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]
Amazing 6th album for a great band. Banging from start to finish, with a consistent sound that isn't boring. Some of the tracks are ProdigyAmazing 6th album for a great band. Banging from start to finish, with a consistent sound that isn't boring. Some of the tracks are Prodigy classics like Destroy. Rebel Radio and Wall Of Death are other 2 of my favorites, and the album in general is just a joy to listen to from start to finish.…Expand

Certainly there are some hit and misses. But, overall this is a relentless, violant and agressive album which needs to be heard by every music-connaisseur.
There is noone in modern music nowadays which can produce the same sound as The Prodigy does.
A must have for this year !…Expand
I just want to address some of the reviews I have read, from Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound. These are scathing, snarky, stick-up-your-assI just want to address some of the reviews I have read, from Pitchfork and Drowned in Sound. These are scathing, snarky, stick-up-your-ass reviews. I need to mention that these sort of white-bread phony, pseudo-hip websites have had it in for The Prodigy ever since their first albums. These are the sorts of people who gave Fat of the Land a negative review and sat around seeing who could make fun of it the most in order to make themselves look intelligent, or, you know, "cool." Except they're about as far from cool as you can possibly imagine, and really genuinely have no **** idea what's what. These are the same people who have tried to convince us that "indie rock" is more relevant than electronic music, and have sat around **** on Aphex Twin, Autechre and other great, genuinely relevant groups while desperately, pathetically trying to shove Kendrick Lamar and other boring, trite pop music down our throats. Wow, so cool! **** Pitchfork. Not a joke, don't read those sites any more. Yeah, this album isn't their best. But it's still good. It rocks. It's phenomenally produced. Don't let these weak little phony ass cowards tell you what to like or not like. Their opinions are not honest, but merely manufactured for the purpose of making them appear to be intelligent. The more we learn to ignore that segment of the media, and of our society, the better our culture will likely become. If you are going to tell me that the new Kanye West is more creative and "better" than this... folks, do not read those websites. They're FAKERS and have been from the very start.…Expand

It's unlikely that The Prodigy will ever rekindle the magic of their phenomenal 1997 album 'The Fat of The Land', and their latest effortIt's unlikely that The Prodigy will ever rekindle the magic of their phenomenal 1997 album 'The Fat of The Land', and their latest effort pretty much justifies that claim. 'The Day Is My Enemy' marks a group that seems to show little progression between albums. The same generic sound is evident throughout, and just seems to become more tiring as the album progresses. However, there are definitely some standout tracks; Ibiza (feat. Sleaford Mods) Rhythm Bomb (feat. Flux Pavilion) and Beyond The Deathray - a more toned town track.. For me, 14 tracks on this album was just too many. Perhaps just selecting 10 of the best tracks may have been the better option.…Expand

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.…Expand
