Music for the Jilted Generation - Prodigy Reviews

This album, the Prodigy's second, was released at a time when the original 'Rave scene' had fractured and was becoming closer to what we know now; separate scenes such as Drum and Bass, House and Garage. This comes through in the music with greater separation in the speed and styles of the tracks here. This is another must have album, 'Music for ...  Read the complete review

Music for the Jilted Generation was the Prodigy's second album, it was released in 1994 and is much darker and harder than their first rave based techno album. The Prodigy first came to prominence during the early nineties as a rave band with hits such as 'Charlie' and 'Death of the Prodigy Dancer', with the mercurial production and ...  Read the complete review

This is, without doubt, my favourite all time album and takes me right back to 1994 when I was 14 and just getting into music. Every single track on Music for the Jilted Generation is a masterpiece (which is why it quite rightly recently featured on Zane Lowe's Masterpieces on Radio 1) starting with the warped 'Break and Enter' and then racking ...  Read the complete review

Music for the Jilted Generation is, without a doubt, one of the seminal albums of the 90's. Produced in 1994 it is an explosive, angry, dirty, raw album with an unparalelled sense of energy. Music for the Jilted Generation draws heavily on the breakbeat and hip hop influences that produced 'Experience' whilst fusing the myriad of syles ...  Read the complete review

Think The Prodigy and you probably come up with scary videos and energy bordering on racket. Then again you are probably amongst those who ignored Music for the Jilted Generation, probably more an important, insightful release than many people would care to consider. Apart from slowly morphing The Prodigy into the what it is recognised as today, ...  Read the complete review

Anyone who has a couple of prodigy singles, or has just flicked through the album listening to the more popular tracks like 'no good' or 'poison' would know that the prodigy are most probably the best dance/teckno act in the world. But, listen to the album all the way through, and you'll see that Liam Howlett (Prodigy DJ) has ...  Read the complete review

I am a huge fan of the Prodigy I love this album, a typical prodigy album with their electronic beats and typical synthesizer, computer and electronic sounds. The album fulfils its potential throughout. Voodoo people is a brilliant track, however, my two personal favourites have to be ‘Poison’ and ‘No Good (start the ...  Read the complete review

This album is the most dark and aggressive of all their albums. During the time that this album got released the whole dance scene split off into different areas. The prodigy’s music was revolutionary and very original at the time which is something that the prodigy always seem to be able to do and keep on doing. As always many tracks have ...  Read the complete review

Released back in 1994, this album is something of a breakthrough. From strength to strength, the Prodigy were the masters of their field and completely unbeatable. After the superb "Prodigy Experience" everyone expecting something in a similar vein. This album both suprised existing fans and earned them no end of new ones. ...  Read the complete review

This album is a great electronic album. Although it took me a while to get into, as I hated it for quite a while after I got it, repeated listening is worthwhile. Music for the Jilted Generation is a very long album at nearly the full length of the CD (71 minutes), but the majority of it is class. The only song which I think ...  Read the complete review

I remember buying this album the week it came out back in the summer of 1994 and I have to admit at the time I found it quite disappointing. I expected more high energy fuelled rave as on "Experience" - instead I got a mix of furious breakbeats and edgy live guitars. The best thing about this album is that it grows on you, and it's ...  Read the complete review

This album, simply put, is fantastic. Those of you who only heard of Prodigy from The Fat of the Land, may be disappointed because it's not the electronica fused with punk attitude that you're used to. But actually, you may be pleasantly surprised too. The beats that flow on this album are sweet. Liam Howlett can do it all. He can rock you ...  Read the complete review

This is the second album by the Prodigy, it followed two years after their first and it was worth the wait. The sound has changed and the tracks are more mature and less "ravey" and repetitive. Again it include all the chart hits such as "Voodoo People", "No Good (Start the Dance)" and "Poison". However, ...  Read the complete review

Well, despite my love for 'The Prodigy Experience', the moment I heard 'No Good (Start the dance)' and 'Voodoo People' I knew I had to have this album. From start to finish it is crammed full of break beats and tunes that simply have to be played at full volume or else you don't do them justice. The ultimate album ...  Read the complete review

Back when I was into hard rock music, I used to read Kerrrang. For some time they had made occasional references to these album, telling its readership that they would like it and it was ‘harder’ dance music. So, like the easily swayed sap that I am, I went out and bought it, brought it home, and stuck it in the player. First ...  Read the complete review
