They even released a new single a few months back, called Baby's got a temper... Unfortunately it's horribly disappointing. If you think The Prodigy made *any* progress since The Fat of the Land was released in '97, you're wrong. This new song could have been one of the worst songs on The Fat of the Land back then and they *might* have gotten away with it... Now it's just a painful parody on themselves, on their past successes... They have even used a sample from Firestarter, of all their hits maybe the one that got played to death the most! I'm sure that some people will probably don't care about all that, but to me, The Prodigy was best during Experience (from '92 I think), which is one of the few rave/breakbeat albums which are still listenable anno 2002... And that had always been their best feature, being progressive and catchy enough at the same time to please both the musical simpletons (let's call them the Top 40 followers, waddaya mean I'm a snub [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) and the more serious music followers. The Fat of the Land wasn't that brilliant as their previous albums, but it was okay in its time... But to fall back on it 5 years later is horribly disappointing and The Prodidy unworthy. I wish they never released it in the first place.
Now let's just hope the upcoming album won't be as disastrous as Baby's got a temper, though...
