What no one has reviewed Fat of the land by Prodigy yet!!l I am about to rectify that.
Prodigy Started playing in the early 1990’s and produced “The fat of the land” in 1997.T he style of Fat of the land is quite varied, a bit techno a bit dance a bit rock. There are 10 tracks on this Album. The first Track is smack my bitch up. A good steady techno beat ,lots of rhythm little tune. The words Smack my bitch up are repeated at intervals through the Album there are some wailing vocals. This track certainly gets the adrenalin flowing the beat coursing throughout the listener’s body.
Breathe is the next track starting with some guitar, “Breathe with me exhale exhale” says the vocals this is not an uplifting tune. It has a continuous thumping beat, Yes I am gently nodding my head in time.
Diesel Power next track. This is again full of rhythm continuous beat. There are more words on this track. To be honest not so keen on this track its ok but not so good ass some of the other tracks.
Funky S*** the rhythm of this track changes a bit, hip hop and rave, a few weird sounds and the vocals Oh my god that’s a funky S***
Serial thrilla next track. A heavier rock track with synth in the background. Still a good insistent beat. Listening to this I want to get up and jump around.
Mindfields next. This track starts with a single beat that is added too. “This is dangerous I walk through minefields and watch your head rock”. A more thoughtful track less brash. A slightly slower pace. This is a track that makes you listen.
Naryan next. “If you believe the western sun is falling down on everyone” This track has a continuous beat through it and some piano, some squelchy noises. My foot isn’t tapping ,my head not bopping to this one so much . The beat does not make my body move.
Fire starter, My attention is all there with the beginning of this track, “hey hey hey" My body moving, my senses alert I’m a firestarter, twisted fire starter you’re the firestarter twisted firestarter,” lots of energy flows with this track. Its aggressive its demanding, lots of emotion. I must have heard this track many times my senses seem to know what notes will be played next.
Climbatise This track has a solid bass line ,but my body is still on a high after firestarter needs to calm down a little before I can listen to this next track properly. This track is an instrumental . Once I get into it I know I am listening to the direction the notes are taking me. A heavy beat bit then a calmer piece.
Fuel my fire. This track starts of with a heavy beat, there are more vocals on this track. I am not so keen on this track seems a bit lost. There is still the beat but it does not grab me so much I think this is a weak way to end this album I prefer to be left on a high
. The thing that makes this Album stand out is its beat really it is continuous and it gets your body molecules moving. Although the tracks styles are slightly different they are blend ed together ,and are classic Prodigy. I like this Album. Thank you for listening with me . . .
Advantages: another classic from the prodigy Disadvantages: none
this is there third album and liam howlett is still keeping his work as original as it gets every album has a different style but he still manages to let you know that this is the prodigy dont get me wrong this is not there best album but i would still recomend buying it to anyone , this is a must have for any cd collection, there are a couple of tunes im not to keen on but on the whole this is still an awesome album with songs like
smack my bitch ...

Album Notes
The Prodigy: Keith Flint, Maxim Reality (vocals); Liam Howlett (various instruments); Leeroy Thornhill. Additional personnel: Shahin Bada, Kool Keith, Crispin Mills (vocals); Jim Davies (guitar); Saffron (background vocals). FAT OF THE LAND was nominated for a 1998 Grammy for Best Rock Album. Among the most anticipated releases of 1997, The Prodigy's third full-length album is a bulldozing rock-techno hybrid. But while the guitar/samples/hyper-beats mosaic that made "Firestarter" an MTV breakout are found in every nook and cranny of this album, the overall building blocks are far more diverse, making it a tangible melting pot of pre-millennium pop styles. There's a definite hip-hop element here. "Diesel Power," which features quality mic control by Kool Keith (of Ultramagnetic MCs and Dr. Octagon fame), is new-style hip-hop sculpture, applying techno and acid-house textures to apocalyptic ends. Both "Funky Shit" and "Smack My Bitch Up" are throbbing dance-floor ejaculations wrapped around, respectively, Beastie Boys and De La Soul refrains. Kula Shaker's Crispin Mills adds vocals to an Eastern-influenced trance workout called "Narayan." All this adds up to proof positive that THE FAT OF THE LAND is just the tip of the iceberg.

Q (6/00, p.70) - Ranked #47 in Q's "100 Greatest British Albums" - "...This was Keeping It Real, Essex-style, a uniquely British spin on contemporary US influences, rooted in the dance revolution....somewhere for rock and rave to meet in pursuit of instant thrills..." Rolling Stone (8/7/97, pp.59-60) - 3.5 Stars (out of 5) - "...packs all the visceral punch of rock at its incendiary best....populist electro punk that serves as a perfect Brit counterpart to the industrial noir of Trent Reznor or the jittery soundscapes of Wu-Tang Clan's RZA..." Spin (9/97, p.155) - 7 (out of 10) - "...maybe the best fusion of pseudo-rap and pseudo-punk since Rage Against The Machine..." NME (6/28/97, p.54) - "...the first block rockin' post-Oasis amyl-techno-punk album....as well as reaffirming their position as head-warping slam-kings of the pop underground, [FAT OF THE LAND] seems set to be the ultimate party soundtrack both sides of the ocean..." Entertainment Weekly (7/11/97, pp.65-66) - "...Prodigy leader and beat master Liam Howlett has made THE FAT OF THE LAND harder, more subterranean, more diverse, and more vocal-oriented than previous Prodigy records....This is dance music not about release but aggression, making it ideal party music for the end of the century..." - Rating: B
