Review - :
{$Prodigy}'s main man {$Liam Howlett} said in an interview that usual band members {$Keith Flint} and {$Maxim} weren't on the new album because this was a back to the core record, one to find the soul of {$Prodigy} (dancer {$Leeroy Thornhill} left the band years ago - losing your dancer, always crippling). For anyone rooting for the band, it sounded like a good deal. {$Howlett} came off as a mad beat scientist of great genius on his goin-it-alone CD {^The Dirtchamber Sessions, Vol. 1}, rockin the beats with mad style and blowing the dust off {$Babe Ruth}'s {&"The Mexican"} just to prove how he was cooler than you. It was a sweet mix but then nothing, and then it got worse. {$Howlett} himself disowned 2002's dull {&"Baby's Got a Temper"} single so let's all go nuts for {$Prodigy} again, sounds like we're on the right track. There's an inspired list of guest stars on the album - {$Princess Superstar}, {$Kool Keith}, {$Liam Gallagher}, {$Twista}, {$Juliette Lewis} - and {$Howlett} is working hard throughout, twiddling the knobs and making noises fly every which way. {&"Girls"} is a good electro roller, the surprisingly different and slinky {&"Phoenix"} is proof {$Howlett} hasn't lost it, and you're bound to fall for at least one of the generic fist pumpers, they do have that whipping sting in the tail of which {$Howlett} is the master. Unfortunately, {^ Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned} isn't the success 1997's {^Fat of the Land} was. It's steps ahead of the {&"Baby's Got a Temper"} single and worth it for the faithful but not up to the old standards. [{^Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned} was released in Japan with the bonus track {&"More Girls"}, a remix of the album cut {&"Girls"}.] ~ David Jeffries, All Music Guide
