according to the preview just posted above this is going to be TDIME part 2. Same guitars, same style of beats, sameness all the way.

Call me moaner but this is more of the same. Anyway, I'll be happy to change my opinion tomorrow in case I'm mistaken

ps- why the hell don't they change the logo? it's been 10 years so far.



Which song of TDIME does this remind you? this is The prodigy, so of course it will remind you of ehmm the prodigy.. its not like its going to sound like Justin Bieber.. its like saying "god damnit, justin biebers voice sounds exactly like his previous album, Buhu"

Moaning is fine, if it makes sense sir, yours make 0 sense.

Please let us know what you think tomorrow, its very very important for us to know about your HONEST opinion, because if you likeit, i might get to like it too... so i really hope you will like it.



for "us"...so you speak not in your name but in the name of some sort of community (real fans, fanboys and idol praisers) who cannot stand reading a criticism? respect my opinion, that's what forums are all about, aren't they?

and yes, this sounds like...erm, the prodigy...prodigy IMD-TDIME era because, according to that short snippet, it's the same fucking guitar sound with distortion and the same beats...maybe the tune will be alright in the end but this is not a movement forward production-wise, just another bangerzzzz attempt (which might work, who knows...)

we have seen how relevant Nasty and Need Some 1 have become in the history of electronic music, haven't we?

there is some thruth what jonyintheplace says. i agree and disagree.

LUTS lives is the same block as wall of death or track the day is my enemy. same agressive, mad type of guitar'ish sound.

but also it has fresh side to it. cool acid influence etc.

like previous two albums, i'm sure we are going to hear different kind of tracks. i'm not surprised new album has familiar feel (soundscape) to IMD and TDIME.

there was pre AONO prodigy and is post AONO prodigy. it is what it is. enjoy.

Glad the wait is almost over! Had a shitty feeling we were going to be waiting until the end of next month for one more track then the album. Maybe we'll get another before it's released too with this being out shortly.

Realistically, which artists/bands have seen their sound evolve dramatically passed a certain age?

It's not realistic to expect The Prodigy to re-invent electronic music in 2018. It would be cool if they did... I guess...? But they are not trend setters anymore.
Or should they follow trends? I'd rather not have dub-step Prodge, nah.

Bands tend to cater to their fans over time. It's perfectly acceptable and normal.

I never heard anyone say that The Rolling Stones redefined their sound 25 years later. Or The Beastie Boys. Or Aerosmith.
Or Miley Cyrus... Wait no, Miley Cyrus did redefine her style. Not sure about that either way though.

I also don't expect them to be game-changers anymore, the novelty is gone, we all see that, but on the other hand what I think he's doing is to repeat the same formula over and over again, the funk is gone, the rave-ish sounds are a shadow of what they were during the 91-94 period and the punk guitars with distortion and the syncopated beats have been way too similar since the Wake The Fuck Up era (2006)

What you're saying is you would have liked them to keep one of the previous formulas instead of the current one. Sure, I wouldn't have minded that but it's too late I'm afraid.

To keep being more actual, they should do more active collaborations with contemporary artists, like what Morello is doing right now, which is very cool.

A collab with Ho99o9 could be quite interesting for example.

Am I allowed to state my opinion that I'm not feeling this track? Or will I be crucified and abolished to the subforums for having an opinion?

I'm curious what's on the album, that's for sure.
Need Some1 is more of the same IMD, TDIME, bit it seems to be better mixed.
The LUTS snippers are sounding promising.

In also prefer the older work, experience, MFTJG and FOTL. Those 3 are masterpieces and changed electronic musical forever.
AONO had some good tunes on it, as does IMD and TDIME, but the last two are written for live..

I was hoping that No Tourists would have some more depth to it, but NS1 lacks that, and my guess is that the whole album is again "more of the same", nice tracks, but nothing that would shake the world.. The track times says enough, 3 minutes of energy, that's it..

I think Resonate will be the banger of the album.. that one track that will Stay in my playlist for more years..

I still got my hopes up for a "experience revisited" someday.
The Experience in a new jacket, half of the tracks are already done..


Well... Still buzzed for what is coming!

New instagram snippet without these terrible pitched vocals and stupid melody sounds very good.

the fat of the land changed them for better or for worse.
liam started learning way more synthesis and that shows with aono.

it's basically because he changed up his production technique a fuck tonne, i mean always out numbered was HUGELY electronic, you wouldn't think it's the same group that wrote fotl

with invaders they kinda refound certain elements but they're still trying to be some electronic punk hybrid. either way, looking forward to this release!

It won't be worse. At least it has nice 90's rave acid sounds, and not those annoying EPM sirenes like Need Some1. The one thing that could go wrong, if it is a Copy/Paste track like Need Some1 Let's hope not. I have some hopes for this one. Let's see if Boom Tap would be the B-side for this aswell, ha...

Is this if you pre-ordered the album or is free?

Can't log in to the store atm.
