Rated 5/5
Review by Lektronikumuz Jun 22, 2008
***Amazing*** how much seems that Liam was inspired by Nirvana... E1 track, called "Phoenix" and "Love Buzz" from Nirvana's 1989 album called "Bleach".
This is first studio album of The Prodigy after 1997's The Fat of the Land. Its title is a play on words of the title to the Walter Mosely novel Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned. Near Liam Howlett is present on the album musically, actress Juliette Lewis, Oasis frontmen Liam and Noel Gallagher, Kool Keith and The Magnificent Ping Pong Bitches. "This album is about reminding people what The Prodigy was always about — the beats and the music", Howlett wrote to an internet zine after finishing the album. He also notes that his intention was to use vocals mostly as an extension of the sound rather than the main focal point, as was the case in The Fat of the Land. This album peaked at UK nr. 1 on the album charts, but it didn't stay there for long and with three regular singles yielded no big hits. It was promoted by a promotional double A-sided 12" "Girls/Memphis Bells", released in very limited quantities in UK on June 21, 2004. On June 28, 2004, the track "Memphis Bells" was exclusively available online as a digital download via alwaysoutnumbered dot com Available in a limited edition, each of the 5,000 downloads had a unique variation of the track, accompanied with a unique variation of the artwork. On 30 August 2004 "Girls" was released, entering the charts at #19. "Hotride" – released November 1, 2004 in the UK – was not eligible to enter the UK charts as the CD was released in EP format with 3 additional 'b-sides' and so did not conform to chart regulations. Finally "Spitfire" was released on March 28, 2005.
