True: they did try something different with AONO - it was the first time they (by 'they' I mean Liam) wrote a record where at least half the songs (in my opinion) were at best average/mediocre - one or two below. They've never actually been able to reproduce that spectacular feat.

As for the new album being the least innovative album they've ever written, I beg to differ (and draw your attention to IMD: a record that was unashamedly Liam pillaging his back catalogue of experience-era sounds to produce one of the most one-dimensional and retro-sounding records he has ever made).

Invisible Sun and Medicine represent significant departures to the usual sledge-hammer approach of Prodigy records and changed the pace of TDIME before WOD smashes the album to a close.

You got to feel for Liam: fans condemning him for abandoning his roots and the big beats - fans condemning him for not being 'innovative' - fans condemning him for his new style of production - there's always a hater lurking no matter what direction he takes. The guy can't win.

This album (TDIME) is my favourite Prodigy album: as a collection of tracks it is the most consistent and offers twists and turns in pace and sounds that I have't heard since the Narcotic Suite at the end of MFTJG. A previous poster made a good point about the 'fresh factor' playing a part in some people believing that this album is their best effort yet - that may be true. However, with IMD, I knew pretty quickly that that album was no great shakes: I just remember a feeling of vague disappointment every time I listened to that album. It was the sound of a band trying too hard - stuck in musical quicksand, nowhere to go but backwards (which delighted the old-school experience-era fans, no doubt) - creating a 'cartoon' album that actually made me appreciate the relatively serious-sounding AONO (despite the fact that 50% of that album represents some of the most forgettable Prodigy tracks ever made - for me, at least).

This new album works for me. Better than I anticipated - got a bit of everything really. Fits together nicely - The Prodigy have redeemed themselves to me with this new record. This album has a much more confident vibe about it - like it is comfortable in its own skin.

Canibalist? Haha! Yes, one of the most insightful reviews of TDIME I have ever read! Like a schoolchild in the yard stamping his feet and shouting 'I hate you - I hate you, hate you, hate you!!!!' But when you ask them why they hate you, they will only fold their arms and answer 'just! I just do! I hate you [blows raspberry and turns away]!' I used to laugh at kids like that. Over the top theatrics - and little or no substance to any of their puerile semantics and outbursts. Most likely just love the attention.

Yeah, we can all dislike an album (in relative terms) - or parts an album - but when somebody slates an ENTIRE album (forming a rediculously extreme opinion - not the considered, rational criticism you associate with people who have no axe to grind) out of hand with little or no justification (like the child who throws their dummy out of the cot) AND that person also dismisses the opinions of other people (who DO like that album) then you know for sure that you are walking on troll territory. No doubt.

Secondly, I have no axe to grind. I'm a genuine fan of the band that finds no merit in this new output by Liam, which is the same as what 90% of my friends think too. I'm not alone in this verdict.

Thirdly, I'm glad you can enjoy this shit. I however must have grown up so therefore I'm out.

Relatives,strangers on a bus station,people who ask for your lighter,prostitutes who give you a head and pets, do not count as friends.




Thats an excuse for when you cant get it up,or cant control your sphincter to make your other half happy.Go back to your cave.I think Liam posted something for all those who do not find a single nice thing on the new album.

Sorry to double post, but I feel this is a valid point. Liam said in an interview that he was tired of people using "the same tired old tricks" and they're "not pushing boundaries", you've all lapped that shit up but yet comment on how he's regurgitated numerous shit on this album, ESPECIALLY on "Get Your Fight On" (aka "Take Me To The Hospital" part 2).

Do you not find that hypocritical?

What is it with your constant abusive behaviour to me dude? Ok, I get it, you love the band. I did too, at one point, but I don't like their new material. Why do you feel it necessary to throw insults at me at any given opportunity? Give it up FFS.

Don't take my negative critique as a personal slight against you. You didn't make that album, so why are you getting so defensive?

to be honest, I don't care really, I've got used to Liam sayin' one thing and doin' another, and whether he's a hypocrite or not it's not my business, 'cause I'm not buyin' his words or his "truth", I'm byuin' his music if it gives me joy and in this case - it does. but I understand that it might upset a lot of fans, it upsets me even, but not the fact, that he's a hypocrite, but the fact, that he chose the weaker, less fitting version of GYFO for the album - the first version had a massive, beating_to_the_ground beat and the album version is.. well, it's just decent.

*At least everyone else who does not like the album much find 2-3 songs they enjoy.You reject everything.Go troll somewhere else(i hope you troll and you are not just stupid).

first post and long time lurker on this site and I have to say you have to be the saddest person on this forum seriously the things you write to people shows how shit your life must be in the real world do you have friends?

ok the new album is a 8/10 from me.
