"The Prodigy is about the beats" reads the biography included with The Proidgy's first release since 1997,Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned. Needless to say, that one, simple, sentence not only highlights the strength of this album, but makes the weakness more apparent at the same time. The electro-punk synths and samples at times become simply noise in the background to the beats Liam Howlett has devoted so much attention to. However, this album still strongly signals The Prodigy's return to their original glory.

there are two excellent tracks in there. 'Hot Ride' and 'Medusa's Path'. The rest didn't impress me that much

Most albums are lucky to have one good tune, let alone two

Liam Howlett is great.

The Prodigy's older stuff was ALL really good--Jilted Generation was outstanding, very little filler on Fat Of The Land either. I have to agree with Method on this one--Always Outnumbered was good not so much.

Jilted Generation has at times been left in the CD player for days at a time...

I got the poison.

I got the remedy.

I got the pulsating rhythmical remedy
