Invaders Must Die finds the Prodigy line-up of Liam Howlett, Keith Flint, and Maxim Reality back together on record for the first time since 2002’s ill-fated, subsequently disowned “Baby’s Got A Temper”. This doesn’t mark a return to the bad old days of punk-rave cabaret, though. No, in fact, Invaders Must Die finds The Prodigy delving even further back into their history, an attempt to recapture the heady rave vibes, one-finger keyboard riffs, and concussive breakbeats of 1992’s Experience and its epochal follow-up, 1994’s Music For A Jilted Generation. True, sometimes it feels a little too transparent in its eagerness to recapture past glories: “Thunder”, with its loping reggae vocal, is undeniably Howlett on form, but it apes the formula of 1992’s “Out Of Space” a little too closely for comfort. Still, the likes of “Omen” and “Take Me To The Hospital” are agreeably back-to-basics cuts that merge nagging melodies and fairground waltzer queasiness with a weighty production job that renders them muscular enough to compete on a level playing field with Justice, Pendulum, et al. “Run With The Wolves” is the one track that harks strongly back to Fat Of The Land, a gnarled, rocky number with Dave Grohl on live drums that finds Keith Flint claiming to be “hung like a hound”. The closing “Stand Up” is a late surprise, meanwhile, a euphoric set-closer with hints of Screamadelica-era Primal Scream. --Louis Pattison

Dross to pay a mortgage
I love The Prodigy, I have seen them live twice and they were awesome, the operative word being were.
This whole album sounds like background music to a second rate computer game, from the time when they were at their best.
Avoid. Times have changed, they haven't; they have just got older, unoriginal and blunt. Some people need to know when to call it a day.

Been a fan of the prodigy since the start. I have loved all the albums which they have produced. they are back this album is ace and has a retro feel to it. love invaders must die, omen, thunder, take me to the hospital, the worriors dance. it has a retro feel but up to date. its miles better than pendulum. ignore the reviews it is a very good album, still prefer music for the gilted generation. liam howlett, kieth flint and maxim are legends!!!!
Phenomenally BIG sound..
It's an immense, rushing WHUMP of an album, absolutely brilliant, varied, life affirming. Leaves me grinning like an idiot, especially after the atypical and deliciously upbeat last track.
