The Prodigy have released an official video for Timebomb Zone.
It’s taken from their recent album No Tourists – one which is ‘The Prodigy at far from their maximum potency’, as Live4ever’s review concluded, ‘but still dealing the blows like they mean them‘:
“Not, of course, that the band have ever stood up and wanted to be understood at anything other than a purely superficial level, and whilst nothing here reaches the nostalgic zeitgeist they dialled up so brilliantly on Invaders Must Die, opener Need Some1 has the aggression necessary while Timebomb Zone, heavily loaded with archetypal noise as it is – sirens, diva samples – is a reminder that once they used to fill dancefloors as well as mosh pits.”
“If that sounds like the work of a franchise caught between urges, it doesn’t quite tell No Tourists’ story, a record made primarily to ink in some new jams onto a festival setlist.”
