 
The Prodigy are one of the most exciting and relevant
electronic dance acts ever who have had a majorly
successful career due to the fact that they manage
to turn out the best of alternative rock and infectious
dance within their music, the last album by The
Prodigy was 2009’s ‘Invaders Must
Die’ and since then The Prodigy have toured
heavily across the world on their own headline
tour whilst also headlining many festivals and
now after a massive 6 years wait The Prodigy have
just unleashed their brutal new single ‘Nasty’
which is taken from their forthcoming studio album
‘The Day Is My Enemy’.
‘Nasty’ is a classic Prodigy through
and through, it has the same beats and explosive
energy that you come to expect from The Prodigy
and if you heard the song for the first time without
being told who it was you would guess it was The
Prodigy within seconds as The Prodigy have that
special knack of making kick ass songs which sound
so different from any other artist yet stay so
true to themselves.
The theme of ‘Nasty’ is a massive
dig at the Tories and people who support fox hunting
and the video for the song tells this story extremely
well with a lonely fox being backed into a corner
with many hunters trying to shoot it down, and
let’s face it the song could not of been
more perfectly timed with a general election coming
up in may and if the Tories win it then fox hunting
may well be made legal again, musically the beats
of the song are huge and pounding whilst the vocals
from Keith Flint and Maxim are pretty edgy, straight
to the point and full of attitude.
It is safe to say that The Prodigy are back and
they have many messages to share and ‘Nasty’
happens to be a massive political one and I am
sure when ‘The Day Is My Enemy’ drops
on the 30th March hardcore The Prodigy fans may
well have a new favourite album.
5/5
