I waited 5 long years for this damn CD, and I was hoping for something different, maybe a musical breakthrough, but instead The Prodigy return to their old ways. Sure, "Invaders Must Die" doesn't present any novelties in terms of sound, but at least they haven't forgotten what they know how to do. All in all, its simplicity is striking: 11 tracks for just over 45 minutes, where everything is unstoppable and enjoyable; the exact opposite of "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" which was almost a tough nut to crack.
Unstoppable and enjoyable: a fun album for sure with some tracks that could climb the charts worldwide; the only flaw is that all this seems a bit thrown together (I mean, it's not like they overexerted themselves making it!). But you could say it works! I'd classify it as a "Big Beat" remnant from 7 or 8 years ago. At least they've produced an album superior to their friends "Chemical Brothers".
Let me clarify right away that this isn't an album like "The Fat Of The Land" (it's too far ahead), but it's not like "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" either, which is a bit lacking. 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; then when you add "Omen", "Thunder", and "Take Me To The Hospital", you're all set.
The best recipe is with the bass turned all the way up and your head disconnected because in the end you will enjoy it!

You run with the wolves, shout it out loud!

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 sound system
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.
