My official review of Prodigy's new album

What it means is that I honestly think this song is worth about 4 songs really. I heard Girls for the first time when someone posted it on here a couple months before this album came out. Frankly, I could have done well without it. But come on. There's three tracks on there I actually outright despise, just because they seem to have no musical or danceable use whatsoever...
It seems Howlett's been pushed into a "style" or something like that. If there's anything this album is it's characteristic. It's too bad though because it's missing a lot of the energy and fun that they had back in the rave/techno days. Gone are the fast upbeat basslines with funky voice samples and they seem thoroughly replaced with overly distorted basslines that attempt to make up for what they lack in musical enjoyment in an attempt to create funk or something like that... sadly it comes up... lacking? I'll write more in a bit.... but yeah. Nowhere near the caliber of anything else they've done in the past. Even Fat of the Land managed to garner a couple of 5-star tracks. But nothing hear that outright grabbed me. I really had to put in the effort to try and enjoy these songs. Oh well. At least Chemical Brothers are still producing really killer tracks, so it's not that Big Beat has died out...

you can't give a proper review of a track with only a two/three playcounts. I find I go over a cd many times over before I have a real idea of what is good and what is bad. I mean, just becuase I don't take a song the first play doesnt' mean it's one star. heh

Just because my playlist says 2 or 3 doesn't mean it's actually 2 or 3.
I had a big library wipe about a month ago... On the whole the album got pretty much three solid listen-throughs and random tracks got played from time to time before then. My playlist also never takes into account my MP3 player. Seriously though... I'm still waiting for something from this CD to grab me. How many times did you have to hear Voodoo People before you decided it was awesome?

Hotride got me at first, but its effect seems to have worn off me....
Yeah. Medusa's Path had me wanting to get up and dance... I keep seeing the 45 at Virgin whenever I'm over there... maybe I should grab it next time.... Though I'd honestly rather just get the Charly/Fire single they had there.
