    Actually i feel very sad for this album, i used to worship them, but not anymore after this. They seem to have lost the magic they had in their glory days.

    The Prodigy should have thrown this record into the garbage and should have started from scratch. Each track has a hook too try to be catchy ... instead it is annoying and poor. And all that is made in four long years ... very weak. The Beatles, The Rollings Stones, Iggy Pop all older bands used tapes for recording and made records after records in lesser time and they were brilliant.

    The Prodigy have done some whoppers in their time. The Fat of the Land is home to the classic Firestarter as it is also the thrilling, restless Narayana. Diesel Power stands tallest for me. The Day is My enemy however is a total mess of irritating, ear-splitting electronics that occasionally even sounds a spoof of the band. On the whole, it's Nasty nasty.

    The band's sixth album is another uneven mix, but with enough fresh twists and smart cameos to save it from redundancy. [Jun 2015, p.90]

    We were promised an album of violent thrills, but we just have The Prodigy on auto-pilot here.

    A few more songs like the kaleidoscopic Beyond The Deathray would've broken the relentless pace but on the whole this is another shape-shifting evolution in a career full of them. [May 2015, p.103]
