The rest of their songs use too much looping and repetitive beats. Plus, they seem to overcompensate for their lack of creativity with a ridiculous image -- remember Keith?

Keith Flint did not have a ridiculous image! He had the epitomal image of the 90s british raver!

They may have lost their mass of appeal, but their music is still original, the Always Outnumbered album was different, definitely, but the rave scene and their audience had changed, I think it was fitting for the time it was released.

They've got a new single out called 'Omen', it's released in the UK, around the begining of Febuary. You can hear it on Xfm, the first play was on there.

I'm looking forward to the rest of the album, I don't think its going to be visionary, but its certainly catchy!
