Prodigy - Genius or Pathetic? (electronic, drum, bass, album)

I am a fan of theirs! Their new album sounds pretty good imo. There is a good mashup called Smack My Derb which is just their song Smack My Bitch Up with Derb's song Derb. It's not for everyone but if you like hardstyle, it's great!

Their newer album gets back to their roots a little bit, which is really cool. But I never stopped liking them. Their style adapted as the years went on, which is awesome.

Prodigy have more very good songs

I'm gonna listen to it tonight, while I'm running

I sure am curious

Damn straight.

The first two albums were amazing. Slowly but surely, like most dance acts, they went into the gutter.

Hmmm, indeed, a good analogy...

I was rather surprised by the generally unfavourable press for the new album, "Invaders Must Die". While it isn't perfect, and although I imagine I'll only listen to it when the mood takes me, I don't find it nearly as tired or pathetic as many popular reviewers did. Interestingly, much of the criticism seemed to be directed towards the fact that the band are too old to still be making this sort of music. Which is to say I detected that many of the reviewers were vaguely scandalised by the notion that "The Prodigy" are still producing aggressive, heavy bass-inflected dance tracks, despite the fact that they are in their forties. It seems to me that these reviewers are slightly embarrassed by the fact that THEY have matured gracefully into their late thirties and early forties, and that their tastes have changed towards music that is subtler and more complex than that produced by the Prodigy, but that they USED to listen to this in their "youth". Ha ha.

I saw them live at the Big Day Out this year and I thought they were pretty good performance-wise.

How was the good ol' Big Day Out This year? I miss that whole summer vibe in Australia... having been born there and living there for some 30 years... and yes to coin a corny phrase, I still call it home...
