World’s on Fire
World's on Fire is The Prodigy's first live album, released in 2011 on their own Take Me to the Hospital label. It also served as their second DVD, so fans could both watch and hear the band's stage show. It arrived two years after the studio album Invaders Must Die, which makes it a look at the group in concert during that stretch of their career.
For anyone who knows the band mainly through records such as The Fat of the Land, this is a chance to hear their big beat and electronic rock sound in a live setting. It did well in Europe too: in October 2011 the Independent Music Companies Association awarded it a gold certification, marking sales of more than 75,000 copies across the continent.
