| Editorial Reviews:
Music For The Jilted Generation, despite commercial success, was a harsh underground rave statement proving that Essex rave auteur Liam Howlett could transcend the novelty acid house of many of his peers. Fat Of The Land, however, showed a very different side to The Prodigy; the exaggerated punk pastiche of "Firestarter" and "Breathe", with vocals provided by the band's cartoon Johnny Rotten, Keith Flint, proved that The Prodigy were, at heart, showmen. Fat was as influenced by American punk as it was by any form of dance music--demonstrated with a furious cover of L7's "Fuel My Fire"--and such a destructive, passionate fusion saw The Prodigy topping festival bills all over the world. Elsewhere, "Mindfields" and the irrepressibly controversial "Smack My Bitch Up" were brutal techno assaults, but driven by a defiantly heavy metal sensibility. Fat may have alienated the raving "old-skool", but it deservedly elevated The Prodigy to national public enemies. --Louis Pattison

The Prodigy is the greatest band out there September 5, 2007
Ms. S. P. Merrick (Essex, UK)
Aside from Fuel my fire and firestarter, this album is truly one of the seven wonders of the world. If you like any forms of electronica, this album is for you.
The Only album greater than this is the Prodigy's previous album - Music for the jilted generation.
Heaviest electronic album I have heard July 11, 2007
Pelagea (London, UK)
This record is excellent. It has some catchy melodies, delightfully offensive lyrics and abundant energy flowing at you. I usually listen to it when I am in a mood for something hard-hitting (when Metallica is already not enough).
 very good May 7, 2006
