Prodigy's Liam Howlett disses own song

Liam Howlett of The Prodigy has told NME that 'Baby's Got A Temper' was a poor single, ahead of the band's new album 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned'.

The Prodigy's Liam Howlett has dismissed one of his singles as "a fucking load of shit". 'Baby's Got A Temper' was released in 2002, while Howlett worked on the new Prodigy LP, and although it charted at Number Five in the UK, is not included on their new album.

Howlett has told NME: "It was a fucking load of shit. I didn't think it was shit at the time and I wanted to put something out to show people we were still around. I pulled on Keith (Flint) too much on that. Keith's lyrics are very introverted and that's not we're about. The Prodigy are about fist-in-the-air shit, real simple. But it was important because it showed me exactly where I shouldn't go."

New album 'Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned', is released on 23 Aug. The album features collaborations with Liam and Noel Gallagher, who appear on 'Shootdown', actress Juliette Lewis, who provides vocals on 'Hotride', Kool Keith, Princess Superstar, and Twista.
