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”.

Liam Howlett was recently asked to describe his band’s sixth studio album. “Violent is the word that keeps coming up”, was his reply. He’s not wrong. Aggression is the Prodigy’s strongest suit, their belligerence not only a point of difference, but a source of propulsion. After 2010’s curate’s-egg comeback, Invaders Must Die, the Prodigy have found their voice again and, in doing so, have actively plugged their music in to a continuum of bolshiness where punk syncs up with drum’n’bass, rock with hip-hop, dubstep with, er, psychobilly (bonus track Rise of the Eagles covers the Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster). It’s the punkiness that’s most notable. It’s there first and foremost in Ibiza, a collaboration with fellow travellers Sleaford Mods, which lays waste to the party island and its “rotten encrusted rocks”. It’s also in the barnstorming title track, featuring another bespoke contributor in Martina Topley-Bird, as well as in the refrain of Get Your Fight On (largely as you’d imagine it) or its Baba O’Riley-referencing breakdown. There are weak spots – Wall of Death regresses into formula, and there is also more than one outing for the Smack My Bitch Up beat – but this is still a full-throated return to form. –Paul MacInnes, Guardian
