Haha yeah! Reminds me of the time when loads of people were hyping Emotional Technology long before it came out when they had heard 1-2 tracks off it like Paris, especially the better version which got played in sets but which didn't end up on the album. When the album finally came out almost all those who had been hyping about it, became very quiet and gave only average points to it because it wasn't what they had been expecting after all.

The album is complete and within a month's time, will be released. Unlike ET. What has been said about this album so far;

"Take the sonic integrity of IMA and the epic compositions of ESCM, and a exponential growth in his proprietary techniques and sounds; with raw classical live recorded orchestra, glitchy micro-sound experimentalism, jazz, and breath taking use of surround sound space and you have some inkling of the sonic expansiveness of this project."

This is it, this is what all the old BT fans were waiting for, go ahead I don't think this album could be "hyped" enough & still manage to amaze us.

was this before or after most of his album was stolen and he had to come up with everything from scratch?

either way ET is an above average pop album with a few gems here and there.

Anyone have a normal format of this video!

The real stuff which was going to be on ET was stolen hence BT had to start over from scratch and had to rush the album. Provided it was not as good as his other albums but you do realize ET was an album done on experimental basis ie BT was experimenting with vocals and mainstream dance music and rock. This one however is back to his old self. Might not be an all out dance record (who wants one anyway?) but a great peiece of electronic music.

If you believe that because his studio got broke into that he lost everything and as such had to rush to create ET, then you would be wrong. He recovered versions of most of the tracks. In fact, the only tracks that we really lost were the Sarah Mclachlan collaboration that he was working on for it.

It's hype though. Never believe the hype. The last Prodigy album was meant to hark back to the MFTJG days and all the Prodigy fans were salivating at the prospect, but in the end it wasn't to be. You can describe it in as many superlatives as you like, but until you know what it sounds, like just calm down.

I'm excited. Very excited. But at the moment I'm doubtful.

for one thing this album seems to be a different idea from ET, being that there's only 7 tracks probably averaging 10-12 minutes each, so this will probably be something more like Ima-escm esque but better

So was that the tracklist, those 7 tracks?
