Prodigy- Their Law: The singles is basically a greatest hits package of all The Prodigy's best known songs that have been released over the last few years. As an occasional fan of the band, I had never bought one of their albums before and decided this was as good a time as any as I recognised the majority of the songs. I went the whole hog and bought the special edition which includes a bonus C.D of remixed tracks and live material also but, to be honest, I didn't think the second C.D was up to much as can sometimes be the case.

Track 3 is Breathe; another song featuring the scary vocals of lead singer, Keith. Once again, this is a Prodigy track everyone knows and loves and something you can really mosh too- though I don't recommend you do this whilst listening to the album in the car as you can get funny looks at traffic lights. This, for me, along with the equally awesome Smack My Bitch Up, which is track 5 on the album, sums up everything that is good about The Prodigy. They like to throw their music right in your face, right out there, and, if you don't like what they are saying, you get the impression that they really couldn't give a frack what you think. Maybe it's all an act but every time any of their critics begins to think they can fit The Prodigy into one particular pigeon-hole genre, they seem to come out with something completely different and even more subversive and tracks 1,3 and 5 are about as punk as you can get without actually being punk. This is the most aggressive dance music you are probably ever going to hear...

After the highly controversial Smack My Bitch Up, which I have already mentioned and which is perhaps one of their most notorious tracks along with Firestarter, the album becomes much more dance/trance orientated. Some of it to be fair is not to my taste but stand-out tracks from here on out include for me Charley, taking a sample from that old public safety commercial that only adults of a certain age will be able to remember (ahem...*cough*); No Good (Start The Dance) and Everybody In The Place. All as aggressive as they are pumping and guaranteed to get hard-core ravers jumping to their feet and bouncing around each and every time!!!

The album is available fairly cheap on Ebay or Amazon and is about a year or so old now. Normally I would recommend buying a greatest hits package if you had not bought any albums by a band you liked before, but this is just as equally bad in parts as it is awe-inspiring in others. My advice- do what I didn't do and just find the album online and download the tracks you like the best rather than the whole thing. Because frankly this is just a bit too much for me like a mixed bag of sweets with only a few of your favourites left in there for you......four stars and only because I soooo love tracks like Breathe and No Good!!!
