works really well. after listening to the live recording i didn't dig it at all, but the album version totally kills it! reminds me of the soundtrack of a dos car game i used play when i was little - lotus. fucking love that. awesome sounds on this one! its the evil twin brother of tmtth. MEDICINE was a surprise as well. seems like an extension of stab? brother culture's vox sounds ace. the breakdown with that sitar sample on this one is my favourite bit on the album! WALL OF DEATH deserves its name. evil and filthy - just what i expect. proper prodigy with all 3. the rest of the album is meh.. nasty's ok, but drags too much (though.. the riff is ace), rok-weiler reminds me too much of how raw this track could have been, rhythm bomb and wild frontier don't do nothing for me and roadblox is .. sorry.. but utter shit to me - i just cant understand liam digging that sound.
overall i like this 1 much better than IMD, at least the selection i made. both the last 1 and this have tracks that kill and tracks that sound pointless and really shit for the prodigy, though, The Day Is My Enemy totally shits over IMD. this album is definitely a grower + it was full of surprises which is always good.. however, it doesn't stand a chance to the first 4 albums in my books. especially productionwise. having said that.. not a bad effort from the lads! stay sharp .

I was in the mall today to pick up some things, and walked past a record store that had a single copy of the album on vinyl for sale, so i bought it. First new prodigy album i bought in 10 years, and almost only because of The day is my enemy and Destroy.

Fakin ill wrote: Okay i finally got the tracks (and its in much better quality than before) so i might be doing a little review to torture you all.
1. The Day. The quiet tune over the drums at the start is spinechilling. The beats are even much stronger. The vocals are slow and perfect now. I can hear that the drums are really "metal". The 8-bit song is really perfect after the darkness. 2:16 made me eargasm. 3:10-3:44 and the way it ends is so perfect. I would still rate it a big 10/10.
2. Nasty. The tune at the beginning sounds kinda.. military somehow. When the drums kicks in it gets weaker tho. Oh well. The beeping is still annoying me. After the lyrics ends, the tunes are really great now. Dirty electronic and some electronic "beats" underneath it. The horns in the second "Nasty Nasty" really gives this track some spice. Love the Experiencelike tune after it. I aint no tourist part and the eagle break is a really great way to break down the track. I love how the tunes starts perfectly after it, and then somehow Nasty feels complete for me. And the drums are really annoying still. So Omenlike, dear god. This track gets a 7/10.
3. Rebel Radio. I love the "I love rebel radio" tunes at the start. Never thought the "this needs medicine" beats would fit so good. Love the Firestarterkind of tunes. The vocals feels oldschool. Love the horns or something. Love the rock+Heatwave tunes. Love the vocals, so perfect. Love 2:49 breakdown. Feels so chilly. This track is so fucking perfect. Solid 10/10.
4. Ibiza. The start of the track feels meh. Then the rock kicks in and it starts lovely. And love the tunes. Seems like some kid is playing on it but still nice. The vocals are funny and i dont understand a shit but the "Whats hes fucking doing" with the tunes fits so perfectly. "Transmit" robotic voice fits perfectly. The ending is nice. What i miss? Actually more vocals as i expected from Sleaford mods. Like 90% of the track. But still, i give this a 9/10.
5. Destroy. Funny melody at the beginning. The start feels so fkn FOTL. Love the tunes. And the New Beats stuffs. Love "Destroy" and the electroriff. To the near ending it feels so Experience. What a fkn lovely track. Omen beats are nice. Ending is fkn heavy FOTL-like. 10/10.
6. Wild Frontier. Sega genesis. :D Colours stuffs kicks in. Good drums. Good vocals. Good Omen-stuffs and monkey stuffs. 2:48 comes out of nowhere and feels bad. Really, is this tune necessary? Love the Electrostuffs/Segastuffs at 3:29-3:53, the best part imo. 8/10.
7. Rok-Weiler. Is the rockriff necessary? Love the electronic stuffs. The dog barks sounds a little beat too weak but the "weiler" sounds funny. Love the electronic-rock stuffs after it. The vocals are perfect and so are the background stuffs. Best part is 2:44-3:09. Wish we could hear more of that. The ending is just perfect. 10/10.
8. Deathray. Love the start of it, such a great electronic tune. The pianostuffs feels so damn Experience. The tunes after that is really chill. Love the Weather-Experiencelike stuffs after it. Such a good chill-the-fk-downtrack. 9/10.
9. Rhythm Bomb. Starts promising. Love the girls vocals. Then it gets tired really quickly.. The riff sucks, feels out of place. Wtf. The only good thing now is the beats. It feels like this track went on forever but i like the part at 1:47. Feels so 90s. Funny how this track feels so slow compared to the other tracks. I prefer 808 over this crap. 0/10.
10. Roadblox. Love the tunes at the beginning. When the stuffs kicks in after it, it feels FOTL-like all the way, love the "awww" sample. Vocals are perfect. The breakdown around 3:40 is so perfect and funny. The drums are fast and perfect. The track is 5 minutes long yet feels like 1 minute. I got sad when it ended. 10/10.
11. Get Your Fight On. What. Have. They. Done. You know, this track would fit PERFECT after Deathray if it started with the "violence" sample as the first live version. It would be a total atmosphere changer. Like "okay we have chilled you down enough, now get ready for some real fkn shit." The first part feels like AONO-leftover. I dont like the guitarriff anymore. The Hospitaldrums feels bad on this. The vocals and guitarriff.. dear god. The piano-electrostuff just feels meh. Violence is nearly not noticeable. 1:19-1:20 tune is the only thing i like. 2:20-3:00 is also quite good. Wow, what have they done to this track. Who is responsible? And that people prefer this over Hospital?! 1/10 just because of the breakdown.
12. Medicine. Love the funny stuffs. Love the beats n shit. The breathe-kind of stuffs feels like Mescaline. Is it from Mescaline? Propably. Vocals are fun and catchy. 0:55 tune feels chilling. Love the crazy tunes in the "sickness" part. The breakdown is just perfect with the Prodigy riff and that sample. This track is crazy and i like it. 9/10.
13. Invisible Sun. Love the alien-like tunes. The drumbeats are so perfect. The guitarriff is lovely. The vocals feels spiritual (?) except the Question Mark-line. Love the alien-beats after the vocals. Feels so chilly. Space-version of Narayan i guess? 9/10.
14. Wall of Death. The riff at the beginning is crazy. The 0:20-0:27 part is awesome. Love how it ends with "Follow me to the wall of death". The drums are quite good. Love the FOTL-riff and the "my friends" vocal. Love the crazy tivoli-sound when Keef starts singing. Then the breakdown riff after that is perfect. 2:24-2:43 is the best part of this track imo. The crazy Firestarter-like tunes at the end of it should have started earlier. Also love the "woo" sample. 9/10.
15. Rise of the eagles. Love the start. Some motorsounds coupled with some light drumbeats. The riff is quite good. The "Murder" line,i dont like it at all, idk why. Tho the other parts are good. 2:20 part and the rest of it is perfect. Especially the drums. 8/10.
If i counted right the score is 8/10 to this album. Glad to have finally heard it in perfect quality. Much better than IMD and AONO. Agree with most track ratings (though 0/10 for Rythmn Bomb seems rather harsh). The rating I disagree with most is GYFO. My favourite track on the album. The one I listen to most - along with Rebel Radio and Destroy.

It was a download I found, but after checking (and it's three times the size of the one I had) I can't tell the fucking difference anyway! I'm baffled. It's just until I get cash next week. This is probably one of the best albums I'll hear this decade, from one of my favourite bands, so I'm still buying it. But I don't get how the fuck I can't tell the difference between a version that's three times the size of the other one I had. I'm tired, but I really can't tell a difference. Supposedly FLAC and 420mb, but I don't notice anything different from the first leak. I'll just be happy when I get the cd (having to think about selling stuff because I'm overdrawn for the time being, so I definitely can't afford it for about a week.) As for my ears being happy, I think they're just happy listening to the album as it is (and I've not listened to it much recently either so just good to hear some of it again.) Can't wait for a cd though so I have no doubt about the quality. I can hear the difference between first leak and flac downloaded from Prodigy store in first 15 sec of listening in some tracks with small 350 eur Genelec active speakers, connected with aux to laptop. From CD (what I haven't received yet) it should sound even better. What kind of audio system do you have? If it's too crappy, it's not so easy to find the difference.
