The Prodigy - Invaders Must Die

[Spy]

just got this - first impression was its a fairly underwhelming rip off of the pendulum, which is rather ironic when you consider what the pendulum would have grown up listening to.  i cheered up a bit by track 6 though.

Yeah the first 2 or 3 I kinda thought that too. But it improves - theres some heavier tracks with that edge you would expect from prodigy.

There's nothing wrong with sounding like Pendulum I love Pendulum's latest offering!  However, I'm a bit disappointed by Invader's Must Die, would have liked it a bit heavier.  Track 6 is awesome but needs some proper base rather than that blowy guitar thing!

If you are properly into the rave or drum and bass scene then there really is something very wrong with sounding like pendulum - ie they sanitise and dilute the sound. Thats why they're beloved of indie kids who don't actually go to dance music events.

To be fair I don't think they claim to be a drum and bass act anymore even though they still DJ. They have gone even more in the  rock direction by touring with a live band.

A couple of their earlier tracks were actually good tho. I'm thinking The Vault, Masochist...

by early you mean fat of the land and before right?

Oh right the first album when they were doing the ravey stuff. Those tracks sound pretty old skool now. The have more of a happy dancey vibe don't they. I like that one with the sample "take me on a trip", think its called "music reach".
