Bring back Experience. Please.
are you refering to the first or second albulm, or just pendulum in general? to be fair i thought the first pendulum project was great; i have yet to listen to the second.
at any rate this song is a bit lame. always outnumbered never outgunned was way better than this and even that wasn't exactly stellar. if you ask me they should release their new material under a new alias. i get that peeps will buy it because it's the prodigy name but honestly this isn't what prodigy WAS. if it's good then start a new project; there's no sense in tarnishing a good name. if it's good it sell; if it's bad it will just make what was good seem less sparkly.
Pendulum took a once decent genre and turned it into the most predictable, by the numbers shitefest my ears have ever had the displeasure of enduring.
I remember being in a conversation with one guy, who said they were the most important thing to ever happen in the genre. I asked him what he thought of artists like Goldie, A Guy Called Gerald, Remarc etc, and he didn't even have a clue who they were. I applaud them for being successful, but their music is horrible. Go listen to Black Secret Technology and compare. Pendulum are a joke.

goldie is my hero but i do think pendulum are pretty good, some of there newer stuff with the lyrics is a bit weak so havnt paid much attention lately though
prodigy when they released experience were under fire from every direction because of the same reasons.
and i dont get why they should change there name ?, its prodigy, if that were the case then they would need new names for each album
i dunno though, i still like it, just cant wait for the album, march 3rd boyos

glad to hear someone else say that. love my nedstep as much as the next gurner, but i wouldn't call it art. it's like the emo-dubstep stuff that's been cropping up more and more over the last year or so, it's nice to fuck with it in the background, or have it on while you're driving a volvo, reading the guardian or tending to your herbs - but it's not clever and it's definitely not new.
what prodigy have been doing for a long time is more like crossover pop than dance music. this one sounds like a beats thing, but it hasn't captured the same feel/happiness that others have managed (e.g. the stuff charliealpha pimps on here occasionally). prodigy deserve their money, it's just not my cup of tea.

Goldie is washed up going off his last album, and I'm still dubious how much he actually puts into his releases, though going off the quality of recent ones I'm guessing quite a bit. His first LP wouldn't have even appeared without Playford and Dego, etc etc.
Don't even get me started on Pendulum, pure unadulterated sh1te for the parrothead weatherspoon masses. Just IMO of course
"I know who I am" is decent, but I agree the rest is trash. Especially considering he had been working on it for so long.
Metalheads - Terminator is the best ever Goldie related release. All 4 tracks are just incredible and it's probably my favourite old skool release ever, next to The Tingler.

When I first heard 'Everybody In The Place' in 1991, I was fucking overwhelmed with the sheer raw energy of it, and I still think it's one of the best dance tracks ever made.
I must have played that track several hundreds of times in the morning to get me going, because that's what their music does: It invigorates and gets you energised. Works better than caffeine.
Prodigy originated a very distictive dance sound, building the way for other artists to use breakbeat/garage/two step rhythms, and I will always acknowledge their pioneering steps.
However, when I listen to 'Invaders must die', it sounds a bit generic and tired.
The track doesn't shock or surprise me; It's like something I could put together myself, if I were given the instruction to create a track in the Prodigy-idiom.
Anyway, I hope the full album is different from this stale lead song, and the guys still have artistic renovation in mind, instead of capitalizing on proven concepts.
