Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
''Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'' is the fourth studio album by English electronic music group The Prodigy. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 23 August 2004 under XL Recordings, and in North America on 15 September 2004 by Mute Records and Maverick Records. It was the last album from the band to be distributed under the labels. Recorded almost entirely using the Propellerhead Reason program, with the mastering being done on Pro Tools, the album contrasts with their previous releases, and features a larger use of vocals than the group's third album, ''The Fat of the Land'' (1997). The album title is a play on the name of the Walter Mosely novel ''Always Outnumbered, Always Outgunned''. It was produced entirely by Liam Howlett. Keith Flint's and Keith Palmer's (Maxim Reality's) vocals do not appear in this album. By this stage Leeroy Thornhill had left the group.
Despite achieving commercial success upon release, the album is among the band's lowest-sellers. Record labels who distributed ''Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'' dropped The Prodigy after the release of ''Their Law: The Singles 1990–2005'' one year later.
== Background ==
In 1996, The Prodigy rose to fame outside their native UK with "Firestarter", the lead single from ''The Fat of the Land'', which was released in 1997 and topped several charts, including the ''Billboard'' 200. The band ended the tour that promoted the album, taking a break from touring and recording and writing material for their fourth studio album. To coincide with the departure of Leeroy Thornhill during the period, the band shut down their official website for over two years, with its home page replaced with a logo of the band and the text "We will be back" set against a black background, leading to rumours that the band went on hiatus. The website was relaunched prior to releasing a new single in 2002.
The single released in that year, and one of the songs intended to be featured on the album was "Baby's Got a Temper". Generating controversy upon release for the lyrics by Keith Flint, which heavily focused on the misuse of the drug rohypnol, the song was met with mostly negative reviews from critics. Liam Howlett has since disowned the song.〔(''Nekozine'' online interview ) on 17 December 2003 by Andrea Schnepf with Liam Howlett, published 7 January 2004. Retrieved 4 May 2007.〕 Despite the apparently low popularity, the song reached the Top 5 position of the Canadian Singles Chart and UK Singles Chart.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Prodigy – Baby's Got A Temper )〕 The single was intended to be released as a single from the then-upcoming album. Eventually, the group went through another direction, and the plan to include the song on the album was cancelled. Because the single was a non-album single, in 2008, the band's official website's discography classified it as an EP.〔(EPs ) on 11 March 2008. Retrieved 8 July 2008.〕
