    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.
