Why don't you make another thread with the tech stuff and leave this one for the news?

The screech. That's the whole point, it's a motherfucking death ray; the white noise makes it live up to the title. It's death. And beyond it. Quite cinematic.

I don't care if it's meant to be like that, it makes for a bad piece of music. I have no idea how it makes it "cinematic" either, unless your local cinema has a dodgy sound system.

Yes please, I completely understand Cabalist's frustrations.

Oh, I see, you're the kind of guy who says he doesn't like Weather Experience's middle part cause it doesn't flow right, or Poison because it has screechy parts.

No? Why are you getting so defensive? I'm happy to listen to it more and be proven wrong, or get used to it, that's just how it sounds to me right now.

Ok, I give you my votes and considerations, as far they may be worth. I'm not the kind of people who writes reviews and shit like this. I hate it….Anyway:

1) The Day Is My Enemy: It is a good track, banging. However it is, as already said, sometimes too repetitive, but I love the "Game Boy" part. 7/10

2) Nasty: That's the typical prodigy track, I love it. 8/10

3) Rebel Radio: One of the best trax in the last fifteen years. However I kind agree with some people who say that it always seems that has to start. 9/10

4) Ibiza: It's a good Sleaford Mods track, but nothing special. 5/10

5) Destroy: Fucking great! 9/10

6) Wild Frontier: Great song 8/10

7) Rok-weiler: Probably the best track of this album. As already said these melodies have something nostalgic and melancholic. 9/10

8) Beyond the Death Ray: The worst chilling prodigy track, but anyway not bad at all. I think it could be better live. Omen Reprise was better and of course all the other trippin'trax: Weather Experience, Skylined, Climbatize and so on… 6/10

9) Rhythm Bomb: One of the worst Prodigy trax ever. Phoenix is better. ;) 4/10

10) Roadblox: I love the lyrics and the track just have a great energy. 8/10

11) Get Your Fight On: I have to admit that this track is growing on me even more. Initially I didn't like it at all, but I can not deny it is original, even if it has much of Take Me To The Hospital. 6/10

12) Medicine: I would have expected something better, especially reminding the instagram snippet. Anyway a good track and great riff. I don't like the bridge. 6,5/10

13) Invisible Sun: Here comes Liam's artistic vein: It could be considered the "Narayan" or also the "Action Radar", even though not comparable to these 2 great trax (especially Narayan ;) ).

14) Wall Of Death: Great track. 8/10

15) Rise Of The Eagles: I prefer the original version, anyway this one sounds original and I think that live it can be better. 6/10


Personally, I give this album a 7. They r still a great band with a personal and original sound, still kicking the ass to the other "musicians" out there. Of course there's no comparison with what done during the 90's, especially with The Fat Of The Land. As I already wrote some time ago, we're in 2015 and we compare this stuff with Aono and Invaders. Music has changed and with it, quality as well. I can not wait to see them live in few weeks. :)

Alright mate, sorry if I offended you, all I'm saying is bad sound doesn't mean bad music, especially when it comes to Liam's music. Remember that Funky Shit synth? Fuck yeah.

I listen to Get Your Fight On as a prequel to Take Me To The Hospital. It sounds like Maxim's getting ready for a fight, hyping up and that before the actual battle, then gets his arse kicked and is then in an ambulance going to hospital where he's been so badly beat up.

Finding news in these threads is like finding a needle in a haystack. Brainkiller could do with a "Your Opinion" section. If people posted in the correct section the "Your Opinion" section would dwarf all the others.
