I posted this accidentally on Off Topic so now I am re posting this on the right forum. But anyways, here it is, I copied my review to this forum.
WARNING! THIS IS A TL;DR REVIEW! For my Summary, Go To The OVERALL at the bottom. But if you want to read what I really thought, read the whole review!
I barely listened to any of The Prodigy's work. The hardcore techno group is most known for their third studio album named The Fat of The Land. Now they come with their next album, The Day is my Enemy.
QUICK COVER LOOK:
A Giant Red Fox standing on a town. Looks pretty cool.
ALBUM:
The album's lyrics are extreme nonsense. It's actually almost too hard to hear what the hell they are actually saying because the music is so dang loud. Why even have lyrics for Techno or Big Beat music? The whole thing can be done without it. What do these lyrics even mean? The Day is my Enemy, The Night is My Friend? Ibiza? Transmit Transmit? All this gives me a total headache.
What about the songs? Ibiza is OK I guess, but the extreme constant use of Cluster F Bombs is overly redundant.
Destroy is more electronic rock and starts with some kind of NES sounds, I rarely say EDM and Dubstep music is fart sounds, but Destroy's crappy beats make them actually sound like long farts.
Songs feel excruciatingly long even though they are 2-4 minutes tops. Electronic music I don't think is suppose to do that. So why does it feel like they're dragging this out to the point of slamming your head into a book?
A Song I do actually like on this album is called Wild Frontier. It actually sounds really good. If only there were more songs like this on the album.
Rok Weiler sounds like it is going to be a good song, but it then becomes another repetitive mess of idiotic dog barking sounds done by the members of the group.
Beyond the Deathray is actually a good song. Mainly because it's missing from what the album needs, more atmosphere. The song is deep and creepy and doesn't feel to long.
Roadblox is one of the more boring songs on this album, it feels more tame then all the other songs on here, but I would rather listen to this then another Rok Weiler.
I think the main problem I have is that, the intros to the songs are good, but the whole rest of the songs suck. They are really boring, too long, annoying and it drives me to the point of insanity.
OVERALL:
It's a bad album. A really bad album. There is an exception of maybe two good songs on here. But it's an overlong travesty and you will be so glad when the last song is over.
3.1/10
I like some of their songs, but this album is terrible. |
