#27 On a new album

Of music that is.

I am talking about The Prodigy's new album, Invaders Must Die.
It kicks ass, serious ass.

I think personally that it's taken them back to what they used to be, that's probably helped by the fact that this album features all three of the band members, which is the first time since 1997 or something.

The album as a whole (especially the first few tracks) give you a sense of The Prodigy in their essence, that hardcore in-your-face, skirting the edge of god-knows-what kind of sound. What I particularly like about this album is the way the bass pulls you in instead of throwing you back out (listen to Omen for a real good example of this).
Now yeah, I've always been a huge fan of electronic music, but this album appeals to me in so many ways, the pounding bass (it's a very bass orientated album) and those dirty synth sounds, to name a couple.
I mean, sure, it's got a few ok songs, but I <3 7/11 of the tracks, and it's a very listenable album (although I'm sure Joe would disagree, since he seemingly cannot listen to things I recommend all the way through). it also makes very good driving music, and I would definitely expect to hear Invaders Must Die featured on dancefloors and films alike in the coming year.

I would not however, recommend it to those of you who love the mainstream, Prodigy have stayed true to form, and pumped out 11 tracks of non-conforming, urban disrupting, get your neighbours angry sort of music.
The people I would recommend it for:

• People who appreciate good music (no matter the genre)
• People who love their bass
• People who still arn't too old to stick it to the man (30 year olds and above, that's you)
• Prodigy fans (ofc)
• People who love that underground sound
• People who like drum and bass (It's not a drum and bass album, but it has similar lines)
• People who love their electronic music

And if you don't fit into any of those categories, give it a go anyway. Just 'casue I like it so much, and if you don't like it, fair doo's. At least you tried it.

So that's my (sorta)review on Invaders Must Die. If I had to give it a mark out of ten, it'd get a 9.

So that is what has been keeping me occupied for the most part this week, and rightly so. Well that, and /b/

So yeah, keep safe out there people
