'Jilted' is possibly my favourite album of all time. It manages to capture so many feelings on one CD that I cannot fail to be amazed every time I play it. From the sheer anger and rage of 'Their Law' and 'Voodoo People' to the adrenaline rush that is 'Break and Enter'; from the relaxation of 'Three Kilos' to the euphoria that is 'Claustrophobic String'; the attitude of the hip-hop 'Poison' to the pure, distilled hard dance of 'No Good', this album encapsulates every emotion of the 'Jilted' generation.
Yet this album is history - the Jilted Generation have by now grown up, settled down and had kids. Music nowadays has either gone the commercial route (a la trance, garage, club) or followed the manufactured anti-establishmentism of either teeny-angst metal (think Limp Bizkit) or the 'cult of the dispossessed' that is hip hop (think Eminem). 'Music For a Jilted Generation' marks the final point before this split. It has the fast, furiousness of dance music, a spillover from the Prodigy's rave days, and also the hatred and anger of metal. It's been meticulously and masterfully produced and recorded, the track order reads like a journey around the insides of a Generation Xer's mind and the album is the epitome of the 'underground' scene that it claims as it's own in the Track 1 introduction.
Jilted is far better than either the earlier rave album 'Experience' and the subsequent 'Fat of the Land' which seemed to mark the point at which the Prodigy decided to capitalise on their 'angry' image. Jilted has tribal beats mixed with Roland electronics, sneering lyrics mixed with pipe-whistle harmonics. It's a celebration of dance music's peak.
