The Prodigy: Invaders Must Die

Since forming in 1990, The Prodigy have divided critical opinion a great deal, while establishing a highly faithful fanbase in the mean time. 'Invaders Must Die' is the fifth studio album offering by the musical project and includes some of their most impressive material to date for fans of their music.


The Prodigy: Invaders Must Die
The album begins with the title track, 'Invaders Must Die,' also the first single to be released from the album. This track sees The Prodigy's typical DnB House method of composition with commendable interplay between bass line and synthetic overtones. The following track, 'Omen' continues with this unrelenting yet rather commercial style, later released as another single from the album.

Interestingly, later tracks, such as 'Take Me To The Hospital,' reference the more surreal earlier compositions by the band. 'Take Me To The Hospital' for instance is somewhat reminiscent of the duo's earlier track 'Out Of Space.' Such tracks lie alongside the much heavier offerings, such as 'Warrior Dance,' which presents a much harsher and distorted sound.

In this reviewer's opinion, some of the finest material lies in 'Omen Reprise' and the particularly notable remix of 'Invader's Must Die' by Chase And Status. This album presents a great refinement of the bands style, its sequel will be dearly anticipated.
