I’m not giving up on the new Prodigy album just yet.  My initial reaction of the first track, which goes by the same name as the album, was extreme disappointment.  I felt as if there was a lot of hype but little substance to the track.  Overall, it seemed “thin” and uninspired.

Truth be told, I didn’t much care for “Firestarter” when it was first released either.  I enjoy it now, but initially, it didn’t rock my world.  I still believe Firestarter doesn’t fit with the overall feel of “Fat of the Land”, and that is why I am not giving up on The Prodigy’s new album.

Well, there is some new information coming out about the album.  Let’s start with the track listing:

“Invaders Must Die”

1. Invaders Must Die
2. Omen
3. Thunder
4. Colours
5. Take Me To The Hospital
6. Warrior’s Dance
7. Run With The Wolves
8. Omen’s Reprise
9. World’s On Fire
10. Piranha
11. Stand Up

But what I find even more interesting is that Dave Grohl, of Foo Fighters fame, is providing some drum backing.  That will be very, very interesting to hear…

Finally, you can take a listen to the Prodigy’s Keith Flint talk about the new album. As with the other press going around, Flint points to the Prodigy of old:

It’s been written, Liam’s written a lot of this album. It’s buzzing, high energy and how The Prodigy used to write, and that’s got a sound about it.

We’ll see if the hype is actually worth it…If the first track is any sign, we may simply be victims to the hype.
