OK, just to clear things up with the track times thing... ''Omen Reprise'' and ''Piranha'' are like just over a minute long. the rest of the tracks are 4-5 mins.


Have i missed something here? Howd you no this? :?

Because "Reprise" is short by definition and piranhas are quick little fuckers :)

Exclusive Listen: The Prodigy Return
Clash hears 'Invaders Must Die' album


Type: Best Of Clash / Written by: Mike Diver

Date Posted: Fri, 28/11/2008 - 13:22



Artist Links: The Prodigy buy from:


Clash toddled down to a London studio yesterday for a sneaky listen to the return of rave’s truest titans.

The Prodigy release their fifth studio album, ‘Invaders Must Die’, on March 2 via Take Me To The Hospital/Cooking Vinyl. The album’s title track is currently available to download for free from the band’s official site, but beyond that: the record’s under wraps.

The below, though, should give you some idea of what to expect…

The title track opens proceedings, and immediately sets a tone – the pace is to be furious, the blistering beats relentless. A mood descends, one more similar to their 1994 classic ‘Music For The Jilted Generation’ than 2004’s ‘Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned’. Come the middle section, lynchpin Liam Howlett is exploring the band’s past, ‘Take Me To The Hospital’ bleeding into ‘Warrior’s Dance’ in a manner that echoes the expressive hedonism of the group’s ‘Experience’ debut. Throughout, Maxim and Keith Flint are on fiery vocal form, as if rediscovering the passion that drove the band to such heights in the 1990s.

Not that The Prodigy have gone wholly retro – much of ‘Invaders Must Die’ packs a full-blooded rock punch that takes drum and bass and techno elements and adds them to a formula well-schooled in live-show excellence, a mix that’s theirs and theirs alone, imitable and unique. A succession of songs pass that sound as if they’ll be incredible live – ‘World’s On Fire’ seems set to be a highlight of the band’s already phenomenal sets, and ‘Run With The Wolves’ is given extra percussive energy by the contributions of a certain Dave Grohl. And just when you think you’ve got ‘Invaders Must Die’ sussed, there’s a sting in its tail in the shape of ‘Stand Up’. It’ll blindside many.

It's very interesting that the tracks Take Me To The Hospital and Warriors Dance are both the old skool rave style and are next to each other on the disc. That should be very interesting to see how they go together. I suspect this album is gonna take a bit of a journey and the middle point is where it dips into the full-on retro. I cannot wait to hear that!...

Also this Stand Up tune is sounding to be something rather special. Everyone keeps saying how great it is. I have the feeling that finally Liam has given us a decent album closer after the poor Fuel My Fire and Shoot Down. This time I think the album will bang all the way until the end!...

Looks like the tracks are going to link into each other just like FOTL :lol:

Narayan into Firestarter is the best link ever !

Sounds like all our dreams come true to me!

The way these guys are discribing the album makes me grin from ear to ear! Bring on march the 2nd. P.S. I hope we hear something new from the albumn on the invaders tour (i.e. something other than the songs they've been playing at the festivals)

Liam said that theyll play 5 songs and my guess is

Warriors dance, Worlds on fire, Run with the wolves, Invaders Must Die, then either Colours or Take me to the hospital

this is good news, everyone seems to agree that this is a hell of an album. I am really looking forward to stand up.

Sounds about right! As long as we get Run with the wolves and Invaders must Die I'll be satisfied! Anything else is a brucey bonus!

OI, oi! It’s time to dust down the white rave gloves — THE PRODIGY have gone back to their hardcore rave roots on their latest album.
I’ve had an exclusive listen to Invaders Must Die, out next March, and can confirm it’s a thundering return to the Essex caners’ best.

It’s the first album for almost five years from LIAM HOWLETT and Co and it echoes their career-best collection, 1994’s Music For The Jilted Generation.

Those of a nervous disposition should steer clear — tracks like Omen, Thunder, and Take Me To The Hospital are pulverisingly heavy.

The disc packs a wallop in its brief 40 minutes — and is a welcome return to form.

I like the fact, that each of the reviewers picked up altogether different tracks, so it looks like the album is not gonna be any "two hits, the rest is lame" stuff :-D

I have just had a reply from Gordon Smart who's the Sun's Bizarre main editor/ writer as this was also in the newspaper on Fri.
I asked whether he could write a proper review I could add onto the site, but after checking

Quote:
"Sadly the full version has disappeared from the system. Shame. Here is
what I have left on my 'puter...
Credit Carl Stroud for the review. He works on Biz and heard it."


:( Gutted. Worth a try though...


Credit to Carl Stroud for the review above.
