This is the albums that had it’s release date famously pushed back due to the main creator of the band, Liam Howlett preferring to play tomb raider rather than finishing the album by its deadline. Even with the distraction of Lara Croft this album it is still a brilliant album to listen to and even better seeing the tracks on this album performed live.
Some of the tracks featured on this album are Breathe, Firestarter, Smack my bitch up, Climbatize and MindFields.
I found that this album to be slightly more commercial than the other albums with Skin from Skunk Anansie and Crispian Mills from Kula Shaker both collaborating on the album. The differences between this album and the previous two is that it has a lot more vocals on it than they have ever done before with both Keith and Maxim singing on several tracks. The band definitely knows how to create original music, as their three albums sounds a lot different from each other, progressing and inventing new sounds which is what makes them sound so good.
Personally I prefer the second album which was a lot darker and more of a dance genre, but this album has gone to new levels and has elements of punk, dance and rock all in one. This has been their most successful album by far, maybe because the first single, Firestarter went straight in at number 1 in the charts and brought them right into the mainstream music scene. This could have been due to the fact that video was very raw and aggressive with Keith Flint as centre stage with his spiky hair and body piercing and caused many parents to complain as they though it was too scary for their children to be watching on Top Of The Pops, but as usual these types of complaints always seem to make them more popular.
