Reviews (page 8 of 15)
Very familiar with this album and while I love electronic music, this gets a little tedious. Fat Boy Slim uses the same trick over and over throughout the album. Very formulaic.
Classic bangers
As a sweet soul brother of several years, I was dismayed to learn that this album was, in fact, a funk soul brother's album. I have never felt such discrimination in my life. I'm vaguely familiar with this album and artist. Me pappy played "Praise You" once and I've heard some of the other songs on this album through the radio. The Jet Set Radio soundtrack was the first-ever body of music that I listened to of my own accord, so I also have fond memories of the "big beat" genre. All this to say that "You've Come a Long Way, Baby" should have appealed to me much more than it actually did. I'm not entirely sure what the Jet Set Radio soundtrack has which this album lacks aside from a greater level of variety. Many of these songs feel "flat" to me, which is a criticism that is very hard to articulate. There's a lack of fidelity. The electronic tones don't have any depth. The music inches along at a snail's pace and moves at a near-constant tempo. Uhh, moving on. There are some good moments. The looping on Gangster Trippin as well as a few other songs works well when the samples quickly repeat at the many climactic moments of the album. "Right Here, Right Now" is also good - my favourite song on the album. String instruments continue to be my music-listening soft spot and the layered, percussion-heavy sound is very good. My biggest gripe is that this album is long long loooooooooong. I can respect this album for having a strong enough identity to do it's own thing for an hour straight, though I really need something to break the pace when I'm listening to an album which is of a constant high-energy. All of these songs being 5+ minutes is also a real dealbreaker. To me, the appeal of sample-heavy music rests in the ability to harness and retool a vast array of sounds, not the same pool of noises being repeated for longer than they're welcome. This musical style is very unique, of-the-time and worthy of immortalisation within the book, though I'm still curious to see the exact reasons of inclusion. Let's see. "Exceedingly immature". A figurehead of the late-90s resurgence in club music. Multiplatinum seller. An alternative to the drug-fuelled haze of house music. A classic within big beat music. I figured there'd be more to this album other than selling well and becoming a classic within it's genre, though these are good enough reasons for me.
Loved it.
Decent. Some timeless classics and one or two still sound fresh.
You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby is just a fun album, plain and simple. It’s not something I’d throw on for deep, focused listening, but as background music? It’s perfect. It keeps the energy up without getting in the way — great for driving, cleaning, or just vibing out. “Rockafeller Skank” is still a total banger and basically impossible not to nod along to. “Praise You” has that weird charm that sticks with you, and “Kalifornia” brings a nice groove with some grit. The whole album’s got that late-90s big beat thing going strong, and Fatboy Slim knows exactly what he’s doing behind the boards. Some of the tracks can blur together a bit, but honestly, that’s part of the charm; It’s not trying to be overly serious. Favorite song: Kalifornia
The very definition of a "you only need to listen to the singles". Some astonishingly good singles mixed with some ok and mildly catchy and some downright irritating songs. I think I liked this more when I was younger.
The hits from this are tremendous. It's incredible how he could pull samples together and make them such impressive cohesive tracks. Especially considering how long ago it was and what technology was available. Also though he loves having his name mentioned in tracks, it's a bit Shakira Shakira. Plus they're very long and the non album tracks are pretty repetitive. The hits made it good.
By some coincidence I had an early housemate in Roxbury in the late 1990s who was a huge Housemartins fan. Still not sure why this was the case, he was otherwise into American indie, britpop, but especially swing music. Like BIG TIME into the swing scene, went to dance nights in Manhattan during the week, was in videos and photo shoots for I can’t remember. Anyhow, speaking of 1990s trends, big beat, eh? I always find it peculiar what gets left out of the 90s post-mortems, like the whole decade ended in April 1994 or when Bush had their first hit or whatever. Meanwhile, “music” was moving forward on its own with and without the help of the business. 1997 was supposed to be The Year, if not summer of Electronica - Dig Your Own Hole and especially Fat of the Land - but the sound did not cross over, at least, not as was planned. Instead, the next and following years, this rando Brit DJ pulled together a set of novelty “techno” songs and kaboom. None of this really ever clicked for me, it’s so close to being sublime, next-level stuff, but Cook stays in his lane. Which apparently was a very profitable one, jeezus. The best example, aside from the general sense “Praise You” is missing that little something extra but keeps it safe for 1000s of ad breaks to come, is the breakdown of “Rockafeller Skank”: as the vocal sample speeds up and the (big) beat drops out it starts taking on a rhythm of its own which then just...folds back into surf rock basis of the song. A better artist would’ve seized that and gone off in a different direction - Daft Punk created an entire set around this idea - but Cook is ultimately very staid, very predictable, focused on colouring inside the lines.
Repetition is only good when something bears repeating. Loops for loops’ sake. A great start then leads to getting lost in a succession of boring middle songs before Praise You saved me a bit toward the end. Mercifully little more to listen to after that. I’m sure I could bop to it with the right paraphernalia but it doesn’t lend itself to a quiet weekday evening listen.
Now this is what I call perfect party music. Unlike much of the shallow, formulaic dance music that dominated the ‘90s, this album feels both reflective and forward-thinking. It’s not just about “The Rockafeller Skank,” “Soul Surfing,” or “Praise You”—although the latter is my favorite track. It’s more than just an anthem; it captures the very essence of the late ’90s. Norman Cook has always been on my radar—not only because of his work with The Housemartins (and the spinoff, The Beautiful South, which I listened to a lot in the early 2000s—hello Closer Than Most)—but because of his unique ability to blend energy, wit, and depth. So yes—thank you, Norman.
This came out the year I was born and I remember hearing quite a bit of this album into the mid 2000s, so a lot of this is quite nostalgic like Praise You and The Rockafeller Skank. Gangster Trippin is quite like the Beastie Boys, I liked that one because of that Fucking in Heaven is actually quite good instrumentally, but the stupid vocal refrain spoils it. Kalifornia is kind of annoying, kind of 'kiddy'. Love Island sounds like some schlocky pisstake that Limmy would make on Ableton Good, but gets a bit tiring and repetitive after a while Highlights: Gangster Trippin, The Rockafeller Skank
Big Beat classics that are as subtle as bricks. Great as singles, tiring as an album.
I read all the reviews that complained about the repetition and thought to myself “hah, normies.” But by the end of this album it does begin to seem like it could’ve done more with each track’s ingredients. Not all of them - “Praise You” still rules all the way through - but enough. Still, I want to celebrate everything from this list that isn’t basic-ass rock music, and honestly it’s a fun album to throw on in the background and you’ll be tapping your feet. So yeah. 4 stars it’s great. Not a must-listen though.
Since I’m not currently tripping balls at a horribly mismanaged rave at Woodstock ‘99, this album of DJ recordings serves no purpose for me.
I throughly enjoyed, even though I didn’t think I would. It’s a fun record and would listen again. Although it felt like it kind of fell off towards the end.
Loved this. Repetitive in all the right ways.
Love me some Fatboy Slim. Repetitive, yes, but also super fun. I enjoyed every minute of it. Easy 5.
Very solid album. Lie it the more I think about it. Some absolute classics on there Specific rating - 4.0 Fav song- gangster trippin’ Least fav- kalifornia
Take back what I said before about repetitive music... turns out sometimes I really like it! Just really fun. Favourite: The Rockafeller Skank Least: Fucking in Heaven
3/10 neću ponovo slušati
Very nostalgic!
It’s a dance record with lots of samples going on. Not my cup of tea in any way shape or form. I made it through one listen but at the halfway point I was checking to see if it was almost done. Nothing I would listen to again.
Much as In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida was of its time, You’ve Come A Long Way is very much a 90s album. A good 90s album. I could listen to any of the songs any time, but the album as a whole I probably wouldn’t. Interesting that this was our follow up to Soul II Soul. They’re both dance albums that would be great in a club, but without folks shaken’ what they got, they’re a bit less interesting.
I am a fan of electronic music, and remember well when this record came out. I haven't thought a lot about since the almost 30 years since it came out. The key with electronic music is how well it ages. Nowadays, anyone can make an album on their home computer with the right software. But let's take a moment to appreciate that Norman Cook created this album in his home studio, in 1998, on an Atari ST computer, Creator software, and floppy disks. So the question is, does this album stand the test of time, especially the song Praise You, which I heard so much when it came out. I think it does. Other favorites, Rockefeller Skank, Kalifornia, and Acid 8000.
Isn’t this the most 90’s album to ever 90?
This is a super cool album I probably wouldn’t have checked out otherwise. You’ve Come A Long Way Baby kind of secretly has its fingers in a lot of different pies. The aesthetic base here is Big Beat/UK techno, but on a few levels, it delves into some really interesting spaces. You have some clear hip hop influence, as well as jungle, which all still kind of slots nicely together, however the way this album incorporates sampling has a really unique effect. Some of the sampled passages on here are in-tact enough that they can kind of be enjoyed as they would have been in their original context. This results in moments across this album that I can enjoy like (for example)a funk, psych or surf rock song, in a way that almost reminds me of plunderphonics. This is all incorporated into some super fun, groovy songs that are consistent across the project. I think I see how something like this could be seen as repetitive, but while the arcs of the songs are kind of repetitive, they transform subtly in a way that rewards close listening. Not to mention how dense and detailed this is on a moment to moment basis, so I didn’t think this was too repetitive at all. In Heaven is maybe a little annoying if you aren’t that into vox, but I think that even that song has a strong core. Ultimately, this was a really fun, exciting and rewarding listen.
Started well and then it went down. It’s just not my kind of music.
Long electronic albums from the 90s are hurdles I continue to encounter here. I'm doing this list to broaden my taste and deepen my understanding of popular music (catch-all term there) and its evolution, so I'm trying not to whine about it. That being said, I feel like at this point I can safely say this isn't a genre for me. Then again, Aphex Twin knocked me on my ass, so what sauce does he have that isn't here? Well, I don't hear a sense of adventure, it's not very dynamic, and I would not say it conveys atmosphere. I thought it would make good music for working, but it annoyed me too often. The use of spoken samples, spliced and repetitive and self-satisfied, particularly bothered me. "Check it out now, funk soul brother!" Oh please. "Gangster Trippin"? You were raised in Surrey, man. Get outta here. This is the first album where I've truly been tempted to not finish it.
Great album. Norm Cook came a ‘long way’ from the Housemartins.
Great album for running!
Hell yeah! Fat boy slim came through with ear worm after ear worm of infectious songs. 8/10 Favorite songs: Rockefeller skank, praise you, in heaven, kalifornia
First of all, let me talk about the album art. It's so funny, instant 10/10. For the actual review, 2 English Club music legends in a row is crazy. I'm just coming off of Depeche Mode and straight into Fatboy Slim, the "Band of the 90's, if you wanna call it a band, because it's a one man name." I actually have no idea how to rate this album objectively. On vibes alone and how much I personally enjoy it, it's probably a 4/5, like Depeche Mode. Yes, it's very repetitive, but with club music you're kind of going to get that. You either love it or hate it, and I definitely love it. However, is it as good as Depeche Mode? I don't know if it is. The double edged sword of Fatboy Slim is that the entire album is just sound, therefore not very memorable until you replay it, but the sound is all super good. So do I give it, as an album, a 3? Or do I go off of vibes and personal enjoyment and give it a 4? I really don't know. The transition from "Right Here Right Now" into "The Rockafeller Skank" is smooth as butter though, really really cool. Also easily the 2 best songs on the album for sure. The funk soul brother check it out now!! The funk soul brother right about now!!
Not for me at all. But I could understand why someone would like it 5/10
Really funky but soon got quite repetitive
Fun listen. Funky and catchy songs. The samples are a bit long and repetitive as you go through the album. It's a listen I prefer with individual songs.
Some classics in there obviously, but the loops are a bit too annoying and repetitive for me. Teenage me thought it was the coolest shit though.
what in the ancient EDM. it was catchy at times though. [robot voice] fatboy slim is schmoicking in heaven
It's fine.
Encapsulating the DJ sound of the late 90s early aughts. Permeated the cultural landscape through TV, Movies, Ads, Clubs, everywhere. Catchy and pervasive, I think it would be hard to find someone who has not heard and would recognize that they had heard Rockafeller Skank, Right Here RIght Now, and Praise You...even though they would probably have no idea who Fatboy Slim is.
Thoroughly enjoyable. Dance and grooved.
Praise You and Rockafella Skank are still cool. Much of the rest sounds the same, but more interesting and clever than a lot of the other EDM on here.
Oh what a banger record - the sound of the late 90s - each track a memory of a constant soundtrack everywhere you’d go - and yet it never did and does overstay its welcome. Had so much fun listening to this - even though I never really knew it as an album.
It was bad, I feel asleep in the middle of the album and woke up for last two tracks. My brain told me it was as bad when I was asleep though.
Two recent(ish) songs immediately spring to mind. Houdini by Eminem and I'm Good by Bebe Rexha - there are many more. It's 2000-and-20-something, you can pretty much sample and manipulate existing sounds in ways you could not have dreamt possible 20 years ago. And yet here we are, just lifting an existing piece of music wholesale and not even bothering to change any of the melodic or rhythmic content to "create" and new composition - nope, just alter a couple of the words and were done. Rewind a couple of decades or so, and Norman Cook is laboriously building up a library of samples and musical snippets of interest from obscure sources on FLOPPY FUCKING DISCS which he would eventually use to assemble musical tapestries that at least have the decency to distance themselves from those sources by several degrees of creativity. A bit cheesy and of-its-time this album may be, but this is how - if you are going to take existing work and craft it into something new - it is supposed to be done.
Definitely Fatboy Slim's seminal album, for those familiar. About as mainstream as it gets for this big beat era, as you've got smash hits such as "Right Here, Right Now", "The Rockafeller Skank", and "Praise You". Inspired use of sampling and not too heavy/overbearing in the "beat" aspect of it all. One of the more accessible big beat works, if we're being honest.
So good
I bought this album but I could only really remember the singles. It turns out there’s a reason for that, but the singles are still fun.
Mid per me
Good album but it got repetitive for me.
Unknown band to me. Too much repetitive sound and vulgarity for my taste. Poor album.
This rocks for what it is, can't really imagine better. But if Rust Never Sleeps is a 5...
Never realized how good this album was. To quote the album, “if this don’t move your booty; you’re booty might be dead”
Music for fucking (and being fucked) in heaven. Track 3 is called, 'Fucking in Heaven' and I think we can all agree that if there is no sex in heaven they need to be sued for false advertising. Imagine you somehow end up in heaven, you are mad horny (dying will do that sometimes) and as you seek some carnal satisfaction (we still have bodies, right?) you see a big sign that reads NO FUCKING IN HEAVEN - YOU ARE ABOVE THAT NOW - LOVE GOD XOXO ... but there must be- there simply better be! Fun body music! Dance! Fuck! Fight! Keep moving! You've Come a Long Way Baby by Fat Boy Slim makes me want to dance naked under the stars and in my book, you simply can't ask for much more from an album.
ist ganz gut 3.5 Sterne würd ich sagen aber jetzt nicht für die Playlist fav Gangster trippin
Die Songs sind oft teilweise gut aber switchen dann zu nem nervigen Part, dazu fucken die meisten Vocal Samples einfach nur ab. Bester: Praise You Schlechtester: Acid 8000
It isn't bad. It's of it's time. The hits are good and the rest are fine.
Good but not great electronic album
Ще ми се всичката електронна музика да е такава
A 1-minute blast of FBS can be quite exciting. Perfect soundtrack to advertise your affordable hatchback. 5-mins is usually a fairly interesting listen (sample spotting, intriguing production, fun times etc.). 10 mins is getting wearing. Half an hour is way too much. What's that? Another big buildup and breakdown you say? Another frantic 16/4 drum climax? A full album? Utter overdose 💀
It's fine. I imagine I would've liked this more when I was in high school. It's certainly no "Discovery" or "Since I Left You," but it's fine. Speaking of, why is the former not on this list?
2/5 One point for "Right Here, Right Now" and one point for "Praise You." Really repetitive. Like, REALLY repetitive. Not bad if you just wanna dance in a club or something, but to listen to for enjoyment? It's not it.
The 4 hits from the album still stand the test of time. The other tracks are kind of repetitive and dull. And the Praise You music video is still a work of genius from Spike Jonze.
I forget how repetitive this record is. Incredible innovation for its time.
IM GOING INSANE AAAAAAAAAAAGH
3.25
Never listened to the whole album before. I can dig it!
Crap. I thought vocals would help, they don't. It's now not just dull but also bloody irritating
No.
Repetitive certainly
Funk soul Brother
Love the classic 90’s style but I find it gets a tad monotonous
Classic!
I was obsessed with finding the opening track as a child (in a Spotify free world), although that has dated quite a bit now. Some really obnoxious stuff on here - always hated some of the more popular tracks - but a lot of hits on one record so an extra star for that.
I’ve enjoyed FBS hits since hearing on the radio as a kid. Didn’t know most were from this album! Rest of the songs were fun too.
DISLIKE!
Interesting case of an album that was groundbreaking and unique at its time of release, but just has not aged well. It sounds old and simple. Electronic music has come a long way since this came out. There are still a couple bangers on here, but even those are pretty nostalgia driven.
A fantastic album from start to finish
I never could get into Fat Boy Slim
Dated technically, but contemporary in beats and samples. Rockafeller Skank was a jam and still is.
This feels like a GTA OST album. I could see how this could be lauded in its specific niche, but it's not for me. Or probably just not right now.
not my fave but it was fun to listen to and funky and groovy
Fatboy Slim’s 1998 breakthrough, *You’ve Come a Long Way, Baby*, is a monumental work of Big Beat that undeniably helped define and soundtrack a generation, launching huge, iconic singles like “The Rockafeller Skank” and “Praise You” that perfectly captured the hedonistic spirit of the late '90s. However, despite its cultural impact and flawless energy on the standout tracks, the album ultimately suffers from a degree of thematic and sonic repetition, relying heavily on the same foundational loop-and-sample formula which causes some of the deeper cuts to feel like variations on a theme rather than distinct, compelling ideas.
I’ve always preferred Prodigy and to a lesser extent Chemical Brothers as far as late 90s electronic hit acts go. This one is cool too, but the repetition of the samples does wear on one eventually.
Fucking in heaven
This was fun for a bit, but I was kind of ready to rip my hair out after an hour of it. I can completely understand being at a rave, but this doesn’t really work at home for me. Not that I like raves, either. Once again, another electronica album that’s not for me.
Banger macht sehr viel Spaß irgendwann bisschen repetitiv aber schon sehr cool
Some great tunes, some not so great, but the album is an absolute classic.
This album has the hits "Praise You", "Right Here, Right Now" and "Rockafeller Skank" which are great and carry this album. The other tracks aren't bad but not particularly memorable. As a result, I would probably choose to listen to just the tracks I like rather than the album as a whole.
Had it's moments. Cool tone sweep followed by metric modulation.
i fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking fucking love this album
Disgusting
Enough of the overly long electronica records already - I’ve already come a long way baby!
I find it very irritating but could be a vibe at a skatepark I guess
Truly great. Criticizing repeated lyrics here is like criticizing rock music for having riffs. It's the style, it works perfectly, and does exactly what it's supposed to do Edit Apr 15 2026: 5 --> 4. I have a lot of nostalgia for it, but I don't feel it enough for a 5/5 here
This album took me a while to get into, to me it had a stronger back half. Enjoyable but isn’t going to be one I would probably re-listen to.
Fun album, reminds of my fist year of Uni. Great tunes and the videos are what really cemented these for me at the time. So many bangers…not an album I’ll listen to often but always love it when I do
this would be more enjoyable if each song was like a third of the length
3.5
Right Here, Right Now The Rockafeller Skank Gangster Tripping Praise You
Shocked at how much I truly enjoyed this. Would not listen often, but definitely would work on occasion.
Ohh yeah I did like actually! Lots of classics on.
This album fucks.
This was almost a 5 and I was shocked by that.
Ok, not my kind of music. Partly not so boring, but mostly didn't like it. And ... this is - in my opinion - not music to listen to at home - this is only fun when dancing
A damn good start and good ending stretch to this album is killed by a hit or miss middle
Aight
Very good...
Great beats, great energy. This is what electronic music should be. After all these years, I still can't believe that that's Norman Cook from the Housemartins! Liked Songs Added: The Rockafeller Skank Soul Surfing Praise You Love Island Acid 8000
nice
Interesting experiments with electronic and pop music, tiring after a while
Always happy to find more instrumental albums for work! Nothing super interesting tbh and a lot of the 90s era hip hop sounds have dated a lil imo, but it’s still a nice groovy background listen while trying to stay focused
Too much audio fuckery 2/5
I listened to this a couple hundred times BITD and never knew the wall of LPs wasn't the proper cover art
Fatboy is f**ing and f**ing and f**ing in heaven.... Epic album. Takes me me back to grade 12. And then the Big Beach Boutique II concert, while I was living in Brighton, just around the corner from Norman's studio. This album, along with Dig Your Own Hole, Homework and Orbital's Insides are what first got me into electronic music, which was initially a hard sell as I was mostly into rock and rap. Love Norman's rap and funk sensibilities. The high points are super high on this album, aka Funk Soul Brother, Praise You, and really the first few tracks. There is some filler in the middle though, which is why I dropped this down to a four.
1. nouu - 1.5 2. zkank - 1.5 3. heaven - 1.5 4. trippin - 1 5. douun - 1.5 6. california - 1 7. zoul - 1.5 8. brighton - 1.5 9. praize - 1 10. love - 1.5 11. acid - 1.5
Don’t like. I’m sure this slapped in the 90s though
I didn't know Fatboy Slim was chill like that
Long and repetitive. Standout song Build it up tear it down.
A mix of funk, electronic music, hiphop and maybe a bit of jazz. This album is superb and a staple piece of the 90s
It was fine. Nothing really memorable. Don't think it belongs here if I'm being completely honest. 2/5
Fun
Quality, vibey houseish Best song - Praise You
Some good parts but very repetitive. Could’ve been half as long.
7/10 - It was a pretty fun listen. A lot of cool electronic sounds. A lot of the songs were repetitive but that is a little expected for older electronic songs.
A lot better than most of the other 90s-2000s electronica/techno on the list
Enjoyed it much more than I expected to. Obviously the hits are hits for a reason but I was surprised by the quality of the other tracks too. Not one I’ll revisit too often but a positive experience nonetheless
I thought it was a couple of songs repeat.
This album was pretty repetitive but it did have some good tracks. Standout tracks: Right Here Right Now, Fucking In Heaven, Praise You
interesting
Not for me. Too many high pitched electronic noises
I didn't expect something like this, but it surprised me pleasantly. I even saved it to hear it later.

Daft Punk if they were shit?
Not for me, but I can see how others would enjoy it.
Weird. Sproingly. Sometimes objectively bad. But hell yeah I'm gonna listen to it multiple times >:D
This is most likely my favorite Beck album and also generally one of my favorites overall. Every song is memorable.
I liked that one song that was everywhere off this album ("Rockefeller Skank") but never had any desire to explore further, just not a genre I am into. Of course I've heard that "Right Here, Right Now" song about a billion times in commercials and at sporting events but I never knew that was Fatboy Slim. I did know "Praise You" was them. This album had some bangers, as the kids say. In the middle I got tired of it though - "Build It Up - Tear It Down," "Kalifornia," and "Soul Surfing" just annoyed me and the repetitive crap is why I don't like this genre. Ben used to listen to it constantly and I just didn't get it. But I'm sure it was great in the clubs, where I wouldn't be caught dead.
not mine but was a changing album
This album is outrageously good. Not usually an EDM fan but this album is wall to wall bangers! The Rockefeller Skank is an absolute classic, so is Praise You. But there's not a weak song on the whole album. FBS just has a completely unique style which is unmatched even to this day.
The Herr Fatboy Slim Shady mit sim pionier werk an album! So Art vo Albe hani erhofft bide 1001, ned wills absolute bangers sind, sondern will so Albe doch d zuekunft i verschidne genres prägt hend. Spassig zum lose, doch ide hütige ziit classy biz veraltet. Ich Gsehn de Fatboy aber mit sine retro synthies I sinere garage sites, chli umeexperimentiere und das Album us em ärmel schüttle. Dadefür biz abgrundeti 3 Fatboy Skinnyjeans
Stupidboy intelligent, Oftmals es bar classy tracks vu ihm ghört aber mir na nie ziit gnah für die fatboy. Isch gmüeltich, sicher au neui richtige ihgschlage mit dem style. Aber isch ez au nöd musikalisch mega schön für mich. 3 mal s(ch)lim inegrätsche vu mir
ui, han ja scho dänkt dass fatboy slim näbst de übliche verdächtigte no wiiteri bangers hed, aber dass die au so inechlöpfed hani scho nöd erwartet da muessi fast 5 dicki stern gäh, und mit fast meini dassis wüki mache muess
Most of the songs are not that exciting.
Love it!
Solid electronic music, but not the type I like personally. Favorite was Acid 8000.
++*: Praise You ++: Fucking in Heaven, Soul Surfing +: Gangster Tripping, Build It Up – Tear It Down, You're Not from Brighton +-: Right Here, Right Now, The Rockafeller Skank, Kalifornia -: Love Island, Acid 8000 4,9/10
Epic mood-setter. Great vibes.
Had me diving off the balcony tbh
I've also seen the videos :)
i was doing the christopher walken shuffle with spike jones in front of the cinema if you kno what i mean #dvdwatcher
3,5
Oooooo yeah! Takes me back. Love how the album ends.
Pretty banging tbf enjoyed the classics
Proper good one, parents spammed some of these when I was a kid and they still hold up
First two tracks are classics. Generally, this is a genre I have little interest in, but those are undeniable. I feel there isn't much variation to the album, but then it was fairly pioneering in its approach, so perhaps that makes sense. The intro to Track 1 may be one of the strongest I've heard. Not for me
I know this album very well. It was a album I liked testing my bass on whatever sound system I had at the time (When I was young like Kalifornia or Love island (it builds to the mother load)). I think by this point I had a subwoofer setup. I didn’t like fatboy slim when I first experienced it. It grew on me however and at the time so did other music like chemical brothers. 15 years old when this came out! Solid album for me and fact its outside of my normal music listening it still manages to wiggle its way in for me.
I remember the hype about this album. I don't mind a bit of sampling and looping but this has the feeling of someone experimenting with a new technology for the first time and people liking it just because it's novel. I find the first 30 seconds of each track is ok, bit of a groove, 3 mins later I'm bored stiff from hearing the same looped rhythm and lyric samples for the thousandth time. This album might have seemed fresh and interesting once but I don't hear any long term musical merit and I don't think it will stand the test of time.
This is really good. Club/party music is not in my wheelhouse, but FBS has produced an accessible, yet really interesting, album worth of beats, riffs, and samples that are designed to keep your dance floor hopping. It’s fun & listenable, very well crafted, and showcases the artist’s talent & sharp instinct for what keeps the flow flowing. Four.
It's good, and the hits are awesome. But the album as a whole is quite repetitive
This 100% belongs in top 50 best albums ever.
What an absolute vibe to work to!
Tedious, repetitive. There are maybe a few tracks that are okay. It's the kind of music that I might put on if the purpose isn't to listen to music, but rather while I'm doing something else; Playing a game (that doesn't have a good soundtrack). Cleaning the house. Doing laundry. Whatever...
Still a banger
Fun 90's electronic music.
I mean bringing EDM to Pop world is pretty crazy. And listening to this it’s easy to understand why.
So I think this is one of those projects that has great ideas, and I can see why people would enjoy it. For me, though, it's just not engaging enough. I don't mind repetition, but some of the ideas here just don't get the fully baked treatment that others do. It's not super consistent as a whole.
90s sample-based dance music. Not bad and some classics on here, but I can’t see myself listening to the album again.
Right here Right now Right here Right now Right here Right now Right here Right now Right here Right now
As one of my friends said, Fat Bos Slim it's like Tarantino in Music.
Basically a full album of beats. And honestly they’re really great. I just wish there was a little bit less repetition. Even just basic lyrics over some of the songs would’ve elevated this into a great album.
This album is a party ready to go. Norman Cook is a musical chameleon and genius on the level of Damon Albarn.
I get the craft and movement but very hard to listen to. Not my thing.
Fun and accessible
oh my god……the chimp is surfing!!!!
I did not enjoy this album, and I don't know how anybody could. The exception being Praise You, I think this actually belongs on a list of albums to avoid listening to because it could result in your death. 2
2/5 Not as great as i remember, Except rockafeller skank, the rest of the album is abit boring.
72/100. You've Come a Long Way, Baby by Fatboy Slim is a good big beat album with infectious energy. While it can feel repetitive, the beats are strong enough to keep it engaging. Overall, a fun and enjoyable listen, even if it doesn’t reinvent the genre.
Oh weh, 1998. So lange ist das schon her...? Nicht mein Genre, aber 4 gute Songs gibt es. Wem (wie mir) der Opener Right Here, Right Now gefällt, dem empfehle ich, mal Ashes The Rain And I von James Gang anzuhören.
2 out of 5. Another album I had no idea had so many famous songs on it.
Maan this was really fun. There were a bunch that i liked
Liked it more than I thought I would. I'm not a huge electronic music fan but there is stuff that is fun and catchy.
Hell yeah. Consistent, groovy, garbage can drum loops, could get down to all this hard.
Solid album all the way through
I hated this when it came out. Now that is probably because I was a snotty teenager on the other side of the rock vs. dance separation that existed throughout the 90s. A quarter of a century later I can appreciate it more, but it's still overly repetitive. It will probably be a long time before I listen again.
Not a record I would normally listen to, but I quite liked it
Elektronika, której nie trawię. Był taki czas, kiedy trzy hity z tej płyty leciały wszędzie. Mogę je przesłuchać, uszy mi nie odpadną, ale czy to naprawdę jest muzyka najwyższej jakości? Powtarzalna i odtwórcza? 5/10
Its fatboy sliiiiiiiim
I don't like this
The first song started out okay but the rest of the album got more and more grating to listen to, last few songs got a bit better, 1.5/5.
This was a fun listen but didn't actually want to listen again
I've never attended a rave. I don't know the difference between house and dub-step. This album is definitely too long. I was a conscious person in America in 1998, so "Rockefeller Skank" has been burned into my brain (although not the extended album version; just the radio edit). All that said, I somehow still enjoyed some of this. Is this what Throbbing Gristle aspired to? It was ultimately too repetitive to get to a 3, but it was close. 2.4
2/10
1) major nostalgia 2) great choice for AM workout! love the generator today.
3 stars
This was awesome. I knew a few of these already, and they were (of course) wonderful, but the rest were great too. I listened to this twice -- five stars.
I'm expected to listen to this shit for over an hour???? This album is all of the worst stereotypes associated with electronic music. Way too long, entirely repetitive sounds within and across tracks, nonsensical samples that add no value at all...Dimery could have cut out about 50 other UK electronica albums from this exercise and used this album as the sole representation of how shit the genre is
Pretty good, not totally my thing but it wasn't a bad listen at all. Makes me want to take up breakdancing!
These jams are way too long. A product of the CD era though. “We must fill the entirety of a 74 minute CD!” Just gets boring after a while. Everything is of a similar tempo. I wonder how many club kids from that time still enjoy this album. I feel like it probably doesn’t hold up
One of the better electronica albums I've heard, but listening to it gave me a headache
Ergens begrijp ik de appeal van Fatboy Slim wel. Hij heeft een geweldig oor voor catchy funk en soul gems van vroeger, en hij wist die te verpakken in een typisch 90s house/techno jasje, waarmee hij de dansvloeren wist te veroveren. Maar ik kan niet zeggen dat het erg goed met de tijd is meegegroeid, vooral als je het vergelijkt met de creatieve creaties van 'sampledelia' artiesten uit het zelfde tijdsframe. Werk van DJ Shadow of The Avalanches hebben veel meer lagen, en blijven daardoor tot de dag van vandaag verfrissend. Ik begrijp wel dat de insteek van Fatboy Slim anders was, en dat het meer ging om de crowd te pleasen, maar hij komt er bij mij wel wat slechter van af bij de beoordeling. Ik heb me best vermaakt met de classics, en ik waande me weer eventjes in FIFA 98, maar over de gehele lengte is het gewoon te repeterend en raak je snel uitgeblust door het gebrek aan sample-variatie. De drops vind ik ook soms wel een beetje tenenkrommend. 6 voor de moeite, die er echt wel inzit. 6/10 Highlights: The Rockafeller Skank Praise You
Fatboy Slim is een makkie bij Hitster, net als veel andere 90-s artiesten, met name DJ's. Het klinkt zo erg naar dat decennium, dat heeft wel iets moois. En uiteraard voor dertigers ook speelt hier ook zeker de nostalgie mee. Maar zo lekker als muziek uit de jaren 60 verjaard, zo matig doet muziek uit de 90-s dat. Op alleen nostalgie kom je er niet. Dat merk ik ook bij Fatboy Slim. Praise Your en Rockefeller Skank zijn wel soort van bangers maar kunnen kwalitatief niet tippen aan veel ander vergelijkbaar werk. 5,5/10 Highlights Rockefeller Skank Praise You
Did not like this at all. Does nothing new, very boring album overall
funky beats and great samples. what’s not to love?
Overall: 3/10 This is music for commercials. But also RIGHT ABOUT NOW THE FUNK SOUL BROTHER CHECK IT OUT NOW Fav Song: The Rockefeller Skank Least Fav Song: Kalifornia
I don't need a full album of this all at one time but most of these songs bop.
3 - I loved this album when it came out and I still love it today. This is classic late 90s big beat techno. Lots of bangers on this album but also this not going to be an album for everyone.
Just okay... outside of the three really popular tracks, one of which isn't even all that great, there's maybe one or two more tracks worth listening to. 5/10
A welcome reprise! 3 or 4 of these songs are so woven into the fabric of British society its impossible to objective about and whilst i knew them like national landmarks i dont think. I'd ever listened to the album Turns out its relatively good. For the complainers who call it repetitive, they dont understand this type of music. It builds in waves to generate euphoric reaction and this album certainly does its job. It is a little gauche in its approach and can pander to the lowest common denominator, but when your goal is to get a sea of people dancing like loons thats ok. We have to praise you like we should.
Felt like I was losing my mind but in a good way
Man I hadn't thought about this album in a long time. And that's ok. I feel like I don't need this record taking up any space in my brain. Not a fan of electronic music in general and this is pretty much right down the middle for the genre and the time. Just the repetitiveness of this is enough to turn anyone off. I seem to remember there being a lot of car commercials that used songs from this album. Or maybe that's just how it sounds. Anyway, not a fan. A generous 2/5
Big beat. This subgenre will forever hold a special place in my heart, given my age when it was popular; but as I and the world have evolved, it's just not as tangible as it once was. For one thing, this is dancing music - not casual listening music - and I do much less of the former nowadays... However, given this album's release date and purpose, I think it's fairly good. It's got exceptional mixing, some trancey rhythms, and lots of energy. All the things a good dance-oriented album should have. It's definitely not a casual listening album, though - so if that's the forum (like this challenge), then it can come across as repetitively oppressive at times. Still, for what it is when it was, I can't give it less than a 4. Oh, and a special shoutout to Praise You - that's a classic track.
I’m not well versed in electronic music. This seemed kinda bland. That one song I only remember because it was the song Rachael Leigh Cook had her dance battle at prom in She’s All that. This will be a neutral score as the music wasn’t great, but I was reminded fondly of Cook and her uncanny ability to choose the worst movies to act in.
Music to be strictly listened to in a field in nort-east Somerset at 3AM on a late June night
Not gonna lie, I kind of enjoyed this album. EDM was never my gig, but sometimes it fills a need. This is one I’d go back to if that itch needed a good scratch. Except for the “fucking” song. Stupid.
Solid most of the way through, some classic earworms, not really my genre but a good 4
Built some decent beats and then just repeats the hell out of them lyric/vocals are just stupid. Debated between a 1 or a 2 but the beats are generally solid.
Club beats aren’t really my thing, and this isn’t quite close enough to club beats that I’d enjoy anyway.
A wonderful record for making commercials.
Sort of amusing for a single listen, but it would get quickly annoying to listen to this multiple times.
This is enjoyable enough, in fast-casual dining chain sort of way – very large portions, smothered in sauce, and very much wants to be everything to everybody, but quite unhealthy to consume very often. Bottome line: big beat is just for stupid people with dodgy tastes and taking off extra points for so blatantly name-dropping and propping himself on the second cut with radio call-in sample.
3.5
This was surprisingly great. Perfect background music for work
Nah
Very fun!
Fatboy Slim - You've Come a Long Way, Baby At least there are some enjoyable moments here and there, and it is quite fun to listen to, but the music sounds all over the place. One thing goes after the other quickly, it's confusing to listen to this all together. Even though each song does transition to the next, personally it works best in shuffle honestly. It sounds kind of good, but there are other artists that did this better than him, to be honest this is decent. 1.- Right Here, Right Now = 8/10 2.- The Rockafeller Skank = 8/10 3.- Fucking In Heaven = 4/10 4.- Gangster Trippin' = 6/10 5.- Build It Up - Tear It Down = 5/10 6.- Kalifornia = 4/10 7.- Soul Surfing = 4/10 8.- You're Not From Brighton = 4/10 9.- Praise You = 9/10 10.- Love Island = 6/10 11.- Acid 8000 = 8/10 FINAL SCORE: 6/10
medio pe. Praise you es un temon igual
osea bien pero medio repetitivo
CAN YOU REALLY CALL IT MUSIC ???
хуйня
🎧Here Fatboy Slim answers the age old question, “if cocaine was an album, what album would it be?” Praise You is terrific though.
Terribile
Great. Fun to listen to, very upbeat but interesting.
Fun to finally sit down for a full record from a big name. Great even though it kind of sounds monotonous, it shines in that monotony. Awesome energy.
The individual songs are all fine, but as the whole the album becomes a little tiring and tedious to listen to.
I guess you had to be there
Ich glaube wenn man darauf Lust hat macht das richtig Spaß
Iconic
As much as I'm not a fan of electronic music, Fatboy Slim has a couple of iconic tracks under his belt that I love. This album demonstrates that he can make incredibly catchy music... but not necessarily that he always does. This album consists entirely of repetitive loopy songs with occasional interludes and minor additions to the loops. The problem with this style is that for the songs not to sound boring, the loops need to be really good. This album achieves this... with various degrees of success. And here's the issue: The average song length here is over 5.5 minutes, which is on a longer side for dance music. I don't mind The Rockafeller Skank begin almost 7 minutes long, because it's fun as hell, but there are some tracks here that are not that good (In Heaven, You're Not From Brighton, Acid 8000), so instead they feel like an overly long slog. You've Come a Long Way, Baby is definitely of its time, but it has its charm and the songs mostly range from fine to incredibly fun. 7/10
This is why I follow this list. This album is awesome! And even though I’m familiar with a few songs idk if I ever would’ve listened to the full album in its entirety. And this album is amazing, it’s fun and silly and really creative. Honestly this album is just a no skip experience. Go listen to it.
Some memorable songs like right here, right now, the rockafeller skank and praise you The rest of the album is easily forgettable 3.5
This is one of my most favorite dance albums of all time! I remember hearing it the first time I did in highschool or middle school and I was just blown away and also Right Here, Right Now, The Rockefeller Skank, Praise you?! Classics! 5 or if 5 album
A LOT all at once, but so many classics here. All I'm missing is Weapon of Choice.
hits are good, some of the other ones aren't working as hard yk
Nostalgic 90’s electronic mood (not vibe). A bit too repetitive without much build to be better than it is
More 90s fun!
Totally forgot about this album. Super fun
Loved it. From the album cover to the music. I should put him in my rotation more.
Well done, but too repetitive for me.
Really fun.
All in all, it's a fun listen.
Some classics here. Changed the way how DJ mixes can be for me.
Would have been a 4 if it weren't for the high repetition of lyrics
"Right Here, Right Now," "The Rockafeller Skank," and "Praise You" all have some good stuff going on but overall the album is kind of obnoxious. It dethrones Orbital 2 by Orbital as my least favorite techno album on the list.
Never realized that this album had a different (and very off-putting) cover in the UK. Regardless, I loved the Big Beat scene at the time and although this has aged poorly it still puts one in a pretty good mood.
quite fun tbh, liked it more than I thought I would
The last two songs are the weakest, but I’m still at 4 stars for it. I enjoyed it much more than his 1996 album. Fantastic production. Despite the genre, it still feels organic to me, no doubt a product of much of the sampling material. It’s just got a hell of a bite, and it’s still so hooky. Very happy to basically discover this one for the first time. 4/5
Brand new genre of music for me.
Good tunes but overplayed on my end. Great FIFA 99 menu music on the PC.
2.5 This music should be listened to in the club and i don't go to the club :(
Not for me :(
Blast from the past. 3.5 stars
Super Album mit geilen Party Liedern 4/5
This album is a medieval torture method
Fav: The Rockafeller Skank Least Fav: Fucking In Heaven Heard all of these already in nightclubs, nice surprise
Really didn’t enjoy this one, despite the two familiar tracks. Those were the only ones I at all enjoyed. Everything else: skip, skip, skip, after listening for about two minutes to each track. Dull, super repetitive, and annoying. The music doesn’t offer much of interest, beauty, or profundity to the listener.
Techno is another genre of music that I’m not well versed in. As such, the best I can say for this album is it’s ok. I don’t dislike it, but it also didn’t strike me in any kind of way. I will say that I’ve listened to some Chemical Brothers stuff that I find more appealing. But I don’t know how to really verbalize the differences, or even what they’re called. So this album was fine, but nothing that I would necessarily come back to either.
I'd listen to this occasionally, perhaps while working or exercising.
FATBOY SLIM IS FUCKING IN HEAVEN. FATBOY SLIM IS FUCKING IN HEAVEN. FATBOY SLIM IS FUCKING IN HEAVEN. FUCKING IN, FUCKING IN, FUCKING IN HEAVEN. Masterpiece. 10/10.
Hard to listen to in one sitting- moments of funky edm, but mostly just annoying. Praise You is the most listenable track. Not a fan of the genre, clearly. Why does it sound like the dentist's drill?
Not for me at all. The guy is talented for his genre though.
slaps
Great album. I haven't listened to it in a while.
Unique sounds and some good tracks.
Went into this knowing nothing and some of the songs were so fun!! Didn’t love the middle section of the album but I definitely see its merit as an electronic/dance-pop album from the 90s
Another one that comes my youth! I love this album and will never forget seeing Fat Boy Slim at Red Rocks.
the mixing is so cool but my brain is so numb
Who cannot fail to like these well known Anthems. Brilliant
An absolute banger of an album
There's some absolute bangers here, like "Right here, right now", "The Rockafeller Skank", "Fucking in Heavens", "Gangster Trippin" and, finally, "Praise you". The other songs felt more as an interlude and I was not as intrigued. Still, just the titles above mean that's a solid 7/10.
The three songs on here you know, you know. The rest just doesn’t seem to carry the age as well I give an extra star just because at the time it was something, but now it just feels a little grating.
Several songs on this album that are decent, or even pretty good, in isolation. As a whole-album experience it bored the crap out of me. Much too much repetition. Just not my bag.
5/10
This was such a fun listen, and I don’t typically love electronic music. My booty was movin for sure. That said, it felt like the heaviest hitters all came right at the front. The back half lagged just a tiny bit.
strong nostalgia trip here. kinda surprised my kid liked it too, so there's some staying power here.
Give the poor man a break. 4.5 big beats
one of the best & most unstoppably energetic records of all time. i'll leave it at that with the confidence that more eloquent ppl have put better words to why this is the case. i'm glad to belong to a species that produced this combination of sounds
horrible.
A banger of an album. Very nice background music with not much to think about. Simple beats yet it works.
I enjoyed it surprisingly much!
There are definitely good parts of this, but it’s absolute torture to have to listen to an hour straight of this. Nothing but samples
lucy said that a lot of this sounds like the part of a 90s family movie where the chimp/dog/animal they’ve met starts doing a bunch of crazy tricks on the ski slope/court/skate ramp/computer
It sounds like an evolutionary step in music. Boxy 90s hip hop beats, overly repetitive songs that are about twice as long as they need to be, and a paint-by-numbers approach to creating some sort of structure. Praise You is far and away the strongest song, largely due to having lyrics longer than four words. The beats are good, but it’s far too much for an album.
Thick sound, juicily melodic and real
Schwankt zwischen guter Partymusik und absolutem Schrott, hat aber irgendwie Spaß gemacht. Vielleicht ist es so schlecht, dass es schon wieder gut ist.
While more tolerable than a lot of electronica on this list I’ve encountered thus far, still very skippable. I vaguely remember a lot of this from listening to it on my Walkman riding the bus to school in 1998 when I was an equally annoying middle schooler. Half a star added for being a Seagulls supporter.
This is enjoyable enough, in a chain-restaurant or all-you-can-eat-buffett sort of way – very large portions, smothered in sauce and extras, but quite unhealthy to consume very often and attracting all the wrong sorts of people. The occasional earworms are way overplayed and the name-dropping and propping himself on the second cut with radio call-in sample is worth a full-point penalty. Big beat is clear evidence that more isn't more.
Not really my thing but I recognize it's full of what were considered to be 90s electro-pop bangers. Tip of the hat to this album.
