The Prodigy are back? What? They're not? Just one of them? Oh, I see. This is how it begins: with the realisation that Keith Flint is gone and Liam Howlett is alone at the wheel. Fortunately he's got some friends and they're happy to help. It's not really like Flint did that much away from a camera anyway.did he?

If your main source of vocals ups and leaves, it's not usually a good idea to attempt to fill the void yourself, and so Howlett has employed a various cast that help to define each track making this a totally different Prodigy experience. The best way to review this album, is to review the tracksin brief.

Track one, "Spitfire" is a great opener, with a deliberately slow, distorted bass beat that immediately makes you sit up and pay attention. On vocals is none other than Natural Born Killer herself, Juliette Lewis; spitting (pardon the pun) awesome attitude with every word. The first radio single from the album "Girls" is repetitive and boring. If it wasn't for the samples and unusual loop, you may not find yourself humming the tune a good week after you heard it.

"Get Up Get Off" featuring Twista is a catchy collision of Rap and Electronica, along with "Wake Up Call" (With Kool Keith) including another great loop that could have been written by N.E.R.D. There are a few dud tracks - to be sure, such as "Phoenix" with it's sample of "Love Buzz" used to the point of tedium; "You'll Be Under My Wheels" also suffering dull, loopy repetition; and "Way It Is" - the kind-of-clever, kind-of-boring and obvious "Thriller" reworking. See also "Memphis Bells".

However, to say the album doesn't have its treats would be flat-out bull-dust. "Hot Ride" is the pick of the litter with it's dirty guitars and perfectly suited sleezy vocals (with thanks to Juliette again), made addictive by the mesmerising drums and brilliantly used Fifth Dimension lyric sample: "Up, up and away on my beautiful balloon.". "Action Radar" delivers a faster Aphex Twin style beat reminiscent of the Prodigy's "Experience" days, along with punk-assault vocals. Then of course there's the closer. Shoot Down" with Liam Gallagher on vocals and Noel on Bass, which is a typically good blend of gritty electonica and Brit-rock - A Very nice use of the Oasis boys.

To be honest, on first listen I wasn't a big fan - in fact, only a track or two even appealed, but each time I give it a spin, I find something else to enjoy. Definitely worth a punt.
