Advantages: A mindblowing album for its time and still sounds very fresh today. Disadvantages: Playing this album at load volumes may blow your speakers!!!

This album was quite simply amazing for it's time. It has been slightly overshadowed by the third album by The Produgy - The Fat of the Land - which did alot better. However, Music for the Jilted Generation is just as good. All the classics are included on this album from the stomping beats of Their Law and Poison, to the quick paced pumping rhythm of Voodoo people and No Good (Start the Dance).
The album quicks of with a short intro and then it's straight into the music with Break & Enter. You'll never forget this tune once you've heard it, heavy breakbeats meet Baby D, excellent.
Next up is Their Law featuring Pop Will Eat Itself, a perfect mix of grunge like guitars and bad boy beats. This track is still a big favorite of the fans and is still included in the most recent live track list.
Full Throttle is a crazy brain bashing break beat bomb, you just can't help but move to this one. It's one of those tunes that never makes it any further than the album and maybe B-Side, but its still as good as any other track on the album.
The pace doesn't slow down, Voodoo people is 5th on the album. This track is legendary, you will never forget it once you've heard it. This track was so brilliant it was part of the official sound track for the film hackers. You must listen to Voodoo people if you haven't already heard it.
Speedway, another heavy dance track. Play this song in your car, you'll feel like your driving at 200mph, the energy in this track is intense and just makes you want to move.
Another track that never made is any further than the album, The Heat (The Energy), a warping bassline and beats that make the ground shake. This track is a head banger.
Poison, if you haven't heard this one you don't know The Prodigy as well as you thought. This track sounds incredibly fresh everytime you hear it. Poison will always be a Prodigy classic and will never grow old. Truly legendary.
Even if you have never heard this track you will instantly recognize it. No Good (Start the Dance), this is a huge rave track, banging beats that you just have to move to.
One Love, on the album it is actually and edited version to fit it on. This track also featured in the flim hackers, it was also the first single from Music for the Jilted Generation and it was an instant hit.
Now we move into the final three tracks titled "The Narcotic Suite", I'll let you work out why. These 3 tracks a little more down beat than the rest of the album. 3 Kilos showing a more melodic side to The Prodigy, blended into Skylined again more melodic but with some of those distinct Prodigy beats mixed in for good measure. The album is topped off with Claustrophobic Sting, pumping break beats on top of raw twisted leads, an amazing track which for some reason doesn't really get much exposure.
If you a Prodigy fan this album is a must, it is definately one of their best. The tracks on this album will be remebered for years to come if not forever in the dance genre.
Advantages: Still sounds bloody brilliant 12 years on Disadvantages: Old fogeys might complain about the noise
I first heard this album when it came out nearly 12 years ago. I was only 14 at the time. It still sounds amazing. When it came out, the tracks sounded way ahead of their time. They still sound fresh, havent dated one bit. I would recommend this to anyone who likes dance music, no sorry I mean LOVES dance music. I bought it 3 years ago for £5.99 in a sale. My only regret is that I didn't buy it much sooner. I never get tired of listening to it. I ... ...case other people complain. I just tell them "If it's too loud, then you are too old". The best track on the album for me is track number 4 called Full throttle, which has an almost hypnotic beat to it, I think no good start the dance is as brilliant as ever, voodoo people is fab too and poison is one of the best tracks on the album. All of the tracks are brilliant basically, Liam Howlett is a genius. Definitely one of the best dance albums ever. ...

Advantages: A peak in dance music. Disadvantages: Not for those who like smiley faces and glow sticks.
dance music's finest hour, Music for the JiltedGeneration.
The Prodigy's first album, "theProdigy Experience", can be said to very much a product of its time i.e. the first outpourings of rave. Messy, slightly cheesy, but full of vibrance and energy. JiltedGeneration however contained all the energy, without the happy smiley face. Right from the very start a aura of menace pervades the atmosphere. "Break and Enter" is superb, a sledgehammer of a song that captures you and never lets you go. The theme of smashing the system carries on throughout the album, most obviously in the collaboration with Pop Will Eat Itself, "Their Law", and its battlecry of "F*ck em, and Their Law". "No good" must be considered one of the best dance songs ever written, and certainly the most danceable.
Its not all big beats and basslines though. "Heat (The ...
Advantages: Was at the beginning of a whole new wave of music Disadvantages: Cover design not to everyones satisfaction / liking !
MUSIC FOR THE JILTEDGENERATION - RRP £12.99 - Bargains to be found all over the place
Music For the JiltedGeneration was released in July 1994 and was The Prodigy's much anticpated follow-up to the classic debut album "Experience", released orginally in September 1992, including the Rave classics "Charly" and "Everybody In The Place".
Firstly, a little background on my muscial tastes ... They are extremely varied ... from Hardcore Gabba Techno, Drum & Bass, Rave, Funnky House, Garage, and Trance ... to ... Hip Hop, R&B, Soul ... to ... 60's, 70's, 80's...to.... Rock, Indie, Pop ..... to .... Motown, Reggae, Urban ... to ... Classical and Instrumental ... I like some element of it all. Therefore, to try and pick a favourite ever song from this quite eclectic taste can prove difficult, as you would need to narrow it down to one ...
Advantages: Best and most groundbreaking dance album ever Disadvantages: Absolutely none
This was Liam Howlett's career apex. The magical maestro of dancefloor electronica and beats, and his band, dancers Keith Flint and Leeroy Thornhill, along with MC Maxim, announced themselves upon the wider public with their underground hit album 'TheProdigy Experience', which was blamed for single-handedly killing rave.
Not a bad way to start! Many critics felt Liam's brand of tongue-in-cheek rave satire would see them sink without trace were it to be repeated. Luckily for The Prodigy, and the wider record-buying public, it wasn't. Howlett embraced and straddled various dance sub-genres within this LP. Elements of house, techno, hip-hop, jungle and trance all rear their heads, with the result being a near-flawless album to dance, bang your head, and get off your head to.

Album Notes
The Prodigy: Liam Howlett, Maxim Reality, Leeroy Thornhill, Keith Flint. Additional personnel: Lance Riddler (guitar); Phil Bent (flute). The band who stand to give the much maligned English county of Essex a 'good' reputation, Prodigy succeed where Ian Dury and Brian Poole And The Tremeloes failed, i.e., achieving worldwide acceptance and success. Their aggressive, original and extraordinarily exciting style of dance music has created a thousand imitators. Although this record has since been overshadowed by the international success of The Fat Of The Land, it is still a vital record for students of 90s techno/dance. Prodigy lead their pack by a mile.
Album Reviews
Spin (9/99, p.150) - Ranked #60 in Spin Magazine's "90 Greatest Albums of the '90s." NME (12/24/94, p.22) - Ranked #9 in NME's list of the `Top 50 Albums Of 1994.' Rolling Stone (4/20/95, p.80) - 3.5 Stars - Very Good - "...A soundtrack for those British rave hordes who dodge Tory truncheons, MUSIC FOR THE JILTED GENERATION thrills initiates with a political buzz Americans might miss. But the Prodigy's hard-core techno generates universal dance fever....Truly trippy..." Option (7-8/95, pp.129-131) - "...the Prodigy jolts an industrial sensibility with techno drive and then rides the seemingly endless grooves until we're numb...for intensely pumping dance music, this album has more life than most..." Alternative Press (4/95, p.84) - "...JILTED GENERATION throws much darker shapes than its predecessor. Moreover, it slams harder and rawer and covers more ground--21st century hip hop, Latin funk, horror trance, Vapourspace-like ambient--in addition to their usual crowd-pleasing, hi-NRG tekno. Thumbs up for the use of guitar and flute, too..."
