The Prodigy - Best Material Yet??

After listening to the new material by The Prodigy, I can't wait for the release of their new album "Invaders Must Die" In my opinion it could be their best yet! What is everyone elses opinion? Their new single "Omen" is out soon, you can vote for the video now at www.myspace.com/mtvtwo If you like the new single vote now, if it hits the top spot I'll know they're onto a winner!!

I haven't heard the new album, but the comments I've heard from those that have, aren't good

Ive heard 3 0r 4 tracks, and whilst they are good, the great thing about the Prodigy was that they were INNOVATIVE! When I first heard Charley back in 1990, Id literally never heard anything it before.

Same with Firestarter- pretty amazing to hear for the first time. A song that is clearly metal, but also a total dance record! Brilliant!

They are no longer innovative- their new stuff may be good but it doesnt have the WOW factor...

Not their best material yet......but strong.
Stronger than they've been for a long time.

I really like their new stuff.
I like both of their new singles from the album, although 'Omen' even if I do like it very much, seems to be a bit too mainstream sounding for my tastes compared to their very best stuff. Sometimes they go a bit like that when they try to do the rock 'singy' thing.
Funnily enough I think they tend to capture the energy of rock when they're less rocky if you know what I mean.

I'd say that their new stuff sounds more oldschool than they have done for a very long time. It sounds very much somewhere between the 'Experience' album and the 'Music for a Jilted Generation' album.

Personally I think they lost a bit of something for 'Fat of the Land' which although very succesful commercially, for me had lost its edge compared to their previous two albums. It just felt a bit too clean and mainstream for me, although it did have some great songs on it such as Narayan.

I think that The Prodge are at their best with music around the 'Experience' era.

My favourite ever song by The Prodigy is quite possibly 'Weather Experience', although they have some very good ones to choose from.
I also think songs such as 'Full Throttle' and 'Rhythm of Life' are really good examples of the essence of The Prodigy when they're at their Prodigy best.

But I really do like their new stuff. A step in the right direction from the two singles I've heard.
I expect their new album will probably do very well.
Their new stuff has a clarity and energy which isn't as muddy as some of their stuff has been since 'Fat of the Land'.

So not their best material yet, but still good.
The more they feel a bit like their Oldschool Hardcore flavour felt like the more they deliver (For me), and I think the new stuff, from what bits I've heard, is leaning more towards that. Which is a good thing.

You joined Digital Spy just to say that? Which one are you, Keith or Maxim? I'm assuming Liam has better things to do.

I haven't heard any of their new stuff but if it's as good as Fire or Everybody In The Place then I'll be very pleased.

The Omen is superb! But i still dont think they can get much better than the legendary ones - Smack my Bitch up, Breathe, Firestarter, And Poison .. Oo and Girls!!

Just listened to their new album, it's OK but a bit samey - just like the last two albums.

Omen is probably the best although that may just be down to familiarity.

Stand Up is a bit different and features some funky horns - perhaps they like Mark Ronson? Also sounds a bit acid house with lots of squelching halfway through.

Warriors Dance should be a single, it features a sample from a well known 90's dance anthem. I won't say any more so it's a surprise when you do hear it.

Forward to 1:40 of World's On Fire and you could almost be back in 1992!

Apart from those highlights the rest is average.

Heard the new album a few times now and have to say I think it's superb, it's a real grower though, only started to get into my head on the second listen..
