So, for the first time, my expectation levels for a new Prodigy album are modest at best. Given the three singles we've heard so far, it's, IMHO, a mile off what they are capable of, and maybe that statement is now 'used to be capable of'.

While LUTS was passable (then actually great with Trawizz' remix) the other two are probably my most hated Prodigy tracks of all time, by a mile tbh. Even worse than Action Radar, Phoenix, Ibiza, Rhythm Bomb...

So I've reduced what I'm hoping for. I hope I am proven wildly wrong and No Tourists is as good as normal.

But where do you guys sit on hopes for this one?

My top tunes after the "AONO" album are "TDIME", "Warning" and "The Big Gun Down" so it is hard to predict/expect anything.

I am both excited and calm. Somewhere between option #2 and #3.

After TDIME came out it felt like the band could end anytime soon, and I kind of accepted that. So having another album, and so early, feels good. Yet I feel like it won't be as good as TDIME. But if it can be at least better than IMD for me, I am happy.

I dreamt this morning, that the album had leaked and there was a new music video aswell, which was quite bad where Liam H said "We Live Forever", then Liam Gallagher said "We Live Forever" right after, and then Maxim, I can't tmemeber if he said the same. It was like Keith was not even in The Prodigy anymore, but Liam Gallagher took his place. What a nightmare. The album must leak tomorrow, before I loose my mind ...

Quite possible ;) I remember now they were singing it, which is even more ridiculous

I read a post elsewhere (reddit maybe?) claiming TDIME was duff.

And I will admit there's a lot of weaker stuff on it.

But the all time worst has to be AONO surely?

Depends if you replace the updated or early tracks instead of the album versions. Then it is rather great. The 2004 aono is a bit boring.

Fair point. But I wouldn't. I like to keep it pure.

Strange one again. Disliked Resonate, Champions, hated TBZ and BBT. Tracks that at first I didn't really care for are now some of the most liked. BBT especially.

I tried to listen to the album differently to how I had been, how it was put together, more than just vibing from it. Made me like it more :? Weird.

Re-score is 9/10 8-)

Your ear got used to them, that's all.
Some are growers while others are showers. :-D
Watch out, some people around here will chastise you for liking them only after an illegal amount of listens.

yes, I'm one of them muahhahahahaha

This album is a grower I think. All albums are growers if we listen to them 40 times a day. We are forcing ourselves to make them grow...thing is, will it be a grower in 6 months time or will it be deleted from our mind as many growers and best evers since TFOTL before? :-D


Now, honestly, I think this album will age better than the last two. I'm positively surprised except for one track. Even COL is better than Run and Rok-W (assuming they are the same type of track)
