The Fat Of The Land 1997 Album

The Prodigy

Awful cover, great album. That statement really should end this review, but let's add this - out of the big electronica albums which came out in this 1996-97 time frame, easily this record has the most rebellious, testosterone-fueled 'tude of them all. The media attributed this to dancer Keith Flint whose memorable initial vocal appearances were "Firestarter" and "Breathe", which were worldwide hits just like the album. But the real engine is Liam Howlett whose meta-musical-brain rams this free-wheeling monster unapologetically down your gullet, but never forgets it was the early 90's rave crowd which got them to this point in the first place.
