Ah ah ah... This album has randomly fallen into my hands, and I'll be one of the first to review it! (It releases on August 23)
Notice: this, as many might have already guessed, is NOT my genre, but I know a bit about this group (especially thanks to their image as wild punk), so don't jump on me right away if you don't agree with my personal judgment...
"Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned" (title taken from the famous novel by Walter Mosley), that is, the long-awaited return of the Prodigy, after the success of The Fat Of The Land a good 7 years ago (!) is almost in all record stores, and in my opinion, it will not disappoint their fans, even if it seems a bit different from the previous one, as it references their past works more.
An album made of numerous collaborations (The Ping Pong Bitches in "Girls" which will be the first single, Princess Superstar in "Memphis Bells", Kool Keith, the one who sang "Smack My Bitch Up" and "Diesel Power", in "Wake Up Call", the actress Juliette Lewis in "Hotride" and Liam Gallagher from Oasis in "Shoot Down"), which presents interesting beats and yet doesn't have songs like "Breathe" or "Baby's Got A Temper" but instead reverts to "Smack My Bitch Up" or "Vodoo People" in a more mature version. Most of the songs are repetitions of phrases seasoned with strong bases, "Get Up Get Off" (which is one of the few that features verses and chorus) is a good song.
As mentioned, I believe this work will not disappoint fans, but it didn't impress me much, perhaps because I was hoping for a strong punk influence that had captivated Keith Flint last year with his band "Flint"; instead, it just made me want to dance (after all, that's what the genre requires).

An album to listen to with 3-4 great tracks and some others at least interesting and curious: but where are Keith and Maxim?
With britpop dead and grunge eclipsed, it was Keith Flint's terrifying face dominating the charts with the pounding sound of big hits like "Firestarter".
By GATTINATOR
Definitely a mediocre work and the weakest series of unreleased tracks they’ve ever made!
The best songs are the ones sung by the ladies... but overall it still remains a sort of techno and electroclash jam.
