The Prodigy - Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned

Shut up!

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is very unawesome.

That about does it for me.

You'd probably hate Experience but be ptoentially head-blown by Jilted Generation.

No--I would just out and out dismiss it and never give it a second's thought again (if I ever even listened to it in the first place). It's a lousy record no matter how you look at it.

If you like this than there's no reason why Fat and Jilted shouldn't wallop you into the 25th century. Experience is equally awesome but in a different way.

Wasn't John Cage doing this type of thing in the 40s/50s?

i just found this in my cd's.
maybe i'll listen to it later.

It's not as bad as everyone loves to pretend it is, and "Girls" is vastly underrated.

by and large one of the wrongest threads on ilm

classic: the mashup of Breathe & Stop vs Rex the Dog's remix of of Girls that I made and played out a bunch of times in the mid-2000s
dud: the Prodigy's careers post-Breathe

This record fucking sucks.

I thought the whole Prodigy thing was fucked by this point - Howlett obviously had a creative block and didn't know which directiom to go in, Flint had let success go to his head a little bit too much, Maxim was off doing whatever the hell he was doing and the Thornhill had departed - not that this had much of an impact, mind.

*direction

I forgot this existed tbh.

I remember a friend claiming Invaders Must Die was a return to form, I didn't believe him.

a good friend 10 years my younger claims the Prodigy only really got good after Fat Of The Land. He hears Jilted Generation as sounding flat and lacking 'oomph', and (according to him) the songs take too long to get going.

he's heinously wrong of course, but it's an interesting take

I've met American Prodigy 'fans' who were unaware they had any albums before FOTL.

Sounds like your friend is coming at them from a rock rather than dance angle.

Invaders Must Die has some FANTASTIC material on it.

I don't remember the last time I played AONO, maybe that should be today's soundtrack.

otm.

Yeah I think he first encountered them as a pre-teen during the nu-metal era. Some sort of high-impact activity he was doing at the time, and one of their latter albums was the soundtrack.

both this one & Invaders are really good records. I love Fat but had very little invested in the band otherwise, the feeling I get from people who hate on later Prodigy is they have very specific if-you-grow-it-will-be-in-this-direction expectations of the band. they're basically just big-beat rock and roll albums though. that is cool w/me. they're really good big-beat rock and roll albums.
