As an Oldschool fan of The Prodigy sound, i,like many other big fans were disturbed by Liam's new album. It's ok, in such way that's its a new album.but remember that Liam created THE oldschool sound back in the day, and everytime he made something fresh that inspired a lot of musicians. nowadays a lot of different sounds are made and it's terribly difficult to come with something fresh. well.. he did it in some kind of way, but still the old stuff is indeed nostalgic. BUT, i went to a Prodigy gig in the Heinenken Music Hall in Amsterdam. and i guess that turned my view of the new album. it were really breathtaking to see those guys on stage. even more to HEAR there new album live(allright semi-live). it was totally different,with many unheard material and different mixes of there latest songs. and i guess that evening in december made me relive the prodigy feeling in a new,but less fresh way.
and don't forget those folks are in there 30s! there not as flexible and die-hard as they used to be.
