It's bloody AWFUL. Why do they keep pissing on their legacy? Much more of this trash and even your great early albums will be ignored because you'll be such a joke.

thank god, i didn't realise there were still people out there who appreciated the beauty of experience. there's nothing worse than seeing a band you once idolised become top of the pops/woolworths wank fodder; except when you also see them get bigger and bigger with each shitty release, and new 'fans' have no clue about the origins of the band and their early material. when they came out they were raw, underground, with a great sound and the right mentality for the rave scene and the music they were making. when i was a kid it was the first album i heard that wasn't cheesy kylie minogue-esque run of the mill pop, saying and doing something different, inventive and sounding great. if this album had come out then i would have absolutely positively stuck the stock aitken waterman back on

"White Widow Wanker" you are Keith Flint and trying to defend this shitty album on here is just making you look like a massive twat.

wonkeykong, its not younger people's fault that they werent born when the prodigy first came out! i really like their stuff, new and old, but i don't think we deserve to be berated purely because we werent there 'when it all kicked off and they were yno soo much cooler'

samjennings, you're right, it is no-ones fault when they are born but ranting and raving about post-fat of the land albums and rating prodigy as one of their fave artists and not bothering to listen to experience or music for the jilted generation, as many 'new' prodigy fans from after the days of firestarter do is indefensible. i personally recommend experience to any prodigy fan i meet, and very few bother to give it a spin. its a lazy attitude from lazy music fans, its what killed real hiphop (wu tang etc) and let people like t pain blow up. we had a great scene in the uk in early to mid 90s (which a lot of i only discovered in recent years) of bands like orbital, leftfield, underworld, prodigy etc.....it was an underground scene that was still highly respected by those that followed it, what prodigy have done is sell-out and that goes completely against the rave mentality from which they were spawned
