I am a long time fan of the Prodigy, so any time they announce new music I have to get it. I have all their albums and a signed Jilted Generation print on my living room wall, which I treasure.

When the Prodigy announced a new album last year I expected great things as I still love and regularly play their last album - The Day is my Enemy and I immediately pre ordered No Tourists as soon as it was announced.

Alarm bells started ringing when they released their first single off the album - Need Some1. I found this track to not be Prodigy at all, in fact more like something you'd hear from Knife Party or Pendulum. Same goes for their follow up single Light Up The Sky.

I did, however, have some hop after hearing their third single from the album - We Live Forever. To me this had hints of Experience about it, and sounded like the old Prodigy I know and love. However I was to be disappointed on receiving the album and giving it a couple of playthroughs and for me it turns out that We Live Forever is the only decent track on the entire album!

I'm not sure what Howlett and co are trying to do with this album but for me, it shows no passion and kind of displays a Prodigy that have run out of ideas - I absolutely despise the track Fight Fire With Fire.

I think there are one, maybe 2 good tracks and then 8 fillers and also, at a run time of only 37 minutes it's so short it feels less like an album and more like an EP.

I will continue to be a fan of the Prodigy and will always buy their music, however No Tourists will not go down as a classic. It's short, uninspired and forgettable and certainly isn't the Prodigy I know and love. Definitely one of the weaker albums, and if I was to rank their main albums in order I would put this at the bottom. Yes, I even prefer Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned to this!

Jesus Danny you just don't fucking stop and continously have to bash people for liking an album you don't. This is why you get attacked on here because you just can't seem to contain yourself from telling everyone that they're wrong and you're right, which makes you come off as a twat. You don't like the album, that is fine, but stop making yourself out to be some sort of expert of all others. I seriously can't believe you had to open a new topic to tell us all for the zillionth time how you hate the album and we're all idiots for liking it. Fuck man, get a hobby or something. Your desperation to prove yourself above all others is showing.

There's something kind of interesting with the older (more rave oriented) fans hating on the colaboration with Ho99o9...

because that's frankly the most sonically "new" track on the album.

It's Liam taking on the whole "Death Grips" Punk/HipHop aesthetic and doing something with it.
Liam's take on the sound of a younger band.


Just because it's not a record aimed at "you".. doesn't mean it's a bad record.
0 Nostalgia in that track.

I understand that you don't like this album (You've talked about it dozens of times in the news section) but you can't just assume that those of us who like the album are lying to ourselves.

You surely have the right to have your own opinion and post it here, but it's incredibly annoying to read posts like this one because:

-why do you care so much about others opinion? Isn't it a good thing that others like something even if you don't?
-you're not saying anything like "I dislike this album", "I really hate it", you're saying more like, "this album is objectively bad and anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional"
-when people like something, it really hurts to hear "it's shit" from someone else
-even if this album is genuinely bad and we're all lying to ourselves... why is that even wrong and why do you even care? Leave us alone...

Be nice.

I'm willing to open my eyes to the idea of a generation gap. That the older fans don't like the album and the younger ones do.
