Invaders Must Die

Invaders Must Die is the fifth studio album by The Prodigy released on February 23rd, 2009 on their own label, Take Me to the Hospital (a sub-label of Cooking Vinyl). Liam characterized this album as a mixture of The Prodigy’s previous LPs. It had a bigger success than its predecessor, Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned, but received mixed reviews. Invaders Must Die was the first album since The Fat of the Land where all three members of the band took part in the creative process.
The LP is mostly comprised of live-oriented tracks with heavy use of raw gritty synths, programmed electronic beats and some guitar samples. In time of production of this album, Liam used Logic Pro and Ableton Live.
