Advantages: Original, innovative, classic Prodigy Disadvantages: Some tracks are a little lengthy with much of the same stuff
This was the debut album of The Prodigy that was released in 1992 by XL Recordings. The album is truly the groups most innovative work and many of the tracks have themes running through them that are rather random, yet kinda humerous and remind some of old adverts (Charlie - "Charlie says always tell your Mummy before going off somewhere").
The tracks can be viewed as similar in places, but on the whole they all have a distinct difference and I ...

Advantages: Brilliance, genius and originality of classic Prodigy. Disadvantages: Tends to get a tad boring in some places.
This is classic prodigy. and when i say classic i mean classic, because this does not sound like Prodigy. or should I say Prodigy's new stuff is NOT Prodigy, this is them, in their prime. All the songs have differences, and individuality, and in all their own rights, brilliance. It has classics like "Charly" and "Out Of Space", yet these songs are unknown to apparent "Prodigy fans". This song is quite comical to say the truth, many casually made songs ...

Advantages: Still good to listen to and very original Disadvantages: Prodigys music has changed a lot since and may not be to everyones taste
This is the debut album by the prodigy and was released in November 92. This band originated from the rave scene of the early 90’s and started their career played at raves and small clubs.
Their second single, ‘Charly’ got to number 3 in the charts, this gave rave a big step into mainstream music and into the charts. This single sampled the famous saying from the children’s safety ad with the cat and the young boy saying ...

Great debut Review ofExperience - Prodigy (The)by
dan7hughes
Advantages: Classic Prodigy Disadvantages: More restrained style than recent albums
This is the Prodigy's debut album and is the start of a great career. This first album orignates from the late 80's rave scene. Despite these underground links the album succeeded beyond the groups expectations in the chart scene. Singles such as Your Love, Charly, Out of Space and Fire all hit the top 20 of the charts.
It is a good album, but will not appeal to some of the fans of their second two albums. This is beacuse the album is refrained to ...

Advantages: great fun Disadvantages: rather repetitive
This album is a classic collectors piece for anybody interested in the origins and development of dance music today. Whilst I am a bit fan of the Prodigy, I think this, their first album, really does tell of the music scene as it was in the very early 1990s. The cheesy rave lyrics, poorly sampled and stretched, are interesting to listen to just to wonder how these songs were ever really seen as vaguely 'cool'. As an album of its time it was nothing ...

Advantages: Amazing Original, Fast, Slow, High, Low all at once Disadvantages: None
The Prodigy were an underground dance act playing there way through england at under ground raves and clubs such as Shelly's in Stoke and Eclipse at Coventry.. the whole feel of the album from the joke song "out of space" (that takes the rise out of a rival act - Altern8 from Staffordshire, who allways wore black head to toe suits, with florescent yellow dust - masks.) to the true mood song weather experience... a mellow swooping tune, that pulls ...
