The Fat of the Land
by The Prodigy
The 677th greatest album of all time
The Fat of the Land is The Prodigy's third studio album, released in 1997. It combines big beat and breakbeat rhythms with aggressive electronic production, heavy bass, distorted synths and a confrontational vocal style that draws on punk and MC traditions. The album is notable for its hard-hitting, club-oriented sound and for bringing a rock-inflected edge to late 1990s electronica.
