I can see that. I came to the thread thinking that this album is great but the downside is that it got so big and influential that it overshadowed the first two albums, which is a shame because they are very different than Fat of the Land but still so good. Experience and Music for the Jilted Generation deserve more attention. Hackers is such a formative movie for me and a big part of it is it's soundtrack and prodigy is a big part of it.

For me it would be "ruined" in quotes, I don't blame them for changing their style, musicians change and want to do something different, just sad that there is no more old prodigy.

But I have to make a disclaimer, I didn't listen to anything after The Fat of the Land, so my knowledge is limited. (The reason is because I got introduced to prodigy at the time of the first 3 albums but didn't follow up on them, but that is normal for me, never follow up on bands)

I considered writing “the album that ruined Prodigy for me” but decided to stick with the more inflammatory version. 🤣
