| | Prodigy Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned CD Prodigy Discography of CDs
 (15 Customer Reviews)
In addition to its superior, high-end production, fist-pumping choruses, and insidiously propulsive rhythms (the undulating bass groove of "Hot Ride"--its refrain filched from Jimmy Webb's "Up, Up and Away"--is one of the highlights), ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED is graced by distinguished guests. Twista (reputedly one of the fastest rappers on earth) spits rhymes throughout "Get Up Get Off" at a mind-boggling pace. Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher takes a turn on the mic on "Shoot Down," and Kool Keith turns up on the aggro-electro-funk of "Wake Up Call." But it is Howlett's knob-twiddling that commands most of the attention here, sustaining the Prodigy's long-held claim to making some of the most meticulously constructed, brain-rattling club music around.
After a seven-year break between studio albums, 2004's ALWAYS OUTNUMERED, NEVER OUTGUNNED returned the Prodigy to the ranks of the movers and shakers in mainstream electronica. From the record's lead-off track, "Spitfire," it is clear that group mastermind Liam Howlett (now essentially a one-man band) hasn't lost his touch--thunderous beats abet aggressive guitar, keyboards, and samples, while snaking melodies rise and fall, and actress Juliette Lewis screams a repeating vocal tag. This level of intensity rarely slackens over the course of the record.
Additional personnel: Juliette Lewis, Liam Gallagher , Ping Pong Bitches, Princess Superstar (vocals); Noel Gallagher (bass guitar); Kool Keith, Shahin Badir, Twista, Paul "Dirtcandy" Jackson.
Entertainment Weekly (p.76) - "Howlett's infatuation with maximum-overdrive big beats and fire-alarm chaos endures on ALWAYS OUTNUMBERED, NEVER OUTGUNNED; his tracks are on perpetual orange-level alert." - Grade: B-
Mojo (Publisher) (p.92) - 3 stars out of 5 - "[I]t's good to hear such scabrous, punishing beats at a time when they're the last things on most groups' minds..."

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned Music Review Average Rating: (4.1 out of 5 stars)   List All Reviews the best prodigy?? really??
wow, i just read some crazy reviews of this record. "this album is punk." "this is the 1st prodigy D'n'B album?" liam was doing drum in bass in the early to mid 90's and the album has NO punk what so ever. i do like the newer drum patterns and the use of more analog synth. i don't like the fact that liam actually kicked kieth and max out of the group because they did not like the sound of this album. you can't call this album punk because keith wanted the album to be more raw and punk...lol. a lot of contradictions i read. i actually heard some demos from the 1st version of this album and i liked it better. "babys gotta temper" single was solid i thought but didn't make it onto the album and he released the 2nd version of the album that sounds more like lords of acid..ugh. the loss of keith and max made a huge impact. making it more of a liam solo album. enough of the candy raver crap. whenever liam decides to get keith and max into the group then we can hear a REAL prodigy album. this album is soft, weak, and lacks direction. i'll just wait for the next album that has keith and max on it. it will have to sound better than this crap...haha;)

 dissapointing
After 7 years of silence I was expecting much more from the guys whose 1995 release was revolutionary in electronic music. Instead of good ol' drum'n'bass I hear some kind of electroclash. Something's weird going on with breakbeat luminaries, first Crystal Method and Chemical Brothers realeased pretty crappy albums, now these guys.

ok, but not up to par
ok. i love prodigy alot, i have given their cds so far 5 out of 5 stars. i still have 2 cds to listen to and or buy: "dirtchamber sessions volume 1" & "expierance expanded". i love every cd up to fat of the land, i enjoi parts of 2 songs on here..."spitfire"...&..."mephis bells". i absolutley hate the song "girls". they have steped down a level in my opinion. they really need to go back to their roots, meaning the cd" "experiance; music for the jilted generation". they could have done better.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful. something for a real fan
I was a great fan of Prodigy once, so I got this album out of nostalgic reasons.
At first I wasn`t quite sure about it but now I find it quite enjoyable.
Now to the album.
First I must warn everyone who is expecting a another "fat of the land". Maxim and Keith don`t show up so it would be stupid to expect another "fotl" anyway. The albums more like the first one "experience".
I`m not disapoinnted (but then I didn`t expect much). But I`m sure many will be, simply because they expect another "fotl". But I recommend it to the "real fans", it has the typical raw and dirty prodigy beats. And who were expecting more, give it a chance and a few listens I`m sure most will get used to it and enjoy it. So did I dispite the fact that I listen to much camler music lately.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 1 of 2 found this helpful. Quite a surprise...
but a good a surprise. Nothing to do with the previous album, less "tribal" and hipnotic...but much more hardcore and dirty. His mates (Maxim & co) are gone and Liam has invited a lot of people to sing and scream. I was a bit a disappointed at the beginning but now I love it : you get very adicted after a while. He didn't choose the easy way and the result is a fresh, punk album.

The sheer toughness -- and overall derivative -- nature of Killing Floor's debut album, issued six months after Led Zeppelin's debut in 1969 on the Spark label, is a wondrous contrast to the overly slick treatment American blues were given by British artists. All of these tunes, with the exception of one, are revamped versions of songs from the blues canon with different ...

$7.89 (MP3 Available for Download)
On their Tigerbeat6 debut, Elaborate Devices for Filtering Crisis, Nudge build on the sound of Trick Doubt and flesh out a sound that falls somewhere in between electronic pop and more experimental fare. While the album's pretty, cerebral pieces are more muted than a good portion of the label's edgy output, the playful instinct to push and pull and cut and paste sounds into near-oblivion that defines Tigerbeat6 is still there; it's just expressed more subtly. The overall effect is more evocative than immediate, suggesting all kinds of vivid imagery without spelling it out explicitly. If satellites could sing, they might sound like "Til the Sun Expands," a quietly ...
