Yes, but how much can you say Undeworld has evolved from Dubnobasswithmyheadman to Beaucoup Fish, or even One-Hundred Days Off? Not nearly as much from the B-sides of Experience to their most recent album. I didn't want The Fat of the Land 2.0. Nobody did.
Go back and listen to the new stuff, and it's surprisingly good after you get your mind set on the fact that it isn't the same old The Prodigy.
People criticised both Liam and Norman Cook for producing off-beat, electronic albums that went in a direction different than the 303-fest we have going on now, but even if people don't completely sound like them, but merely incorporate parts of their new style into their more contemporary acts, the producer's efforts won't be in vain.
