I bought Fat of the Land when I still thought the Chemical Brothers were the epitome of electronic music. No Good (Start The Dancing) is my favourite Prodigy track. Old-skool breakbeat rave, none of that happy hardcore s***. I liked 'Casanova' a lot! but I've never listened to the new album.

Genius. Words cannot describe how much I love The Prodigy. I was made to listen to them loads when I was growing up. I should be thanking my parents for that now. I thought Keith Flint was really weird when I was young.

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is my favourite album of theirs now. I don't care if the hardcore fans think this makes me a 'poser'.

They opened with Spitfire last year and I couldn't stop smiling. And Keith Flint high-fived me. I'm practically famous.

I don't think you're a poser , although I would suggest questionable taste on this issue

As for Juliette Lewis , she shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a recording studio , let alone a recording studio with The Prodigy in it.

And my personal opinion is AONO should have come out as a Liam Howlett solo album.

Pffft, I'd rather not lie to look trendy.

The song SERIAL THRILLA is such an adrenaline rush for me. I really disliked AONO but after a while I grew into it. There are some storming beats on there. Genius? No. However I like the fact that Howlett seems to use a rock music asthetic to his dance tunes.

Neither. I have 2 of their albums and find them somewhat intriguing yet not really genius by any means.

the prodigy could go pop and still be great. They've made enough good music to concrete their status.

No trust me, the track is not good at all.

No i am saying if the prodigy made music that sounded like nsync they'd still be considered great. It would take alot of bad music for that opinion to change. They had great music from 92 to 04
