Definitely one of those musical moments



It was clear as day the thing was going to be bloody massive though. The Prodigy were the absolute bollocks from the outset until about 2003

I guess the big issue (that's not really much of an issue) with this album is the best five songs are quite a bit stronger than the other five.



The top five are absolute classics though - Firestarter, Breathe, Smack My Bitch, Diesel Power and Climbatize.



Mindfields is almost there too, just something ever so slightly off, maybe could have lost a minute. Funky Shit peaks a bit early too.

True that doof mate.



Still the greatest live moment I’ve ever seen was these at V97.



Smack My Bitch Up was the loudest thing I’d ever heard and I’d seen Concorde break the sound barrier at the Southend air show in the eighties.

'We're Louder than Concorde'



Why can I imagine the least deserving band adopting that as a slogan - Def Leppard or Status Quo or someone like that.

That Prodigy gig I went to recently, or 'one sweaty night in Brixton' as I remember it, was immense.



They were good at Reading in 2002 and Download when I caught them too. Can't actually remember if I've seen them live three or four times.

Back then a critic wrote that The Prodigy were the ultimate rock’n’roll band. While the statement made me raise my eyebrows at first, seeing them live on this tour put everything in place. They rocked harder than Therapy? and Iggy, both headlining the same festival.

I would give my lung to see them live back in their heyday.
