The Fat Of The Land

I am tired of giving out ones, but who the heck is picking these albums!?!

Do not like this

5/20/24. Didn't feel this one, and I'm not really oppossed to Big Beat. Just felt like this one was bit exhausting to listen to.

Brit electro beat. Dull and repetitious

Enough of the euro trash electronica records.

Hated it

Yuck. "Firestarter" is on my all time most hated songs list due to how often my dumb radio station would play it late at nights. Nobody wants to hear that shit cruising by the moonlight.

It's preposterous and dated and I suppose it has an audience but I'm obviously it, which sucks because I'm a white male and there's just not a whole lot out there in the world for boys like me. Pshaw.

Another difficult listen. Out of my interest sphere.

Number 1 of the 1001 albums that nobody wants to listen to

some sick beats but as a whole does nothing could i write poetry to this? n

Just strange music. Is it dance, new age, Rap, heavy metal? Got me. Not a fan.

I did feel like I was in an action movie chase scene when I cycled home in the evening so I suppose that counts for something Could’ve done without the whole domestic violence is good motif tho

I gave up early on.

I can’t listen to this.

This is so lame

This was an intense piece of trash

Not my style

Not for me

kinda sucked, forgettable

Whatever this was, I didn't like it.

This is crap! This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap! This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap! This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap! This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap! This is crap This is crap This is crap This is crap

Unholy alliance between hip-hop and electronic house music (both genres I do not like). This is the first album I found unlistenable -- it was like repetitive fingernails scraping across a chalkboard. After 4 tracks I sampled a couple more to make sure nothing changed and closed it down.

This may be for some ..but definitely NOT for me….put in on to take my shower, normally a calming wake up experience turned into shrill, anxiety ridden followed by high agitation levels…This album is as bad as fingernails on a Chaulk board….Noise, not music…. you have to give 1 star to vote.. or I would have given a negative number….dimply awful, I feel as though my ears are bleeding..

Is there zero stars? Because I want to give zero stars. I looked at the other albums that came out in 1997 just to make sure I was talking through my gray hair. Radiohead. Limpbisket. Blur. Faith No More. The list is even longer. All these bands leaned into distorted music. But it was still music. And I listened to them so I can set aside my “get off my lawn” bias. Also, the title and lyrics of that first song and the denial by the lead noisemaker, saying he meant something entirely different? Come’on. Reminds me of a politician, talking through both sides of their asshole. Zero stars. Zero.

Smack that bitch up. Huh.

Ugly cover, ugly music.

Not my taste of music.

Awful everything. The worst of the 90s in its undiluted form. DNF after two songs.

Horrid. Never listening again, sounds like a soundtrack from a shitty 90's action movie

Revolting shit. Somebody should smack these bitches up.

mmmm

I did not finish this. A very unimpressive effort that my dad enjoys. The insane promotion of domestic violence that the (also quite literally insane) singer, Kevin Flint, tried to claim was simply a metaphor for ‘being different’ or something stupid justifies one star, if nothing else does.

After the first couple songs, it all just started to blend together into one song. Probably just me, but I've never been a fan of the electronic/dance/rave kinda music. Had a headache by the end. Not for me. Interesting to start but was ready for it to end shortly after.... I'll go with 1.5, because it's no Suicide, but I can't get these guys to a 2. 1.5

Not my taste, couldn't get into it

I didn't enjoy this one at all.

This is a lot of heavy bass and electronic techno but for some reason a little bit of rapped mixed in. Not too sure why that was added in but the rhymes were pretty solid just felt really unnecessary. Overall this was boring to me. I just can’t do this kind of electronic music. 3.3/10

This Nine Inch Nails dance music feels dated. There are some cool hooks here and there but I'm not that big a fan of this 90s goth-core industrial electro British club kid rave music or whatever sub-genre it fits into.

Not good apart from the songs I already knew

Terrible. Couldn't finish it. Would have rather listened to Rebecca Black's Friday on repeat.

skipped every song

These fucking guys again. Look sure fine if I were at a rave in the nineties this would slap but I’m not and Smack My Bitch just isn’t my vibe.

Something my son would like.

Not my style.

This sucks. Should only be heard in a club. Nothing about it makes me want to listen to it. Gave up half way through.

Another piece of trash.

Actual cheeks

not really my cup of tea, sounded like the backtracking to every 90's action film i've ever seen.

Acá es donde me pregunto cuál sería la justificación de poner álbumes como este en la lista? Todo suena igual, no hay letra, parece una hora de música de fondo para una pelea en Matrix

Not interesting. I listened for about 15 minutes before I turned it off.

Yeah, definitely not a music genre I like listening to. I quit after four songs, nothing stood out to me, they all sound the same.

not for me

eh, same old droning beats

Wow this sucks.

Old albums being boring I am sad we used to make music like this. Could grow on me but I doubt it sorry. Favorite Tracks: Diesel Power

interesting to hear their electronic music but not going for a repeat listen.

Heard before: some Look, I get that the point of this is to be scuzzy, in your face dance music. But at the end of the day, that means it’s scuzzy and not fun to listen to. Just way too long and uninterested in anything except sticking its tongue out. Nice crab on the cover though. Top tracks: Firestarter, Diesel Power, Fuel My Fire

I used to like The Prodigy quite a bit when I was younger bu I have to say that this album really doesn't hit me the way it used to. Maybe I just got old idk

absolutely not. i can respect the space this occupied in the 90s but I need to be on drugs if I'm going to listen to any of these songs ever again. 1.4/5

Electronica. No soul.

Dislike

Well electronic music is one of my favourite genres, but this drum and bass shit is my least favourite. I find this sound incredibly annoying, its just too in your face and anxiety inducing. Music for obnoxious yobs.

Lots of noises

Nope. This is more dated than Tripp pants.

Just not good. Can’t believe this artist has this many albums included. Ridiculous. This is noise with percussion. Cannot be a must hear.

WELL this angry crab moving photo album cover is pretty cool and really captures a crab's personality and the way that they move too haha. I don't know about this album. I can definitely support The National Organisation for Women when they publicly objected to the track Smack My Bitch Up. It's just such a shame that has to ruin the rest of this amazing album and even that tune is incredible the vocals towards the end from Shahin Badar are mesmerisingly gorgeous. It's not even them singing that line it's all a sample. Couldn't they find something else to fit in there?? I find their claim that it was meant to represent "doing anything intensely" absolutely sickening... I wish I could focus on some of the other tracks and the fact of how influential their music was in the electronic music world and for so many musicians to come. I just think of all of the generation of 11-18 year-old boys listening to this album and getting all hyped and fired up and never even thinking about smacking any bitches up but always thinking a band who could get to number 1 for so fucking long with that line as the words ringing in everyone's heads were so great and cool. They purely just did it to get people talking about them that much is obvious and it worked and it's infuriating. SHAME!

"Smack My Bitch Up..." Why? Oh, who cares. Fuck off.

New artist! Not for me! 0/5

Very electronic from the get go Do not like the opening song, not a great start You do not like this album. Too 90's electro

Like one long song that just wouldn't end. It literally hurt my brain listening to this. I'm guessing the only real way to handle this is on drugs at a rave?

Didn't like it personally. Subjective opinion, not objective

I didn't like techno before listening to this. Now I like it even less. Repetitive meaningless and uninspiring. Perhaps I don't have the right chemical stimulation to enjoy it, I don't know and don't want to find out. If the chemicals can lead you to enjoy this they must be destroying your brain.

STOP GIVING ME EDM

Songs are catchy for the first minute or so, but are ultimately too long and repetitive for me to not zone out and try to think of something else.

What in the fucking fuck was this shit? Why this list includes not one, but at least TWO albums from the Prodigy is completely beyond me. You know an album is trying to be edgy when the first track is the gleefully misogynistic "Smack My Bitch Up". And when your defense against the song is that it's not sexist lyrics but rather a reference to heroin, that's not exactly an ironclad defense. That, and it's just a shitty song. Frankly this is a shitty album and the worst use of sampling I've ever heard. It's like bad house music found an ugly friend to stand next to just to look hotter. Probably not the very worst album on this list but easily the least enjoyable. And it's not because I don't enjoy experimental music; Portishead and a track or two from that weird bells album in the 70s were both more fun than this. I hate this crap. Had a track or two I hated less than the others, but overall a waste of time. Side note: "Smack My Bitch Up" was written by four men. Wow, color me fucking shocked.

This is really not my thing at all. Monotonous, synthetic, plodding. Breathe was okayish, other than that there was nothing I would want to hear again. Next!

Some of the songs are not terrible. The rest…

Didn’t age well

This is an album of songs of montage music. Specifically montages about edgy things. Once you've heard the first 30 seconds of each song, you've heard the whole thing. That being said, some of the beats sounded pretty good in their own right, but every song tended to repeat on and on. This wasn't the best experience.

I really don't care for this. I don't have anything else to say for this.

This album sucks. The wanna be models who also want to be singers need to stick to modeling. Firestarter may have been a hit during it time but the whole album sounds like the same song. 1997 had a bunch of what we called industrial rave music. That is this sound but you must be on a fair share of Crystal or X to enjoy the sound. I am too old for that shit therefor this makes for a tough listen.

Whack as fuck

Crab rave! Not my vibe to be honest. This makes me feel like I'm in a club in The Matrix (makes sense, one of the tracks is on the soundtrack). Fittingly then, 'Minefields' is my top pick.

I can't get what the metal scene has with "The prodigy". For me, it's just the basic electronic music with some new beats that didn't make too much to create good songs. This is the second prodigy's album that I get in this project and for the first one I gave 2 stars, but now, just electronic music: nice at the party, bad in my ears. Prefer the metal covers from this album, they are much better than it.

Didn't enjoy this at all. 1/5 stars.

My personal rating just a reflection of my enjoyment of this style of music. The sampling and production is definitely amazing, especially considering the type of technology available when this record was made.

Didnt like this album when it first came out, still don’t like it now

לא תודה, לא מתחבר לזה בכלל, לא אוהב

ew is this EDM or something i disliked this entire experience

Awful

Not my thing unless it is part of a movie soundtrack. It gave me anxiety

This sounds like a movie soundtrack to me. Ocean's 11 montages just flying around. Not my jam and I won't revisit this.

No, cringey

That was like bad Sonic game background music. I’d rather listen to good Sonic music.

Ouch, just couldn't listen to the whole thing, I tried.
