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


Yeah, I'm absolutely baffled by the positive response for it.
What on earth is up with the atrocious vocals from 2:17 onwards?

Reminded me of this post on FFWF:

here from 1:20 the vocal is of course a find, straightforward these howls of a homeless man fucked in the ass, who asks for change from passersby


LMAO :rofl:

'Give me a signal' is one of the best tunes Liam has done in years.

I have now given No Tourists multiple listens:

Liam Sir you are a fucking legend. This album is more than i have hoped for:

Need Some1: 8/10 Fuck the naysayers this is a good tune with a head rocking beat. I have liked it since day 1 and it still rocks

Light Up the Sky: 9/10 Man I love this tune the beat, synths, vocals, samples all on point Maxim vocals sit perfectly over the track. Big Big Tune IT ROCKS "LATER!!!!!"

We Live forever 10/10 Shit Man I first seen The Prodigy in 1992 this brought me right back. Top Top Rave Tune for 2018. Beat and bassline is sick....Maxim/Keef strong in vocals but that Sample oh man That Sample from Ultra Mag MCs Turn tha Flame :evilflame: HIGHER !!!! :bow: I honestly thought Liam would never bring the ruckus like this again He has and then some best tune on album in my opinion

No Tourists 8/10 Many will recognise the synths from the early incarnations of Shoot Down .....Its the red door track its Hip Hop Prodigy style. Its got a James Bond vibe going on :007: huge Bestie Boys nod also in my opinion. Nice synth builds throughout. Maxim again strong on this. Good to see Liam mixing vibe and tempo up its a tune that's hard but melodic so fits perfect after the previous two bangers "No Tourists no sight to see"

Fight fire With Fire 9/10 I know this one has split opinion but for me since i heard it i knew this album was shaping up to be special. I fucking love the synths on this with Horror vocal. Funky as fuck with the slow hip hop beats (Nothing wrong with bass I hear it loud and clear) again i feel Beasties in this tune too. Cannot wait to rock to this one live !!!

TimeBomb Zone 9/10 "Can you Hear It" This albums No Good....... But with a solid 1991/92 reference. Its a feel good rocking female vocal vibe throughout .... Again I never thought this was in Liam. I have rated 9/10 but I believe it might move to 10/10 over time. Its The Prodigy full Rave Vibe Nice analogue lead bass line rolling throughout track. Its class and i think everyone will buzz off it

Champions Of London: 6/10 I like the track I mean really nice beat. Synth line little repetitive but overall a good track. Keefs vocals bring the whole vibe down. The brother culture vocals are cool but Keef does not fit this track at all in my opinion. This might grow on me but for me at this moment in time it is the weakest track.

Boom Boom Tap: 7/10 Cool bEAT nice bass also stop start affair until 2 min mark with some nice elements not sure the vocals fit but there is something about it i like. Once it gets going its cool with quality snare rolls and nice tempo. Again this score might improve with time

Resonate 9/10 Classic Prodigy hard beats and smooth bass line lurking underneath. Some IMD lead synths but this really works love the Brother Culture vocals throughout. The snare stabs are lethal in this some old school jungle snare rolls bouncing in and out. Rocking tune i LOVE IT Resonate is a killer track

Give me a signal: 8/10 Analogue Central with heavy synths and 303 in full flow ...... The vocals really work in this track I its a nice track to close out the album... The chorus has class synths on it and it builds heavy towards end. Great track I can see this working live


Overall this album is more than any of us could've wished for. Liam take a bow you tha man you fucking LEGEND :bow:

Its too early to say where this fits against other albums but so far I would place it in Top 3 :evilflame:

This album is sick. What the fuck are the “critics” on about? This is easily the best album since The Fat of The Land! :twisted:
It’s their second most “dancey” album by a long shot, after Experience. There are just far more dance tunes here than MFTJG, FOTL, AONO, IMD and TDIME tbh - despite being the shortest album.

Agreed
As a fan of their original trilogy of greatness, I am loving this. Feels like the proper follow up to FOTL to me.

The album is fucking raw, fat, dirty, dark and HEAVY!

What i like the most about this album the dark atmosphere it brings as opposed to last two "happy" sounding records (both of which make me cringe a bit sometimes lol). A lot of the album sounds like MFTJG and TFOTL live jams, which is awesome. Some tracks sound unfinished, but it comes out good since it makes the album sound really raw. This is what we've all been waiting for since The Fat Of The Land, best album since 1997 for sure!

And i must mention it again, this album is fucking FAT AND HEAVY!!! Loving it!

After one listen, so this might be hasty, but I'm thinking best post-Fat album here. I said that about TDIME, but I haven't changed that position until now.

Weakest link is Champions of London for me, with Timebomb, Signal and We Live Forever the highlights.

Oh, I really love Boom Boom Tap.

Who wants to bet that Timebomb Zone will appear on videogames? Especially car racing

haven't heard the album yet but it's funny to read the same hyperbolic opinions once again...

People, you lot said the same fucking thing in the very first days after TDIME was released, maybe you're right, but don't let the euphoria of the moment commit the same mistakes. I remember most of you praising Nasty and Wall Of Death and we all know that after that period in which we desperately want to like a thing those tracks were mediocre to say the least.

Anyhow, I hope you are all right.

ps- those who are going to call me moaner and bla bla can f..k off in a gentle way :)

And I thought they're out of ideas and that it won't top TDIME, please slap my face with huge pink dildo I was dumb :oops:

LOVING IT TO BITS :Firestarter: Caught me offguard couple times, didn't expect 90s revisits, and sure as hell didn't expect so many chipmunked high pitched vocals :lol: it's all fun though, because it gels nicely with tough ravey breaks and gritty synths, it is a detour from IMD/TDIME, with some nice experiments here and there and most of them work well, rest certainly will come alive during live shows :bringit: one thing that is lacking for me is some war/chopper sounds Liam used to use a lot, if you know what I mean 8-)

---

Need Some1 8/10 great
I think I'm one of the few that enjoys this one as an album opener, reminds me a lot of Serbian Film credits tune https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=exbmO1uDMbM little instrumental fucker, yes it's repetitive, that's the point ;)

Light up the sky 8/10 great
loved it at first, got overplayed and bored me because of it, but now as a part of the album it fits nicely in between, relentless very prodigey beat is there, hits hard and has some urgency in it, does not stop till the very end ;growing on me again

We live forever 10/10 banger
Liam confirming he is a disco king :chill: loving that PHAOW sound ;) Liam built some fantastic contraption in here, it just makes you want to move things, fav part? POW POW acid stabs, some great transitions with NOW! and going straight to explosive beats (with some TMTTH flavour which I don't mind) turn the flame higher :evilflame:

No tourists 8/10 great
holy shit this one is distorted like cray cray crayzee ;p built to create stampedes live, not feeling a beat yet, I need a crashtest live I guess, still rate it highly tho

Fight fire with fire 7/10 good
it was 9 week ago and 6 yesterday, undecided what to make of it, time to melt my mothafukin face, it's quite heavy, would like to see Maxim trying out these lyrics too :]

Timebomb Zone - out of scale, total dancefloor destruction imminent
can you hear it? tick tick don't stop :evilflame: :guns: :evilflame:
easily best track on the album, WOOO! it has a bit of everything, that 90s vibe tho! and it all comes together so well, WOOO! that vocal sample put in the right place makes it amazing, beat is fucking sick too, Liam I love you :oops: :lol: can't go wrong live if you have ammunition like this one :bringit:

Champions of London - 9/10 fat
very cool fast beats feat. chipmunks and Keef :lol: intro reminds me of Warning, I like it, hopefully it puts Run on a shelf for lives :p Waaah! Keef has some field in here in terms of spitting venom thru lyrics, it has potential to be filthier than it is now, I'm liking it more and more with each listen

Boom Boom Tap 7/10 good
but you should pay Andy Milonakis for that feat, really :lol: it's funny and silly, BUT I think I prefered first version with beat similar to Rene LaVice stuff, it might work live, curious about this one, it's fast enough but I'd love to have more of that pacman sounds everywhere in it

Resonate 9/10 fat
this one got beefed up! beat is exciting and transitions have vocals (distorted/high pitch/brother culture real one) so you can do all with it live and break dem chainz, outro is sexy

Give me a signal 10/10 huge surprise
superb experiment that worked and exploded in my face :guns: Narcotic Suite 2018 ;) and I was expecting slow track like Shoot down or something :] But I knew it won't be a country song :p Signal! pom pom pom, great idea to get Keef on it as well, vocals are what I expected Liam to do - go crazy with it :twisted: distort is getting stronger as the track goes on so give me a signal 8-) unexpected amounts of acid, so you better watch out tourists :evil:

---

Fantastic album :bow: Can't wait to experience Timbebomb and We live when I see em, I will probably melt inside. Liam really is a godlike creature, love this man who really has some serious gunz in his locker :bringit: never doubt Liam, never.

The intro reminded me so much of the Wipeout HD soundtrack. There was a tune with a very similar bassline there. EDIT: It's actually the main menu theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMUKdkixCZI

As for the album itself, I'm liking it, but not as much as TDIME or IMD. It probably edges AONO, which is not a bad achievement.

The intro, the damn intro of Timebomb Zone, the fat bass and whispering vocals and ticking bomb just takes my breathe away, goosebumps and euphoria then boooom energy. I was hoping and praying that this album would have a dancy song with female vocals and this one delivered. Signed, sealed, delivered. 10/10 pure FILTH.
