The Prodigy- "The Day Is My Enemy"

The Prodigy burst onto the Essex-driven rave scene in the early 90's with its bombastic big beat thrust and rock n' roll swagger.  Unlike their e-chewing electro contemporaries, their sound was brash, almost punk in both aggressive energy and execution.  From their debut, "Experience", a hodge-podge mash of stadium-dance delivered with crippling machine gun accuracy to their 1996 smash hit album "Fat Of The Land" (whose singles "Firestarter" and "Smack My Bitch Up" broke stateside to even the mainstream rock radio zeitgeist)-- Prodigy carved a niche for themselves through the panache and swagger of sheer energy.  Following a brief hiatus for a handful of years, the band reformed to release "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" and "Invaders Must Die", both of which arriving to mediocre enthusiasm both stateside and abroad- the key criticism being that the group had lost the edge that sliced its way ahead of their peer.

2014's "The Day Is My Enemy" is relentlessly a return to form for The Prodigy, with a violent and visceral collection of new songs that sound like they could have easily been recorded amidst their "Fat Of The Land" heyday.  There's no punches being pulled here-- reformed, rejuvinated and clearly out for blood.  The synths blast like punk guitars, members Keith Flint and Maxim deliver paranoia-spewed vocals with snarled viciousness, and every drum hit socks like a punch to the skull-- THIS is The Prodigy you knew and loved.
