The Prodigy – Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned

The 3LP pressing and the 2LP 2024 reissue both have the same clipping distortion as the CD release. Sound quality is no better or worse in either three, and they sound almost identical. I also lined them all up in audacity and could visually see clipping in the exact same places. The album definitely was not remastered for these vinyl releases.

The 2LP Music on vinyl release is made from a different lacquer cut than the 2LP reissue. It might be better, but I do not own a copy so I haven't checked.

It is a divisive album for sure, but I rarely listen to it because the sound quality is so painfully bad, which is a real shame.

This 3 LP pressing is amazingly great. Sound quality is extreme here. The grooves are very spaced so volume and details are beyond this planet. The reissue sounds excellent too. This Prodigy's album is a true gem.

Top quality pressing. Amazing sound. No surface noise at all. Heavy Bass. Grab it while you can.

I never understood why they made it a 3 LP back in the day. It even messes up some of the transitions (especially from Girls to Memphis Bells). Yet, I still wanted to own it one day. Not anymore, because this reissue sounds fantastic! Better than the CD, the mastering is beautiful. It obiously misses some of the original artwork because not being trifold, but that's okay.

The Prodigy's most unusual album. Still stands out from all the other albums. I like it more today than when I heard it in 2004.

An indescribable feeling to finally have my hands on this record after 20 years. That was the album from The Prodigy I consciously looking forward to. I was 13-14 back then. Girls' video was on heavy rotation on TV, I wrote letters to my local FM radio station to ask a DJ if he knew when the album would be out. And then there was Need For Speed Most Wanted and You'll be UNDER MY WHEELS, of course. Those were the days... I might be wrong, but to me, 2004-2005 were the years of some of the most polarizing/divisive/but at the same incredibly unique albums in music. At least in the music of my teenage, the period that I cherish and find myself transporting to a lot these days. Think "Encore", "How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb", "American Idiot", "The Poison", Reise, Reise", and many others. All of those are turning or have already turned 20. I hate time for flying so fast, but I also like the fact that I can it, or go back to it. At least, by means of music. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned... Hands down, the most experimental album by The Prodigy, and one of my most loved ones.

Killer sound, quiet press. 5 stars no doubt. Strongly recommended.

Just got mine in yesterday over here in the states. Very happy with the pressing quality & punchy sound.

An identic 2024 repress available. Don't give your money to the scalpers.

I don't know, I really don't know what to think about this album. I always kinda like it, but I didn't at the same time. I was extremely disappointed, that the album did not include "Baby's Got A Temper". If it was done in the style of this song, it could have been really powerful and a GREAT follow-up of "The Fat Of The Land". There are a few good songs, but it just seems wierd to not include a single song with Keith and Maxim, or a single song that sounds at least anything like The Prodigy. I can't give more than 3 stars, even tho it rightfully deserves 2. I'm sorry, but this is probably a similiar level of "badness", that "The Day Is My Enemy" has.

P.S. I understand Liam wanted to do something new, it definitely worked! But he should have thought about the fans too. Even if he actually did, the record label should have declined the release of this record. Real oddball of The Prodigy discography.
