The Greatest Music
Music for the Jilted Generation
by The Prodigy
The 448th greatest album of all time
Music for the Jilted Generation, released in 1994, is The Prodigy’s second studio album, produced chiefly by Liam Howlett. It expands their breakbeat hardcore roots into a harder, more structured fusion of breakbeat, techno and early big beat, featuring propulsive breakbeats, distorted synth leads, heavy sampling and punk-inflected aggression. The record channels UK rave culture and a confrontational mood toward restrictions on dance events, alternating high-energy club tracks with darker instrumental passages and marking a more aggressive, album-focused approach to electronic music.
