3. Experience
2. Music For The Jilted Generation
1. The Fat Of The Land
Yeah, I did know what your ranking was gonna be, but that intro was still pretty funny. And the whole video was very well done, even with the random bee. This series was a lot of fun, looking forward to the next one.
7. AONO (highlights: Girls, Phoenix, Medusa's Path)
6. No Tourist (highlights: We Live Forever, Light Up The Sky)
5. The Day... (highlights: Destroy, Rebel Radio, The Day...)
4. Invaders (highlights: Thunder, Hospital)

4. Invaders Must Die
3. Experience
2. Music For The Jilted Generation
1. The Fat of the Land
1:1 same as mine; unfortunately kinda lost a bit of interest after Fat of the Land. Wish they'd place that new un-named song that they have been doing in concerts w/ Poison somewhere.. a single maybe
Cool, this is exactly the same as my list too!
@@pewburrito They've been playing that version of Poison Part 2 since 2010. It works great live, but I don't see it as much of a studio track.
Love the intro! My personal list would be pretty similar:
1- Music for the Jilted Generation
2- Experience
3- Fat of the Land
4- Invaders Must Die
5- The Day is My Enemy
6- Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned
7- No Tourists
It's been a fun little series. Even though I was only properly accustomed to The Experience, I had fun listening to some of their other albums. Their second album, in particular, was something I shouldn't have missed.
When it comes to your next discography, I'm unsure what to expect. Let's see, you mentioned it would be brief and only feature reviews for a total of four albums…
I bet it's Pete Namlook!
I say its Leftfield
In general I totally agree. Me, just as all my friends, discovered The Prodigy after the crab album, and indeed it was very-very impressive for us, comming from, like, Nirvana to The Prodigy. So, inevitably we started looking for more of their stuff, and here comes the fun part. I am from Russia, where The Prodigy were extremly big, yet never sold officially. Most of us had a bootleg The Fat Of The Land copy and even more of us had, like, the pinnacle of Prodigy's fan - the disk (or a cassette rather) with a fish on the title, called "The Rest, The Unreleased, The Last" with the tracklist, well, you can easily google. So, say, Rythm Of Life for us was as mainstream as Breathe or Firestarter. And then there was The Castbreader, yeah, google that too. Then we moved on. I really got back to The Prodigy just some 7 years ago and discovered everything that was out after The Fat all at once. That is Baby's got a temper, Invaders, The day, well, everything. And actually, while that all was good music and The Prodigy at it's finest, I can't even tell this albums apart. Putting it the worst way, I would say they all are The Fat Of The Land's self-parody. They rock yet they are basically nothing new. I can see how Liam evolutioned from Experience to Jilted and then moreso to Fat, and after that it was basically Fat again and again. I saw them live once, year before Keef died, and it was great, it was childhood, it was powerfull, it was, well, The Prodigy.
So basically my rating would be (since everyone is posting their's):
1. The Experience
1. Music For The Jilted Generation
1. The Fat of The Land
and that's it. I just don't want to listen to other work more then once or twice. Yet those three are in my car audio again.
@@BachiloDmitry agreed. Those 3 albums then crap after that
Hot takes coming up:
7. No Tourists
6. The Day Is My Enemy
5. Invaders Must Die
4. Experience
3. The Fat Of The Land
2. Always Outnumbered Never Outgunned
1. Music For The Jilted Generation
The latest 3 albums for me are mainly "compilations" of new tracks needed for the live shows and they work incredible live on stage but as an album do not do it for me.
AONO is the 2nd most Liam album after Experience and I love it for that. And I find it so balsy to so clearly use the Thriller sample. The live edit is even more so.
The rest is self explanatory.
You have some quite harsh opinions on their earlier work. In my opion TFOTL was not intended to be shocking. SMBU is a sample from Kool Keith (again) and I read that as b-boy bravoure. When the first 2 singles led to outrage and the 3rd didn't get airplay they went F it and intentiatly did the explicit video. In the MFTJG era Their Law was not even the biggest protest on the Criminal Justice Bill. That statement was done in the liner notes of the One Love single. As for the female voices on AONO I never experienced those as oversexualized. It was part of the electroclash scène (here in the Netherlands but I also think in UK, Belgium and Germany) with acts as Felix da Housecat, Miss Kitten and Peaches and clubnights as RAUW in Netherlands and Trash in UK. Good very well be that my age is betraying me now. 😊
Pretty new viewer here. Nothing of substance to say other than that I love these ranking videos.
Now that was good and accurate to say the least at 6:18.👍
Most everyone is putting Prodigy's 1st sequential 3 together as their top 3.. that says something
yes.
Since you asked about what to highlight about this album as to why not put in into dead last ranking next to Experinece, it's easily explained as stylistic preference.
Experience to me is wimpy. Dated. Chipmunky. Weak pippty beats. I don't want someone walking in and catching me listening to it.
Later Prodigy has BALLS. It punches you in the face. It's exciting.
But this goes back to what we prefer and your reviews explain why you prefer what you do and my preferences are different. I was born and I grew up with metal and had to branch out to electronic music, and blah blah blah you get it. You grew up differently and I salute our differences.
Here before brendawg comments wonky slush
wonky slush
personally i'd swap MFTJG and experience around, but overall, a good ranking nonetheless
18:44 only 4 videos, that either means 3 album reviews and a top 10 or 4 album reviews and nothing else
my guess is portishead, but i could be wrong
technically neither of the two possibilities you gave are accurate to what the series will be, although the latter option is closer in that the fourth video is not a top 10
Seefeel?
are you planning on covering that new metamatics album?
you mean the "transcendental jazz" thing he just released? pretty sure that's just a comp of old material, more than half of the tracks on it are directly pulled from his first two albums in the 90s
jilted>=experience>fat. all 10/10 for me, order can be shuffled and wouldn't really disagree for me. the rest are 7 or below for me, never really liked them, like comparing frozen pizza to some of the best pizza you've ever eaten for me. just not even comparable at all for me, totally different dimension of quality and art (for me). Invaders Must Die is mid for me, the one before it was better to me. both mid. the last two are just slightly beneath those. for me at least, some people loved Invaders Must Die but it ain't fooling me (for me). Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned is a half star or 1 star above for me. for me
the last few albums sound like a less-good Prodigy cover band you'd hear on a cruise ship or playing in a theme park
1. FOTL, 2. MFTJG 3. Experience. These 3 albums are 5 star jobs for me. The other 4 are pretty shocking IMO and it's a shame to've seen The Prodigy go off the boil more quickly than any of their contemporaries. Hard to put these into any order as none have any saving graces.
Here’s how my list would look like:
7. No Tourists
6. The Day Is My Enemy
5. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
4. Invaders Must Die
3. Experience
2. Music For The Jilted Generation
1. The Fat Of The Land
wonky slush
Mine would be
1. Experience
2. Invaders Must Die
3. The Day Is My Enemy
4. Jilted Generation
5. Fat Of The Land
6. Always Outnumbered
7. No Tourists
Liam hasen't made a good track in 20+ years
Give Medusa's Path another change 😊
I find that trajectory eerily similar to what happened to Depeche Mode after Alan Wilder left. Or when PSB just decided to stop going for all-around albums and made them either musicals or club house anthems
Warriors Dance?
7. No Tourists
6. Experience
5. The Day Is My Enemy
4. Fat Of The Land
3. Invaders Must Die
2. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
1. Music For The Jilted Generation (My favourite album of all time)
i await the day y'all wake up and realize how good outnumbered actually is :(
idk who "y'all" is since most people I've seen are way more charitable to AONO than I am and I even saw one commenter on this video rank it above two of their actual classics. I'm apparently the one with the big hot take at this point lol
In my personal and humble opinion, ranking Always outnumbered lower than Invaders and The day is my enemy is little bit unfair. Seriously, it is sad to see people ranking it that low.
7. No Tourists
6. The Day Is My Enemy
5. Invaders Must Die
4. Always Outnumbered, Never Outgunned
3. The Fat of the Land
2. Experience
