only listened to the whole thing once so far, but pretty much as expected, there's a few wicked tunes and the rest not so much.
i'd been looking forward to warriors dance since watching a live video last year, and it doesn't disappoint :applause
the last track is really uncharacteristic and a welcome surprise. love it.

I like warriors dance, but the rest sounds like they just put some left-overs together..
to scared to go all out with the early 90 rave, but not wanting to step into the new punky genre everybody seems to like.

the rave bleeps and rifs sound a bit simple to me.
ah well.

oh, and the remixes i heard aren't that good as wel :P

Are you sure you've got the actual album, or the fake that's been going round the internet? :P

it's not the "tribute/fan remixes" thing that's been around for a few months. the actual album leaked the other day. reckon it might not be the final retail version tho, the mastering is a bit iffy on some tracks.

the version I've heard (just snippets of) doesn't put my hopes up, but I'll wait for retail...

First 3 tracks are simply stunning, 'Omen' is my record of the year so far, I LOVE it... Proper return to form and SO much better than the last album Liam churned out.

I have heard the 'pre-release' fakes out there and having heard the proper thing now, the actual album is a lot better. Granted, some of it grates a little, but there are flashes of brilliance in there too... Prodigious brilliance :D

Hi Paul Bolstridge here!!! Some of you will remember me (i hope!) I've not been on for ages (wasn't able to log in anymore and couldn't be arsed to re-register).

Anyway here I am!

The new Prodigy album is pure excellence!!! From beginning to end this album rocks! A big improvement over AONO (I think I was one of the only people on here that liked it!)

Stand out tracks for me are:

Invaders must Die
Omen (Love it!Love it!Love it!)
Thunder( :D )
Take me to the hospital
Warriors dance (Love it!Love it!Love it!)
World's on fire (Love the live version on the dvd)

I've listened to it so many times, simply stunning!!!

Thank you Prodigy :applause

As a day one, die hard Prodge fan, I was SO let down by 'Outnumbered...' it wasn't funny... I must admit, I first heard 'Invaders' as a single track when round at Phil's and was only half listening to it, so didn't really get into it, but hearing 'Omen' several times really kicked the love back in and I have to say that 'Omen' is one of the best tracks I've heard for a long time, period.

Current stanout tracks for me are:

Invaders Must Die
Omen (although I prefer the single version, better percussion)
Thunder
Take Me To The Hospital
Warrior's Dance

It's not a faultless album, the bonus tracks are a little slack, but on the whole it's a pretty damn cool collection of music with a proper, return to the old school 'Experience' feeling...

It's an Omen... ;)

i really like Thunder, Take Me to the Hospital and Omen / Omen Reprise.

The rest not so much, pretty forgettable party music IMO, but probably good on the dance floor. Still, it's clearly better than the last album!

Let's hope they do another one that's got a 'Jilted Generation' feeling then. 8)

Agreed with the above comments - I'm currently listening to this albbum non-stop at the moment - favourite tracks Thunder and Warrior Dance (at the moment), although Invaders Must Die, Omen and Hospital are not that far behind....

As for Always Outnumbered, that hardly ever gets a play these days - the only track that I really liked off that one was Spitfire - the rest was cack... :twisted:
