Baby's Got a Temper was released as a CD single and 12" about 2 years ago. It's not that hard to track down.

Also, the official release dates for AONO are August 23 for the UK and most other countries and September 14 for the US. This is from nekosite, and they got official confirmation.

Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned - Track by Track

Spitfire

Massive opener and statement of intent, featuring vocals from actress Juliette Lewis. “I wanted to start with World War III”, says Liam Howlett. “A friend saw Juliette's band, The Licks, in Los Angeles and said she had a shouty Patti Smith voice, so I sent her tapes. People are going to slag off a Hollywood star doing music, but she's for real.”

Girls

The first single. Dirty electro-punk reminiscent of Smack my Bitch Up, featuring vocals from all-girl electro-punk outfit Ping Pong Bitches. Howlett: “There's nothing deep about this track or this album. It's what Prodigy does best: big, dumb, rocking tunes. You're not going to get any meaningful stuff out of it.”

Memphis Bells

Bass-driven instrumental with a squiggly electronic motif. And lots of bells. “I wanted something to signal my change of direction.”, says Howlett. “This sounds like Timbaland on acid”.

Get Up Get Off

Dark brutalist electro featuring breakneck rapper Twista, who recently scored a Top 10 hit with Slow Jamz. Howlett: “I first heard Twista three years ago. He's got a really fast flow. I wanted a real London rap tune, and I think the street will respond to this.”

Hotride

Juliette Lewis reappears for this outing that borrows from Fifth Dimension's uber-Kitch Up, Up and Away. “Up, up, and away in my beautiful balloon”, sings Lewis, adding a louche “give me a ride”. Suggesting that views of the countryside from a wicker basket aren't her prime concerns. “The Prodigy have been taking themselves too seriously,” says Howlett, “This is quirky”.

Wake Up Call

The Prodigy get the funk, as Kool Keith delivers the message “You better wake up!” amid a flurry of mad flute samples. Howlett: “A slap in the face to myself after [poorly received 2002 single] Baby's got a Temper. I needed to change, or we were ed.”

Action Radar

Kraftwerk meets Gary Numan, with a man screaming over the top. The latter is Paul Jackson from unsigned Essex punk band Dirt Candy. “I heard ‘em while I was in the bath,” says Howlett. “I was like, Turn that ing down! Nat's daughter told me it was her friend's dad, so I rang him up and got him to sing on this.”

Medusa's Path

Cinematic instrumental with a distinctly Middle Eastern flavour. Howlett: “I'd love to play an Arab country, but we wouldn't really be welcome there. But still, I like the vibe….”

Phoenix

Jagged stop-start dance-rock hybrid featuring a sample from Shocking Blue's 1969 track Love Buzz, later covered by Nirvana. Howlett:”This is a complete jack of someone else's production and song. I'm not scared to do that even after 12 years in The Prodigy. You have to take risks.”

You'll Be Under My Wheels

A one-dimensional slab of fuzzy techno. Even Howlett isn't keen. “Not a lot to say on this,” he shrugs. “It's just an album filler.”

The Way It Is

Built on a recreated sample of Michael Jackson's Thriller, this trades th usual sledgehammer approach for some welcome light and shade. Howlett: “I was drinking Red Bull and Vodka, and I wanted to chew Michael Jackson's arse off and spit it back out again.”

Shootdown

Aggro-charged finale, featuring Liam Gallagher on vocals and brother Noel on bass. “Liam and I first agreed to do a track six years ago.” Says Howlett. “A year ago, we ended up getting pissed in the studio, and this happened. It's quite punk rock. Easily more punk than Oasis.”

The album seems to have a lot of "rock" influence, being a big Prodigy fan since TFOTL, I expected something... but not quite something like this, some tracks sound a lot slower than I expected, Take SMBU for an example Breathe or Firestarter. A lot of screaming over the top vocals but no Keith or Maxim appeared on the album at all?? How da did they contribute to this album anyway or how would they go about performing live cuzz both of them are going to be useless on the stage... all the tracks have some sort of guitar which makes it sound pretty much all "punk". Don't know what to say really... I need a few more times to listen to this it may grow on me a bit more. I wish it was a bit more electronic in a way though with both Maxim and Keith on the vocals. They're the members of this ing band after all!! Highlights of the album so far, Girls, Get Up Get Off feat. Twista, Wake Up Call, The Way We Do It. The least favourite tracks are Spitfire, Shoot Down, Phoenix, Action Radar.
