Even if you think the rest is filler. The tracks named are so great in their own right. This band truly c..."  [+]  Reply

"Shamefully underrated album, in my opinion it was one of the best of the year. It's the prodigy's best album since the fat of the land and with loads of great catchy energetic dance songs it makes it a great listen."  Reply

"Huh... There's some fantastic tracks on here. Amazing album... no, but why so much hate? I'd listen to this 10 times over and over again before I had to listen to an Animal poser hipster Collective album. They started to sell out... hahaha... it's pop music.
