After three tunes getting a thumbs down from me, this tune may have convinced me to come out to UK shows

I don't know if you would agree, but it doesn't remind me Experience (even with some similar synths and pitched verses) nor IMD (even with that structure and vocal), but rather modern breakbeat like this forgotten pearl: https://youtu.be/UPOsr-9Pke8

Just heard this for the first time.
I have a tear in my eye from how good that was. Reminded me of how I felt when I heard Thunder for the first time.
All my fears about No Tourists are gone with that.
Oh. My. God.
Yes.

After the rubbish three singles we have been given, this is... it's like Liam decided to release average tracks and make us think he'd lost it. The wee tease...
This is just absolutely brilliant. Quite possibly the best Prodigy track (aside my personal favourite Thunder) since FOTL.
There's posters coming out from decades ago because of this track. Never before has that happened.
That's how good this is.
If the album keeps hitting the height of this track it will be their finest yet. What a turnaround from the fears of before.

Just got on the internet after a busy day at work, shocked and stunned by this track. It's like they went back in time... this is the most exciting prodigy track since 1997. Thank you Liam!!! This time next week is gonna be pure

This is an excellent homage to the rave era, but as a 2018 track it sounds too retro to me. It's probably one of the better tunes on the album, but there are at least a dozen better tunes on the previous 3 albums. I like how Liam proves that he can still write a top rave tune, but I hope that he doesn't go too much into that direction, as the post-92 era is more worth revisiting.

Still on repeat here aswell. Goddamn, what a epic piece of music this is. Gives me goosebumps, wet eyes and a smile from ear to ear still now after 20+ listens!
The acid sound, vocals of Maxim and Keith together (?), The "pitched" rap piece samples which came from the same track as Out of Space, the synth sounds and the epic beats are all so well put together, no words for it, Just pure awesomeness.
Although "the time has come" makes me also a bit sad, as was said earlier here, like it's a farewell.
Haven't been hyped so much since FOTL! Liam is still a God!

There were attempts to create this effect before, some tunes on IMD tried hard to recreate the rave era but, not being a bad album, I somehow never wish to listen to TMTTH, WOF or Warriors Dance. The elements were there but after a few listens you notice the typical wall of sound things, the lack of depth and how some samples were not very cleverly used (the landlord stabs sampled from The Vamp sounded poor to say the least).
Then on TDIME we had Destroy, which I loved at first but then I changed my mind, the beats are mediocre, the structure is weird and it seems like he wanted but he couldn't.
Now this track is different, it sounds "genuine", cool, 92 but fresh...I wish this album to be better than AONO (imo a stand slone album), IMD (fuck Run, really) and TDIME (fuck Nasty, Rok Weiler, GYFO aka TMTTH part 2...)

I haven’t taken the time to dig thru Liam’s Instagram to his post of the ring that said “cool kids never die”, but that quote seems like the inspiration/tease for something he was working on. Aka this track. Out of everything released yet, this has that prodigy repeat listening power- you won’t get sick of it. Like with everything we’ve heard so far, odd arrangement but fuck...! It works. Still wrapping my head around something so old school yet fresh. And to those not hearing bass- whaaa? Your ears are fucked or you’re searching for something overpowering. Maybe I’m getting old

Same anger, same speed. Killer tune. Can't wait to see them perform all these singles live, it will be interesting.

Pure 90´s warehouse party energy. i never thought i would hear this sound in 2018. It doesn´t have any radio friendly or catchy mainstream elements, but i can´t stop listening to it, i love it.
