THE REVIEW
OK, I know very well that 2 other reviews of the album in question have already been published, but I still wanted to pay tribute to The Prodigy: thanks to them, I came into contact with the rave culture and electronic music in general.
Alright, it can be certainly announced that The Prodigy are back in style after the flop "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned": you can sense it from the self-titled song. Obsessive big beat, gripping riff, and then the band's introduction ("We're The Prodigy"), as if they weren't well-known. Sure, it's not unusual for a band's comeback (after all, Rage Against The Machine did it during a reunion concert in 2007), but it always leaves an impression. Following is "Omen", the most danceable song on the album along with "Colours": both would not be out of place in a nightclub.
As for the other songs, let's say it right away: I didn't find a bad one. From the rave anthem "Thunder" to the echoes of "No Good" in "Warrior's Dance", from the rock-oriented "Piranha" to the fierce "World's On Fire". Let's not forget "Take Me To The Hospital", whose sound greatly recalls "Experience", and "Stand Up", very happy, which lets The Prodigy exit the party triumphantly.
Great collaborations are present on this record: the most important is definitely Dave Grohl on drums in "Run With The Wolves" and "Stand Up". Additionally, the band showcases a new logo, a truly beautiful cover, and a booklet that's not very big, but thorough.
So then, why only 4 stars? Because The Prodigy did not invent anything new, but merely revived ideas from the first two albums.
However, let's be clear: EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT ORIGINAL, "INVADERS MUST DIE" ROCKS!!!!
Recommended especially for parties with lots of people and a strong desire to let loose.

The Prodigy is back to blast your eardrums and move those damn butts for quite a while.
Ten tracks that might just be a rediscovery of the band’s characteristic sounds, so nothing innovative and not a masterpiece but definitely an enjoyable album.
By GATTINATOR
Unstoppable and enjoyable: a fun album for sure with some tracks that could climb the charts worldwide.
Techno-violence in its raw state: between 'Warrior’s Dance' which will make you reminisce about the good old '90s and 'World’s On Fire' that will incite you to excitement.
