Really? Spitfire and Omen are up there with the best tracks Liam has ever written. Both in the Top 10 for me.

I don’t get all the love for Spitfire lately. A lot of people here are praising it. I didn’t remember people loving it when the album came out. The album version is bad and the single version is ok.

On the other hand people are dissing Take Me to the Hospital and Warriors Dance for some reason even thou people loved them when IMD came out. TMTTH is the only post TFOTL single to make my top list.

The Day is my Enemy (Liam H Re-amped version) for the next single please.

Agree to all of that. Except the "95%"-thingie. Stuff like Poison, Climbatize, SMBU, Narayan, Weather Experience, 3 Kilos, Mindfields etc. are all but repetitive. Actually, that's what I like in Prodigy and the Chems and so - they weren't as repetitive as some of the straighter electronic acts and (-though I love it:) most D&B tracks. There were song structured tunes (verse/chorus) and there were build-up tracks and both were mostly quite imaginative. Some tracks though, are a little repetitive in structure. TDIME, for example, or Fuel My Fire or Death Of The Prodigy Dancer.

We all like different things.

this, I always found spitfire a wannabe prodigy tune. It tries to be SMBU but has none of the clever bits.
But, I also don't get the hate for omen, as it is together with thunder and standup the tunes that standup to the older tracks for me. And the same goes for Hotride.

Very funny, indeed.

It is ok to like it bro.The problem with Omen i think is that it is different than the ''usual'' Prodigy sound but not in a good way.Too comercial,melodic and weak beats.

Dont forget the super lame lyrics.

There is one thought that came into my head and lay down in the first minute of the first repeat - Liam reiterated his story from the beginning of his career. He annihilated the sound from all around us and himself. He disassembled it into components: musical styles, samples, ideas and achievements of modern producers (and likely some real power of the land), gathered it all together and squeezed out the FAAAAT! For instance, jerking off with this synth at 0:55s - it's 100% Skrillex or whatever ... and Liam takes this fucking sound and puts it in his track, and not just copy it, he steals it, takes it for himself. Like, "okay thank you kids, now come to daddy!"

Or shall we say "the main dubstep saw" with distortion - how many times have we heard it already? But for fuck sake, Liam takes it and finds the most charged atoms in this sound and combines it with the perfect match. It was also the same story with Voodoo People, B & E, SMBU, the entire Experience album – he didn’t invent those styles, but took from them what charged him and pimped it as only he on this planet could.

Or just how badass should you be to use these fucking severe, combat drums from Top Secret Drum Corps! Well they just fucking hammer! This bombastic march unleashes primitive instinct. Recommended for dictatorship! It goes without saying Liam has electrified them up until the limits of the waveform.

I am with those who are already bringing mayhem on the dancefloor when they think about live gigs! Just imagine one of the main (with the meaning of the largest) electronic festivals, such as Ultra (just to remind you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TlJWoM69ww), and there is Tiesto, Van Buren, Skrillex playing their shit (not everything is always shit, but in average). People jumping, everyone is happy and stuff. Then these motherfuckers go backstage, fuck around, drink beer. And here! begins this drumbeat, looped for some time for proper build up... And then GET DOWN! Female vocals, acid synth, hard bass - all who do not know what it is, and those who were fucking waiting for it, those who are behind the stage and those with t&a in their hands - all burst into a terrible storm of human bodies! All the fucking punks at this point begin bouncing off each other like electrons! It's a damn track in terms of slam capacity! And the whole 60k rave hears as the result something akin to everything that they had just listened beforehand, only uncompromised by the ability and somehow immediately clear who's the real daddy here, and who is a dick-usb-stick. brilliant. The Prodigy sends a menacing march for all imitators to shit and shoot themselves.

In addition, I note the fact that the track is slow, sweeping and in this is its beauty. This rhythm creates a sense of grandeur, mass. In my opinion, The Day Is My Enemy is the most similar to the mixture of Their Law and SMBU + electronic music after 1998.

Now, the main intrigue for me - what will be on the album?! If there is at least one equally grand track, and the rest is at the level of Nasty/Rockweiler = we have a new wave of fanaticism. Huge Blast!

Yeah but sometimes it happens to like weaker songs.For example others like Omen,others Nasty and i like The way it is because i like Michael Jackson's thriller.At least we should have the ''maturity'' to understand that these are weaker songs compared to others no matter if they are favourite songs. Otherwise everyone will start to say that Fuel my fire is better than Poison or Voodoo ect ect.

Do you mean weak as in soft? So 3 kilos is weak? If you mean song quality and depth and production than I still would count Omen as one of their stronger tracks. Modern day production, great melody and best vocal performance by maxim (he actually can sing). Spitfire is a weak track by those standards...just a beat and simple melody, not comparable with their law or any older classic.

It still comes down to taste and, what standards are we imposing here?
If you mean, the best beat/break, then we can say the whole IMD album was shit.

i think you really cant measure art. you can measure maybe how high do people jump/mosh on live gig to some track, u can measure clicks on youtube, sale numbers other then that..... ITS ALL BULSHITT

It is easier to judge/measure a song than a painting. Once there was an art gallery opening and there was a live ''excibit'' if i write it correctly. There was a man with his cock in a watermellon. Yeah it is not a scientific fact that Smack is better than The way it is but you know what i mean.
