Edited one month agoAll about skylined for me… keep the rest. Maybe voodoo people and the dust brothers remix … and poison … ok it’s not half bad is it 😆 so much better than Fat of the Land. Their first two albums are absolutely killer. Pure punk. Love it
If my memory serves me right - was this not in part a reaction to the criminal justice act, eventually ed in the autumn of 1994… ?
How’s the repress. Their debut repress sounded awful -
Has a soft analog kinda sound that’s great cranked up. The mids and lows are so tight. Such a great album! Found this for $1 *wiggles eyebrows* :) -
What is it meant by "theme from fastlane"? Was that a game or movie or something? Do any prodigy buffs know? -
"Music For The Jilted Generation" is the best album from The Prodigy! "Fat of the Land" may had been more popular. But this one is better. Except for the 46 second intro, I've included every song in this album to any CD mix I made for myself. Awesome rave and jungle music. A+

Bought on cassette as a 14 year old in the airport before going on holiday to Ibiza with my parents! (Never been back, Ibiza could never again live up to that holiday, pathetic as it sounds......) Blew my tiny mind listening to it on the balcony of our self-catering apartment while watching the sun go down over the Mediterranean. A weird juxtaposition to the dark and heavy music but it will live with me forever. Bought again on CD a couple of years later as the technology in my house progressed and my obsession with the Prodigy and electronic music grew.
Liam Howlett, you'll always be a legend for this album and much more besides. -
The best Prodigy album and definitely among top 10 of electronic dance music. "Experience" was unpretentious, but slightly raw, while "MFTJG" shows Liam as a mature producer who effortlessly shifts from one style to another across the album, while never missing the mark. The diversity is particularly striking; each track bursts with originality. All their consecutive albums sound painfully one-dimensional comparing to this one, and I always had a feeling that, starting from "The fat of the land", Liam took greater care into nurturing the bands (electro-punk) image than into developing himself as an artist. -

Edited 6 years agoI'm just gonna go out and say it: I don't really get it.
One Love is a classic, and Break & Enter is pretty cool (thought it drags on for too long), but a lot of the other stuff is just kinda meh. I really don't like "Their Law", I don't get why everyone loves it so much, it's just boring electro industrial. There are some standout tracks here, like "Voodoo People", and "No Good (Start The Dance)" is an alt-dance classic, but the album really drags at 78 minutes.
2.5/5
Edit: It still drags at spots, but my opinion of this has risen much higher due to the strength of many of the tracks. 4/5 -
this record together with several other 1994 techno, rave, ambient etc. records introduced me to the electronic music. even today, this one sounds so fresh and exceptional, everytime i play the cd, it still forces me to put the hand up in the air and start the dance. atmospheric and good for listening, too. do yourself a favor and go buy it. :)

Edited 19 years agoThe album was meant to have been longer, with a full mix of 'One Love' and an additional tune called 'We Eat Rhythm', however, this wiould exceed the amount a CD could hold so they had to put on the Edit of 'One Love' and cut 'We Eat Rhythm' out completely (it has since only appeared on a tape free with Select Magazine, it's a very tribal sounding tune, with no stabs or kicks). The 'Star Wars' sample on 'Full Throttle' had to be put on backwards at the insistence of Lawyers representing George Lucas.
