Or to be more accurate six years in the mucking about and one year in the revising. Now they've finally found some new spark. Then they forgot where they put the matches. Point being that AONO will not appeal to every listener as they did in the past.By RUSSELL BAILLIE (Herald rating: * * * *) "I'm a firestarter", they sang in 1997. If you a fan of polka, listen to whatever the hell you listen to. However, fans would find their fair share of music here, mostly presenting a much more edgier and matured Liam Howlett. It lacks all of the chemicals that made them famous in the first place, and would be better off as a Junkie XL album. "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" shouldn't be taken as a Prodigy album at all. It never work out as good as he expected it to be, and just riddled us with over-the-top guitar riffs and clumsy mixing. What he tried to do is keep his signature sound and also try to appeal it to Gallagher.

Not the perfect collab, is it? After Oasis' more-than-perfect run with The Chemical Brothers, Howlett thought he would have a crack at it.
"Shoot Down" features Liam Gallagher of Oasis. Its slightly better than the other half, but relies way too much on Twista's boring formula.

Its more hip-hop influenced than Tupac in a crib full of guitars.
"Get Up Get Off" features breakneck-paced rapper Twista. The weaker tracks unfortunately stand out. Sounds rushed and re-hashed, but always a pleasure to listen to. It keeps the same edgy feel of the original song and still you can manage to bust the same groovy dance moves. (I guess you all know which song I'm talking about by now). Even Michael Jackson would re-consider this, and Liam taking MJ's most famous work and puts it to the remix.
Then there's "The Way It Is", which is a thriller (no pun intended). It introduces extraordinary violin work, which proves to be the more rock song rather than electronica.

The more impressive tracks on the album come without words, as you would hear on "You'll Be Under My Wheels", frequently played BY the likes of video games and TV ads for BMW. "Medusa's Path" is a played synth repeated throughout the song, well-balanced with bassline and string. Both have punk-femme fatale vocals, both have a brain-numbing sample and both have the same amount of hypeness and craziness. Prime examples would be "Girls" and "Hotride". It begins well enough, but then breaks into annoyingly catchy samples and whizzing electronic bass beats. Includes the catchy vocal line "If anybody knows in World War 2, they called me Spitfire". Its the most hyper-active song of 2005, hands down, and has all the bells and whistles you would expect from Liam. The middle-eastern flute is key in the song, as well as great drum work and guitar. The album starts with "Spitfire", which is a fan favorite live. Finally, they have broken out of that shell and into newer ground. The Prodigy have had their heads in the gutter for way too long, and built an obsessiveness on themselves. Wait, where did it go from here? Pretty much down hill, which is a good thing. A one man army so incredible it dwarfs any other associated acts. Liam Howlett is the ultimate bad boy in the genre, seen as the Metallica of its generation. Sounds very much unlike something The Prodigy would do. Its a gore-fest of heavy guitar riffs, crowded siren noises and screeching pop vocals. "Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned" explains itself with the title. Almost as dramatically changed as The Beastie Boys for this one. But no, what has been expected is something completely different. As you can see, they have changed massively since their last official release, "The Fat of the Land" and promised a follow up full of wonderful electronic goodness and crazy mis-matched rave samples. Instead, choppy punk-grunge vocals are supplied by Julianne Lewis. You won't be happy to know the latter of Liam's people aren't featured at all here, meaning Keith Flint and Maxim Reality. The Prodigy, an act so hyped it makes Cannibal Corpse seem childish. Review Summary: A much more edgier and matured Prodigy.
