Invaders Must Die is 11 tracks of pumping electronica that would please the crowd at any rave club. Liam Howlett, Keith Flint and Maxim Reality, the eccentric frontmen of The Prodigy, have remained steady on their well-traversed path, the same road that saw them become chart-toppers in the 90s.

It’s been 12 years since The Prodigy gained international fame with their 1997 album, The Fat of the Land, which gave us the super hits “Breathe,” “Firestarter,” and the controversial “Smack My Bitch Up.” Today and as always, The Prodigy is still very constructed, grounded to the turntables, and perfect for the British underground scene.

This time around, their music is less heavy, and they seem much more conscious about being melodic. Although the album was not a collaborative project, it contains a variety of sampling from other electronica bands (Final Cut, Pepe Deluxé, Sensor), and Dave Grohl (of Foo Fighters fame) offered to contribute drum tracks. Invaders Must Die is the first album of the band’s to be released on their new label, Take Me To The Hospital.

Each song (according to the band) exemplifies a different feel or philosophy, all unified in modern celebration of the ‘old skool rave anthem’. Of all the tracks - “Thunder,” “Colours,” and “Stand Up” - stand apart from the rest with more distinctive rhythms, involving reggae, synthesizers, and alt-rock beats with soul flavour respectively. The rest, however, blends together into one extra-long club mix that, although is very high-energy, becomes a bit repetitive.

The band is currently on a European tour to promote the album until the end of the summer.
