comment |
Music for the Jilted Generation is the second album by The Prodigy, released in July 1994.After the success of the band's debut album Experience, producer Liam Howlett decided to make their work less cartoonish, doing away with the childish samples and colourful melodies that had defined their music up to that point. This album was considerably darker than its predecessor, with Howlett turning to industrial music and guitars for a new, heavier sound.The event which affected Howlett the most prior to this album's release was a proposed act of the UK parliament, then under consideration, that would ban illegal raves. The whole of the rave scene was indignant because this would restrict the rights of the youth to have fun, and Howlett joined the movement, composing "Their Law" as a Protest Song. This controversy added more depth and legitimacy to the album.This album earned quite a few accolades in the UK, and has been added to numerous lists of the greatest albums of the decade. The Prodigy continued their expansion toward rock more prominently on their follow-up album, The Fat of the Land. |

Serious Business: The act prohibiting illegal raves which inspired this album. It was the issue which made MftJG more resonant. Obviously in the general scene of things it was an unimportant matter and was soon forgotten. Also The Prodigy were apolitical (Liam Howlett later resented the name of the album). However, in 1994 it definitely added to the appeal of the release. |

Epic Raving: Most of the songs. "Speedway" clocks at nearly 9 minutes. "Break & Enter" is 8:24 long. Two segments of "The Narcotic Suite" are over 7 minutes. "Their Law", "Voodoo People", "Poison" and "No Good (Start the Dance)" are al over 6 minutes. |
