The Fat of the Land

Tjis album bridged dance and alternative/indie mainly thanks the big singles. These still sound as vibrate today as when Firestarter was terrorising the charts.

The rest however was better in my memory than hearing now. It’s not bad just nothing great.

There's a very long review of this album on the site (correctly) taking about the optics of a song where someone repeatedly shouts "Smack my bitch up". I remember there being some controversy over it at the time (although mostly because The Prodigy seems to make about 75% of their decisions based on how much controversy they could cause). All I can say in my defence is that this came out when I was 16, and it did not even register in my teenage mind that I probably shouldn't be enjoying something with those lyrics. It's catchy!

I love Breathe, and always have. I like it better than Firestarter, which was absolutely the biggest hit, and the one that seems to have had the most staying power.

Of the non-singles, I most enjoyed the random appearance of Kular Shaker's Crispian Mills on Narayan. I do think a little bit of The Prodigy goes a very long way though, and 56 minutes is a lot.

I'd like a 2.5, but instead:

3/5

Feels like I should like this album but I just didn't.

This shit fucking rips and I love it. Put me in a great mood

Favorite track(s): Smack My Bitch Up, Breathe, Funky Shit, Firestarter, Fuel My Fire

I liked this more than I thought I would; it's a massive step up in quality from "Jilted". A strong four.

I just listened to the episode of the POD Kast about this album last week and was hoping for an excuse to relisten to this. I enjoy this album, even if it's kinda dumb guy heavy raver music. The Prodigy found their own lane around this time and I don't think we've begun to see the last of their influence.

I'm not a fan of this kind of music. And I may not listen to this album again. However, I found this one pretty interesting. This is between 2 and 3 stars, but I'm leaning towards 3 stars.

This music sounds like the birthplace of frosted tips. It’s functional for sure, I could definitely rave to it. But for listening at home as I do chores, it didn’t amp me up or make me enjoy taking out the recycling. It’s repetitive and homogenous, which is fine in da club, but I didn't really enjoy it as an album.

The intro to Firestarter was the only part I really enjoyed

Det er sgu ret fedt, det her. Jeg skal have hørt noget mere af det. Sniger sig med nød og næppe op på en 4'er

3.8.

This fucking bangs and that's all there is to it. Sometimes music really is just that simple.

didn´t love it

This gave me a headache.

Awesome. Just awesome.

All timer.

The first 2 songs are great but the rest kind of had me less interested.

Good album. Not sure I can imagine listening to this anywhere that *I* would go which does make replay-ability a little difficult. Also, I enjoy it when songs have words.

Season: Early Winter at Night
Favorite Song: Breathe

the cover of this album perfectly represents how it feels to listen to it

This has held up a lot better than I expected, especially for a genre that didn’t necessarily lend itself that well to albums.

This might be the single greatest work out album I've heard (tied with The Second Toughest in the Infants for favorite running album. Smack My Bitch Up and Breathe and both outstanding. I don't much care for the Diesel Power (not a huge Kool Keith fan these days) or Funky Shit. But when I'm running it's all good. 5 for exercising and 3 for casual headphone listening. 4/5
