Masters of reinvention, rave stalwarts Prodigy have undergone another remarkable facelift for their fourth album, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. For band leader Liam Howlett, this mutation was less about ambitious experimentation and more the result of crucial damage control: the band's disastrous 2002 comeback campaign, spearheaded by "Baby's Got a Temper" found the band stagnant and on the verge of self-parody. Howlett's response was to scrap the sessions, hunker down with a laptop and hammer out an album that held spontaneity as a virtue. And while the old touchstones--the propulsive breakbeats of old-skool hip-hop, the brooding menace of punk-rock and acid-house--are all here sporting a fresh chrome gleam, they're joined by new influences: everything from crunk hip-hop to Aphex Twin's "Windowlicker" bubbles beneath the surface of "Girls." Maxim and Keith Flint are absent, replaced by a bizarre roll call of stars--Liam Gallagher, Juliette Lewis, Twista--and obscurities…anyone remember the Ping Pong Bitches? Not that it matters: this is Howlett's album, and whether he's rewiring Shocking Blue's "Love Buzz" as Middle Eastern-tinged acid techno on "Phoenix" or clashing with Kool Keith on "Wake Up Call," he sounds back on top of his game. --Louis Pattison

Product Description

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is The Prodigy’s long-awaited follow-up to 1997’s double-platinum #1- charting The Fat Of The Land. Returning with a sleazy, funky and far more punk album than anything Liam Howlett has ever recorded, the premier electronica dance act for the alternative masses targets both its core fan base at clubs and a new generation of technofreaks with Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better then what people are saying..., February 21, 2006

By	J. T. Schmidt "DataScream" (Duncan, ID) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mainly because lots of people want "Fat of the Land". People need to realize that getting another "Fat of the Land" would be just that. The same album, same songs...it would basically just be like every other rock album out there, same guitars, same vocals, same of everything. Yeah this isn't a "rock" album, but others could argue that it stands twice as high on the hill then any of the other mainstream crap that comes outta the record label poopshoot nowdays. This album does exactly what Liam Howllet said it would do. It goes back to the roots of the Prodigy, bringing back the big and loud beats that "Music for the Jilted Generation" brought us. It goes back to a lot of the instrumental and sprinkled vocals we used to get from them. It doesn't have Keith Flint or Maxim, but then again THEY weren't "The Prodigy". They brought the added intensity to the live shows and in "Fat of the Land" the demented vocals that we all know. Keith and Maxim are fun to listen to of course, but it seemed to be more about them and not a lot about what the music was really doing. It's time we got to hear some new blood on a Prodigy album for once. This release is gonna catch a lot of debree from the Keith and Maxim fans, but they're still in the group. They were originally the dancers of the group, not the vocalists. But this album gets back to what Liam did best, pounding the crap out of your ears and making you scream for more raw eletronic mayhem. And he succeeds in everyway. I can't wait for the new albums that will be produced sooner or later. The Prodigy still has balls to kick the (...) outta you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Now this is what I'm talking about!, April 4, 2006

By	Damian Gunn "The Dark One is I" (I am everywhere) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

Starting off strong with the indian beats that make anything cool, 'Spitfire' is a brilliant single and an excelent way to sell this album. It sounds like a track that could have been on 'Fat of the Land' and since that is their BEST album it only makes sense that any likeness to it would sell a record. But it doesn't end there. Another favorite is 'Memphis Bells' which uses the 'bells' perfectly to create a masterpiece gone arry. The guest stars are a perfect choice, from Juliette Lewis on 'Hot Ride' and Twista (my personal favorite) spitting fury on 'Get Up Get Off'. The ode to Michael Jacksons 'Thriller' is apparent on 'The Way it Is' but Prodigy manages to make something new and different out of it, not just recycling it but acually reimagining it. 'Phoenix' is another standout track that takes advantage of the indian vibe and 'Action Radar's "a little action is all i need" will get the mood right (and is it just me or does she sound like Shirley Manson? I mean, this sounds like a track that could have come out on Garbage's 2.0) ANyways, buy this album, it's that good!
