Reviews (page 8 of 9)
Nah. Thanks.
Not for me
A bit too annoying for my taste, but also bland in a lot of places. A weird mixture.
Side B is 5 star
Grote tegenvaller. Had hier meer van verwacht.
You can feel the early forms of electronic music
It has its moments, but I can't really listen to an album of it. I prefer some of the more recent prodigy
Not my scene.
Close to being a 3 because of a couple bangers, but it's a bit hardcore for a whole album for me
Alright , my dad loves this band =) Their law is cool
Catchy, but too long and repetitive. None of the focus of Fat of the Land.
This album is too long (78 minutes) and too much. The Prodigy is a band for which it's better to listen to individual songs instead of full albums imo. I respect it, but as a full album start to finish listen I didn't enjoy it a lot.
Messy dystopian future sounding electronic music. Non of their well known stand out hits make this album fall flat.
The fact that people in the reviews are hyping this album up speaks to how shitty British music was in the 90s. 3/10
I wasn't big on the rave scene. It seemed like a lot of drugs and repetitive beats. This sounds a little more entertaining than that, but not by much. It sounds like there's some thought going into this, which is more than I can say for other music in this category, so that's cool. But there's nothing here that stays with me.
This is probably better in a crowd than on headphones. I like a little more variety in my loops. Hack the planet.
Small doses...great for movie trailers and action sequences and delusions of a Trainspotting lifestyle.
The sound track to every late 90s hacker movie...
Under the right circumstances, I could totally listen to this. Unfortunately, those circumstances would involve being in a k-hole surrounded by a lot of other people, and a time machine set for 1997. Nowadays? A couple of tracks on a playlist would be good. 78 minutes worth? Not so much.
What it feels like to take bad ecstacy.
Used to really like this but now it seems overly repetitive and too long.
Nice Melodies, trying to be punk (but not)
Il disco è storicamente importante per la scena dei rave, ma il genere non fa per me.
not my style
Argh, I don't know if it's album fatigue or what, but I just wasn't having this today. Too many recent albums I just didn't enjoy listening to on busy stressful days. This one went on forever. Even back in the day, I didn't enjoy bouncing up and down in a crowded club to endlessly repeating phrases and loud beats.
Had heard this before and liked Fat of the Land 20 years ago, but this was not for me
Fruity Loops album…
same prodigy boring
Annoying. I had high hopes because Fat of the Land is one of my favorite albums, but this was intolerable.
not a fan of this album.
Uninteresting 90s dance/club music that hasn't aged well. 1.5/5
Not my type of music. Voodoo people is awesome though
In the 90s this sounded like the future. I listened to the first 10 tracks, but didn't finish. Definitely Matrix rave vibes on the first half of the album. I was listening while working, which put me in a productive mood. However I wouldn't listen again.
I wore the wrong pants for this album.
Pioneering electronic music, lots of nostalgia. Not the most exciting listen now, but amazing for it's time.
This went on forever and was somehow unsettling yet boring at the same time.
Eh... it didn't move me. Some interesting textures and beats produced, but I don't think I'll be coming back to this album a ton.
7/11/22
Reminds me of video game soundtracks from the late 90s/ early 2000s which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I dont usually love heavy synth music without accompanying vocals or guitar, but I found myself nodding along and moving my legs to the music. Favorite Song: Voodoo People
Two and a half. It turns out I had a belief hiding in my subconscious that I never needed to listen to an entire prodigy album in my lifetime. It also turns out I was correct. But my headphones were dying and every two mins or so this robotic voice would cut in and say “battery low” and it fit right in with the oontz oontz music.
I’m certain this is good for the right kind of person but I was not feeling grimy electronic music so I struggled with this
More like "Music for the Deaf". Yeesh it's just kind of this industrial or drum & beat electronica. 3/10.
2.5 / 5. First listen. When I first started listening, I really wasn't impressed. But, as the day has gone on, I am starting to get into it.
Ew, no. Can't say this was objectively bad but getting through it was a slog. It reminds me of the music used in the Sims that they danced to on radio stations. Just utterly strange. My fave track, "No Good" was ironically the only one that I thought was any good. That said, I didn't despise this album, it's just not a style of music I can really get into. And the sound hasn't aged particularly well--it lacks a sense of timelessness for me.
Not their best work
I don't know, it feels like this music sounds a bit outdated. Like it meant to be cool, but it's not anymore.
Not my music preference at all. This album was difficult to get through and it felt as if it was never-ending. Not a fan, sorry :(
Pure ecstasy!! That's what I'd need to ingest to enjoy this stuff – 100% pure ecstasy. There’re a few great dance floor thumpers, but not really enough to carry an album. “No Good” is an excellent track. Even though by 1994 that sample had been around the block a few times, no one did it with the energy or bpms of these guys. For me, they could have used 1 or 2 more songs like 3 Kilos, moving away from that relentless hardcore breakbeat sound, but then it would have been a different animal. I think their cohorts at that time, Fatboy Slim and Chemical Brothers were doing more interesting stuff, though Prodigy were more frantic.
I have this CD, but I honestly don't even like it that much. There are some parts that are enjoyable, however it is kind of exhausting to get through.
Meh
If every song was only 45 seconds long that would be better.
At its best, this is an album of kind of interesting videogame final-boss music. At its worst, this sounds like the music Jez makes in Peep Show. Just an idiot with a synth, pressing the buttons at whim. I did not love this.
Not very good. Very techno, but it's not terrible to listen to.
More 90's. Without the flashing lights and drugs it get's old fast. I semi remember dancing in the clubs to Voodoo People back in my youth. It's ok.
Unlistenable. Unless… you’re in an, um, enhanced state. And at a dance party. In 1994. Or a Skid on Letterkenny.
I'd rather listen to Fat Of The Land... but really, I'd rather listen to Chemical Brothers.
This music basically means nothing if it's not 1997 and you're not watching an action movie or at a club
What is this, Techno? Too quick paced to enjoy.
Not my type of music.
I need a drink. Do you need a drink? These lights are hurting my eyes and I can't stop my shoulders from moving in a funny gyrating manner. Do lasers burn a hole through your retinas? Where is this smoke coming from? There's a time and place for some types of music. I can never imagine that I would listen to this anywhere other than the alluded to place above.
I'm here and I'm listening and I'm enjoying bits of it but a lot of the time I'm wishing I was listening to The Fat of the Land instead. I know Keith Flint (RIP legend) didn't really start doing vocals until the next album and I think this album really misses that. Maybe I'm biased because I'm used to hearing The Prodigy with him and also because I was listening to this during a shit day at work, lol The guitar in Their Law is NOICE OOH 3 Kilos is a sweet little change up!!
Didn't like, though tbf I don't think this was meant to be listened to in the lab at 11am.
Too cool for me I was just mildly stressed doing a puzzle listening to this
I'd probably love this if I were 19 rolling on molly at some underground rave, lol
Det är... storbeat men ganska utdaterat.
annoying af
This wasn't super rough to listen to but it's hard to understand how an album full of just beats could be considered a must hear
Not for me. Annoying, repetitive and boring.
its a lot of synth loops but not very fun
2, barely, this is what people in the 90's thought future music would be
Dark and industrial is cool, but I can't sit and listen to it for long
I didn’t hate it but i also didn’t love at all. It wasn’t bad it just wasn’t interesting. It’s music that you would put on to focus on something fast? I wouldn’t listen to it again unless I like had a purpose to. 2.5/5…
Ah yes, raving in the ‘90s. I might have liked this then, but it’s not for me right now. Anyway, I always preferred Underworld (dubnobass).
Didn't care for it
didn't finish - quite repetitive.
All a bit samey to be honest. Some good bits in places but as a whole album I didn't enjoy it.
Wasn't expecting to like it and I was right. Most of it is not unpleasant, but it's just sound. It doesn't even really sound like music to me.
If this album were a pastrie I would say it wasn't worth the calories. Some of the songs are kinda cool, but then they just go on and on without much variation, and the album overall was the same way. Not for me.
Had only heard singles off of "The Fat of The Land" before. Though I think I prefer this more electronic non-band format, the album wore thin pretty quick with me. I think I'd need a chemical enhancement or two to actually get excited about it.
This is basically what I thought all electronic music was until college. It s not bad per say, but it’s only useful for a club setting. If you told me this was a 90s video game soundtrack I would believe you 100%. This style feels so dated and did not age well to me. 2.5 down to 2.
Felt stale a third of the way through.
Didn’t make it to the end
This is what the goths in Letterkenny listen to, but not what I listen to
Straight up did not enjoy listening to this NEVER ENDING album. You know in really cheesy 90s movies that tried to be really cool where there was inevitably a scene in some sort of REALLY COOL 90s club where people were like dancing in cages and had very spiky hair and there's just incredibly obnoxious NOISE blaring through the speakers? Turns out, in literally every one of those scenes in every one of those movies they are listening to this album by The Prodigy. Only thing saving this from 1 star was 3 Kilos, which was enjoyable (surprise! It had a melody and wasn't 350 bpm!)
The Prodigy are like rock music with the sex taken out. No-one ever screwed to the Prodigy - it’s too frantic and has no juice, just energeeeeeee! Now, Fluke have sex, but not the Prodigy. Great with amphetamine, though.
Not for me clive
I understand the rave vibes, but this could be good if each song had 2 or 3 minutes less.
An interesting listen. Couldn't get enough of some of it while I couldn't stand other parts! There's a good variety of electronic/house music here so there's bound to be something to connect with. I'm not huge on this type of music but I really enjoyed some of the darker, heavier music. It was reminiscent of music from some old FPS games.
These are songs that I would hear in like old skater montages from the 90s and early 00s. You know the ones I'm talking about: low fps, low resolution, black and white or some other weird filter, and really low camera angles. All the songs are unremarkable and blend together, and although the songs are actual songs in this album, I just don't see how this music is important. Favorite track: Speedway
Good enough album on places but it goes for fuckin forever, just like all skanky UK techno. Mostly just sounds like the soundtrack to a snowboarding game on the PS1. Want to give it a 3 but in all honesty... 2.5/5.
Prior to listenign to this album I was familiar with a few tracks from Prodigy. I thought that some of what I heard previously was okay, and some of it I did not like. Listening to this album did not change my opinion. The further I got in to the album, the more I was ready for the album to be over. I would not listen to the whole album again.
There was once a very brief time during grunge that electronica was considered ‘alternative’. People seemed to really love it. I was not one of those people. Don’t get me wrong, it isn’t terrible, it just isn’t my thing. If there was an album that was the Matrix soundtrack, other than the Matrix soundtrack, it would be this.
This album sounds entirely of its time. I dig the breaks and the chopped samples, however, it's strictly a rave album and fails to provide enough song structure to build a hit. I'd rave to this in some sketchy warehouse had I been born decades earlier in the UK; but since I'm a 90s kid I'd prefer to rip Need for Speed and drink Mountain Dew Code Red to their greatest hits instead. I enjoy their later work quite a bit more than this album. ⭐⭐
Not sure why this album is on the list. Was it the start of EDM? It was alright. It could have been a shorter album too. There is no need to ever listen to it again.
Poison: Devo dire che la batteria è fomentosa In conclusione: Quando sento i Prodigy me immagino sempre la scena: tu che stai fuori da un capannone industriale e senti solo i bassi, poi si spalancano le porte e ti trovi davanti sto mega rave co 500 persone che ballano e l'impianto da 2000W che ti spara i Prodigy in faccia. Te ti fai di MDMA e in mezzo alle strobo che vanno a tempo con la musica ogni nuovo pezzo te sembra il pezzo più figo mai sentito e pensi a tutte queste persone che esprimono la propria libertà ballando fino a che non ce la fanno più tipo ritiro sciamanico. Però poi io sto a 33 anni in cucina a fa la pasta fredda vegana mentre me li sento e un'ora e diciotto de disco so una mezza agonia e ce ne ho le palle piene al terzo pezzo. Prevedibilmente i Prodigy non mi so mai piaciuti manco prima, però continuano a darmi l'impressione di un gruppo che è tipo il classico stereotipo della tipa che al buio del locale ti sembra una strafiga e poi il giorno dopo nella quotidianità te rendi conto che in realtà non c'entrava niente con come te la ricordavi. Cioè i Prodigy so una sorta di colonna sonora di un qualche tipo di festa, non so musica che regge tirata fuori da uno qualsiasi di questi contesti, perde ogni tipo di fascino che potrebbe mai aver avuto. Solo perché riconosco che non è musica pensata per l'ascolto e perché ogni tanto c'è qualche soluzione carina (e perché so un democristiano dentro) gli dò il 2.
Nice
Maybe not my kind of music, but it does have its merits. 6.3/10
i was so bored. i don't know if this is good or bad.
Dette var litt for mye av det samme. Kunne kanskje fungert som musikk i bakgrunnen av et heftig oppdrag i GTA eller lignende, men fikk ikke så mye ut av det ellers. Likte 3 kilos da, bare på grunn av jazz-fløyta.
Ser absolutt hva folk liker med dette, og kunne viba ganske hardt til det i rett situasjon. Men generelt ikke helt min greie ass-
It's not dreadful, but it's so lame and boring. Nothing really interesting. And they think they are so hard. Drums at very one note.
.
false
Voor mij geen album om thuis eens even lekker op te zetten. Hitjes van The prodigy zijn lekker op feestjes, daar blijft het voor mij bij.
Een soort rock en dance? Klink wel erg naar zijn tijd. Iconisch denk ik maar de muziek is niet zo goed.
A never ending parade of synthetic intensity, like a bottomless Monster energy drink. If you're looking for music to smoke crystal and gyrate all night until 9am in a sweaty European basement rave to, this album is for you. Just a ham-fisted splooge of blips and bloops, uninspired samples, repetitive beats that mostly go nowhere. Fine if you're in a trance or need something high energy bumping in the background - decent as a workout soundtrack, certainly does not warrant a close listen.
El segon àlbum de The Prodigy és una barreja d'electrònica i sons industrials que acaben atabalant. La manca de temes potents, que sí que tindran al seu següent disc "The fat of the land", fa que l'escolta se m'hagi fet força feixuga.
It was ok. I actually liked several of the beats... but just instrumentals/beats are never going to do it for me.
Meh
Not my cup of tea
Struggled with this. The positive sounds couldn't outweigh the dull.
Boring. I prefer music with vocals. My ears perked up at 3 Kilos, but otherwise I was tuned out.
Eh. Just not for me.
This album leans heavily on dense breakbeats and the rhythm section as a whole. That's not wholly a bad thing, but a bit more melody would have made everything feel cohesive rather than 1-2 synth lines over percussion.
false
The opening monologue was kind of cringy. I imagine this was probably influential in the industrial/rave scene of the 90s but it didn't excite me.
Has soundtrack like music. The album was adopted by the rave scene in England. Though it was revolutionary in the way the artist sampled sound effects from many tv shows, is it really necessary for this list?
This record is fine, but not really for me. It all kinda sounds the same. I don’t think I’ll listen to it again
Holy Christ is this project loooooooong. Nearly 80 minutes. It's good background music, but when I focus on it, I get bored super quickly. I ended up scanning through the last three songs. I like the industrial vibe it gives, but I just didn't like this record that much. Favorite tracks: "Poison", "3 Kilos"
Electronic really isn’t my thing
I don't know enough of this genre to describe what is happening. Anything that doesn't seem to produce sound with, guitar, bass, drums or other real instrument I call it "electronic" I like the chemical brothers, Fatboy slim... And thats all that comes to my mind, I like the fat of the land but that sounds more like, rock, punk, industrial songs with a defined structure and lyrics. So I would say that maybe they needed to make this album to get to that point which I do enjoy, but this, this is too repetitive for me. There's a reason people had to take drugs before listening to this.
Someone call a firestopper.
I will grudgingly accept an argument that the record we've already rated, The fat of the land, ought to be heard for impact/influence, no matter how much I don't enjoy it. But a second Prodigy record? Come on.
This is noise.
I’d give it a 0 if I could
No.
muy tetrico y metal
Instrumental techno. Mostly boring. Not awful though.
I feel way more jilted after listening to this album than I did before. If a fire alarm, burglar alarm and an air raid klaxon took acid and fucked, this would be their cursed offspring.
Nope
I don't think I recognize any of the tracks on this album by title. I'm aware of The Prodigy's hits, so I suppose I have _some_ idea of what I'm getting into here. But I'm not really looking forward to this. Yeah, this is mostly as I anticipated. I'm not into this. Sweet Jesus, this is repetitive. And it's to such an extent that if you had told me this was a parody of how boring and repetitive this music can be, I would have thought this was hilarious.
Muy intenso para escucharlo un día cualquiera, literal es solo para un rave
Theiir next album iis better. Lots of drums and guitars dropped at random. Pretty mediocre.
First song: ok this is ok Last song: why was this 73 minutes long oh my God. It all ended up droning together (like most techno/house does to me). Fine to drive to but nothing else discernable
I really don’t like the prodigy
Gen X slop
Ugh 1
This is not my favorite
Ok warning...warning Will Robinson, warning warning. Aged badly? Was completely fucked to begin with? How and why did this happen? Oh yes and there's more. The open with the sound collage intro...NO! Really! Did they! Yes indeedy Bob they did and followed it with an 8 minute instrumental. Come back Rush, all is forgiven. What an unmitigated load of nonsense.
Horrendous lol I really hated this.
I guess I just don't understand techno music
They sound like stand up guys and I’m sure it’s a great example of this sort of music but fuck me I hated every single second of it
I'm so close to quitting with yet another 90s dance or whatever album. I don't spend my time in warehouses, clubs, or open fields dancing. There is some music that is so tied to a specific time and place that for most people it's unlistenable.
No thanks. I’ll pass.
Omg mais quelle horreur ! Plus sérieusement, dès la première musique j’ai une migraine qui s’est déclenchée. C’est un grand non
Musique de fous furieux
trash
I get the appeal in theory of high energy industrial rave but this does nothing for me. I like other rave music, but I did not want to rip molly and tear up the dance floor with this on. I just wanted to turn it off. (1.5)
This was difficult because I wanted to like it but I did not. Soft neutral because definitely unique but not for me.
Sorry, I don't do drugs
Not my favorite type of music and certainly having MetalWerks already in the mix I am not sure that this band does anything new or cutting edge enough to be included in the list of albums one must experience.
No me gustó. Muy experimental y sin letras.
I really think you have to be into repetitive dance music to even remotely care about this other than it being possibly optioned for Video Game background music.
Finally this ordeal is over. The thing about this album is just 3 seconds from Voodoo people and the rest is repetetive slur
Ouch! This started off excruciatingly monotonous and boring and continued non stop for a painful 78 minutes. I do not like it. But, I can understand its appeal for anyone into the electronic music dance club scene.
Not my cup of tea
A great representative of the electronic genre. 20 seconds of good music stretched out to absurdity, typically 7 minutes per song. An overlong album in general. Perhaps psychosis inducing for somebody like me? It made me feel bad to listen to this for over an hour today. I can see how somebody would like this, but I am NOT that somebody.
It’s a no
Although I have often felt jolted myself, I found no comfort in this music. I do not judge you if you do, though. Or maybe the intent was not to provide comfort, but to remind you over and over again that you were jilted? One way or another, I care not for this genre.
Not sure how this album is distinguishable from any other electronica album.
This is not my jam. Songs are much to similar to each other.
absolutely not.
Lots of repetitive drum beats that went on for far too long.
Cue the Grinch: hate, hate, hate, loathe entirely. What a waste of listening time. 0/5
Ei tällaista kone paskaa voi kuunnella
This was far too much.
lol wow. No thanks. Kinda disappointed there isn't a -1 rating.
Not my preference. Sounds like it should be menu music for some obscure PS1 racing game. I get how this might have been new in the mid 90s for electronic rock/rave music.
Jesus why is there so much Prodigy on this list
"When Liam Howlett arrived at the cutting room for the final stage of the album's production, he realised that all the tracks he had planned would not fit onto a CD." -Wikipedia Never have I been more appreciative of the size limitations of CDs.
This was tough getting all the way through Will I listen to again: 0%
Hard rock. Music is strange, can’t hear the lyrics over the screaming and music.
bad
I took absolutely no time for me to get sick of the glass breaking sound effect. Maybe it took even less time for me to get tired it the percussion. Maybe there’s a “jilted generation” to whom this appeals. But my guess is the guy was (is?) just an incel.
I'm really worried how many more albums like this there are on the list... I'm tired, boss.
This is the first album I genuinely cannot listen to all the way through. This feels like the gateway into modern day EDM and I strongly dislike EDM.
don’t love the breaking glass, screaming, or fast pace… quite stress-inducing, but I suppose these are good for movie soundtracks
Demasiado repetitivo. Aburrido
This would have been the result if Ross from Friends had a band. A bunch of random sounds set to a house beat. “Jilted” is a perfect album title. Couldn’t get past the first couple songs.
not the Prodigy I listened to back in the day - this album was horrid for me - didn't like even 1 song.
Just not a fan of electronica. Soulless & boring.
Otro disco que no pienso escuchar. Ya tuve bastante de joven odiando a esta gente gritona. Lo he escuchado a medias. Es insoportable estando sobrio. Musicalmente es un insulto.
wow I hated this
Worst thing I ever heard
I was not a huge fan of this one to be honest. I really don’t like the electronic style of music, but I do see how it may have been influential and something people hadn’t heard before. I thought it was definitely unique, but definitely not something I would listen to on my own.
When I tell you I dissociated listening to this I mean it… hardest album to get through!
Ohhhhhhh guys…
Nope. Felt like I was trapped playing a terrible arcade game
Started around 8 T1 intro T2 edm Did not finish T3 edm Going to hendells messiah tonight so I’ve been listening to some of that during the day and I just feel ridiculous going away from that to listen to an early edm album. Might not get all the way through this one today.
Electronica, drum and bass
Wtf? I’m being generous in my rating here.
Another electronic group that added sounds that weren't musical instruments which I found interesting. Too many songs with repetitive lyrics, repetitive sounds, and repeating musical lines, I'm just not that into this type of music. The first song, "Break and Enter" with its more than 8 minutes just depressed me. All their songs were entirely too long. Since all the songs sound a lot alike, I can hardly tell when one song ends and the next begins. I started to wonder why this was an album that had to be listened to unless it was to show the worst of electronic music? "Speedway" had me wanting to bang my head just to knock myself unconscious, and if I wanted to listen to car speeding noises, I would go take a drive. I knew I was in trouble when I started adding up the minutes of each song: 105.76. The best song of the album was "One Love" as it was the shortest song of the album. If I could rate this album with zero stars I would but then my vote wouldn't count, so I gave it a one star rating. There wasn't a single song that I liked and although I'm trying to experience a wider range of music this was one album I could have never listened to and been just fine with it.
OH GREAT! MORE ENGLISH ELECTRONIC!
Maybe it's because I was listening to this at 4AM but this is horrible. The weird train whistle and breaking plate sound effects are like someone discovered the shitty sound effects mode on their keyboard. And it went on for 8+ minutes!! And that's only the first real track. The rest of the tracks are similarly long, use unnecessary sound effects and are way too repetitive. How this made the list is beyond me. This might be music I'd choose to torture someone.
1.5
0.5
I'm sure this style appeals to someone, just not me. At least The Fat of the Land had some vocal hooks to break up the monotony, but this is like an hour and a half of getting a tooth drilled at the dentist. I find it super exhausting, it's super dated and it overstays its welcome by a good hour. 0.5 stars.
1.5
Not for me.
0/5 didn’t rly listen just briefly decided i wld not enjoy it and didn’t listen so until i get around to rly listening if i even want to i this is subject to change
Not good. Songs are very repeptitive with little substance. Only good thing to say is the music would work for crumping. 0/10 I couldn't finish the album
Not for me really
i rated the other Prodigy album a 3 but it had some decent, memorable tracks and a really cool picture of a crab on the cover. here on Music for the Jilted Generation we have 78 minutes of forgettable techno and no crab. instead you get (if you bother to go look it up) a dumb inner sleeve painting of a guy flipping off the thought police from the other side of an indiana jones rope bridge
I found this .... crushingly boring.
Shit
Now what on earth is THIS..? Absolutely not
Not for me. Why is this on this list?
Not my vibe at all
Kann in den Container für Elektroschrott!
Not my music at all, struggled to get through the whole thing
idk maybe I'm not jilted enough
Did not like
I hate this shit.
Realmente lo he intentado pero esete estilo de musica no puedo. Canciones muy largas, de 8 minuntos, solo escuchando sonidos. Lo he intentado escuchar en tres dias distintos pero ni con calzador.
Smaken verschillen. Veel mensen lusten bijvoorbeeld graag oesters, terwijl ik vind dat het gewoon naar zeewater smaakt en de textuur heeft van snot. Dit album (en the Prodigy in het algemeen eigenlijk) zijn voor mij de oesters van de muziekwereld. 0
It sounded so edgy in its time. Obnoxious and unbearable now. It's like rap, except it's a single phrase over and over.
Hated this from day one.
Another Prodigy album?!? Another friggin Prodigy album on this finite list?!?! Well, if you like electronic sounds maybe you'll dig this. I got about halfway through and figured I had a pretty good handle on it. Not for me.
Not for me thank you. Was just a waste of time to listen to.
Skipped my way through this (I know that’s not really fair but I just had to) because like I said the other day (on The Chemical Brothers) I really don’t like this kind of music. It’s just irritating to me and the only way I can ever see myself listening to it even a little is for studying wall-of-sound. It makes my heartbeat feel irregular.
Copy-and-paste bloop-bleep music with an aggro "edge". *Might* have been revolutionary at the time, but now sounds like something a 14-year-old with pirated copy of Ableton could crank out in an hour.
1 star as this list doesn't need two Prodigy albums. Pick one m8.
adri: 2, no estoy en el estado adecuado para tanto drug and bass. Suena como suenan las fábricas de coche por dentro. mar: 0, lo intenté pero es que odio a este grupo.
Damit kann ich nix anfangen. Wenn man das eine Stunde lang angehört hat, dann ist das Hirn leer!
Completely unknown band and rightly so. Too weird for my taste.
Not my bag
Not for me just pointless noise
Really just not an interesting genre for me. Didn’t finish the record.
Not enjoyable
This is definitely not the type of music I enjoy. It’s overly repetitive without any real lyrics or melody. So far the one redeeming quality I’ve heard is some interesting beats but they go on so long that it feels like a hammer on my eardrums. I suppose it’s in this list because of how they blended techno and harder rock riffs.
This was not good.
Nah, fuck this shit.
Ffs people in the '90s would listen to anything with an electronic drum track
I feel like for every Clube Da Esquina by Milton Nascimento I have to sit through five Brit Pop albums and two overlong terribly repetitive electronics dance albums.
Each track. Same electronic riffs. Same beat. Different words. Same bad vibe. Music To Jilt A Generation.
Man, what a pile of techno garbage.
Not my jam
Mercifully, two of the tracks weren't available on Spotify, so I saved 15 minutes of my life
Voldsomt til mas da. Nei takk.
You know how the second Mission Impossible movie has the most ridiculous, absurd 90's score? How that movie is a bore to get through. This is the same thing. DNF Best Song: Speedway Rating: 2/10 Stars: 1/5
I don’t get this at all.
Miserable
Noping the fuck out of this one. It's like Firestarter on streoids for a whole album
This is legit giving me anxiety. I hate it.
I really wanted to like this album because my wife like prodigy, but i just dont. The song not very melodic except Vodoo People. Also doesnt help when the artist says the album is too long and would love to leave 3 songs off...
Not for me.
Well there goes my high 90’s decade rating right down the toilet. Fuck this album. Full disclosure, I didn’t finish. I bailed after 6 tracks (which was still 32 lousy minutes of repetitive nonsense). I didn’t like Prodigy’s weird techno bull shit when they popped up in America in mid 90’s. I still didn’t like it when The Matrix came out and made industrial techno and those dumb long leather duster jackets popular again at the end of the decade either. I’ll bet this genre is a considerably better listen in a crowded warehouse rave at 3 am high as hell on ecstasy, but it’s god awful at 8:00 am behind a desk reviewing insurance claims. There had better be an Iron Maiden album down the road on this list, or I’m calling bull shit! 0 ⭐️🖕🏻🖕🏻
Maybe I’m not jilted enough, but I have a hard time believing anyone actually wants to sit down and listen to this. I can understand it would be awesome on a bunch of ecstasy at a rave, but let’s keep things where they belong.
The one good thing I can say for this album was that it was easy to tune out
ENOUGH
Above all, a waste of a great band name.
Meh
An album full of very repetitive boring songs, that I feel go on for way too long. I felt bored of this album half way through but managed to listen to all of it. Standout track: Voodoo People
I was happy when this ended
I couldn’t tell if these songs were a million years long or just that repetitive. Very much feels like music that may have been in The Matrix or movies of that time period.
I didn’t have the patience to make it more than about 10 mins. The matrix was a cool movie though.
Here's a prophecy about The Prodigy: 30 years after this album was released, I'll rate it as terrible on this list.
Reminds me of the soundtrack to a racing car PlayStation game in the early 2000s
Noooo
I hated this. This is music for the dance clubs in a sci fi video game
Not what I expected, but in a bad way. Electric much more than any kind of metal.
Puke. More techno electronic thump thump crap.
Just no. It could serve a purpose as background music at a gym, or a dance club, but I just don’t get it. It may be great to those that like this genre, but I am certain that I will never intentionally listen to it again. I only listened to maybe half of the first album as I would fast forward through portions of “songs” and generallly it was hard to tell I was doing so as it was picking up right where I left off.
this kind of music makes my head hurt, ok for low level background music i suppose. I was never into the rave scene.
Eletrônica. Chato. Sem graça
I had to bail 5 songs in. I felt annoyed and like I was in a store at the mall that has nothing of interest to me. Even the track with “reverse Star Wars” was annoying.
I’m sorry but no … there is no way I could have listened to this all the way through without skipping. Good soundtrack for a 90s hacker movie though.
Big NO
a big No
I’m not part of the jilted generation so this album does not apply to me (thankfully) 1/5 14/5/24
Tf is this?
Never have I ever: understood The Prodigy. Like Underworld I guess you had to be there. And be on drugs. Good drugs.
Had this nightmare of a record been two minutes longer, I would have needed to call in sick from work due to stress.
no mg
feels like it never ends
I can’t wait for this to end. I didn’t like it in 1994 and I don’t like it now. Listening to it makes me jittery and anxious and I honestly don’t understand how people can listen to it. 1
click click click could i write poetry to this? n
I can't do this one. I tried it several times getting a little further each time, but it's just repetitive and not interesting at all. 1/5
Noise hurting my ears
I can't do it. Got halfway through. This borderline isn't even music, and this DEFINITELY isn't danceable music.
Not my vibe at all, didn’t enjoy any aspect of the album.
There might be some electronica out there that doesn't suck but this wasn't it.
This album made me realize I'm officially at the "this music is just noise" age
Now I can confirm that I am not part of the jilted generation, thanks guys!
Too much electronica for me
If techno-dance-industrial-rock is your thing then this album is for you, otherwise ...
Day49 - maybe at the club late at night this might be cool but i don’t know who could listen to this on a wednesday
Another gd prodigy album? Only listing 1001 albums ever made and TWO of them are prodigy albums? What a joke.
Ok I can just tell this is gonna suck 1
It’s for people in the 90s that did ecstasy, weird graffiti artist or parkour montages.
Repetitive electronic music made for people who are off their face. If your songs are this tedious they should at least be short, what's with all the 7+ min tracks! Not for me at all
some weirdo stuff you would imagine them dancing to in the matrix underground city.... long songs like 6-9 mins long, techno/electric dance type music..... 1 star, not into it
I really thought this was gross. Not my kind of scene, brother
I suppose if I ever want to really annoy my neighbors, or make them worry about my drug use, I know what to blast through the windows.
obnoxious
Made it about halfway through this before I just couldn’t go any farther.
the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was getting two albums by the prodigy put onto this list
Feels like I'm listening to an extended version of the Matrix Soundtrack. I remember when STOMP was huge.
No vocals. Electronic. Not my style at all
I remember when GarageBand first came out. My buddy and I got drunk and made a whole bunch of songs that sounded just like this. Maybe it's better with strobe lights and ecstasy, but I'm not really willing to try it at my age.
