Review of "Invaders Must Die" by The Prodigy

This song is not incredibly novel or groundbreaking in sound. However, it contains several song elements that have worked well in previous The Prodigy song, and combines them well. The song opens with a low, rhythmically pulsing bass, and quickly adds in other synthesizers that layer in. The scale seems to be minor pentatonic - simple and rock-like, nothing too out of the ordinary in the melodic department. Most of the melodic lines are very similar, meaning that there is nothing out of the ordinary but also nothing distracting from the song as a whole. The break sampled is also not incredibly complex, but in this case it works because it is complex enough to attract interest but not completely steal attention from other musical lines.
The form is mostly standard for a big beat song - the intro is short and quickly introduces the main song (no long trance-like buildup here). There is a drop shortly, an altered version of the main rhythm, another drop, a short reprise of the theme, and a quick outtro. The song keeps the intensity level mostly constant, the drops being short and not too different from the main sections.
This song uses a mix of sampled and synthesized instruments. The drum is most likely sampled, with significant distortion added - the drums sound grainy and lo-fi. The bassline and higher melody aspects are likely synthesized, as they sound very artificial, but it is possible that some variants of the bassline are provided by sampled and distorted bass guitars. In the middle register, much of the melody seems to be provided by sampled and distorted (and possibly compressed) guitar.
Overall judgement: Though this song is nothing new, memorable, or exceptional for The Prodigy, it is nonetheless a very enjoyable song to listen to.
