always outperformed - never outstanding

The new album seems all of a piece - unfortunately: no highlights, no musical development. And the two years in the making can not hear him well. The songwriting is uninspired, as if it were made with Music Maker or DeeJay weekend. The big problem with this is that the songs for the latest one minute not change, it is usually only the Loopschleife runtergedudelt. By contrast, "baby Got a Temper" is almost back innovative and who knows the live numbers trigger and Nuclear is probably disappointed here.
It may be that that the complete software package Reason, by which the album was designed to contribute to the prevailing monotony. For a Reason is a candy bar, for others the largest PRESET the world.
Particularly annoying incident on at Girls, Wake Up Call, Action Radar, ... Under My Wheel and The Way It Is; Spitfire has indeed a great beat but otherwise not very imaginative.
The only bright spots such as remote Hotride and Medusas Path can sit up a bit when you're not asleep before boredom. Memphis Bells and Shootdown are classically almost back and have at least a spark of charm.
Oddly enough, this reminds me of an earlier piece of album Prodigy: Molotov Bitch of the Firestarter Single. Outnumbered has the same B-side character.
The reasons why contemporary music always has poorer songwriting like everyone decide for themselves. When Spears and Co. make music that somehow in people with ADD (attention deficit disorder) appears to be cut, in which every other second is a different direction, Prodigy has responded with this album a similar target audience, only here the syndrome is counteracted so that you can come back at any time to the album and has not missed anything.
