Review: Prodigy - Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned

Just got the album. And found it not worth the moolah, to summarise.

While prodigy continue their psychedelic beats, this time it doesn't grow on you like their earlier beauties(Fat of the Land). And I'd like to blame this on the selection of vocals. Irritating. But Prodigy's not to be let off the bench too, for their beats bear similarity to many of the games I played in the early years of video gaming. Not their trademark stuff. Brings up a lot of questions. Where is Keith Flint??? Why did it have to turn girlish???
Occasionally they bring up the imperious beats in opening of some tracks, but then they descend into perpetual blandness. Their electronic stamp is somewhat missing, for they tend to move to Chemical Brothers like music, who are undoubtedly master of their genre. Only a couple of tracks - Spitfire, Get Up Get Off - are worth the time.

Makes me "smack my face up" for gettin the album. But I actually read some other reviews over the net after to writing my own one, and they suggest it grows on you slowly. Lets hope so. Otherwise, Prodigy is having a disastrous phase.

I might sound like AABF21 (for the simpsons fans to know and the initiated to find out), but its just that I've heard much better albums recently.

Hibernation Encore

Blistering Blue Barnacles!

The exams had to start from next week. And chemistry, ugh!
  • Physics is actually interesting. loving reading about relativity.

  • Maths as always gets me to sleep.

  • Chemistry. I hate every letter of that word. Getting clubbed with a fossil bone is actually less painful to me than studying chemistry. Mode: Kill

  • Computers course is sheer crap. You should look at the kind of syllabus they expect us to study and become engineers of the future. Like a bored observer at an art gallery. Will see everything but never get to know the details.



Anyways, this means I'll have to go through the turmoil once again, and in the process dedicate smaller fraction of time to Computers(current usage: 8hrs a day). But would keep posting on my other blog if any good one liner aphorisms come into my bizzare mind.

Reliving the passed times

I'm a game addict. No arguments. Don't try to offend me related to this or i'll have to do the honours of giving you freedom from this planet. But after I ended my relationship with SEGA's Little Master console to move on to more eveolved gaming over the PC, I've not looked back. Still remember the days of clearing first level in Mario and saving the Princess or killing that god-machine in Contra or Taking revenge over somebody's grave in Street Fighter. But those remained stuffed in some corner of my mind.

Until Now.

Found good ROM sites, downloaded emulators and ROMs, read some stuff about runing the softwares and editing the ROMs and I was off. Many hours of Contra, Super Contra, Street Fighter, Mario; I felt heaven. Here's a listing of some of the sites. Few, but not after you visit em:

In Hibernation

Oh geez, i totally forgot that i used to keep a blog. Hence the reason why it wasn't updated. Anyways, having an uninsteresting city life doesn't help either.
Nothing much to talk about. friends studying, nature seems to have gone on vacation, sports seem to have taken a step back. Finding nothing happening around makes you wanna blow up something just to check if humans still survive.

Coming up

I will swell out and then burst into little tiny pieces if i don't share my evergreen love for greenery. I'll be posting some eloquent(hopefully) deifications dedicated to nature in coming time, all based on true experiences.

Rolling out some good links

While my dedicated net connection is crawling these days, my procrastinating character still allows me to do a recon of some of the interesting stuff over the Internet. "Internet, Eh!"

Ethereal Feeling

Nature overwhelms you.

You just can't stop the appreciation when the bright green leaves dance in wind after heavy rainfall, while cool air tickles your skin. Or when you find the woods humming some unknown, hypnotizing tune on a star-lit night. Or when you jump with elation on finding that your stone took 14 bounces on the waters of a lake in the wild, obscure to the city folks. Or when you see water snakes slither away in the green waters of that same lake. Or when you hear low pitched roars of tiger on prowl or the shrills of a deer being hunted, waking you up at 3 in the morning. Or when the thunder gods gift you with an unforgettable sight: sparks of lightning seeming to meet at the crest of the hill and illuminating the whole valley.

For an ephemeral moment it seems that nature is everything you should survive for. Love till infinity.

Back in action

I am back in the virtual domain. after long time.

Nothing more addictive (in urban life) than the feel of your adroit fingers beating out on the keyboard while you lie back on your chair in your true environment.

For past some time, I was up in the Himalayas for some time. With whole family. Visiting different places. Appreciating nature and rawness of life.

Not that it was my first trip. I go there each occasionally, for my Grandfather was intelligent, caring and astute enough to buy a huge piece of land 60 years ago - which was a originally a discarded road built during the British times - and build a cottage on it. Its just that I cannot part with nature. On every visit I lose my mind at the sights and sound nature presents. Nothing gains superiority to Nature. NOT EVEN DIGITAL TOOLS. I'm saying this even after I spend 8 hrs at computers daily in my urban avatar.
