Welcome to the Ballerburg!

The self-proclaimed king of Cyberpunk (or from me also Electro Punk) are back. 6 years from their last album "Invaders must Die" to The Prodigy are back with a new (?) Music and the question mark relates to the fact that one can not really speak anew. Thus, first of all: everything the same in the final sum - so how Prodigy knows and perhaps like.

The Prodigy in spite of everything, however, for me never the spearhead of that genres were (that remain for me still Atari Teenage Riot and currently Chrysalide) and have only the interface between Underground and Mainstream covered (and addressed), they are also of Five star albums reviews remained away with me. All previous albums have their hits have one or two blast but in the long run there is one and the same problem with The Prodigy: on album length ever tiring and easy "trivial". Even that has not changed here.

Anyway, you can all the abgewinnen what - when you stand on driving, electronic music that pleases both the Electro Goth and the followers of mainstream techno / house or whatever. "The Day is my Enemy" has only one difference from the last album: It is much more aggressive. The beats popping one around the ears and everything is more extreme focus on party. This is a contrast to the latter albums? Yes, this is the only difference and frankly let a The Prodigy on this point hardly get time to air. That this is in the long run but known tiring and sometimes a bit annoying, The Prodigy seem to be completely care less and they therefore do not reinvent the wheel well. The latter has also not always but this "popping 100% against the wall" on is not the solution to a lack of innovation to whitewash.

Thus acts the opener "The Day is my Enemy" on the first single "Nasty" everything from a single source and the same style runs through the whole album - without ifs and buts. It may be that the essence of the album in a certain volume works well (yes, of course, all this only really works with an increased volume level!), But I feel after listening to this album as a Ballerburg!

Of all the tracks is the last (also very ballernde) "Wall of Death" for me the most convincing and makes really fun - really makes the whole album fun but you do not always fun and thus this album only in clubs or on Prodigy concerts fulfill its mission. So listen times for passing is the part rather unsuitable. But it is supposed to be some people who always have Partyalarm and can not sit quietly. For the album is certainly a masterpiece. For others, perhaps only a nice, driving and somehow annoying part where you eventually picked out a few individual tracks. In this sense: brain and onto the dance floor. That's all.
