    It is not as good as its previous albu but yet It is very good, classy electronics, elegant and when needed powerfull. Maybe is not transgresive and goes with the actual point of view of electronics, but yet it is worth checking it out.

    Chase and Status have once again proved able to convey an album of contrasts, from heavy industrial hip-hop Dubstep to retro-90's club mixes.

    The result is well produced and enjoyable, but it would be nice to see personality and innovation--two things The Prodigy rarely lacked--emerge among the Altern-8 tributes.

    It gives old-schoolers a reason to dust off their jungle hoodies and drum'n'bass shoes, while the 2013 set get a bottom-heavy, funky, and passionate alternative to the current crop of bright EDM and light indie electronica.

    It's filled with meat-and-potatoes beats, which, despite their dangerous titles (Machine Gun, Wickedest Man) are more likely to make you check your watch than lose your head.
