Main riff of 'No Tourists' reminds me of ending of Nine Inch Nails - Closer, also this song is terrible.

I honestly like this fake version of 'Boom Tap' that was making rounds yesterday than the real one.

'Timebomb Zone' is generic but I can see myself coming back to this song in the future once or twice.

Wow, 'Champions of London' has some of the worst lyrics I ever heard. This album almost makes me like TDIME xd

Honestly, Liam was always good at making nice beats with cool samples and arrangements and never too good on melodies and chord progressions side (with some exceptions ofc) but melodies and progressions on this album are for sure the worst one I've ever heard from him.


Well said Tourist.

What is wrong with his negative opinion? Hard to deal with it or what?


Nah, I just don't think it's possible to write a proper review on first listen.
At least give a few listening before to come up with a more elaborated "review" instead of bashing for bashing (cause that was what it sounded like).

Ok 10 tracks, you (not you I mean him) don't like 5? ok....8? Again ok. BUT ALL FUCKING TEN OF THEM?
oh come on... get serious man.
So Yeah! It's hard to deal with people flaming everything.

Sometimes folks are way too quick to write a review after just one listen. You're not a music magazine trying to get your review out as fast as you can before another mag beats you. No one seems to sit with an album anymore and give it a proper chance. I know folks who hated this or that song on this album only for them to later come back saying it grew on them and they love it now. I've hated albums on first listen, only for it to grow on me. I sat down with this album for a week before giving my opinion on it. This album has songs that will go up there with their greats. Can't wait to hear these live.

I respectfully disagree. You can force yourself to like almost anything over time, but the most interesting and beautiful thing in life is finding out something new and loving it from first second. Works the same way with music, with books and with romantic love.

I had this relationship with The Prodigy music only sometimes, but when it worked it worked really fuckin' well, this why I have so much nostalgia for this band.

If you love this album from first second, I don't hate you - I envy you. Maybe over time I will force myself to like this one more (why would I tho?) but you get only one chance to make first impression, especially in this world full of great things.

Man, the No Tourists track needs a rapper, like badly. Dig the beats. The overall vibe is a bit of a downer. Maybe it wouldn't be with a rapper on it?

Timebomb Zone sounds like it was lifted from Surkin’s - USA album. Dig it.

Resonate is probably the worst Prodigy track ever made, lol.

Well, as a whole it's about on par with TDIME.
IMHO, only TBZ and WLF make the cut.
The album has its moments. It also has really, really cringey moments.
It certainly isn't a musical or technical milestone.
I guess it's good to have it.

NT track could probably benefit with the rapper but I like it the way it is. Slow but hard beats. Diversity on the album is stunning really.

As much as I want to hear people's opinions it saddens me to hear negative ones, was hoping this thread turned into a similar tone of the WLF thread when that got released.

I'm according that some tracks will be trash (every album I believe has some songs that are very skippable) just hope there's more to offer that WLF and LUTS which I'm loving at the moment.

I'm with you
This album gave me more feels than AONO, IMD, or TDIME and I'm a fan of them. No Tourists has all the things I love from Experience, Jilted, and FOTL rolled up into one.

1-2)No tourists-time
3)give me a signal (after a few listenings I love it)
4)boom tap

Easily the best album since fotl.

Resonate..... That gipsy weird voice around 2+ min is annoying...ruined it 4me.

I would be very surprised if Nightmare and join dont like it as an album overall. Also ...what a stupid choice of singles.

This makes me feel happy.

Here's a question for those who have listened to the album.....

Which tracks do you think are likely to feature live for the foreseeable future?
