Controversial opinion: It’s the album that ruined Prodigy.
Experience and Jilted Generation are amazing and I love every track.
Their first two albums were everything I loved about the genre. As soon as Smack My Bitch Up started getting radio play, they shifted their sound to match and never looked back.
I get exactly what you’re saying here. I feel the same way about pearl jam after they started working with Neil Young. Their sound changed and never went back to their harder rock roots.
I never made the Neil Young connection, but I absolutely stopped listening to Pearl Jam. The last album I enjoyed was Vitalogy, which lines up with them doing Mirror Ball with Neil Young before their No Code album.
its a total banger
Legendary
Great album, I slightly prefer invaders must die over it but i’d put it on par with music for the jilted generation for different reasons though (like both complement each other I’d say)
OH MY GOD THATS THE FUNKY SHIT!

Used to have it on loop while playing doom/quake
Fantastic album, like others have said, it was on heavy rotation in my teens, sounds track to many late night game sessions.
“Smack my Bitch Up” being a hugely popular and influential song, is also part of a long running lost media hunt for me. In the late 00’s there was a youtube video made by a 3d animator as a demo reel. It was an extended anime fight between a yellow and black sentai/robot and a bunch of other robots. SMBU was the soundtrack to the video of course, lots of bits were synced to it.
That was back in the glorious pre-copyright-bot times, and since it was a demo for an unreleased project using a hugely popular song by someone who’s name I’ve long forgotten, I can’t find it! Probably scrubbed off the net by now, the creator moved on to being a cog in the Marvel movie machine.
I’ve never heard of this but that album art goes so hard, now I have to listen to it
There is not a single bad track on this entire album. Every track rocks.
It’s a classic. Back to back bangers. Even some of the more “out there” songs like Narayan. Though there’s barely any albums I don’t like from them. Maybe “Experience” because it’s a little much sometimes. Quite partial to “Invaders Must Die” and “No Tourists” since I grew up with IMD and because NT is their last album before Keith died (RIP)
Invaders Must Die is so good but Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is another good one, mainly because of Juliette Lewis.
Thoughts of how I was gullible enough to fall for the Columbia House scheme.
Great album though.
Lol you’re supposed to cancel after your 15 cd’s for $1, bro
It makes me nostalgic because it was one of the first CDs I owned.
The first was Jock Jams Volume 2, if you were wondering
Ha! Very funny that you mention Jock Jams Volume 2.
When my wife was in labor with our first daughter, and it came time to push, the album she wanted to listen to was Jock Jams Volume 1.
We just had our second daughter yesterday, we are still in the Maternity ward. Guess what album we listened to during the pushing part of labor? That’s right…
Jock Jams Volume 2.
Fantastic choices. Volume 3 has some good tracks but pales in comparison
I’ve never heard of this before and I have not listened to it but I just really like crabs so I bet it’s a good one
You owe it to yourself to listen to that album ASAP
I took your advice and can confirm that it is in fact a good one 🦀🦀🦀
Good album, so many great tracks.
