What is needed left to say about this album. This album represents the quality and originality of The Prodigy and Liam Howlett at the same time. Very diverse and powerfull album that shows that The Prodigy has developed from a young rave band to something more serious.

To bad they went a totally different way after this album, as I would have loved having a third album with tracks as full of energy as the ones on this album (and on Experience, too), something I miss on The Fat Of The Land. The prodigy at this moment was far ahead of its time.
