Tracks that were brilliant, or at least better in the beginning, that got ruined by too much production:

Trigger
Baby's got a temper
Get ur fight on
Back 2 skool
World's on fire
Unstoppable
Need some1
Medicine
AWOL
Rok-weiler

I remember back in the day, it was more or less Liam's slogan, ''to keep it fresh'', and he scrapped AONO v.1, because he did not want Fat Of The Land p2. Now he did 3 albums in a row, that sounds so much a like. I do like a few of the tracks from the last 3, but they're definitly not up there, with his creative first 3. I don't like the fast d&b tracks, or the dubstep style tracks. I miss the breakbeats, the acid, and the atmospheric 7-8 minute brainf#ck tracks. Those kinda tracks you don't need drugs to enjoy, but tracks like Roadblox & Champions of London, you need drugs!...

I do not get my hopes high with new music in 2024. As people already said, he says this every year. I am also not as excited as I used to be, because I have been disappointed since 2004, apart from Invaders, which I enjoyed a lot at the time. I just hope we get more of the stuff I miss + that f#ckin Benny Blanco track. I need a studio version of this! Also some of the scrapped tunes like ''Frequencies'', ''Stab'', ''Dogbite'', ''Dust yo self'', ''We Do What We Want'' in some new forms. Well, let's see what happens, or not happens...

What special do guys expect or hope to Be released or done by The Prodigy because of The 30th birthday of The truly awesome MFTJG album this year?

I Hope they Will somehow Make something special because IT was and still IS their groundbreaking and breakthrough masterpiece.

Excellent post.

If only we'd get studio versions of those Pre-AONO-release website loops. Anyone remember those?
The ingenuity and production wizardry of FOTL, imprinted with a fresh sonic vibe.

All music ever since carried the handwriting of someone telling himself "I'm bored of this studio shit" a couple of times too often.

Agreed. It was such an exciting direction. The lack of positive reception for AONO had him convinced it's a shit album, coupled with the fact it was made at a time that wasn't great for the band, plus being dropped by XL right after. And here we are!

Got thinking last night about new music or a new album for this year as per Liams comments in December. Yes, take them with. Pinch of salt given statements in the past but if he right then for an album you need a 3 month lead up generally from announcement (which the band have always done historically) sometimes more.

That leaves now a window of March - Sept for an announcement , given there’s no way he’d release an album in December.


It normally coincides with a UK Tour in winter so my guess is an announcement no later than the summer, like NT was.

I am of the same opinion, if by the end of the holidays Liam does not write an entry on social media with the name of the album, release date, etc., there will be no album this year... I think that if something happens this year, Liam will announce it in July, maximum in August, similarly to NT
