The Day Is My Enemy is the sixth studio album by British electronic music group The Prodigy. It is the follow-up to 2009’s Invaders Must Die and was released on 30 March 2015 (and for Friday-release countries is on 27 March 2015). The album will be released by Three Six Zero Music/Warner Bros. Records in the United States. The first single, “Nasty”, was announced on the band’s Instagram and Facebook pages on 29 December 2014.

The album title is a reference to the Cole Porter song “All Through the Night”, in particular its lyrics “the day is my enemy, the night my friend”, although it is the Ella Fitzgerald version that first inspired the title track. On 26 January 2015 the band released the official audio for the title track “The Day Is My Enemy” on their official YouTube channel. On 23 February 2015 the band released the official music video for the third single “Wild Frontier”.

Three years after the release of their fifth straight U.K. chart-topping album, original electronic bad boys the Prodigy returned with their seventh collection of high-octane rave-punk anthems, No Tourists. Much like preceding albums The Day Is My Enemy and Invaders Must Die, No Tourists leaves little space to breathe, delivering a short and sweet set of blows to the head that was designed specifically for performing live. For better or worse, there aren’t many new ideas here, but main man Liam Howlett is so adept at crafting explosive body-shakers that the lack of fresh concepts can be overlooked. Aggressive and pounding, No Tourists benefits from the tight track list, kicking off with the muscular swagger of “Need Some1” — which combines the group’s early devotion to hip-hop beats and the stabbing synths indicative of their late era — and propelling without pause until closing highlight “Give Me a Signal,” which features English singer/songwriter Barns Courtney on a surprisingly fitting union between Courtney’s smoky blues voice and the Prodigy’s clattering mayhem. In between, it’s typically exhilarating, with songs such as “Light Up the Sky,” “We Live Forever,” and “Timebomb Zone” setting a straight trajectory toward festival headline stages. Keith Flint and Maxim appear when needed — though they aren’t as crucial to the formula as during the glory days of Fat of the Land — blending seamlessly between the breakbeats with animated mischief and ominous mantras. Elsewhere, spooky rap-punk duo Ho99o9 slather some grit onto a particularly threatening “Fight Fire with Fire,” but the collaboration offers little, serving as the sole stretch where the energy is not as completely overwhelming. Even though No Tourists is yet another same-sounding entry in the Prodigy’s late-era discography, it’s also another satisfying dose of thrills designed to wreck the dancefloor and the mosh pit.
