Music For The Jilted Generation

Sounds good

music for the jilted generation was an unusual album! after more than 350 albums, i haven't heard anything quite like this yet. i get the sense that this album was unusual for its release year, 1994. the prodigy certainly were committed to rave and techno. techno music can sometimes be too repetitive for my enjoyment, and basically i'm here to say "it's not you, it's me." i can say that the wind instrument in "3 kilos" was an unexpected choice of a sample. not bad to keep your listeners on their toes. 2.5, but i'm impressed with the album and creativity, so 3.

Break & Enter, Voodoo People, Speedway, Poison, No Good. Cool flute in 3 Kilos. I liked it and some songs were awesome. Some were repetitive and this could have been 30-40 instead of 78. 7/10

good: their law, full throttle. repetitive and long

When I saw this album cover, I thought I would hate this. I don't hate it; it's interesting, but not something I would want to listen to again so I won't buy the album.

Electronic glitchy stuff, not bad, not great

You're going along thinking an inoffensive 2 star record and then the album drops a banging festival memory. But that's the problem. Other artists would trim this by 3 or 4 tracks and mix the remainder better. The Prodigy were a great singles band but didn't always make great albums.

Didn't mind it but probably won't listen to it again

Definitly a vibe. Makes me want to punch stuff in a good way. Can have this on in the background for hours when focussed on something else. Bit much for an active listen.

goed voor op de achtergrond

No le gana a Fat of the Land. Pero está bien.

Not feeling it right off the bat. I liked the middle/middle-end of Break & Enter. Repetitive, Repetitive, Repetitive. At least there is some creativity with sound design so each song, while repetitive, is actually distinct from other songs. I started to enjoy this more in the second half of the album as I was tuning it out more. Not sure if that's a good thing necessarily. Overall, I thought I was really going to hate this album and was pleasantly surprised by it. Definitely fits the bill of 90's edge. Probably pairs well with Adderall and Finals Week.

Just an old fashioned no nonsense techno album just like Grandpa would have liked it. I wonder if these old techno artists ever had the thought that they would influence DJs in the 2020s to create music that would have millennials show up to Echostage while rolling harder than a wheel of cheese going do a hill in Gloucester on a brisk fall day and dance around with glowy tips on their fingers while sucking down lollipops. I really liked that in one of the songs they took the sound of an F1 car flying by and used it on repeat as an effect. Techno's not really my jam but this album got me moving around my kitchen.

The Prodigy were one of the first rave acts I was ever aware of, after hits like “Firestarter” and “Omen” surfaced into the mainstream and carried the band’s momentum for a good couple of decades. I wasn’t at all keen on the full album of theirs I heard before this (“The Fat of the Land”), and have never found much to like in electronic music, so was bracing for another one star. But this album, I have to admit, is something different: “Music for the Jilted Generation” sets itself apart from most of the other electronica albums I’ve heard on this list within the first few minutes. It’s difficult to pin down why, but the dynamic big-beats, elaborate layering of sound, scale of drama, intensity of the atmosphere goes a long way. For example, there’s a real sense of tension running through “Break and Enter”: the opening bars are punctuated by breaking glass, slowly rising in intensity, until everything is filtered back to a dull thumping masked by heavy breathing and footsteps. The vocal samples are not distracting and all used in service of each song’s character, the gear changes are well-timed (especially the unexpected break to piano in “Full Throttle”.) There’s a clever layering of sounds and a strong sense of pacing that sells “Music for the Jilted Generation” as more of a cinematic experience than many of its contemporaries. Then, by the time the vocal hooks came around in “Poison” and then the best track on the whole album, “No Good”, something remarkable was happening. I was dancing round my kitchen. Truly infectious EDM: I’ve perhaps never felt sadder to have been too young for the rave scene. At 78 minutes, it’s not all engaging: songs like “Their Law” and the final track “Claustrophobic Sting” are a little more like drafts than fully formed songs. And “Speedway (Theme from Fastlane)” has perhaps aged the worst, sounding like a cutting room floor leftover from a PS1 racing game. It’s stuffed with sound effects of whizzing and speeding cars, but goes absolutely nowhere. So while it may sound a little dated now, and is still from a genre I struggle to get on with, but this is up there with Chemical Brothers’ “Dig Your Own Hole” as my favourite of the big-beat/rave genre so far.

This was fine.

Mmm 90s

Enjoyed the listen. I never knew how influential Prodigy was in the EDM space, only had listened to their single Breathe previously.

Probably a "you had to be there" situation, because listening to this today, while it has some exciting moments it'a also very long and the whole things sounds dated. Without any nostalgia value attached to it the impact is less apparent.

An hour and 18 minutes of repetitive genetic music. Honestly, there is a very specific time and place this could ever be thought of as good. And I don't have any ex, and I'm not at the club, and it's not the 90s.

Surprisingly ok

An amphetamine spiked sledgehammer of an album. Not an ideal Monday listen tbh. From the front cover alone I knew it'd be on a collision course with today's to do list. I like hardcore as much as the next man but can't back the metal fusion on the opening few tracks. Things did get better from Full Throttle (a stand out). The more acid sounds from Speedway onwards were appreciated but I've heard similar so often. Things then fell back to being pretty consistently 'hard' and two dimensional. Even the softer tracks nearer the end seemed out of kilter. Didn't hate it but not sure I'd turn to it again. Read that Bowie was really on this record, but this was dnb era Bowie (aka his worst iteration). 2.5

Very industrial, very 90s. Definitely blew the cobwebs off this morning... Break & Enter, No Good (Start the Dance) and Voodoo People were highlights, but a lot of this album felt too disjointed and not actually enjoyable. I expected more

My least favourite of theirs. Wouldn’t be till their next album that they peaked, successfully blending rave, rock and pop (and by doing so, maybe killing rave). Too many nothing tracks on this but can imagine in the right setting they might be ace. Shame us sweet summer children will never be in that said setting. Better than house. Sot: Voodoo people Poison No good 3/5

I mean they’re beats.They’re good beats but it’s really long and it’s boring just listening to beats.

This was ok - some songs were more catchy than others, but mostly it just felt repetitive by the end.

3 stars

Best Song - Break and Enter

Much more of a chaotic listen, never a dull listen with Prodigy

I think this is our second from the Prodigy, after the crab album for sure. That album nailed the hacker aesthetic of the '90s, this one has a different edge to it, more industrial/grunge-y to me. Took a while for things to heat up, but I did like a few songs. Decent project, though I wouldn't personally call it essential. Favorite tracks: Full Throttle, Voodoo People, Poison. Album art: Love this gross head melting. Definitely fits the sound and style of the music. 3/5

Sounded spiffy

Percebi com mais camadas de ambient do que a pegada punk. Funciona bem para final de noite envolvida com atmosfera tecno.

Overly long, but a couple of great tracks

Do NOT listen to this album while driving, holy fuck I nearly crashed. Bangers tho.

Non-stop industrial dance music. great for a sweaty club after dropping extasy, not so great for listening to in my basement listening room. 3 stars

⭐ Speedway / Skylined

Inovative at their time, Prodigy was a door opener mixing electronics with power rock, crazy drum loops, nervous synth basses, multi processed SFx and high speed bpm. This album is an adrenaline booster.

I know I say this a lot, but I thought I would hate this, given that I never really liked Smack My Bitch Up. There's definitely a time and place for this kind of thing, though. No standouts since most of the songs blended together.

Never listened to this before, but was aware of the band. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would.

Not my usual cup of tea but I’d much rather listen to this than Appetite for Destruction. Here you can sense and hear the cultural and historical relevance and the craftsmanship that went into the album.

Definitely had me bopping away and raving in my loungeroom while drinking out of a goon bag and canned beer. Not as good as The Fat Of The Land but scratches that techno itch, Might listen again if i'm in the mood again. Favourite tracks - Their Law, Voodoo People

It's a cool album, but the lack of clarity and structure really lowers the enjoyment of this album. Perfect noise filler though, the best one so far.

It was a January Monday morning when I was assigned this album. I was unsure if I could handle it. Turns out I could. Not half as hardcore dancey as I half remembered.

I found myself nodding my head a lot while listening to this. Later, when I thought about what I had listened to, I couldn’t recall any of it. That’s some kind of magic trick. Does this make it life-altering?

This has not aged very well, to be honest. Yet beyond the obviously *dated* big beat / drum'n'bass rhythm patterns, there are also many interesting harmonies--along with catchy loops and punchy licks from time to time. So I wouldn't throw *all of it* into the dust bin of music history. The thing is, who is that music aimed at *today*? Middle-aged folks like me would look like eccentric old-timers playing this in their living room. And younger people would dismiss it as music that's out of touch with current electronic sounds. Time is not kind with forward-looking genres such as EDM. What was futuristic once quickly sounds like a relic of the past, very ironically. You need some kind of special touch or off-kilter charm to make such relics of the past sound truly relevant or original decades later. I hear that the album after that one is also in Dimery's list. At least, all the famous electro-punk hits of the band are in there--and it seems to me they fare a little better today. They're shorter, catchier, and even if everything in that subsequent LP was not up to that level, at least you'd have more interesting dynamics throughout. So *maybe* it's better to save some room in my own list for that *other* Prodigy album... But to return to *this* record, that "jilted generation" mentioned in its title now mostly evokes pictures of old people going to a rave party, which is quite a bizarre thought in itself, isn't it? Not that I would have any problem with it happening--it's just that I would think twice before going to such a weird sort of rave party myself. My personal experience is that if you played this sort of record to, let's say, the teens in my house, they would just roll their eyes and dismiss the whole thing as a quirky impulse on my part. This sort of thing rarely happens when you play Neil Young, Talking Head, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Tears For Fears, The Cure, Pixies, Nirvana, Elliot Smith, Jeff Buckley, A Tribe Called Quest, Beastie Boys, Björk, DJ Shadow, Queens of The Stone Age, The Strokes or The White Stripes. Most of the time, those teens will like what they hear, and even if they don't, they're often intrigued by those older sounds, at least. Play stuff like The Prodigy, and they will just tell you it doesn't resonate with them at all. It won't elicit any meaningful reaction from them. It will just be categorized as "out of fashion" stuff. When in doubt about old music, *always* trust youth's reactions. They'll tell you if something has aged well or not. Number of albums left to review or just listen to: less than 700, I've temporarily lost count here Number of albums from the list I find relevant enough to be mandatory listens: approximately a half so far Albums from the list I *might* include in mine later on: a quarter Albums from the list I will certainly *not* include in mine (many others are more important): the last quarter (including this one)

Better than expected. Not really my genre, but some good high energy tracks in there that anyone can enjoy.

There were a few familiar moments on this one. A definite mid 90s throwback.

Estuvo ok, pero como disco prefiero el Fat of The Land

I'm not the biggest fan of the genre but this isn't bad. I'd prefer to pick out a few songs rather than listen to it in one sitting as it's quite long.

Hardcore. Better listed to loud and when buzzin' on something. Just saying... It starts powerful and keeps the beat throughout. Singles (4): One Love (#8 UK), No Good (#4 UK, top 10 all over the world), Voodoo People (#13 UK), Poison (#15, UK) Standouts: Break & Enter, Their Law, No Good, Tops in the genre. Overall: 3.5/5

Prefer The Fat (which came later). I gave that 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 but this was when they were pretty much finding their feet. It's still good but not great.

The only album I've ever listened to by The Prodigy was The Fat of the Land, so I am looking forward to checking out more of their stuff. This, unlike every other electronica album I've listened to on this album generator, was actually not bad. It is very high energy, and it has a few looping lyrics to some songs. Their music is electronica mixed with rave, hard rock, and punk. This music, instead of putting you in a trance like all the other electronica I've heard, pumps you up and makes ya wanna move. I didn't mind this album. Not my favourite genre of music still, but not bad as background music. It was great to listen to while working today. Favourite songs: Voodoo People, Their Law, Speedway (Theme from Fastlane), Poison, No Good (Start the Dance) Least favourite songs: Skylined, 3 Kilos, The Heat (The Energy) 3/5

12th December 2022 Listened in the afternoon while working. Dad came round in the evening and we watched hook and white lotus. An electro punk opera. Knows the quite moments are as important as the noise. 3.5 if I could.

dance mother fucker dance!

Some good tracks but not all were winners.

Jilted is an adjective for someone who just got off a long coke binge and has ground their teeth to stubs. I don't do cocaine. 3/5, would've been a 2 but I have a soft spot for this music

Nice to work to and I imagine pretty rad in a club.

Not what I expected -- I guess I never what genre these guys were, but I liked it. Not sure I'll decide to listen to an electronic album again, but if I do this one is just fine

Appreciate this is good, but not really my thing and sounds pretty dated. A few bangers though, esp Voodoo people.

Again with these electronic albums, I live in the techno capital of the world so my baseline for good techno (a genre I don't particularly enjoy) is very high. This was fine. Nothing special and overly long. You get the gist of it after a few songs (which is my complain about all techno... I guess you need to be on drugs to enjoy it) 2.5/5

oh man, I probably still have this CD in a big ass case logic filled with all the music I bought in middle and high school. I loved these guys. Saw them at least once at a festival. In general, this genre really doesn't hold up well for me but this album and band have so much nostalgia I have to give it a decent score. I find myself "singing" along to the boops and beeps

Another electronic double album that nobody outside the UK has ever heard of. All around this wasn’t too bad , but I found that it overstayed it’s welcome and some of the samples were grating, especially in the last song. 5/10

Not bad. Now you know what they ended up doing you can tell listening to this that there were better things to come.

Listened Before? N This was pretty surprising. I mean, hardcore techno/dance is not really my thing but I didn't mind this one too much. It was good background music while I was working, and would probably make good party music. Added to Library? N Songs added to playlist: Their Law

2nd prodigy album so far. definitely can see where "power of the land" comes from but i think this one is way more inventive and interesting. Voodoo People slaps HARD holy shit this has the HOW ITS MADE SONG ON IT i don't think i actually finished this one, but get the feeling that i got the jist of it

This album wins the award for "Most Melodramatic Title." That the album is made up of generic EDM loops further emphasizes how ridiculous it is. I wanted this to end much faster than it did. Best track: 3 Kilos

Good for the genre.. longer than my attention span.

3.5 serait parfait ça se laisse écouter, parfait en fond, certains morceaux donne envie de hôcher la tête

Very interesting and cool not my style of music. Maybe has a time and place though

elektronisk rock, dance, alternativt, højt tempo, energifyldt

WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This album has that cheap, 90s-electronic drip that reminds me of PS1 racing games. "One Love" brought me right back to the soundtrack for the movie Hackers. This was a nice blast from the past and decent enough background music while I work. "Voodoo People" and "One Love" stand out for me.

Good dish washing music

Not a collection of their greatest hits, but it's an interesting journey that ultimately made them the powerhouse they became. I think the few songs that are memorable also cemented the direction they took forward.

Non avevo ascoltato nulla dei Prodigy prima di quest'album, se non quei pochi pezzi più "da radio" e più famosi. Album interessante, anche se la ripetitività propria del genere industrial/techno fa spesso venir voglia di passare al brano successivo a metà traccia.

nice

Didn’t mind this. I can see what they were trying to do - mixing heavy rock riffs with techno to make techno for people who don’t like dance music. But the stadium techno thing works much better on Fat Of The Land, and with a singer. The sampling and production sounds dated here. NIce to remember how they started, but prefer where they ended up. Awful cover ‘art’, too. Poison is still a banger, though.

You can't fault the beats, but the album didn't really take me anywhere. You probably need to be buzzing off your tits to truly appreciate this, It was a half decent soundtrack whilst watching the football with the volume turned down. Fuck 'em and Their Law pricked up my interest slightly.

Okay, first of all, I loved hearing the sound of an old-fashioned typewriter -- the keyboard upon which I learned to type in high school typing class -- in the intro. Brief as it was, that sound alone brought me to places. Nice conscious or unconscious nod to Han-Solo-frozen-in-carbonite on the cover art. Now, the rest of the album. I don't listen to electronic music except in this project, and I'm grateful to this project for serving up so many stylistic variants in that genre throughout the rotation. I like some of the tracks here. A few get too frenetic for my tastes, but I get that this is meant to be fast-paced and highly stimulating. (Never been a dance club person, but maybe this is the kind of music they play there? Would seem to fit.)

Never really paid much attention to The Prodigy. At times it was pretty good background music. Other times, not so much. More of a 3.5 really than a 3.

An energy bomb!

3.5: techno for background music

Not really my thing but liked it more than anticipated. Highlights are Voodoo People and Poison.

Voodoo People is a great tune. As a whole, not my cup of tea but can appreciate it for what it is

3.75

Like most dance/techno music, listening to it at a moderate volume, sober, and on my lunch break isn't the same experience as being in a club on certain substances. It's undeniably a very good rave album (which isn't a genre I would normally choose to play). But for me it lacks the musical hooks (and Keith Flint's vocals) that made 'Fat Of The Land' one of my favorite 90's albums. I wanted to enjoy it more than I actually did.

Iconic artwork. Really enjoyed the popular tracks - Voodoo People, Poison, No Good, et al. Some of the tracks were quite long, which get a bit wary if you're sober. 3.5

Exciting and in your face, but suffers from too many similar or identical sounds.

Any album that can get tens of thousands of Pacific Northwestern Washingtonians to dance en masse with complete abandon, then there is something special happening. While other countries and many major US cities were already rave crazed, the greater Puget Sound was still clueless about EDM. I remember hearing these guys for the first time on the radio station KNDD (aka \"107.7 the End\"), which was the mainstream \"alternative\" radio station, squeezed in between the otherwise endless sets of grunge rock. I was hooked. And so was the region. Nearly overnight, clubs started appearing (all I could go to DV8 since I wasn't 21 yet) and more and more EDM shows started touring into town. Pretty soon, festivals and raves were popping up everywhere, house parties were blasting \"electronica\" and people could not stop dancing! It was a really good time, and this album takes me right back to it.

Not my normal sound, but well done, some great songs, wouldn't mind listening to their other work.

I just watched something about these guys the other day about how they took heavy metal and made it where you could dance to it. I had the Fat of the Land album. I rocked that for a long time. This reminds me of the Church in Denver Colorado. Multi floor dance club made out of a 100 year old church. They had a techno floor and it was chaotic. https://coclubs.com/church It was a great time. That was then, now Techno is just annoying after the first 2 minutes.

Not bad but I would probably enjoy it more high

So I usually look up what genre an album is before listening just to prep myself. RYM calls this "Big Beat" or "Breakbeat" and that just confused the heck out of me. Well, I didn't know what to expect, and I'm not disappointed. I'm pretty impressed by the sounds on here considering it's from '94, and many of the songs were lively and kinda pumped me up. Though it's a little too much for working, I could see this being great rave or late night drive music, but outside of that, when am I gonna listen? It's not my taste, but not a bad listen.

Good, but would be amazing if I was off my face

Not bad. Felt like I was in a video game, but there were a few tracks that were bops.

хз тут есть самая популярная песня prodigy voodoo people но я в целом не фанат группы и не могу оценить ее выше чем того же спрингстина в силу моих муз предпочтений

блин вот я вроде люблю электронщину, но с этим альбомом что-то не сложилось у меня... какие-то треки зашли (вообще вначале хорошо шло), например, poison и, конечно, voodoo people, но под конец альбом начинает бесить и тревожить( жестковато для меня, кароч

This was way better than I expected, at least I couldn't find anything about this album to outwardly hate. I think most all British music should be instrumentals. Though there wasn't anything I could hate, there wasnt' a whole lot that I could love either... the exact definition of a three..

Surprisingly a fun electronic/dance album. Lots of energy, but felt a bit darker than other electronic albums I've listened to. However, can still get very repetitive throughout. I personally feel like this would be a lot more enjoyable on a night out with a large group, rather than listening alone like I did. "Their Law" and "Poison" my favourite tracks.

I don't get the hype, but then I'm starting to think I don't really get electronic music

Not heard this album before, although I of course know some of the songs. A sign of greater things to come.

not the biggest fan, but wakes you up in the morning

It’s an album I’ve tried to love for a long time. It’s got some great memories in places, but for the most part it still just sounds like a hell of a racket to me. I want to like it more than I actually do

As always, I don't love electronic music because I can't sing along. This particular album doesn't have a lot of lyrics, but it's okay because I just keep yelling out "Firestarter!" and "Breathe with me!" anyway.

Dark, intense, gritty, throttling, deeply cool. The energy of these songs is pretty great. I could see listening to it to power through a project. That said, I get that this is meant to be clubby, but I as an old lady do not find breaking glass on a loop to be particularly entertaining. I also agree with the assessments that the album is simply too long. This is an interesting place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live here. Fave Songs: Voodoo People, Speedway, No Good (Start the Dance), Full Throttle, The Heat (The Energy)

Альбом, ставший вехой в развитии легендарного коллектива. Лучший ли он? Нет. Все же пика Prodigy достигнут позднее. Свеж ли он до сих пор? Да. Звучание до сих пор уникально. 6 из 10.

These guys are full of piss and vinegar. In a good way for a couple of songs but not for a full album. At least not in the daylight. I'm being generous today.

This wasn't as great as I remembered, it was much longer too. Poison and No Good are absolutely epic though.

I'm so jilted, these sound like regular beats to me

Better than I thought it would be considering the album cover. Good for listening to while getting work done.

I actually kinda liked it. I wouldn't go back and listen again, but it was kind of fun. I liked the song 'No Good'.

its a nice album but it has to grow on you, for me it starts out as a quite harsh drum and bass album but slowly you get into the flow and then it becomes really nice

Pros: - Prodigy has such a cool sound. They are serious groundbreakers. - Yea, let's take glass smashing and make it a rhythmic element. Yea! - Oddly enough, it's great background music. - Drum n Bass is just a great discovery in music. Cons: Misc: - Their follow up album to this, "The Fat of the Land" is also very good, and contains probably their biggest hit, "Smack My Bitch Up".

Genre defining british techno rave music. Takes clear inspiration from industrial rock of the time. Voodoo People is pretty iconic, and I really liked the flute loop and what sounded like morse code blips on 3 Kilos. Some great music, but I felt a little silly listening to it at 9pm on a Thursday in my pajamas. This is really meant for you to be moving to. With my full focus on it, the record started to feel a little long and repetitive. 3.5.

Not really my bag, but prodigy brought electronic music to the suburbs.

I just don't get The Prodigy. Is it a dance thing? A drug thing? Is it all an elaborate joke? Surely those super cheesy "breaking glass" percussion effects aren't unironic? The even-cheesier "villainous laughter"? I wouldn't be surprised if barks and moos showed up. But then for a minute from time to time, it would all come together and I'd be like, now that's tight.

Thanks to the samples, most of this album starts out positively evilly. The formula, a well-executed one I'm a bit saddened by, is to arc from there to a more straightforward party mood. That means most tracks feel padded at the back for dancing over album listening, but the spots where synths and drums are joined are second to none. This project continues to remind me that I enjoy techno.

probably bad but idk Not as bad as all that! in a certain mood its exactly what i want

"Music for the Jilted Generation" is a frenetic record released by the heavy hitters of the breakbeat techno. With a darker tone than their predecessor, it's a mix of 13 songs that elevate electronic music to a even more hardcore position. "No Good (Start the Dance)" is one of the ultimate classics of the 1990s raves.

I liked hearing those songs from Hackers. It just got repetitive.

I've never heard this album befroe, but there's a bunch of songs on it I know. Because I've listened to the Hackers movie soundtrack a lot, and there's at least two songs on here that are on that soundtrack. I don't listen to a lot of dance/electronic music, but when I do, this is the style I gravitate to. You can have it on while working and since there aren't any lyrics, it's not distracting and can sometimes help get you into a flow state. But it's also not something I'm going to put on extreemly often. At times it's what I'm looking for, but not something that would work all of the time.

Music For The Jilted Generation isn't my thing, I'm into more Eurotrance style house and dance than this, don't get me wrong, it has its moments and has great energy and No Good is an insane song, might get it into 3/5 territory because I respect it, just don't like it all.

Probably not an album best appreciated sat at my desk working, but quite enjoyed it. Felt that it took a while to get going - I wasn't a huge fan of Break and Enter, and Their Law wasn't much better, but it does pick up through that middle section. There is no need for this to be so long, more than an hour is very rarely necessary, particularly when it's relatively intense music like this. I expect there should be another Prodigy album on this list, which will be better than this? Just scrapes a 3/5.

Were they the first rave ‘band’ - full length albums, tours etc?

Didn’t get to finish the album but this was pretty awesome. Definitely upped the energy on the morning commute.

I actually liked this way more than I thought I would. It dragged in the middle for me a bit but started out hot and finished strong.

meh

Not their most interesting

Got a lot of things done listening to this album

Eigentlich ziemlich billig. Rave/Techno Beats, catchige Samples (Gitarrenriffs, melodische Singsang) und Laut/Leise Momente. Aber es geht halt einfach gut nach vorne.

Electronica. Definitely interesting. Instrumentals were unique. I am undecided about it.

It does get it's groove and pacing... and towards the end of the album, it finds an energetic vibe that pleasantly isn't so much IN YOUR FACE. A little too much of the album is hyper and seems poised for a siren alarm sound as part of its music. Still pretty interesting and enjoyable listen.

This has some bangers on it and is clearly a very important album, but 80 minutes of breakbeat is just a bit too much for me

Asså det är ju fett som fan. Inte lika fett som Fat of the Land men svårt att va

Les prodiges de la connerie font leur retour dans le générateur, cette fois-ci sans crabe (il intégrera la bande plus tard avant d'être bouilli et mangé par Buck Owens et Merde Haggarl). Concernant l'album, il s'agit d'une suite de morceaux ma foi sympathiques mais devenant rapidement un supplice. Les vingt dernières minutes d'écoute furent les plus longues de ma vie.

J'ai beaucoup aimé ce festival de bruit. The Prodigy ne cesse de nous surprendre en se montrant un peu plus bruyant à chaque apparition. Le pic de l'album est sans conteste le moment où le bruit proposé par The Prodigy nous force tout simplement à éloigner le casque de nos oreilles. C'est à ce moment là qu'on réalise à qui l'on a réellement affaire, un groupe devenu maître dans l'art de la nuisance sonore.

3.5

few songs on here that i liked, but majority of it i didnt. felt very early 2000s tweaker club music

Okay that is a bit too much for me. In a club when I was in my 20’s it wasn’t even my style, but I could have enjoyed it for a night. Beats and random noises, the occasional guitars, voices, and more beats.

Solid instrumental rockish EDM

tiktok sound

Definitely different

Years ago while living with my best friend in a sketchy apartment we would play hours (HOURS) of an old racing game, Playstation Nascar I think. Often til dawn. Important stuff. His brother visited one weekend and joined our league/circuit/whatever and put on a Prodigy album while we played. I'd never listened to electronic music before but for whatever reason it was the absolutely perfect soundtrack to making virtual 200mph left turns for 3 hours straight before you inevitably crashed on the final lap. I guess what I'm saying is that I really want to play that game again right now. Judging this on what it is (as opposed to comparing it to what I guess I'd call a "normal" album?) it is kind of compelling. Hypnotic. Good to work to, especially if I want to stay awake. Sum: it's not something I can see putting on when I want to listen to *songs* because they're not really songs - more of an aggressive soundscape, but it works really well as a caffeine-substitute. Or additive. 7/10 3 stars

Not really my style but I can appreciate the rave vibes.

2.5/5 Not my genre Great song: Voodoo People

Hard classic techno beats that would be at home in a warehouse rave. I can smell this album and it wreaks of sweat and clove cigarettes

It's not a bad album by any stretch, but I enjoy Prodigy with vocals a lot more.

Not my style, but I can see why it was so influential.

Another that I have heard before but not since I was at college many years ago! Really enjoyed this. Kept me going through a shitty work day

I liked it better than most of Prodigies other stuff, because it was less noisy and had a cool 90s techno vibe. But overall it‘s not my kind of music.

Some good some bad

Curious and interesting, not actually my cup of tea, but the kind of album I like to hear when i´m doing something.

Electrónica. A pesar de ser machacón, como toda esta música, tiene ritmos y melodías interesantes.

Fanade…

nice ideas, but quite long and repetitive songs

I was excited for this album because I really liked The Prodigy's first album. However, this album sounds much more generic in the present day, and lacks the cool hooks that populated the first album. It's not bad, but it doesn't really stand out from a lot of the techno mixes that are a dime a dozen on YouTube 3/5

The beginning was mostly good, the later minimal-isch techno I personally did not enjoy as much.

These songs were mostly enjoyable, and frankly fit quite well with my mood today. However, almost every one of these songs just goes on for too long.

A good electronic album from the 90s. Brought back memories from the time, ok for nostalgia but don't think I'd go back to it again.

Probabilmente 20 anni fa gli avrei dato un punteggio più alto ma considerando che l'ho ascoltato un po' di corsa perché già lo conoscevo e che preferisco altri album dei The Prodigy, si becca la sufficienza. Voto 3

55. Um saco de plástico bem cheio de ar. Empurro-o em direção à Terra. Do outro lado, as fagulhas libertam-se. Com ar se faz o fogo. MotA: Voodoo People "So, I've decided to take my work back underground to stop falling on the wrong hands"

Not really my type of music, but it is listenable. The influences this album and group had is unquestionable, and even big bands like Rammstein, Nine Inch Nails and Fear Factory would have sounded a lot different without the industrial electronic sounds of The Prodigy.

Really enjoyable album, you need to be in the right mood for it though. Definitely won’t be everyone’s cup of tea at all. Some absolute BANGERS on this one though!

Parts of this album sound like someone gave the Doof Warrior a band. I kinda feel like to fully enjoy this I need to either be in a slick, flashy 90s action movie or on E in a 90s German discotheque. Like, I get it, but it’s not for me.

Good but intense for the morning

Hmm, likte noe av det, noe var ganske bra mens annet var litt merkelig. Vet ikke helt hva jeg skal skrive. Noe man vil høre på i en halvveis bortgjemt litt retro bar for å chille og drikke øl.

Teetering on a 4. There's something about electro from bands that came out of the 90's that's just better.

voodoo people is a timeless banger

Behalve de 2 hitjes, die door de nostalgische waarde een * extra opleveren, werd ik nogal nerveus van een heel album te luisteren

90s electronic/industrial breakbeat. KMFDM without the rock n' roll. vaguely reminds me of playing flash games on newgrounds

Feel like I needed to drop eighty tabs to get into this on a Tuesday morning. They have a certain sound that sets them apart from other electronic music.

I was surprised at this one. Honestly, the cover art had me a little nervous that it would be kind of hard and creepy sounding, but I didn’t mind it. It’s definitely 90s; not sure it would find a hold in today’s milieu.

false

This one's a mixed one. I've heard some of the songs before and liked them. It is also similar to some parst from Matrix soundtrack. However, some are just not that pleasant to listen to.

Techno album, mostly. But not too over the top. Decent.

In small doses this is cool, but for over an hour? Without drugs, that's a tall order.

Smack my bitch up

not my genre but head-bopping nonetheless

I was ready to like this album after the first real track "Break & Enter." It was provocative and very creative, using the sound of breaking glass for a unifying beat over an energizing and sinister synth bass line. I was willing to believe the rest of the album might have potential, and "Their Law," with the dirty guitar riffs and harsh synth sounds, whetted my appetite. But about halfway through "Full Throttle" I could see I would not get what I was hoping for, and I ultimately didn't. The fearlessness in the sample choices unmasked itself as the well of gutless, wrongheaded contrarianism that poisoned the well of 90s music. It was just some unpleasant, needlessly jarring noise. A shame, because there are a handful of bright spots in the earlier numbers, but this one has far more skips than tracks worth sitting through.

If we were rating album covers, this one would get one star from me. Musically, this one suffers in comparison to Fat of the Land, which I was surprised to find myself liking as much as I did, and which has vocals and hip-hop and punk elements that enhance the high-energy sonic attack. This one just feels relentless, like being at a high-BPM rave on a speed jag. There’s a little variation but it comes late. I do appreciate the protest espirit de corps, however.

nie moj klimat

sure maybe at a rave

I’ve expressed several times that I don’t love electronic music.

Do we really need two The Prodigy albums on this list. Fat of the Land is much, much better. This is average edm.

78 minutos de música de DJ tornam exaustiva a experiencia de ouvir este disco por inteiro.

I think you would need to be dancing in a field at 4am, off your face on E to really appreciate this...

this is what a gpu listens to while training claude on brainrot

Music from a forgotten generation that can stay that way

I turned it off. By 4th track it had given me a banging headache. Just a racket unfortunately, I had hoped for better

Solid…?

Oh boy more prodigy. What fun. I listened, fought off boredom, didn't wish for death but wondered why it was here. I didn't really enjoy Fat of the Land but this album makes that one sound brilliant. It's just kinda lame to me.

Electronica, techno or whatever genre you want to call it, its not something I enjoy listening to an album of it

The Prodigy is 0/2 for me and I’m glad it’s over!

Not bad but not my taste

This could be good music for a scene in a movie, but when it comes to having to listen to this thing as an album, it’s miserable. The songs are so long and the album itself is so drawn out. The songs aren't even bad. If this was a 30 minute album it would be great. But it’s an hour and 18 minutes long…

Raro raro, es tipo rock, pero para fiestas electrónicas. Especialmente “No good” buen tema, pero los otros son muy repetitivos y no me terminaron de gustar la verdad.

If you’d asked me if I like The Prodigy, I would have said yes. But that was before I listened to an hour and eighteen minutes of it.

The samples were too much. When those mellowed out, it was listenable but otherwise was just annoying. The flute song kilo was good.

Gen X?

NICE THROW BACK, but doesn't hit as hard as it did when it came out originally.

Pretty astonishing formula for song creation, get a 909 or a breakbeat sample. Get the tb303 going off on some generic acid and then just have the most annoying 0.75 second sample of someone yelling and pitch it up. Then walk away for 7 minutes.

This was fine electronica but it didn’t really grab ahold of me.

Next time I wanted to listen to the same song for over an hour I know which album to pick

I dig the anti authority and the response to some shit laws but this just doesn’t hit with me. The three track suite is pretty cool though. That saved it for me.

Yikes! Too repetitive, strange and eerie. But I can maybe see some of the genius.

Disappointing really after almost giving Fat of the Land a 5. This was exciting for a track or two, then seemed like it was the same pass on repeat for the next 45 minutes.

Schon teilweise ganz fetzig und coole sounds aber iwie auch anstrengend

I winced at the cover image but wanted to give this a fair shot. Ultimately, it's just not for me (I don't really do EDM or electronica though so not exactly a surprise).

- the longer i listen it itches - some of those songs are kinda like tolerable - im not sure its not for me

Meh, just beats icl

Not for me, all I can think about is the Matrix reloaded video game.

It’s electronica. I understand why people like it. Just not my cup of tea.

1994. Combines a variety of genres, including electronic and breakbeat, with heavy basslines and energetic, aggressive beats.

Haven’t heard any Prodigy music. Good cover. No real instruments. Minimal vocals. I guess it is music you can dance to. Songs sound the same. Not that good. Two stars

My first review of this didn’t seem to post, and I’m not re-listening. So I don’t remember much, but I think it mostly sucked?

Seems like many of the other 90s electronic albums. Not enough changes

I feel jilted.

Not my vibe

Surprised how little this did for me, considering I really enjoyed The Fat of the Land from these guys. I tried using this as background for work, like I would with stuff by Aphex Twin or Boards of Canada, but its too annoying for that. Very little positive to say, I didnt absolutely hate it but a struggle to sit through

I loved Fat of the Land, but this album did not age well.

I had a lot of fun at the rave we went to with Shane and Emily! Only problem is that right now it’s 11:00 on a Tuesday morning

Para seguir corriendo, después de Underworld, hasta encontrar una rave o un camello de confianza.

I’m shocked at how boring this album was

Just not my cup of tea

Wasn’t on enough drugs to really enjoy this

I’m today years old to learn the prodigy is not for me

1. intro - 1 2. break - 2 3. lauu - 2 4. throtle - 2 5. vodoo - 1 6. poizon - 1 7. good - 1 8. love - 2 9. kiloz - 1 10. zky - 2 11. zting - 2

This wasn't bad. It is upbeat and fun. I do wish there were lyrics at times. Sometimes the songs drone on and on and I wish something different would happen Liked Songs: "Break & Enter" , "Full Throttle" , "Voodoo People" , "No Good (Start the Dance)" , "One Love" , "Speedway (Theme from Fastlane)"

I used to go to every show at that venue, because I knew she was there. She was the first person to ever come over to my apartment. She kisses were like fire. She put butterflies in my stomach every time I saw her. Then things dwindled, and she told me she would slow down. She was a bit of a relationship anarchist. That was okay! We would still kiss sometimes, we would still have conversations that ran deep into the night. She was a really good friend. Then one night, in the middle of a conversation, she said "I'm sorry." and I asked why, and she said "Because I'm not as into you as you are into me." I had already known that and put it in the back of my mind, but it was still a gut-punch to hear her say that outright. Things weren't the same after that. We didn't pay each other as much attention. She started bringing someone else to the venue. I saw her there tonight. She willfully admitted that she had been leading me on. Admitted she was a bad partner. I know there's nothing else she can do to make up for the pain she had caused, but still, I'm ashamed to admit that it still doesn't feel like enough. She's still there at every show, with her new gal pal. I used to go to those shows just to see her. Now I can't go at all. Because I'll see her. I found this record really boring, and it didn't entertain me enough to drown out how I've been feeling today.

Found myself bopping a few times, but man...not a big prodigy guy.

Not for me.

I bet this would be fun to dance to but it is a very specific type of record. It's not bad but there are really just a few circumstances where it would be good.

I’m not a fan of electronic music but I can understand the appeal

Should I want to stand in a field off my tits on ecstasy, this album would be perfect. As it turns out, I don’t. Thank God for “No Good (Start the Dance)”, my favourite song by The Prodigy. Also to “Break & Enter” and “3 Kilos” for making this bearable in a sea of too long, headache-inducing noise.

We got Fat of the Land less than 10 albums earlier, and much as I quite enjoyed it, I would have preferred a bit of a longer break before being handed Prodigy album number 2. This is too long and also feels like being an extra on a 90s sci-fi/computer hacking movie set in a dark basement. I like No Good (Start The Dance), Poison and bits of Voodoo People. Everything else, except 3 Kilos which I really enjoyed, was very, very trying. It's getting a 2 and should feel lucky I've been so generous. 2/5

1.5 stars It really just kept going on and on. Maybe with some drugs, strobes, flashing lights this would be amazing. But on a Tuesday morning getting ready for work, fuck you.

Boring, repetitious, monotonous, need I say more?

I learned that the iconic front man Keith Flint wasn't actually on this or the previoud album, except possibly as a dancer. It's not my genre at all, and I hated most of what they did when they were big around The Fat Of The Land, even though I gave that album a fairly solid 3/5. This one is a bit more raw even, and doesn't have much structure, which becomes a bit tedious after a while (unless you're high, maybe, which I'm not).

Once again surprised how boring EDM music is, and why there's so much of it in this project. At least the songs don't drone on for too long like they can on other albums in the genre, but it's so repetitive for such a long runtime. Some decent moments early on but drags by the 5th track

I like how there's a mix of genres like rock + electronic or hiphop + electronic. It's fun but not something I'd want to listen to. And most of the time it sounds like a hot mess. Also, I didn't know that that tiktok sound came from this album 😭😭

Probably an unpopular opinion but listening to this album made me want to punch a child. Or grind my teeth. Or both.

Gloomy EDM. Hair not purple enough for this.

I liked it to start, but liked it less and less as it went.

Got monotonous quickly

2/5 - A few tracks like Speedway are fun, but after awhile, my brain is numb to what's going on here.

I felt burned out at the end. Fat of the Land did a much better job. 5/10

I had moments where I was vibing with it, but mostly not.

mostly garbage

Tik VIENA visai nieko daina

More interesting than other entries. It is somewhat repetitive and drags on at times. However, I found this to be a good representation of its genre. 7/10 [KEEP]

Nothing as memorable as the next album, but you can see the genesis.

I got The Fat of the Land early on in this project and probably overrated it. 80 minutes of hardcore electronica might be too intense for me. One song in and I'm pretty sure I'm not going to like at much as The Fat of the Land. I would not be able to listen to any section of the three songs I just listened to and place them with the correct title. Voodoo People is the highlight so far. That was the thing music was missing...car alarm noise. Speedway (Theme from Fastlane) could also be called Speedway (Theme from Matrix II: Highway Fight Scene). This album sucks and it goes on forever. Every techno album sounds like it is an audition for a spin class mix. I have to pay more attention to this album because at any moment it could be over and I've have no idea I was listening to a different album or different band entirely. 3 Kilos is the best song on the album. It's like techno-Shaft. Skylined is good too. The album ended on a high note, but it's too long, sounds too much the same and doesn't have any really memorable songs.

I appreciate I’m going to lose a lot of my already sparse credibility but I just don’t enjoy this sort of shit

It is undeniably well made and ahead of its time but man I can think of few contexts where I would enjoy listening to this. Simply not my thing

Some good songs, and plenty of mediocre songs. I think The Prodigy could make a 4 star album, but they seem more focused on making any album here.

Time locked. Repetitive. Tiringly dizzy and plodding, simultaneously. Loud and irritating. Mids.

Not my taste at all.

Electronic

This was so close to getting a 1 from me. I’m sure it was good for its time…

No fue de mi agrado

2/5

Astonishing we’re still getting these. The length puts this one at a 2.

I didn't mind the first song or even the second, but then it was just monotonous, high speed banging in my head. Couldn't finish it.

The thought of someone buying this CD in 1994 and sitting down to listen to it is extremely funny to me. I did finish this whole thing though.

Mind numbingly repetitive. Every song is about 75% too long. I really don't understand who is supposed to enjoy this but I presume some form of drugs are supposed to be involved. Damn you 1001.

Shattering plates as percussion lol

I think the one other prodigy album was plenty of prodigy

I want to rate it a 1.5 because it doesn’t deserve a 2 but it’s better than a 1. Unfortunately I don’t have that option so 2 it is for intrigue but music that lasts way too long and is far too repetitive.

78 minutes of psychedelic dance music was interesting but not entertaining. I can’t believe it was through kindness that they left two minutes of empty space on the cd.

I knew Prodigy would be on this list sooner or later. Glad to get it out of the way.

No sé que acabo de escuchar, no me gustó pero porque no es mi estilo, no quita que lo valore y que me parezca una genialidad.

This is the 2nd album from The Prodigy I've been given for this listening project. Which begs the question: who did The Prodigy blow to get on this list?

Ne volim ovaj album, ne paše mi. Nema do Fat of the Land kad je o njemu riječ. Ovaj album mi zvuči kao ono što i jest: vježbica za legendarni album koji će vječno biti hit. 2/5, 4/10

Feels like it could be the soundtrack for a racing game/movie. Not really my vibe but it had some fun parts.

It's good electronic Euro-rave music, I like the beats, and I like the composition, but no matter how good it is, listening to rave music in the afternoon at home with no drugs is just not how this was intended to be listened to. I should be in a south london warehouse on a cocktail of drugs that will kill me by 29 hoping to catch the eye of the twink in fishnets. Still a great album, but just not the mood or timing for it.

No standouts

Electric club music. The only possible way this can be enjoyed is if you’re on LSD. Even then, it’s not worth it.

In a club, on drugs, in the mid-90s, in Britain, this sounded good. Does that make it actually good?

Not for me

Rave music which goes on for a bit too long

- Not for me - Unless I'm in the gym - All the songs pretty much sound the same

Tedious and offputting. Not the *worst* electronica I've head, but that's about as much praise as I can give it. I sort of liked "3 Kilos" with the flute loop. Saved it from being a 1.

No. 383/1001 Intro NR Break & Enter 2/5 Their Law 2/5 Full Throttle 2/5 Voodoo People 2/5 Speedway 2/5 The Heat 2/5 Poison 2/5 No Good 3/5 One Love 3/5 3 Kilos 3/5 Skylined 2/5 Claustrophobic Sting 1/5 Average: 2,17 Just not something I personally enjoyed.

2 is being kind. Easily could be a 1.

L'effet ''nostalgie'' de Fat of The Land n'y est pas pour celui-ci.

Un autre calvaire. D'un point de vue fonctionnaliste, ça atteint son but je présume. Ça fait plaisir dans les raves, et ça fait plaisir aux poudrés pour se pomper dans leur tour à bureau ou dans leur cross-fit. J'ai moi-même testé en le mettant pour gravir la côte Lacombe à vélo, ça a dû augmenter ma performance d'un bon 8 secondes. Mieux que Fat of the Land à mon sens, mais je suis peut-être juste de meilleure humeur que la semaine passée.

Jeanjean a déjà fait le commentaire. Sans l’aspect nostalgie, c’est rough! En plus moins de voix comparé aux tubes suf l’album d’avant.

Anxiety inducing

Kuuntelin tosi pintapuolisesti kelaillen. Levoton, koliseva, konemainen. Ufomainen. 👽 Vois ehkä toimii jossain juostessa? Mut ei kyl mun kuppi teetä. Ei silti paskinkaan.

I liked it but it didn’t really grab me at all. Interesting that there were little to. I lyrics I don’t know how I never noticed that on their songs from this era before.

This is fine as far as electronics goes, I just don't especially enjoy it.

Well, well.. the Prodigy…always reminds me of some of the worst trips I had on various substances. Some songs are not bad, but I stopped doing drugs though…2 stars!

I knew as soon as I saw the cover to this album I wasn't going to like it. 3 kilos was the one track I could listen to in its entirety and I enjoyed the flute.

I wasn't in the mood of this techno/breakbeat album although I appreciate its freshness. It was also very long with over 70 minutes.

If I’m in a really bad mood I don’t get how people consider this music. If I’m in a good mood I realize not everything is meant for me and turn it off.

I enjoyed this way more than I expected to. Tragically, it is 78 minutes long and I cannot abide such things. 2.5, rounding up.

what a sonically harsh way to learn that I’m not the jilted generation

In a rave setting this would be a 5/5. As an album though it doesn't do it for me.

4 minutes into the first song and I can tell this isnt my style of music. Not bad, but not for me. We will see what happens. Music wasnt bad per se, just not my style at all. Not a fan

Nog nooit een hele Prodigy plaat geluisterd. De energie van de hits is leuk, maar 45 min is teveel. Te veel herhaling en eentonig en uiteindelijk te weinig spannend

People in the mid 90s probably felt like cool people listening to this on CD for the first time. 4/10
