The acid Line says "let it rock you" (Death of the Prodigy dancer).

My brain is f*cking with me i guess, hearing things that aren't there.

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 see what you mean, and while I can't say what Liam's intentions writing WD or TMTTH were, they work as rave-inspired tunes altho they are not exactly rave tunes. You couldn't put them on Experience, but they're both classics. Same happened with Destroy - it was a moshpit tune built from rave sounds, you can't really dance to it, all you can do is, well, destroy everything around you? :P WLF is just EITP/Wind it Up/you name it... for modern era.

cant remember last time I posted here, fuckin years ago. Seeing alot of old faces posting here regarding this track! good to see some of you old bastards still alive....! (looking at you dUFE)

I honestly thought Liam had lost it. The last album was mostly a dud for me. But ive enjoyed the 3 releases so far from No Tourists, good tracks but not like pant wettingly good, (although some of you lot have seriously gotten sandy fannys over it!!!)...But this track just brought me out the woodwork to post again,

When Girls dropped in 04, I think people lost their shit. It felt SO different, and I personally could beleive my ears...i had it on repeat for weeks...It was a bit divisive, i know of alot of old skool fans who tuned out at that point, they hated the sound...but I think most fans that stuck around were excited for AONO.

When Warriors Dance got played at Sheff in 08, everyone lost their shit again. I drove home from that gig at 2am playing True Faith Take me Away on repeat as it was the closest thing to hearing it again. It was truly a magical moment. It was the last thing i ever expected to hear in 2008 from Liam.

Now once again, We Live Forever has dropped and people are loosing their minds. How the fuck this wasnt the first single I will never know. I now get what the whole 'evil rave' thing is about. This is 92 brought kicking and screaming in 2018. Maybe hes been warming us all up so far with the controversial tracks (based on everyones opinions here!) just so everyone can agree this is more like it..!

Quiet optimism for the new album has now become excitement for the first time since IMD for me. Shaping up to be a really good album. Fair play Liam, didnt think you still had in ya

Back to my hole now, cya later

Getting some cool modernized early 90's vibes from this one.
The ""evil""-synth part ruins it a bit and kinda kills the flow for me (probably because I've never been of a big fan of this specific type of "sawtooth" treatment/design). The rest of the parts are great.

Good tune overall.

Because others would have sounded crap in comparison after hearing this first haha. Imagine hearing Need Some1 for the first time after this? :lol:

I thought I could resist listening to any more tracks before the album. After seeing the response here, I had to do it.

Don't regret one bit. This gets you instantly pumping with energy.

Most importantly: this is the first dance track from them since...Warrior's Dance? Like many of you said, after these three tracks I think none of us believed a track like this could happen.

We Live Forever follows the path of TMTTH and Destroy, but has maybe perfected the cycle. Throwback meets modern without feeling forced while doing it.

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:

I just remembered Shadow some while ago too! I thought it was meh when it came out in 2006, but now I'm like "this is sooo fresh!"

This is an excellent homage to the rave era, but as a 2018 track it sounds too retro to me.


I don't see why rave music or anything that was mainly around in the 90's, etc, should be so confined to that time. Music like this is proof that it doesn't have to be like that. It's a style to me that I don't like to think of as having a set date on it, it just stopped being made as much and became less mainstream. I see it more as an update on something that probably still has a lot of life in it yet, and that maybe shouldn't have been abandoned so much in the first place.


Perhaps for people who experienced the rave era it might be different, but as someone who learnt about it later, I view it as a genre that has not been relevant for a quarter of a century. Don't get me wrong, I have respect for the roots of the band and I love a lot of the tunes from that era, but The Prodigy has always been about evolution for me, so unless this tune is a one-off, which would be totally fine and even cool, I'd be worried about Liam going backwards too much. The rave genre might have been great, but there is only so much that you can achieve within the boundaries of that genre, and Liam has achieved it all. Outgrowing rave unlocked Liam's creative potential and he went onto bigger and better things for the remainder of that decade. From what I read, I get the impression that most people would be really happy if the rest of the album is a rave nostalgia fest, while I'd rather hear Liam trying to break some new ground, or at least revisiting the Jilted and Fat eras.

Absolute banger! This is the perfect synthesis of all that is and has been good about the Prodigy :Firestarter:

It has the early 90s rave vocal sample, the techno-like synths, Maxim's vocals, the Take me to the hospital/Get your fight on bass line (but less obvious than in Get your fight on, thank god)... perfect

I am gonna go nuts when this plays in Brussels! :evilflame:

"I am the oven, your brains I wanna heat up
Mega, supersonic degrees
Fire, turn the flame higher, turn the flame higher!"

Man, I can't get enough of that Ultra-Magnetic MC's sample--seriously, this tune is so retro, it truly is the jam!

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 :Firestarter:


It's the best Prodigy single since 1992. This beats absolutely everything that was released as a single from Jilted onwards.

Not saying it's the best Prodigy track ever, but it's definitely up there, but the released singles are a very mixed bag.


Sorry, but comments like these seem to be influenced too much by rave nostalgia. I can think of at least 10 singles and many more non-singles since 1992 that are better. I'm happy that people are enjoying the tune, but it's not the holy grail. Nothing new can beat the golden tunes from the 90s. This isn't to say we shouldn't enjoy the new tunes, but we shouldn't exaggerate either.


I'm not exaggerating. If you weren't around for the early days, then you simply won't understand.
