the Prodigy

Piranha and Colours are the weakest tracks.

Thunder, Take Me to the Hospital, and World's on Fire are the best of the songs I hadn't heard yet.

Omen and Warriors Dance have the most mass appeal.

Last Track ("Stand Up") sounds way too happy and laid back to be from the Prodigy, but it's a great track.

Can't wait to play this at the gym....

actually, Colours is growing on me now......still kinda sounds like a B side from Always Outnumbered.

Fucking LOVE Thunder - "I hear Thunder, but there's no rain. This kind of Thunder breaks walls and window panes." - Talking about Bombings or a War perhaps?

hmm...

I keep going back and forth as to whether or not I like the album... but I feel like it's a definite improvement over AONO. I can only listen to like 3 tracks off that album now (max) -> Girls, Shootdown, Phoenix

It seems that "Warning" has become "Run With the Wolves" which on one hand makes total sense, but I have to admit - I kinda liked the fact that the old chorus was so 'stupid'

and I realized it's not really a progression from "experience" - it feels more like "...Jilted..."

the last track sounds a lot like one of the older b-sides (I can't remember it's name... maybe "the Knock" or "the Trick" something like that)

where / when are the three US dates?

I soooo want to go to Ultra. Got the time off to use for it too. Just might be a bit too pricey and too much of a hassle dealing with the crowds in Miami and such.
