Free Music Notes for Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
Free Music Review: Prodigy come through
Hit: 5 Stars
I think that Prodigy have done what a lot of other electronica/techno acts couldn't do - reject commercialization. While it's true that we always hear songs like SMBU, Breathe and Firestarter they certainly aren't the only songs Prodigy has done. Its a breath of fresh air to NOT hear a track on AONO that sounds like this. For those of us who've heard the entire Prodigy collection this album really sounds good, and Liam did another wonderful job. You're expecting him to do another FOTL but that dream died with BGAT - these songs sound fresh and new. A couple of them kind of fizz and don't go anywhere.
1) "Spitfire" is a good solid intro track and like all the reviews say it really does bring you into things.
2) "Girls" is a true Liam track because its all about the beats and the energy behind them.
3) "Mephis Bells" is a fairly simple track and it reminds me a lot of their single "Molotov Bitch" - but the song still works fairly well.
4) "Get Up Get Off" suffers from a weak opening but picks up soon after and Twista does a really good job here too. I think he's got the perfect flow and voice for matching a Prodigy beat. Even if you can't understand everything he says its still a good track
5) "Hot Ride" is a very rock-n-roll sounding track, and Juliette Lewis does a solid vocal job on here. This track really rocks out and it'd work at a party because the beat really gets to ya.
6) "Wake Up Call" is an okay track, its not the best ever. I would've liked to see a version that had more Kool Keith vocals/rapping because in "Diesel Power" he really shined. In any case this is a good track and it's straight-to-the-point.
7) "Action Radar" isn't really a track that I can dig. The beat is okay but the vocals and the sound of it don't really do anything for me. It's not really bad, but its just not one of Liam's better tracks.
8) "Medusa's Path" is a good instrumental track that really helps to bring you back into the album after "Action Radar". Its got a good hip-hop kind of beat to it, but at the same time it sounds a lot like a Prodigy beat too.
9) "Phoenix" is a track worth skipping. The beat isn't that great, and the sample for "Love Buzz" isn't all that hot. I think that Liam should've scrapped this song from the album and given us something better because this just really brings the album down.
10) "You Will Be Under My Wheels" is a good track, simple beat and all. More important is that it pays homage to their live track "Rock N Roll" which is really good. This is a Kool Keith sample and the track gets you into the groove.
11) "The Way It Is" might be one of the most clever tracks on the album. Remaking the Michael Jackson "Thriller" bassline the track has a nice retro feel to it while at the same time feeling really moden. If the atmosphere were right you might be able to really rock this at a party. Props to Liam for doing what he did to this track.
12) "Shoot Down" is a bad remake of their track "Trigger". While "Shoot Down" isn't bad, its not a good closer and I think that Liam should've kept more of "Trigger" in there. The Gallagher collab is okay but I think that more could've been done to the track.
13) "More Girls": I'm not sure if the bonus track is on this release, but its a damn good bonus track and a good alternate version of "Girls". The beat instantly brings you in and grabs your attention. It's also cool that Liam threw in a bit of the "Little Goblin" fill that he used in the 2002 tours. Very nicely done (it might even be Maxim on the track [or Keith]). All in all this is a nice close to the album.
If you're a fan of the Prodigy and love the beats than you're going to like this album, if you're just getting into them I suggest starting at another place. All in all you should buy this CD, its a good buy.
Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned Poster
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.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
