Con oltre 50,000 copie vendute in Gran Bretagna in soli 2 giorni, il nuovo album di The Prodigy è attualmente il disco più venduto nel Paese davanti ad artisti come Lily Allen, Morrissey, Lady Gaga ed altri.
Le cifre straordinarie di vendita e l'eccitazione del pubblico per un ritorno fra i più attesi danno per quasi certa l'entrata al #1 delle classifiche di vendita inglesi la prossima settimana mentre il singolo "Omen", il primo estratto dall'album, è già entrato al #4 della classifica.
"Invaders Must Die", nei negozi italiani da venerdì 20 febbraio, è già al numero #9 della classifica album di iTunes Italia.
Il nuovo album in studio sembra segnare una svolta nella carriera della formazione elettro-pop inglese iniziata 15 anni fa. The Prodigy non solo tornano per la prima volta nella line-up originale ma sembrano aver ritrovato anche la verve e la formula musicale vincente dell'album più blasonato "Fat Of The Land" come tutta la stampa europea sta commentando:
