 No Tourists... is substantially better than TDIME, the tracks are more inspired and manage to shake off, albeit not completely, that truly annoying aura of self-parody.

 No Tourists, a maxi EP disguised as an album, hastily packaged to bulk up the band’s playlist in anticipation of their tour.

No Tourists by The Prodigy improves on their previous album with more inspired tracks but still carries a sense of self-parody and repetition. The album draws heavily from past works and 90s techno rave influences, yet some tracks fall flat or feel rushed. Collaborations add sporadic highlights, but overall, it feels like a maxi EP made to support their ongoing world tours rather than break new ground. Fans can still enjoy its energy, but don't expect major surprises. Listen to No Tourists and explore The Prodigy’s energized mix of nostalgia and fresh beats!

 Simply, I don’t know... is it like an album??

 It’s the testimony of a drunk who, instead of ending up off the road, hits the guardrails on both sides, swerves a lot, and once home, masks his Guinness-like hangover by telling it to the world as a perpetual mushroom trip.

The review offers a thoughtful and somewhat skeptical evaluation of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.
