4.0 out of 5 stars It sounds a lot like their old albums. A real lot., March 2, 2009

By	Mike (NYC) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I suspect you're going to read some reviews of this album that say it sounds suspiciously like their old albums. It does. This raises an interesting problem. Fans of the band or 90s punk techno will probably really like the album. It sounds a lot like Prodigy from their 2 classic albums. Some modern techno fans will undoubtedly think it sounds dated though as this sound is no longer fashionable.

The album's good. It stands up to the band's best work. No one ever complained that the Ramones released the same album 4 times. I don't see why we should fault this band for not radically changing their style.

If you're looking for a startlingly innovative techno album, look somewhere else. This is a very solid and well produced punk/techno party or workout album. Is it a throwback to 1995? Yep, you bet. Is it wildly unoriginal at times? Yep. Is it well-produced? Oh dear God, yes. Is it good? Affirmative.

Think: Music for the Jilted Generation meets Fat of the Land. If you don't know those albums (I know that was a decade or so ago) - think Sex Pistols meets Rave. yes, really.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Return Of The Prodigy, April 6, 2009

By	C. M. Gillum (Michigan) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Invaders Must Die (Audio CD)

Length:: 3:18 Mins

Prodigy have long been off the top of the charts but they finally manage to come back and garner attention across the globe. Catchy tracks such as "Smack My ***** Up" and "Firestarter" were what captivated the world the first time around when The Prodigy released their to date best selling album The Fat of the Land. They have since experimented quite a bit and fell off the radar a bit and even alienated some fans, but the boys are back and in fine form.

'Invaders Must Die' reminds me of The Fat of the Land in that it's songs are catchy yet hold enough originality to not come off as the band trying their hardest to get back in the spotlight. The albums first two singles 'Omen' and the album's title track are exactly what the band needed to push the album beyond their UK fan base. Both songs border on popish Techno but push their original style enough to set them apart, 'Omen' is in my opinion one of Prodigy's most mature and addictive tracks to date.

The music on IMD keeps a fast beat beginning to end and each track stands on it's own. The major difference between IMD and the rest of their discography is that vocals are much more prominent on IMD then previous releases, almost every track has singing or vocals of some sort. "Colours" has a chorus that will probably be heard on dance floors world wide for years and is also one of my personal favorites on the album. Also I would advise getting your hands on an imported version as they come with some amazing bonus tracks.

All in all in my humble opinion this is The Prodigy's best release and is easily the most accessible to a wide range of music lovers. New fans of the group definitely need to check out their older material but be cautious as this album stands out against the gritty more experimental sound of earlier releases. Old fans may be a bit alienated due to the extreme contrast to previous albums but I think most will appreciate Invaders Must Die as much as I do. Be sure to check out the video for Omen that I included with my review, it's their best video to date. Thanks for reading and I hope my review has helped your choice to purchase this album.

-A loyal Prodigy fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning return to form., March 3, 2009

By	Mr. David Griffiths - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I must admit to buying this purely on the basis that it was $1.99
I was beginning to think The Prodigy were on their way to the bargain bin shortly after each new album release since Fat of the Land.
Wow! Am I sorely mistaken, and this must be a clever marketing ploy to get former fans back in on the act so to speak.
This album is absolutely STUNNING. It's a simple as that.
This is The Prodigy. And they want you to know it form the initial 'Invaders Must Die' track. "We are the Prodigy" it shrieks.
I know.
And then there's Omen.
It's coming in spades. This track is a killer. "The writing's on the Wall" Keith screams. It certainly is.
No wonder this album FLEW in at Number 1 in the UK. They have a hard core legion of fans who will see this as a TRUE return to form. This has 2009 Festival season bombastic heroes written ALL OVER IT.
All the tracks are superb. I will not spoil your journey through this album, but I will tell you that when you get to "Take me to the Hospital" you will be begging for mercy.
Amazing guys, amazing. You have made one 30 something ex raver very very happy.
