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.
