Product Description
Product Description
Music For The Jilted Generation, despite commercial success, was a harsh underground rave statement proving that Essex rave auteur Liam Howlett could transcend the novelty acid house of many of his peers. Fat Of The Land, however, showed a very different side to The Prodigy; the exaggerated punk pastiche of "Firestarter" and "Breathe", with vocals provided by the band's cartoon Johnny Rotten, Keith Flint, proved that The Prodigy were, at heart, showmen. Fat was as influenced by American punk as it was by any form of dance music--demonstrated with a furious cover of L7's "Fuel My Fire"--and such a destructive, passionate fusion saw The Prodigy topping festival bills all over the world. Elsewhere, "Mindfields" and the irrepressibly controversial "Smack My Bitch Up" were brutal techno assaults, but driven by a defiantly heavy metal sensibility. Fat may have alienated the raving "old-skool", but it deservedly elevated The Prodigy to national public enemies. --Louis Pattison

Format:Audio CD
This is the Prodigy at its best. The tracks are so well executed, and Keith and Maxim provide mouth-watering vocals. Liam Howlett is a genius, and the techno-rock beats he creates are fabulous.
The best tracks are definetly Firestarter, Smack My Bitch Up and Breathe.
Enjoy!!

Nearly 14 years old and still unbeatable. Prodigy at their best. Appeals to just about everyone out there. Never off my playlists, at work or at play. What more can I say? Psychosomatic, addict, insane...

Brilliant cd. Full of good tracks to liven the place up. Still sounds good now in 2011, not at all dated. A genuine classic and a must have for anyones cd collection.

The Prodigy is the greatest band out there
Aside from Fuel my fire and firestarter, this album is truly one of the seven wonders of the world. If you like any forms of electronica, this album is for you. Read more

Heaviest electronic album I have heard
This record is excellent. It has some catchy melodies, delightfully offensive lyrics and abundant energy flowing at you. Read more

good..but
I like this album but think some of the songs are a bit weak e.g Diesel Power. I did like Fuel my Fire a lot.
