Music For The Jilted Generation

Best prodigy album ? I listened to it non stop as a kid and even now 30 years later it still fills me with joy.

Very good, I like the weight and combativeness of this album. It's also fun af.

One of the great British albums

Admittedly I was in a pretty bad mood when I finished this, but this is really something else. I feel like it’s kind of better than The Fat of the Land in like every way. I think there’s a lot of cool experimentation with sounds, they were really all over the place. It was also perfect hype music for me going into my AP test today. Just an absolute blast from start to finish. Favorites: Break & Enter, Voodoo People, Poison

The voodoo who do what you don't dare do people.. RIP Keith, much love to The Prodigy always.

I was still deep into metal and its many branches when this claustrophobic, seriously dark record came out. It shook a lot of my certainties and opened up a whole new set of possibilities for me. It felt like a hidden bomb at the time, but I know it hit just as hard for everyone around me who crossed paths with it. It’s also a radical turn after their first, much more dance oriented album… « I’ve decided to take my work back underground… ». Even if it’s clearly the next record that turned them into electro-punk icons and cemented their live reputation, Music for the Jilted Generation had a much bigger impact on me and still feels like a key milestone in more “traditional” electronic music. 32 years later, it only sounds … slightly dated… 😂

I guess I'm not techno-ly part of the jilted generation, but this album still speaks to me and I absolutely fucking love The Prodigy! Fat of the Land is my favourite album, but this is still full of great dirty electronica beats - perfect 'get shit done' music. Glad I have a little privacy barricade for the bottom of my office door so no one can see in - because I had myself a little one person silent rave (sorry/not sorry to the gallery downstairs who could probably here me jumping around!)

Oh intro, you are everything to me. By all means I shouldn't like Prodigy. It has all of the elements of what to me is not good music. Long tracks. No lyrics. Just that feeling of experiencing something rather than sitting down to listen to music. And yet, "Break & Enter" is such a surreal song. It transports the listener to this dystopian, technological future. It's not just sound. It's immersion. Their law is an almost 7 minute song that you can see took a village to make or was accidentally perfect. It has such a visceral homemade vibe. You can see someone tweaked with it until they got it just right. Full throttle falls just a bit flat for me. Beautiful use of goats though. Voodoo people is okay. When I die please someone play Poison before I go. No Good, alternatively I owe my life to. Could've gone without One Love, but oh well. 3 kilos is cool. Skylined was good, but couldn't be great. Claustrophobic sting on the other hand is so good it makes you wish this never ended. Masterpiece all around.

HISTORICAL MEGALITH of an album // not just defining for ebm / hardcore, but for the exact psychic weather of the mid-90s: soundtrack to post-rave comedown- optimism curdling into paranoia berlin wall aftermath, bosnia, rwanda, end of peace-and-unity rhetoric underground dance scenes splintering fast, no shared center anymore jungle going mainstream, four-to-the-floor mutating into harder, uglier forms drugs darker, weed heavier, “dark” and “darkside” becoming everyday language shift from party bravado to gothic intensity across music culture (cypress hill —> wu-tang) this album is precision-tooled for that moment // total divestment of cool or subtlety, all teeth and nerve endings // hardcore tempos, breakbeats, distortion, everything on the surface // disaffection expressed as a collective uugghh rather than theory or politics // their law isn’t nuanced, but it doesn’t need to be // start the dance (no good) shows how close the mainstream and underground already were // paranoia as rhythm, anger as propulsion // no skips, every track hits // poison and one love are core texts // pure gritted-teeth energy, which informs my personal visual language to this day

8.5/10

I enjoyed this a lot. Tracks like “Their Law” make me think that this style is what would happen if dubstep turned to the light side of the force.

Very naively hadn't appreciated just how much this album has influenced the dance music I listen to today. Absolute belters. Full Throttle in particular took me back to festivals from my late teens.

9/10 16.01.2026

Excellent !

Lekker techno achtste rock beetje horror film achting ja eens Flo! Ik vond het ook echt Nice en totaal anders dan andere metal achtste schreeuw muziek van lage kwaliteit uit zelfde tijd

This was really good! Much more obviously club music than the other albums of theirs I've listened to. "Break & Enter" "Their Law" "Voodoo People" and "Poison" were faves on here.

Big fan so it's an automatic 5. No Good is my favorite Prodigy song, plus there's a lot of other bangers here. I was pretty stoked and elated when the album popped up, great surprise to see an old favorite!

One of dance music’s defining albums

Had some of the wackiest sampling I've ever heard in an electronic album, so much fun to listen to and I was head bopping and vibing the entire time, this was a fantastic way to start off the year

I feel like I need one of those party light things that spin around to get the full experience of this album. I sadly don't have one of those but I had plenty of fun messing around with a flashlight on my car keys in the dark while listening to this. This is my kind of EDM right here. Maximum funny sounds with the feel of the soundtrack to an early 2000s flash game like The World's Hardest Game or something similar. Normally I'm not huge on EDM for the length of the songs, but this manages to hold my attention much better than a lot of what I've heard.

Still awesome!

Such a harsh electronic sound. I was a metal kid, but this won me over back in the 90s. The generator gave me "The fat of the land" last week, and hearing the two albums almost back to back, it's incredible how much happened to their sound over the 3 years.

Inject voodoo people straight into my veins

Wyśmienite i szybkie. 5

Might be a bit too long for current standards, but fuck that. This shit goes Hard nonetheless (even if it might just be my unconditional love for 90s Electronica.) 4.5 bumped up to 5.

I’m at a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5. Well, I’m still tired from moving around for a lot of that album, but in terms of pure musicality, this isn’t quite as good as “The Fat of the Land”. It’s composed about as strongly (with some great sample work throughout), but the energy of their follow-up isn’t as prevalent here, with a lot more lull spots in the instrumentation. There are tracks that could’ve been trimmed down here, which I can’t say for anything on “The Fat of the Land”. Instrumentally, a lot of the breakbeat standards are still here (and for 1994, probably a REALLY welcome shift from the poppier UK house tones of the time), but it’s combined early on with more of a metal / guitar-driven identity that slowly fades out over the course of the album, with a sort of sci-fi vibe substituting it in the latter half. I think there’s less beat drops here too? They’re still here, but they’re used to just transition in a sort of A to B, B to C, C to A, A to C, C to B sort of sense, as opposed to a stronger sense of constant progression that would keep each track fresh throughout. Again, “The Fat of the Land” does this better. It’s very hard not to compare the two, sorry. It’s easier to point out what this album doesn’t do as well in comparison, because otherwise, I’m not really sure I have that many active flaws with it. Yeah, it’s a little more stagnant at times, and not as “fresh” of a ball of energy as it could be throughout, but I’m still giving this a 4.5 bumped up to a 5 because I just fuck with this style of music enough that my little nitpicks aren’t affecting my enjoyment of this. It’s just not as good as its sequel, and that’s fine. It’s still REALLY good, especially if you have a taste for this style of music (sort of VGM-adjacent, as always) already. Overall, while 78 minutes is certainly a bit long (22 minutes longer than “The Fat of the Land”), since I allowed myself to zone out just a little more than I usually would for this one, it never felt as prevalent in terms of the length while I was in the moment. Granted, I’m feeling that length a little more now, after the fact, but time flies when you’re… I dunno, bopping your head along a lot? If you can find that space to sit in, those 78 minutes won’t feel as long, & they may even fly by. It’s a 4.5 that I’ll bump up to a 5, but I do understand the relatively big difference in ratings on the site (3.41 vs 3.07). It’s just not as good as its sequel, but it’s a good album in its own right, and its highest highs do feel pretty close to some of The Fat of the Land’s best tracks, ESPECIALLY “No Good (Start The Dance)”. I enjoyed it, at least.

😎🔥

Lowkey defiant.

Good bopping beats

Genius

Classic

Probably my first unexpected five out of five stars. This truly is the sound of the 90s when it comes to electronic dance music.

I thought this was fantastic. Again, whiplash from previous albums but so worth it. Better than Fat of the Land (but not by much). Yes the length is a drawback but they do so, so much with every track and with the album as a whole. So much energy, so much variety. I am really, really impressed. Well done chaps.

Was expecting this one to not reach the highs of FotL but aside from a brief lull prior to The Narctoic Suite (last 3 tracts) this is non stop awesome

like a better version of fat boy slim, this was awesome, we all need a bit of this in life. best tracks: voodoo people, no good (start the dance)

Amazing, similar to massive attack but harder

High energy EDM. I like this better than their other album on the list, Fat of the land, which is generally considered to be their masterpiece. FOTL has some redundancy, this album doesn't. It has everything that makes FOTL good, and it doesn't have much of Keith Flint, which is a good thing to me. Favorite song: Poison.

Absolutely awesome album sooo hype

I love this album.

Love this album. His was the first album I ever heard that made me think electronic music could be angry, and subversive, and in your face. While not as song-perfect as Fat of the Land, this album slaps, as the kids say. 4.5 stars.

fuck yes, another prodigy pick. this one compared to the last one is pure, pumping RAVE. it's so big and bassy it's almost scary. a good scary, mind you. techno tracks so aggressive you might feel like the music will shoot out of the speakers and beat you senseless. is it happy hardcore? is it metal? what even is this? it's such a sound so typical of the group, and yet it's also a sound that's uniquely by them and them alone. nobody else can do it like them. that's why this album is legendary to me.

That was not what I was expecting from the cover. That was one of my favorite electronic albums I've gotten on the project. I can see why they were referenced as the Godfathers of Rave. Rating: 4.8

I've heard plenty of individual numbers from The Prodigy over the years, but listening to this marks my first full album experience with them—and I thought it was great! At first I assumed the onslaught of the hyperactive beats would wear me out after a track or two, but the artist managed to successfully switch things up enough throughout the entire work that I kept leaning in, wanting more. It was interesting to learn that this album was apparently a response to the UK's 1994 Criminal Justice Bill, which specifically targeted breakbeat electronica and other “rave” music. I had absolutely no idea that anyone ever dreamed of proposing legislation—let alone actually passing it—that specifically targets a genre of music and particular musical characteristics. It's temping to make a proclamation that this album may have singlehandedly created a sub-genre of science fiction and forecast a decade of musical experimentation—but that may be too bold, too ignorant. What is clear is that I definitely enjoyed it.

Not my favourite Prodigy album, and maybe a little overlong, but it still gets an easy five stars.

Never actually listened to this fully before. Only for sure was aware of "Voodoo People" which is an electronic dance masterpiece. After a short intro you get "Break & Enter" which is a bold, dark yet very groovy statement. This should be a fun listen. So far interesting how this album so far does not seem to be mixed very loudly at all, I guess loudness wars haven't started yet at that point in time, the mix sounds very good. Edit: nevermind, this came out in '94, great year for music. My verdict is a strong 4.5/5.0 but on 1001albumsgenerator it will have to be 4 stars. Enjoyable ride, worth REVISIT. On the other hand might even give 5 stars but still strong 4.5 for me, no more, no less.

I wasn't sure what I was getting into when I started this one. Like many I suspect, my exposure to The Prodigy was primarily singles from the Fat of the Land: Firestarter, Smack My Bitch Up, Breathe. As the album continued, I started to understand. There's a lot of depth and variety to this album. So much more than many of The Prodigy's peers. Where some of those seem to have tracks for the sake of dividing up an otherwise homogenous album, this one is varied, layered, even subtle in places... you know, *interesting*.

I love the prodigy and while not as good as Fat Of The Land, this is a great album. The thing I really love about this kind of music and the simple lyrics is they work often better than something that might be more specific. Fuck Their Law repeated gets you the same idea if they tried to hide it, and well, they were not trying to hide it.

Nominated for etafb (every track a fucking banger)

This sounds better today than it did 30+ years ago, and it was pretty awesome back then.

Yessss lfg

Aphex Twin this, Chemical Brothers that. I feel like Prodigy doesn't get recognized as much as it should. Staple of EDM.

We walk in the footprints of giants

Not much to say here. Grew up on this record and still love every single track today. Perfect. Liam is a genius. Again.

banger

I was a rock/punk/metal kid who thought if it didn’t have loud guitars it was worthless. Then, of all people, my mum handed me this on tape and told me to listen. It’s still in my regular rotation to this day

Forgot about Poison. What a jammm

It's kind of funny because while every element of the signature Prodigy sound (aggressive breakbeats, acid synths, sample hooks) is all there, it still sounds like a setup for the classic Prodigy sound we all know, just because neither Keith is involved on vocals. But as a pure head rush from start to finish, it's hard to beat this. If the rave doesn't sound like this, I don't want to come.

Love it.

God damn this is good. My 8 year old son said it make him want to dance and go fast and thats good enough for me. A seminal album in moving electronic music forward. This added danger and anger and industrial scuzz and its brilliant for it. The mid album run is about as good as it gets.

Exciting to be doing my first duplicate artist, as I've already had The Fat Of The Land and absolutely loved it. This album came out when I was only a couple weeks old, so I was excited x2. Excitement not misplaced, as it was fantastic. It's a beast of an album though, I didn't see the run time when starting and only noticed when I thought "wow, this song is long.... oh, so is this one" and so on. I can usually get through a full album on my bus ride to work, barely got through half of this. Very much what I expected based on their other album - fat beats, a lot of drum, lots of low bass-y noises and ethereal synths, quite industrial and grunge for EDM, an almost total lack of anything resembling traditional music like melody/song structure/lyrics (not a criticism for me, is for others) and never being bored the entire play through, which is a feat for an album so long. Being more "noise" than "music" it can be hard to see meaning and themes, but it's there. A lot of sonic variety too, bits of everything scattered throughout and it manages to sound of the time but also fresh, or maybe that's just because it's new to me. But it doesn't sound likes it's dated and poorly-aged, like Remedy by the Basement Jaxx for example (still good, but you can see its age). It starts strong and keeps going right through until ending with a bit more chill, atmospheric stuff (but still EDM, of course). 3 Kilos is especially representative of that - it's a real big change in the vibe of the album, but works incredibly well and signposts a really good 3-track close out to the album, I enjoyed the whistles. Found Speedway a bit... comical? The racing car sample was repeated so much it became funny, still a decent track otherwise though. Nothing bad on this album. The laughing loop on Claustrophobic Sting is absolutely intoxicating too, loved it. The glass breaking in Break & Enter too, it's weaved in so perfectly. The opening sample/lyrics in Their Law as well as Poison's office sounds opening, too - "oh fuck sake, tryin ta write this fuckin tune man", very relatable every time I get a phone call too. Seems each song has a distinct sample/sound it's built around, which I love. What I would pay to be able to go back to the 90s and get completely wiped dancing to this at a club. Plays: 2 Most: No Good (Start the Dance) Least: The Heat (The Energy), but Full Throttle also - still like both, but find them a bit jarring at points. And the "yeah-e-uh" vocals in the former are very dated imo, not a fan. Rating: 5

Täydellinen levy! Eihän tämän kovempia bileitä olekaan! 5/5

One of my favorites

10/10. While I'm no longer as into EDM as I was as a pre-teen, something about The Prodigy's music just scratches an itch in me. I love their music!!! :)

5.0 - Awesome

legendary!

Classic

Instant five

Classic. Still does its thing

Manages to sound so very of it's era, and yet there is such freshness and energy in the music that it still leaves you in a state of awe. It's a towering achievement. The variety of tracks is astonishing given some of the boundaries of dance music usually. Everything from Jazz flute to Jean-Michel Jarre is put in the pot and the result is just staggering. Love it!

Banger Voodoo People (spesielt Pendulum remixen) er killer. No Good og 3 Kilos er krem.

The Prodigy are the greatest dance act of all time and probably the most important band in my life. The reason I got into music. Left it to the last for that reason and glad I did.

Fuck ‘em, and their law Relisten to the first two Prodigy albums every few years, and think they’re still very good, especially Jilted Generation - in hindsight, a clear stepping stone on the way to Boards Of Canada (you could easily hide 3 Kilos in MHTRTC), the best to ever do it.

The epitome of “The DJ saved my life on the dance floor tonight.” Front to back, this is a transcendental experience: crushing, abrasive, rebellious, and yet, spiritual, contemplative, and nuanced. With little lyrics or themes to latch on to, all you have is the music, which feels like it is simultaneously timeless, of its time out of the rave scene, and could be released tomorrow and still sound fresh and mind-bending. I liked The Fat of the Land a lot, but Music for the Jilted Generation is something so much deeper. This is a special record, one that works well track by track, but can change your life when put together. 78 minutes have never felt so short and all-absorbing. My ass was SAT!!! I’m blown the fuck away. What a fucking masterpiece. Literally, words can’t explain what the music can with this one.

Excellent!!

Yes, yes, good for me...

Outstanding album!!! Still relevant, and always be.

I like it! Perfect album! Masterpiece! Voodoo People, The Heat and No Good are amazing!

CHOOOOON!

good for me

Boom, easy 5* for me. I totally get why other people might not like the Prodigy, particularly this album. It's abrasive and in your face, but it's trying to be. Not every album has to be 'beautiful', 'soulful' or a 'thoughtful masterpiece' - sometimes you just need punching in the face. "Yes, but so many people make music like that, why is this one 5*?" Virtually everyone that has made albums like this after the Prodigy did it worse, or said that they never would have been making music we're it not for Liam, Maxim and Keith. Jilted... Isn't just an album, it's a cornerstone in music history

Fantastic.

I went into this having already enjoyed the clusterfuck that is 1997's 'The Fat of the Land'. And this monster is certainly a clusterfuck in its own right but in a far less "obviously" charming way. Despite being released only 3 years before its more popular younger brother, I found this album's metal, electronic, and big-beat fusions to sound significantly more dated. It's a different thing entirely though, the songs here are longer and more repetitive, and there are barely any vocals. There's no standout banger like 'Firestarter' either. And yeah this album is fucking stupid, and I thought I was going to hate it, but no, I love it. And not even in a "it's so bad it's good" kinda way. Like the beats here are big, the sample choices are consistently interesting, and the vocal snippets with the "fuck 'em and their law" of 'Their Law' or the garbled "The Energy" on 'The Heat (The Energy)' or the "I've got the poison!" of 'Poison' are all utterly hilarious. The album is too long for its good, this album cover is atrocious, and certain switch-ups make absolutely no sense - but I was enjoying every minute of this nevertheless. Those break-neck speed drums and subtle switch-ups sound like cars blowing up beside you in a Tokyo street race, especially on 'Voodoo People', an absolute adrenaline rush with what sounds like a subtle fiddle hit guiding the track through its various phases. This song is so masterfully over the top, I love it. 'Poison' is relentlessly funky with those distorted bass hits and acid-house leanings. I love the bassline on 'No Good (Start the Dance)', maybe the most straight-up electronic cut here. '3 Kilos' is super chilled out compared to everything else here - it serves to round out the whole album experience quite nicely. But I understand I was just in the right headspace for this. If I was annoyed or irritated this could've easily ended up being my least favorite album, like ever. Instead, it ended up being one of my favorites from this list so far. Funny how things work. It's like the music "Resident Evil 4" if anyone gets that reference...a fundamental masterpiece masked in a layer of tack that only serves to make it more enjoyable.

I forgot how great this is. After the first few tracks I remembered and by the end I wanted to rave like there’s no morning.

I have this on CD (that's how old I am). As soon as I saw it come up, I knew it was a 5*. It's very gentle in places, 3kilos for instance, nice ones to dance to as well, with No Good (Start the dance) then Poison, which is a little more raucous and a bit more on what was to come with Fat of the Land. Love this album and I'll listen to it more again now.

This brings back so many memories. I listened to this album more times than I can remember. I can unashamedly say that these were the best years of my life. The Prodigy were so in tune with the youth of the time, these songs are timeless, like a soundtrack of the 90's to me. I think the lesser-known tracks are better than the hits.

Another in the 'this album changed my life' category.

We're back to extremely unsurprising ratings, but come on, this album has always whipped out loud.

Thinking back, I always considered this "the less good Prodigy album" compared to Fat of the Land, and listening back to it now I don't quite know why? It's got some absolute bangers on here, and despite it being the pre-Kieth Flint era it still pounds ahead with track after track of hard-dance furiosity. A hell of a listen, and I'll definitely be putting it back on in the near future! Faves: Speedway, Voodoo People, One Love, Their Law

Full Throttle Overall Notes: When I was 16 I went on my first solo abroad trip to meet my extended German family. I stayed with my great aunt who had a 27 year old son who would hang out with me on the weekends when he wasn't teaching. Really cool guy but I was 16 and didn't really know how to socialize with someone that much older than me so I was pretty quiet most of the time. One day he took me into Hannover to show me the skatepark he used to fuck up as a kid and asked me what kind of music I listened to. When I said a little bit of everything, he said "Have you ever heard of The Prodigy?". My dad had "Breathe" on his road trip CD but I hadn't listened to anything outside of it. He told me "That's awesome I didn't know the kids still listened to The Prodigy. Ready to have your mind blown?" and he turned up the speakers in his beat up VW van to the max and B L A S T E D their stuff. Flying down the Autobahn, music so loud I couldn't do anything but laugh and headbob. One of my most formative music memories right there. In terms of this album, I know it's going to get slaughtered by the people not getting this on the right day but please please PLEASE crank this shit if you get the chance. 4.5 rounded up.

If aliens—or current toddlers—ever end up asking what rave sounds like, this is the album. It is to rave what Nevermind is to grunge. And 30 years later, rave as a concept, activity and culture, probably inarguably has the larger global significance. Plus, personally, I love this album. It sounds like being 14 again.

Wicked

What a sick album, just banging beats front to back. This is more pure beats and samples, very light on vocals compared to later Prodigy that most would be familiar with. Just a great time listening to this, couldn't sit still had to keep bopping along while getting some work done.

Love this. Great album.

Awesome. Powerful. Great album. Don’t need to say anything else.

Lots of bangers

Glorious!

9/10 I was a big fan of this when it came out, did not expect to to still sound so amazing. Testament to the production of Liam Howlett, a huge talent. Almost a perfect album, insanely good tunes with a few genuine classics in there. Great mix of breakbeat, rave, acid, techno. Clever stuff. Best: No Good (Start The Dance)

My favorite Prodigy album. Total banger. Pure energy.

Amazing, revolutionary, exceptional - one of my favourites! Love love love.

Im the law and you can't beat the law Fuck em and their law Crack down at sundown Fuck em and their law Revolutionary and foundational. Amazing album. 5/5

Knew them vaguely (Firestarter, Invaders Must Die, etc.) but hadn't done an in-depth listen to their work until now. This has started me down a musical rabbit hole that I ABSOLUTELY love.

As a young teenager introduced to The Prodigy via music videos and Wipeout 2097, I always had a preference for Fat of the Land, but in retrospect I do think this is their best album. A truly groundbreaking mix of techno/rave/big beat/electronica, it still managed to cross over to alt/rock nerds like me who'd never set foot inside a rave, through it's punk energy, aggressive beats, and impeccably layered production. There is some cringeworthy circa-1990 dance on this list that has aged extremely poorly. It's amazing the difference a few years make, this is anything but. It still sounds big, bold, fresh, interesting and utterly timeless.

This shit is awesome. I am listening to it as I type my review as fast as I can. There is a drip of sweat running down my brow and someone is shouting at me in the background so that I work faster.

Starkes Album, steht zum Glück bei mir im Regal

Samen met Bad van Michael Jackson is dit album denk ik door mij het meest beluisterd. Liam maakt een kunst van het hergebruik van muziek van anderen. Met het gebruik van een Nirvana riff voor Voodoo People als hoogtepunt. Niet alles heeft zo'n metamorfose. 3 Kilos is wellicht juist weer zo fijn omdat het zo dicht bij het origineel blijft. Naast deze nummers biedt het album ook nog de klassieker Poison met één van de beste manieren om de beat te droppen. Het is bijna alsof de tijd vertraagt. En het bevat de alleen op vol volume en bij voorkeur live te beluisteren energie-rammer Their Law. Als we dat op een rijtje zetten, zit er nogal wat verschil tussen de nummers. Their Law en 3 Kilo's zijn zo ongeveer uitersten in het breakbeat-genre. Ook opvallend voor mij. Als ik zo de top 4 eruit licht, zit de andere klassieker No Good daar niet eens bij. Wow, dan is de rest vet. 10 sterren!

"Klassenavond, lauwe cola, bakken met chips". En dan je nieuwe hakkoe-moves uitproberen. Al was dit dan niet gabber, maar de meer 'toegankelijke' techno en breakbeat van the Prodigy. Die herinnering heb ik aan No Good. Of op Romereis een oortje van de discman delen met die gast in dat Waxweazle t-shirt, terwijl we de gebouwen met historie negeerden en meer op weg waren naar de volgende kar om een ijsje te kopen. Of in Luxemburg op een camping staan, omdat daar blijkbaar een zonsverduistering gaat plaatsvinden. Al was het toen meer lauwe Bofferding ipv lauwe kola. (En dat was ook eigenlijk het volgende album, Fat of the Land). Oftewel, er zit enige nostalgie in de muziek van the Prodigy. Fat of the Land krijgen we nog als het goed is. Ik zou ze achter elkaar moeten draaien om nog eens goed te beoordelen welk album beter is. Voordeel is wel, dat ik allebei de albums vaak genoeg heb gehoord (al dan niet in de shuffle-bak van winamp) om eigenlijk alles te herkennen.

I forgot what kind of music Prodigy makes and was dreading this one. The cover looks metal but the music was groovy.

Haha! I listened to this just the other day anyway! It's probably my favourite Prodigy album and "Poison" is my favourite Prodigy song. It captures their sound having developed from a sort of tinny sound of the early rave scene like "Charlie says" and "Going to outer space, find another race" and all that, but before they got that bombastic metal/dance sound of "Firestarter" and the annoyingly antagonistic "Smack my Bitch Up" and so on. This was a time when the rave scene felt like it was actually revolutionary and allied to all sorts of counter-culture stuff. Maybe it was, maybe it wasn't but after this it went into the mainstream.

Genre defining, possibly. Sounding better in 2024, definitely

Excellent rave music

love this!!!!!

made me want to go back to 90s techno and jungle. love this album and many other prodigies

Fuck 'em, and their law.

Awesome!

Perfect 10/10 👍

great energy

**buys tickets to Prodigy**

Absolutoria belter of an album! Peak prodigy

Very fun listen. What more do you need.

At first I was worried it would be too "proto EDM", as in it would be really basic and repetitive like a lot of 90 electro is. Turns out I really loved it! The beats are indeed simplistic compared to modern edm, but in this case I found it to be a good thing because it perfectly balanced with the eclectically changing beats and the unique sound sampling. It made me realize that a lot of modern EDM is actually very oversaturated with noise and that sometime a more refined beat is better.

Banging choons

A few years before they would hand Keith Flint the mic to sing on their biggest hits, The Prodigy released this classic which, might not be as flashy as Fat of the Land but probably holds up better.

Never before had someone created music that was equally good for driving, fighting, and working real fast on the computer. Pop this on and do your taxes in like... twenty minutes. The Matrix (1999) could not have happened without this music preexisting it. It is the hidden glue. Give Hackers (1995) credit for putting the first pieces together for us.

Very good! Genre defining and one of the best of this type

Dope af!!!

Great!

I wasn't expecting this much of fun listening to this album, Very entertaining

Didn’t like it on first listen, but the beats are great. Pumps you up, great vibes. Best to listen through full album at once

Intro/Break & Enter - this is made for the Matrix if it also took place in the Bomberman 64 soundtrack. (5/5 i like the kind of 90s House Electronic thing) Their Law - oh wow these tracks stay pretty long huh. damn okay i unironically fuck with this. (5/5 the shredding?) Full Throttle - this is the same fucking song that the one guy did "Fuck You I'm Late" or whatever. this fucks (5/5 it's like video game music) Voodoo People - holy shit i had never heard that outside of the tiktok trend. that was so jarring. (5/5 it still fucks) Speedway - a little repetitive but a light bop. (4/5) The Heat - this actually feels like an uncanny dream that is strange but doesn't freak you out enough to be a nightmare. (5/5 it sounds like Miku is on the beat) Poison - so far the strangest song of the bunch. the sharp drum beat is very Clubbed to Death on the Matrix soundtrack. (4/5) No Good - very warpled so far. i had to check and see if they were connected to the Matrix. some of the techniques feel the exact same. (4/5) One Love - this is a weird alternate universes' version of Mario Kart songs. (5/5 this fucks) 3 Kilos - i think this album is gonna get a 5/5. 90s electronic was so fun. (5/5) Skylined - not my favorite song so far. (3/5 kinda disappointed) Claustrophic Sting - i feel like i've heard this song before. (5/5 never heard of this song) i love this y2k/90s electronic vibe. i really enjoyed this. 5/5

Awesome!

Great album. Wild. But, massive heroin/chaos vibes

¡Venga, un 5!

Ah man, I used to dance…

first 5 star comeonnnnnnnn

Great hard hitting, perfect DIY music

Always enjoyable

pretty cool, not what I'm used to listening to

Always happy to listen to The Prodigy. This album is a wonderful mix of their dance roots with a mean streak of industrial mixed in. Still sounds awesome to this day.

Überraschend Elektro lastig

Easy 5 *, listened to this album my entire life, one of my favourites of all time.

One of my favourite of any type of music, although behind Experience. The amount of great songs in this album is amazing. Excellent!

Brilliant!

My mind is glowing..

Mainstreamová taneční hudba ušla za 20 let dlouhou cestu, během které ale někde blbě odbočila a ztratila se, protože tohle je pořád nářez.

¡Venga, un 5!

First thought to give this 4 out of 5 just because it doesn't get close to the greatness of its successor. But anyways, this was the album that paved the way to The Fat Of The Land, both in sound and catchiness, this one deserves 5 out of 5 too.

I loved this

The anger felt by the Criminal Justice Act of '94 making it basically illegal to dance is amplified through this album. The band, once interesting but throwaway had transformed into a beast from hell. Rave beats mixed with punk riffs. I got to see a few shows they played around this time and they still stand as some of the most exciting live acts

Stunning album.

A+ 90s techno, feel like the coolest hacker listening to it while working

Excellent album. Punchy, unique, strong, thrusting. You will always always have a smile on your face to this. Excellent UK race with punk, metal, D&B, jungle elements. What a mix.

Not even the best Prodigy album (it's actually a decline from their debut, though admittedly a decline that starts with three five star albums), but darker than Experience, with both the anti rave Criminal Justice Act (as ever, Eff the Tories) and darker, RZA style production radicalising their sound. You can't argue with an album that has Their Law, Voodoo People, No Good AND Poison. Have a pinger, whip your shirt off, and enjoy.

Beastly album! Sounds a lot cleaner than I remember it.

Amazing mix between synth and guitars, powerful music , great for workout!

I listened to this album thousands of times in college, so it's hard to be objective. Obviously a classic.

Great album!

An impressive feat of a rave album that can be listened to and enjoyed outside the club

IS THE BEST ALBUM OF THE WORLD

Impressed at how well this stands up. It was a staple album as a teenager, way more important to me than Fat of the Land...it hit as I started drinking and hanging out and was a bit of a soundtrack to both getting ready and hangovers. Listening today It still sounded fresh, intense and vital.

Ketamina

EPIC HARDCORE STUFF MAGIC PEOPLE MAGIC PEOPLE VOODOO PEOPLE VOODOO PEOPLE LIAM HAWLETT MAXIM REALITY THIS IS IT MOVE IT BOUNCE IT POW POW LET'S GO TRANCE RAVE TECHNO BEAT FEEL IT EVERYBODY BREAK THE FLOOR

Excellent stuff

Bangers!!

Incredible energy, proper banger

sonzao eletrônico muito massa, melodias ricas

Very good. I love this band, but this album is not as good as The Fat of the Land.

Classic album of my misspent youth😁

The last Prodigy album that's ace from start to finish. My CD copy of this always used to skip like buggery at the 3 song suite at the end, it's nice to listen to it without having to regularly get up and batter the hi fi.

Classic!

I was a big fan of this album back in the 90s, and today it still sounds awesome. The first few tracks may seem a bit slow and repetitive, but it builds up to the first real high with Full Trottle. This continues with until Heat, where we take a bit of a breather, but halfway that song things blow up again and after One Love we enter the 'narcotic suite', the three tracks that finish off the album. My mind is glowing.

MY MIND IS GLOWING I had this on fairly heavy rotation when I was a teenager, but it has been years since I listened to it in full. I expected it to have aged worse than it has though, it's still fantastic! A truly groundbreaking album in electronic music, and music in general. Some of the songs may be a bit too lengthy and repetitive for some listeners, but overall I think this is a big improvement on their first album, and still stands as one of the best albums of the 90s. The only songs on here I don't enjoy as much are "The Heat" and "One Love", I don't hate them though.

As always, amazing!

Banger

Wauw! Back to the 90s met dit album dat ik letterlijk grijs gedraaid heb in mijn "jeugd! Ongelooflijk als bijna alle nummers op een album geweldig zijn! *****

This album is the perfect bridge between Experience and Fat of the Land. I first saw The Prodigy live around the time of Experience. That was full on rave, whistles, fluoro, lots of white. This album was much darker, more experimental and angry. Set against the background of the criminal justice bill (later act) and the crackdown on rave culture, this was clearly a political album in many ways. Being in my last years of secondary education, this album was perfectly timed to be the background of many hours of gaming. No Good, One Love, Poison, Their Law. All really strong tracks. Not as commercial as Fat of the Land but hugely influential.

I would not have guessed it from the cover, but this album suited me well! The driving beats like this are great accompaniment, especially when I am trying to keep myself motivated and on task with work or chores (of which I was doing a bit of both today). A keeper!

A fun endless dance party to accompany my boring workday. Very nice!

I have The Prodigy’s debut album and liked it back in the 90s, but it has been over 20 years since I have listened to them. I’m not sure how hard-edged rave is going to go over with me today. ……………………………….. Thankfully, quite well. Apocalyptic rave music is a perfect soundtrack to the world today. I really loved this album! Rave on!

iconic

Great album. A little high energy for me, but loved it. Excellent work of punk electronica

Interesting to play this so close to the moby album as the prodigy certainly made dance music popular and brought the undergroundelement to the mainstream. What can I say this album came at a time when I needed it. I remeber marching against the cjd bill in Bristol with their law blasting away. no good to my mind is still to this day one of the finest if not the finest dance tune ever made. its stayed in my head for ever. All the songs had something Mobys didn't and that was attitude

Relentless perfection, so many happy memories...

Banging retro electro.

I was in my only-metal phase when this first came out so I recoiled from it at the time, but grew to love it not too many years later. Some absolute bangers on here! Fave track - whilst I appreciate the bangers, this album won me over with the final three trancey/ambienty tracks "3 Kilos -> Skylined -> Claustrophobic Sting" 😍

I listened to this album a lot in college. This took me back and I enjoyed it.

Peak Prodge, by far!

A banger

This one is going to be in high rotation for workout music for me for a while. I love the energy. The music is full of surprises too. Every song is a marathon dance jam with twists and turns and layers of details in the mix. Amazing production. I love how they use sound effects in the music. There’s breaking glass in “Break & Enter,” a pitch-corrected voice that sounds like a dying cat in “Their Law,” and race cars and car alarms in “Speedway.” The album has an eclectic mix of dance/techno styles and a lot of different vocal samples that make it a great, varied front-to-back listen. Even some more upbeat stuff (that flute melody in “3 Kilos” is great!). I wasn’t familiar with this beforehand but it definitely feels like a classic of the genre.

Accessible techno classic

5 star. Love every track.

What a cool look into what early EDM was like!

Absolutely brilliant album and dare I say it, better than The Fat of the Land

this used to be my preffered album to listen to when i came home too wired to go straight to bed. i am now old and that no longer happens.

RIP Keef. If this was a footballer it'd be Razor Ruddock. (Not for his football ability).

Amazing album. I was aware of and enjoyed The Prodigy beforehand; I can't believe I let this album by.

great rave music, or in my case great for keeping me motivated whilst working.

Great album. Never listened to it before but thoroughly enjoyed it.

Второй альбом The Prodigy демонстрирует плавный переход от чистого рейва Experience к электропанку легендарного The Fat of the Land. При загрузке материала под завязку на 1 час 18 минут, альбом слушается на одном дыхании. Ураганный рейв сменяется цепляющими хитами и уносит в космос на последних треках.

Awesome

Banger from start to finish, an album that means so much to me, learning the running man, first cd I ever bought. Untouchable.

One of my all time favorites, this is my childhood

A fantastic dance album with a lot of distorted sounds that make it also appealing to a rock orientated audience.

good

Good stuff! Just absolutely love this band!

early prodigy, before fat of the land but not the earliest, after charly/jericho/out of space lots of good stuff, trails off near the end tho 💥their law 💥full throttle 💥voodoo people 💥poison 💥no good (start the dance) 💥one love

Pleasant

I enjoyed this more than I thought I would! The prodigy are usually too harsh for my tastes, though this album had a good beat that I fell into quite easily.

Interesting. Need to listen a few times more.

super dope. sounds like the inspiration for a lot of house these days

Shit, this was really good. I can see why people went crazy for this back in the day.

This record bangs. Favourite Track(s): Full Throttle, No Good (Start the Dance) Least Favourite Track(s): Claustrophobic String

I loved this and there really is no band quite like The Prodigy. I recently saw a drum and bass show live and this album brought me back to that show at times. I liked this a lot.

Full Throttle and Voodoo Music are absolutely in my wheelhouse, I would have had a great time listening to that at Movement. The whole thing is just all over the place in a way that, Poison and the Howard Dean screaming aside, gets more enjoyable as the album progresses. The Narcotic Suite coming out of the bullpen to shut it down is great fun.

Needs to be listened to at maximum volume in a dirty ass warehouse for the full and complete experience.

The 90s top trance metal dance

Makes me want to down a can of SURGE!!!

not as good as their follow up, but still a banger 3.5/5

The vibe was surprising based on the album art, but I suppose I shouldn't judge a book by its cover. 7/10

Tko kmal spet The Prodigy! Ta album pa nč ne poznam. Očitno je en pred The Fat of the Land. Drugi, "Break & Enter" mi je skoz svojih 8 minut in 24 sekund prirasel k srcu. "Their Law" je en teh komadov, k že od začetka dojameš, da bo a banger. Je pa prvi, k me spomni na zvok naslednjega albuma. "Full Throttle" je kar naslov obljublja. Nevermind, "Voodoo People" mi je poznan. Umirjenost "The Heat (The Energy)" prou paše po prejšnjem intenzivnem formula 1 komadu ( "Speedway (Theme From Fastlane)"). Ha, gre že ritem up to 11. "No Good (Start the Dance)" je hud. "One Love" mi je skor preveč intense. Ta zadnji trije so isto hudi. Ej, kul. Ni mi tok všeč k sledeči, ampak je bil nad mojimi pričakovanji.

A lot more drum and bass/techno heavy than fat of the land I'd say where the tracks are more structured, could see more of this being in clubs. It's still very good but not quite as much my thing. Voodoo people and their law are a cut above the rest. Would happily listen to again in the right mood but the other tracks don't demand as much attention.

Prodigy are a weird one for me, I think I enjoy them, but every time a track from fat of the land comes on my playlist, I skip it. I've not heard this one before, but again, I enjoyed it. Overall less jarring and aggressive than fat of the land. I know voodoo people, poison, and no good. Enjoyed 3 kilos too, more chilled. Not really my thing but it's good, 3.5

Dieser Lieder müssen im Club so geknallt haben

boom boom boom

This was great, if a little long. I don't quite think it's at the level of Fat of The Land, but it's still very Prodigy sounding and has that trademark mix of hard break/big beat style and danceable 90's rave music. The sample work is still incredible and I read that a few live guitars are used in this as well, which is neat. I've listened to this album before so none of it was really new to me. The trilogy at the end makes a big shift to that rave style, long track music that's a bit of a shift from the rest, but there are tracks like that on all Prodigy albums I've heard. I realize the sound is a bit dated but it's still so unique. Great listen.

Okay, you might choose to rate this low and that's your prerogative. Your low rating is actually on the 1001 challenge for not mailing its users ecstasy and glow sticks to go along with the album.

Starkes Stück Nostalgie.

Raving in a warehouse kind of music. I've listened to some Prodigy before, but not this album. Maybe it's beep boop music, but it was alright. 4*

All over the place electric... Saved

Really enjoyed that. Huge album in the electronic scene 4/5

Anarchy and chaos but kept interesting. High energy music to get you into the zone and fired up. 4/5

I don't underestimate the importance of this record. I knew it when it was released, but it wasn’t huge here. It wasn’t culture here. Raves weren’t culture here. I think I missed out on something massively important. I’ll never really get the “fuck you” that this record was, even though I know that intellectually.

Liked it. Electronic music is underrepresented in this list. More please

My chronically online gen-Z ass brain was shocked when the main riff of Voodoo People came on. Jokes aside, a genuinely good 90's rave record. It hits and keeps going all the way through. The hooks and drops are solid.

An aggressive 90s album, which embodies that 90s EDM. It was fun but not super special

289/1089 some fun clubby electronic music, gives me such nostalgic vibes and this sound will always be what i hear in my head when i think of “the future” faves: 3 kilos, The heat, Their law, Break & enter 70/100

I rather loved this! :) I slightly preferred Fat of the Land, but this was also excellent!

Listened to it while cranking out some miles on a bike trip and was good. Probably would get tired of it if I was just sitting around listening to music though.

Good quality high energy dance music.

An electronic record that tells a story is as rare as a prog album that won't get on your nerves, but somehow The Prodigy's second release is just this, even or especially if that story is up to our own imaginations. It's actually impossible not to be distracted while listening to this thing, so one doesn't exactly take in the story as one continuous stream, but distraction is a part of this album's design: if you've gone somewhere else, that's the point, is it not? There's also something to be said about music this corporeal, this somatic - I literally couldn't get my leg to stop its reactive momentum - that is also cognitively supportive. Eno's ambient releases are good for writing, but this is good for dancing as well as thinking. I mean it. Get work done.

Started this whole thing off with the prodigy. Still Some of the most inventive techno ive heard

First half - pretty much all bangers that hold up now. Second half - boring jungle inspired big beats. Iconic for its time, I prefer Fat of the Land and even Experience, but judging this on its own, and taking away the bias that it does sound dated, it's 3 with an extra point.

Ayyy, two The Prodigy albums this week. Doesn't have the huge hits that The Fat of the Land would go on to have, but this is still pretty great. Break & Enter and Poison are probably my two standouts, but honestly you could put almost any track on here on and enjoy it. It's nearly 80 minutes of just kick-ass beats.

Hot damn do I LOVE this album. No good (start the dance) just rocked my world when it dropped.

this is a bonkers album to listen to w/ headphones on while you go about your day. honestly i’m a fan

Have loved this album since it came out. Voodoo People is one of the greatest electronic songs of all time. On this listen, I did find it to get a bit samey and almost exhausting by the time it was over. Really made me appreciate the addition of Keith Flint's vocals on future albums even more.

Full album of great songs. Will be playing it again

So much raw power and energy. I think I prefer Fat of the Land overall, but this is so, so good.

So the only real criticism I have towards this album is that it’s not “the fat of the land”. Like there’s a few skips on this album but very few. The big stand out for this album are “poison”, “their law”, “one love”, and “no good”. There’s so much creativity and energy in these tracks. While also being really infectious. Which I think a lot of the time can be overwhelming or exhausting, but this album just flows so perfectly that it feels natural and not like over the top and desperate like some electronic dance music can come across. Honestly this album sounds like it came straight out of an alien rave, and I don’t mean that in a clichéd way, like it’s very original and just so much fucking fun.

Altes Prodigy war so cool?!

I think an argument can be made that Prodigy brought this style of music to a broader audience. I was already into this style at the time so was happy to add them to my mix but I know for others Prodigy is their touchstone for this style.

Of all the albums I haven’t listened to, this one might be the most embarrassing to admit – I have four Prodigy CDs and one of them is Music for the Jilted Generation. Highlights: Break & Enter, Their Law, Voodoo People, Speedway (Theme from Fastlane), No Good (Start the Dance), Skylined, Claustrophobic Sting

This isn't a genre I listen to normally but I thought it was a fantastic album! High energy and fun. Four stars.

I liked this album a lot more than I thought I would. Lots of interesting sounds!!

fun matrix music

Some great stuff here Vibed tf out

78 minutes of beats to ice skate uphill to

Solid. A bit weird at the end and not wholly the vibe I like from this genre, but I enjoyed overall!

Dark, grimy, filled with rage. Sometimes makes you feel like you're on speed, or so I imagine. "Their Law" and "Voodoo People" are among the Prodigy's finest, the former being my favorite track by them for years.

An influential and creative electronic masterpiece. I love everything going on in this album. Every song feels like it has its own place in the album and without it the album would feel incomplete. 8.5/10, Favorite Song: Voodoo People

Brilliant 90s DnB album. Some belters on here, some not as good, but overall thoroughly enjoyable.

4+/5

Definitely not quite The Fat of the Land, but still a really interesting electronic record.

Given how big they were in the late 90's (scoring UK number hits with Firestarter and Breathe), it strikes me as strange how they didn't manage to follow up Far of the Land properly. The follow up was seven years later and I had completely lost interest in The Prodigy at that point though even then Jilted Generation was only a decade earlier. My brother isn't really into music and only has a handful of CDs in his car, one of which is The Prodigy's singles collection. This with Poison, Voodoo People and No Good (Start the Dance) was their best album.

Were it 20 minutes shorter it would've been a perfect 5/5. There is such a thing as too much of something good. It's a legendary electronic album and one of the most influential too (done by one guy mostly), with a lot of legendary songs, but unfortunately, by the end you feel a little exhausted (and not in a good way). 4/5

7/10

Better with lasers

In a world awash in grunge, The Prodigy were doing something brand new. Aggressive. Industrial. Fast. NuMetal and Electronic. Nine inch nails meets aphex twins. Solid.

Quite different from The Fat Of The Land, but I like it all the same, sometimes even more. It's still raw and primitive by some aspects (a bit of editing would have helped, especially since it's such a long album), but it's formidably dark, abrasive and unrelenting, bordering on industrial territory. The aggressive and energetic beats make for perfect clubbing music. Both a pure product of the 90s and a record that was way ahead of its time, it clearly opened up a lot of new possibilities. Not something I listen very often, since I seldom hang out in abandoned warehouses with leather-clad cyberpunks - but it's still an excellent electro album. Even the cover art is a perfect fit for the music, screaming of pain and urban alienation. 8/10

party mix

Yeah, can see why this one made the list.

My wife hated this. I did not.

Álbum de electrónica de los 90s Es extraño pero me parece que sus melodías provocan una sensación de adrenalina combinado con ira, desencadenan por medio de sonidos poco convencionales emociones fuertes No lo escucharía regularmente pero si merece relisten Poison es mi recomendación del álbum

This album came along at the right time in my life and also during a very stressful work week! It doesn't quite hit the heights of "The Fat of the Land" album. But it's still awesome! Almost a 5 but not quite.

Insanely good, should've listened to a full album from them waaayyy sooner. 8/10

Unfortunately, this was a club banger

Fun, aggressive electronica

lots of fun sounds going on here. lots of silly melodies and awesome moments. would prob go crazy in the club. my fav was Break & Enter

A full album of the club scene from Blade. This didn’t strike me as the type of music I’d be into, but something about it kept me hooked for two listens. It all kinda blended together into one song for me, which worked to its benefit for whatever reason. One of my favorites from the past few weeks for sure. 4-4.5, but I could see it jumping up to a 5 after another listen

fun i liked it good for busy work

Liked this a lot but preferred fat of the land. Poison and voodoo people both great, felt like the middle few tracks were the strongest

This kinda hits

A good listen! I actually enjoyed this one better than the one with the crab on the cover. Maybe I’ll revisit that and compare. Some tracks on this were better than others, but most of the time I was nodding my head in a bit of a trance, which is something I look for in electronic music. I know sitting at my desk working is not the ideal mode for this kind of thing, but somehow it worked really well. Must-listen #288.

Super new to me. Pretty solid. Would add to my collection

First part is just banger after banger. It's more than just dance or electronic music, it feels bigger. Second party sounds like excellent music to kill aliens to.

Jesus… what a ride this album is. I’m not going to sit here and pretend I have an all knowing knowledge as to why this album is such a landmark release. The Prodigy came into mainstream attention when I was far too young to understand what exactly it was they were doing other than: “jesus… this stuff is crazy”. As an adult, though, after really sitting down and giving this a serious listen I can confidently say: this is about as punk rock as an electronic/rave album gets. And I kind of love it, to be honest. Musically, The Prodigy are effortlessly blending heavy rave elements with some impressive, almost prog-in-nature electronica; layered with an unfiltered attitude directly aimed at a sweeping criminal justice bill. And it’s quite direct about it through some expert use of vocal samples beside the instrumentals that take up virtually the entire tracklist. I mean - this is a messy album. But it’s by design. Fast hooks, hard hitting beats, angry production. The Prodigy are so unapologetic in what they wanted this album to be that even if this isn’t totally your thing, on some level you gotta respect it. It quickly went from a 3 to a 4 for me. Not only do they manage to keep the momentum up for the full hour and twenty minutes here, they do it with serious conviction. 4/5

This was a good listen for the most part. Started out strong, some middle bits I wasn't sure of and can be a little repetitive at times (though that is common for the genre). The songs I liked are generally the faster tempo ones as I felt a lot more happened musically in those. Some of my favourites are Break and Enter, Their Law (which provided a great heavy guitar riff which I didn't expect), Full Throttle, and Voodoo People. I'm fortunate enough to say I've seen The Prodigy live twice (both times with the late Keith Flint) and they really were an experience. Great gigs. The only real downside to this album is it's length (which on it's own isn't a problem but due to the repetitive nature I think it's too long).

Beats to take down the system to. 8/10

Why do I always think Prodigy is going to be rage metal? This album is cool and seems ahead of its time. I didn’t love Voodoo, but the rest of the album was a bop.

Fuck yes mate

Not something I would listen to every day and it is probably a lot better rolling on X. Was good for a workout album though.

I did not expect to like this, but it won me over by track 3.

"Music for the Jilted Generation" by The Prodigy is an album with a lot of personal history for me. I was introduced to the CD by a friend back in 1994, at a time when we were stubborn metal-fan kids and anything that was not metal was automatically dismissed as garbage. This record, however, hit differently. The mix of hardcore and breakbeat elements with metal-style guitar samples matched the vibe perfectly - essentially electronic punk. While I had not listened to the album in years, I am glad my "1001 Albums" journey brought it back into rotation. I am also grateful I got to see The Prodigy live in 2015, especially knowing that a few years later, in 2019, Keith Flint took his own life, even though at the time of this record he was "only" the dancer. "No Good" is easily the most iconic track on the album, followed closely by "Poison". If I remember correctly, both later appeared on compilations like Bravo Hits, which probably played a big role in the band's commercial success. All in all, it is a great record, and given how much personal history it carries for me, my rating is almost certainly biased.

Fun fast paced electronica. I would throw this onto the listening rotation again.

I kinda fuck with it. Some songs are a bit too intense for me though and the cover scared me off a little bit. Stand-outs - Voodoo People - One Love

Such a fun album

get jilted babyyyyyyy.

Good album. I probably haven’t listened to this album all the way through in a very long time.

Very cool music that almost convinces me to like the genre

The Prodigy always makes me feel like I’m playing laser tag or in an action film. I get in the zone, but a little overstimulated.
