Soloman Tump Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hnmm heard Nasty a few times now and its kinda grown on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Yeah, hard to really get excited about The Prodigy these days, it's certainly been downhill since Fat of the Land (which I did still enjoy.) Always Outnumbered had a couple decent singles (Girls, Spitfire) but mainly fell a little flat overall. Invaders was pretty cheesy garbage so I really don't know what to feel about this one. I think it all went wrong when keith turned into sid vicious tbqh There's definitely a bit of truth to that it would seem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovalainenFanBoy Posted January 26, 2015 Share Posted January 26, 2015 New single It's... alright I guess, better than Nasty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghOsty Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Better than "Nasty" I guess, but the vocals are really cheesy/kinda awful in a try-hard "edgy" kinda way. "The day is my enemy, the night is my freind" ... really? sounds so jr. high-ish. Would be better without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tec Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 An improvement on Nasty but most things are, and it will be tons of fun live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be better without them.It may just be that they're trying to appeal to the same audience that made them so big with their previous albums - i.e. your aformentioned jr. high-ish types. We're just getting too old for them ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually quite like that tune, it's a good "party song" for people who don't dig techno that much I guess ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Nah, its just stupid shit. Prodigy is just rave music, I'm not sure why anyone is expecting Liam to do anything else? What's he gonna do, release an IDM album or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveGlitcher Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd love some straight up rave stuff from the Prodigy rather than this big beat stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YEK Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 I'd love some straight up rave stuff from the Prodigy rather than this big beat stuff. i mean, i'd dance to it at a festival type scenario but i wouldn't listen to it while eating my breakfast.

What's he gonna do, release an IDM album or something? at least to be as good as his past stuff.

mcbpete Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Yeah, I mean 20 years ago he was able to kick stuff out as good as this - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0M_o-SRPbd0 (weird to hear it properly: it's been my ring tone for the last 6 months so flinch at that opening break in order to grab my phone) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennylogg Bubblebath Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Fuck me, the vocal sample on that new track gets on my tits. Still a marginally better tune than Nasty though, I suppose. Unreal listening to 3 Kilos. What happened Liam?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aphex_Squarepusher_Twin Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 i love the prodigy, except Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned otherwise, this last album... not going to be a success... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purlieu Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Sounds like an AONO song if it had been done with Invaders Must Die production. Actually listenable, unlike Nasty, but not very inspiring. Just lacking any real kind of energy. I know artists get criticised for 'mellowing' and 'maturing' as they go on, but I always see that as an admission that they no longer have the urgency and energy they did when they were young 'uns discovering the world and with no responsibility. It also ties into the whole "we're so dark" thing, it seems so try-hard, and in an attempt to hide the fact that the music really isn't dark. Certainly not when you compare it to this beast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H4mVecwflO4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah me too, the string sound he used all through Jilted Generation is amazing. He used the Roland W30 sampler workstation, I remember reading that it was a big deal for him for doing strings because it could make them loop really easy. I really miss those 90's strings in modern music, no one uses them anymore. The new tracks sound plain and boring: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
