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 can appreciate their later stuff but I agree that the first two albums are better. You might say they are rougher and under produced but they captured the sound of underground at the time. You look back at a lot of the early music that came out of the rave scene and it's almost naive in its production but will always be special to me.
